I don't even think it's how the story is written. Lol. It's how the characters are being portrayed by the actors. I've seen this same storyline get redone over and over again by different actors, but they didn't come out as awkward. I love how Nakin constantly grabs Tawan and gives her kisses, but it's a turn off when Janie constantly has the deer caught in the headlights look. Lol. Shouldn't she be blushing at least? Nakin's character kind of reminds me of Krao from Roy Leh Sanae Luang played by Weir. His character in there was bipolar too. Weir said so himself that he had a difficult time portraying his character that's why the lakorn itself was so bad. The script, directing, and acting were horrible in there. I guess a revengeful character is difficult to portray. That's why if we had more skilled actors, it'd come out smoother? In this case, I think the script is fine, but the acting isn't up to par.
But I think that's how Janie was supposed to act, which is why I'm blaming the script or the characters because I'm pretty sure Janie knows how to act shy, but instead her character always gives the "WTF" look. If her expressions were wrong, the director could have been like, "you're look is wrong do a different/softer/shy look". However, I don't think her expressions were wrong either because why wouldn't she act like that towards Dome when he becomes nice one moment, weird, and all touchy. The two problems that they had trouble writing with was show how her character decides to accept Dome and she had too many "WTF" moments even though we are supposed to believe that at this time she is drawn to/likes him. Poor girl was pretty scared of him these past two episodes, but she finally gave it to him
.
Janie's character Tawan is slightly different from her Mootha's character in RN because Mootha didn't intend to sleep with her man and he practically raped her the first time, but because she really loved him she always gave in and acknowledge him even though they mainly end up in bed. The similarities that they both have are being nice, naive, and slow; however, I understand Mootha's actions even though she comes off as weak, but it's hard to understand Duern because of her always "WTF" reaction to Dome's character even though she kinds of understands his bad intentions, thus I believe the problem lies with the characters and script being written plus lack of acting from Dome.
In Weir's lakorn, I thought he did good, but he needs to tone down his expression because he does come off as a psycho wanting to kill someone so bad; however, I thought the one that acted so bad was Mai, and for sure I did not like the storyline/script for that lakorn. Revenge lakorn are usually bad that's what I think, we just stick around and watch it to see where it heads off to.
