@CPY and everyone, I'm watching this story over at Bitter Sweet Kisses upto episode 12 with subs and continued on youtube. For those like you
@CPY &
@phatman @Rachfull @Amata and the rest who understands Thai will be the lucky ones though it's more a family story, not the romantic one. But in that vein it's quite good, all the same, romance and family. It's called sai ruk sai sawat.
The story spans generations & even within the next generation its characters are people who fell in love with someone who doesn't love them. Not in a vicious, selfish way but the fact that the "I can't make you love me if you don't" theme is woven into their lives - you can't hate the characters for not loving, you pity them for not getting the ones they pine for.
The lone figure from the start of the story is Chao. He's rich & a nobleman & engaged to be married to Yok. Yok loves him deeply despite them being matched by the elders. But while away Chao fell in love with Fongkae, but gave her away when he realised that she's in love with someone else. He gave her a special hair pin, saying that's now his wedding gift to her & made the guy Khun Chai promise to always keep her happy; if he doesn't Chao will come get her. Meanwhile he returned & was honest with Yok, that he can't marry her now that his heart belongs to someone else. He asked her to keep her engagement ring as token that they will be lifelong friends. She didn't blame him because from start theirs wasn't a love match, they're from noble families & have to marry within their class. Yok married married a titled lord who too fell in love with her at first sight, but over the years her heart still loves her ex-fiancee. She wears his ring on her right hand, and that's one of the things Chao noticed when he saw her years later. Both Yok and Fongkae are very fine, kind and gentle women, and though Yok hurts she never thought ill of the other one - whereas Fongkae didn't know the other existed.
If you have time you should try watching this story, it's good.
