9/10 Rating from me. I loved everything about the lakorn from the OST, the cast to the scenery. I like the use of elephants. I like that p'ek wasn't just some prim and proper nobleman but he was everything. He was poor, he was rich, he was rugged but he survived it all. I like that n'ek was honest, loyal and compassionate. As someone mentioned, Matt became Lamduan. She did a wonderful job portraying a woman of strong values, great honor and dignity. James did amazingly for his 2nd lakorn. The only thing I can say he needs improvement in is when he was professing his love, he kept moving his eyebrows. You can tell he was trying his best to recite his script Lol so cute. It must have been one of the earliest scenes they filmed because he did fine in his other lovey-dovey scenes. I was very glad that Haym & Lamduan's relationship never had a "stupid moment". I've never once felt frustrated with either of them. The are the best pairings onscreen couple in a while. Khun P'Haym & Lamduan will have a special place in my heart.
I knew that Haym was going to pretend to die and live a normal life. I usually hate that kind of twist, especially after all he's been through to get to his level but it goes to show that status isn't everything. Being able to be with the person you love through happiness and hardships, is what matters.
This isn't a perfect 10/10 because I think that the criminals (Louang Salahart and his henchman) should have died last week. Their dragged out scenes and escaping freely each time, makes no sense. I don't know why they did it like that, but I guess it plays into the storyline. I was also sad that Haym & Lamduan were never "husband & wife" around her parents. After her wedding her parents left out of the city already.
sidenote for Bua: I am so glad she came around. SHE STILL had to ask Haym if he didn't think a little more of her in the end, but I guess she really wanted to know if she had a slight chance. I can't fully trust her, but happy that she decided to go live with Moam instead of tagging along with Lamduan & Haym. It looked like her and Khun Inn might have a chance together again, but I guess we'll never know. Plus, we didn't see her enter the nunnery? Oh wells.
I will miss Kha Bordin :cry:
