Hi, not new to forum but new as a Registerd User as of today. Just wanted to add a few things since I been following this post.
Scene with belt. Charles is using his belt to hold Fahlada down so she would not do anything to him if he comes close to her. He was trying to mend her bandage on her foot, which she got cut after Charles left her bare-feeted on the sidewalk. After he dragged her for a makeover, he had her old clothes & shoes tossed in the garbage and she had difficulties walking in high heels. He drag her to a restaurant where he get kicked by her under the table. They get a surprise visit by Ta, her mother and Sahat. Fahlada makes a distraction to escape from Charles by spilling food on Ta and causing a scene. Charles knows what's up and chase after Fahlada. They argues and she toss the painful high heels into his car with one almost hitting his face. He eventually tells her to get in the car or he'll grope/R her right then and there. He gets more mad at her and drives off until he realize he just left his Nangfah on the streets bare-feet and all. He comes back for her, but she's no longer there. She walks some more until she get badly cut. She get help from a stranger and ask to use their cellphone, which she call P'Mor, who then bandage her. Once she gets back home, she take a shower and clean her bandage. She gets another visit from Charles, but this time he see she's bleeding from her bandage. He then ties her down with his belt so he can wrap her bandage over without her trying to hit him. The tenderness and care Charles shows when he is bandaging her soften Fahlada's heart a little bit. He eventually carries her to her bed, where he tries to grope/R her again, but this time they get interrupted by two phone calls, all from other guys, which put Charles in another one of his mood, which ends in him getting hit by the lamp by Fahlada.
Scene of Fahlada tied-up with Charles on the boat. This is after Fahlada has been told by P'Mor about Koh Min, Charles as SaiChon, etc. Fahlada, P'Mor, James and Mami goes to confront her sister, just before Prae is about to marry Charles, about everything and her sister plays the victim and admit the truth, but begs Fahlada for Charles because she'll die if she doesn't marry him. Fahlada complies to her sister begging plea because she love her sister very much. Charles confront Fahlada. She tells him she doesn't care if he's SaiChon or not. She leaves with James and James recognize that Fahlada trully loves Charles/SaiChon but doesn't admit it. They get it the car but James give the key to Charles and tell him to make Fahlada remember everything. Charles take Fahlada back to Koh Min and tries to re-live their memories again. They have nice and sweet moments here and there. Fahlada gain some memories, but there not complete. Prae finds out where they are and have Yasa kidnaps Fahlada from Charles all over again.
Scene of Charles grabbing Fahlada on bed. Fahlada tells Charles she'll do anything he wants as long as he leave her sister and her alone. He drags her to the Floating Market (Amphawa) and they spent a whole day there with him dragging her by the hand, like a couple, from one shop to the next. There's a scene where he orders something for them to eat, but she unwilling to eat it. Then her stomach starts growling and he tell her she eat can here and he'll go eat over there. They walk by a shop and he sees a necklace similar to one he gave Nangfah. He tells her to wear this and never take it off. He then takes her to a boat/canoe ride where he's doing the paddling. They get to see fireflies and he's able to catch one and bring it close to her face for her to see it. At the moment, Fahlada see the gentler side of Charles. He then tells her that they are going to stay there for the night and she get frighten about what he may do to her again. She calls her sister and lied she's staying over at a friend's place for night, who came to visit her. They get to a home stay/hotel where Fahlada is thinking something bad is going to happen to her, but Charles tell her not to worry he's TOO TIRED today. She tries to find things to hit him with -- one is too small, another is too big might cause him too severe of an injury. He eventually convince her to lay in bed with her weapon while he hold her from behind. They spent the whole night together with him holding her tight.
Game Rai Game Rak the Lakorn vs. Game Rai Pai Game Rak the Novel. I was on a Pantip post which discuss what happened to their son, Theeratape ธีรเทพ or affectionately called Taewada เทวดา, when Nangfah was taken back to the city. In the beginning Mami was looking after him until Prae sent more people to kill SaiChon and their son. When SaiChon decided to go to America, he also took their son with him. When he came back as Charles, their son was still in America until Charles brought him back to reunite their son with Nangfah except Fahlada didn't recognize her own son, which drove SaiChon even madder with hate. Fahlada also have an adopted son named Nong Toon น้องตูน, who had a Sixth Sense and was able to help Charles rescue Fahlada from being sold into the human trade. In the novel Fahlada died, but Nong Toon used his Sixth Sense and pull her back to life. At the end of the novel, Fahlada gave birth to twin daughters for SaiChon. Unlike the lakorn, Prae wasn't forgiven and she got back with P'Mor, but in the novel she lost her mind and got hit by a car and died instead. Also in the novel James was a white guy with blue eyes. One person mentioned on the post that the novel had lots of X-rated scenes between Charles and Fahlada, more than mentioned in the lakorn.
QUESTION: Why is it that viewers of Thai lakorn, internationally or domestic, prefer slap/kiss lakorns, especially those with extreme R-scene like Sawan Bieng? It comment to the society as a whole, especially when the majority of the viewers are females, that we are eagered to see these scenes, when the victims of such R-scenes are females. I think Thai lakorns has such a double-standard towards the characterization of what a female role should be and what a male role should be. Being that Thailand is a revered Buddhist culture, I would think the societal norm would reflect a better view of the female sex better than the object of a man's fustration, pain, sorrow or love, etc. even if it is done to someone they love. No matter what excuses a man may have to threat the woman they "LOVE" in such a way, does not make it acceptable. Because in the end, no matter how strong/smart a woman may be, a man will always have the upperhand (biologically) because he can always use this against a woman. But a woman do not have the same inherent choice.
Sorry for the LONG post, but I had a lot to say and I knew alot of answers to the majority of your questions. Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more. I've been following postings on Pantip and reading the Manager site synopsis for the lakorn. It's up to the last episode right now.
yay for good spoilers!!
