Yeah.. my 'awkward' doesn't mean Mark and Mint's acting. I think Mark's acting is alright and Mint's been good since her very first lakorn so I don't think we can blame her on this. I think Mint is like Boy. She'll do exactly what the director told her to do. So she would change according to the director. Her acting depends on what the director interpret the script and character. She doesn't interpret it herself and I don't think she's a type of person who wants to argue with adults too.At first, the lack of chemistry disappointed me, but your choice of word, "awkward," struck a chord. Someone mentioned pages ago that we probably don't perceive as much chemistry from Din+ChaAem as much as from Fai+Jeed because of the context in which we're introduced to them. I think that's a valid point. Although Fai and Jeed weren't lovers yet when we first met them, they were at least acquaintances and neighbors living in the same town, knew each other since they were children, and as we all know by now, were subconsciously and secretly in love with each other.According to Fai, when, where, how, who knows? LOL.
On the other hand, we first meet Din and ChaAem when theyre supposed to be strangers, so of course the level of familiarity they have would not be on par with Fai and Jeeds. I think the level of chemistry were allowed to see may have been channeled and affected more by the directing rather than Mark and Mints performance. The same can be said for the awkwardness that we see between Din and ChaAems interactions. Theyre not even at a beginning stage of romance yet. Its more like a pre-stage because none of them have romantic intent towards one another. Unlike for example, in TH, at least one of the pranangs (Pupen) knew early on that he had the hots for the other (Nam). Im sure anyone whos in a relationship can attest to having awkward moments with their significant other at a time when their relationship was defined as merely being strangers, friends, or acquaintances. At this stage, I think the awkwardness between Din and ChaAem is appropriate.
Unless we're talking about awkwardness in the delivery of Mark and Mint's acting. Though it'd be difficult to distinguish it being purposeful or not. Either way, if it was not on purpose, I think the director should be accountable. If it was intended, then it's probably according to the script.
Rasa, I have a few questions about the novels. For some reason, I find myself interested in PLR. Did you mention that PLR is the best out of the four stories, or did you say that the author for PLR was the best out of the four authors? Hmm, either way, my main curiosity is, if PLR is the best story out of the four in your opinion, can you tell me what makes it so? /curious ^_^
Ahhh. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your extensive reply. I thought you would just give me a short answer. I really appreciate it.Yeah.. my 'awkward' doesn't mean Mark and Mint's acting.

About the novel, I think it's the best in the term of writting skill and the interesting plot. It's written by the newbie novelists so the writing style are not so smooth. I think other books seem like fanfictions or chicklit when PLR is really smooth. It's really a novel.
The plot is interesting too. In the novel version, we wouldn't know Cha-em at all. It's full of suspense. We would know only Patthapee's point of view. We would gradually know Cha-em litlle by little just like Patthappe and we would know why he gradually falls for her. Pathapee is a boring type of guy. He's a thinker and a planer. So he doesn't act much. It's better to know his thought not his action.
Cha-em is not smart, just like in the lakorn. She's clumsy and always makes mistakes. I think she's unreasonable too. But in the novel, she's really lovable. She's dumb but she can win smart Pathapee's heart. The interesting part is that she's been a loser for her whole life when Pathapee is always the winner. But finally, Pathapee would be defeated by her.
Anyway, in lakorn it's not like this. I don't like how Pathapee tried to kiss her when they first met. It's not sensible at all to do sexual harassment to the intruder like that. It's not Din I've know since TH at all. It's even worse that Cha-em seems to like it. -__-
Anyway, it's getting better. I still love Mark & Mint.
This sounds romantic.She's dumb but she can win smart Pathapee's heart. The interesting part is that she's been a loser for her whole life when Pathapee is always the winner. But finally, Pathapee would be defeated by her.
I thought her reaction was odd at first, then I watched it again and just concluded it was her just being weird. LOL. Who knows.When Mark was giving Kim a compliment saying that Kim is pretty, why did Mint say "Oh really"? She sounded like she was surprised that Mark thought Kim was pretty. Anyways, the picture where it has all four of the siblings with the sign of 4 Huojai Haeng Khun Khao was so cute. It's pretty kool and cute how they did the signs.
