@AnnTfan, which channel of eng subs are you watching GRGR through? My copy of Wishy's subs are 21 eps, but because this lakorn was aired during the floods, each episode were cut and alot shorter than normal, so the version you watched might've compressed everything into 16eps.
I also realised i didnt leave a comment on this despite watching and catching the grgr fever back 2011. Wow it has been that long since i've followed these 2 and it js feels like yesterday hheeh. I js recently rewatched this (hence the siggy heh), so reading your comment AnnTfan, kinda makes teary cos everything is still so fresh in my mind. Every time I watch, it always amazes me how yadech being so young and so inexperienced back then, could portray such strong and powerful love like that, their intense hugs, their last few grasps of each other before being separated from Min Island gets me every time. I dare to say that, it's even hard for a veteran actor to portray this kind of intense it let alone from 2 very new actors. From my unbias views, I think the 2 portrayed their four characters pretty well, I would elaborate but it would ended up in an essay lol im sure no one wants to read that.
Like what you said and it has always been my major problem with grgr, is that I wish they could slowly let nangfah remember things, we got to see glimpses of it at the beginning, how she was getting dreams of this unknown man and how she felt belonged to him, but pity they didnt develop more on that, I think it would make it so complete if they could elaborate on that, not js bam she's js starts to remember everything at the end. They kinda were too focused and delved on Charles' revenge and lost the plot a little, alot has got to do with the rush editing, and they had to cut lots and lots of scenes, especially the island scenes. What a shame, I LOOOOOOVE the scenes on the island, they were simply beautiful and unforgettable, I could watch it all day lol.
