I'm watching this Lakorn to episode 4 already. I don't see any chemistry from Nadech and Mew. They are more like friends. I would say it's not as good as I was expecting this Lakorn to be. I was excited to see Nadech and Mew together when I saw the teaser. It seems interesting but guess not.

I don't think Mew matches the nang-ek role, but I'll keep watching anyway, since I like Nadech. Funny how the old pra-ek (Au Thanakorn) is now the father in this version. LOL.

This is one of those lakorns where you expected to much based on the teaser, and then ... flat disappointment. The chemistry is not really there which is really sad. I saw so much potential in the teaser, then it started airing and now... booo... Nadech is doing great, but can't say the same for Mew. They really should have picked someone who looked younger for Noona. Patricia would have probably been better lol.

the teaser looks good to me...very true If you go into watching it with high expectations, most likely you'll get disapointed...i'm wait til it's done to watch
 
 
I recently tried the Ch8 Mongrut stealing lakorn and its not bad ..pra'nang interactions were cute...0 expectation going in...actually really low expectation haha...saw a few teaser and it caught my eyes

It's slow cause they're trying to stretch out a 7-8 episodes story into something longer. But instead of making the pranang story meatier, they're doing it by spending time on pointless annoying characters.

But the ratings are doing really good. It's the highest of the bunch on air so far and it's beating the Ch7 competition. For eps 2 & 3 ratings are 7.0 and 6.6.

I actually liked Noona and I don't expect much romance to blossom. I looked forward to the father-daughter relationship so I guess I am fine by less Singh and Noona scenes together. I don't expect Noona to have eyes for anyone. She has only one goal and that is to get closer to her father and seeing her go tangent would be out of character. Anyways my comment is base on the first 2 episode only.

Today's episode was quite boring. I still like Nai Singh and Noona though. Feel bad for Noona, Na Ram is too hurt to accept her right now
Talk about poor timing on Noona's end. I guess the big to do in this show is waiting for Noona's real identity to surface. Not a huge fan of the story thus far, but the show does the smaller moments right - the scene where Noona confronts Na Ram (with picture in hand) about his child was so heart wrenching, because we know how much his acceptance means to her but to hear that he denies her existence instead is heart breaking. Also, I like how Nai Singh consoles Noona after learning that she is having a rough time with her father. Being soft and tender at just the perfect time when her world is falling apart- gotta love our hero. Would be interesting to see if Nai Singh figures out that Noona is Na Ram's daughter. I'm still watching.. and FF'ing :)

Same here. Still watching and FF-ing lol

The writer wants the audience to be aware of the illegal lumber trade so they mostly talk about the corruption. It gets boring. Yet, they manage to give us good pranang scenes.

New user here! Watched this lakorn because I recently got into the world of Thai dramas and got introduced to Nadech and Yaya. Hehe. I have to say, I love love love Nadech in this! He is so dreamy and a little bit slippery (when he got jealous of Noona's attention on Na Ram and swerved the lorry to show his unhappiness in ep 4. xD Amd when he helped her up the mountains and she fell into his arms and he smirked. Hahhaha.)

I loved Mew in Khun Chai Pawornruj of the Suparburoot Jutathep series and I love her here. It may be a little slow, but I actually like that she isn't interested in Nai Singh yet. Because her character is very focused on getting to know her dad and to her, everything else is secondary. To her, she just sees Nai Singh as a very strict boss. Hehe. Which is probably why most of you can't feel the chemistry. I guess the real test is when she starts falling for him and we shall see how they fare there. I like this lakorn!!

And shame on the rest of the characters for assuming there is something between Na Ram and Noona just because they got along! :p Why can't an older man and a younger woman have a platonic/mentor-mentee relationship?? Why won't people assume they are like father and daughter? I guess it has to be because Na Ram is too popular with the ladies that even a lot of younger women are hitting on him. xP But from what I see, their actions were very platonic! Love the father-daughter scenes!! And Nadech's (especially when he is jealous. Hehe) scenes!

Awwwww. I love episode 7!
 
After being ambushed by the baddies, Noona and Nai Singh escape into the woods. Hidden within the folds of the trees and the darkened night, Noona finally realizes that life is short and she ought to do everything in her power to make the most of it – i.e. do something for her dad! By this, I had hoped she meant telling him the truth, not wasting anymore time and spending whatever time she’s got left to cherish her father.
 
The danger also brought Noona closer to Nai Singh, she has started to take note of the rapid beating of her heart and just how irresistible Nai Singh is. Haha. I would enjoy myself too much (like her) after a night of resting on his chest. Gah.
 
The clock is ticking. Everything in this episode screams “faster faster.” I love how this show is picking up the pace, but teasing us just enough to leave us wanting more. Methinks Noona’s most important ally and biggest obstacle is Nai Singh. If she confessed to him that Na Ram is her father, I’m sure life would be so much easier! But then we wouldn’t get jealous Nai Singh, nor have the tension that’s been pulled for the first half of this series. Ah, just tell the man! Or better yet, tell Na Ram! There is no TIME like the present!
 
 
I’m a little nervous and excited about watching next week’s episodes. Shit is hitting the fan. YASS!

Does Na Ram know that Noona is his daughter; I was pretty positive that she didn't say it straight forwardly, she was just like what if I ask you to be my dad or What if someone comes and tells you they are your daughter?.

Na Ram still does not know.
 
In episode 6, Noona confronted him when he was too heartbroken to listen. He found out his beloved (exwife) is financially backing up and in love with the bad guy. Mind you, this is the woman he swore he would only love. So he’s furiously chopping wood (which no one in their right mind should approach a man taking his anger out on the wood).
 
But Noona. Her time at the farm is almost up, her grandfather threatened to come get her, prompting Noona to approach Na Ram. It’s now or never.
 
Na Ram: I’m not free. Talk later. (About to chop more wood, the muscle in his jaw, clenching.)
 
Noona: I have something VERY important to tell you.
 
Na Ram: I don’t want to talk right now. (Hacks the wood in half.)
 
Noona: Please look at this picture. (She offers the picture of her and Na Ram when she was little)
 
Na Ram turns and swipes her hand away.
 
Na Ram: I said next time! (He walks away)
 
Stunned, Noona follows.
 
Noona: But what I need to tell you has to do with your daughter! Na Ram, this picture –
 
Na Ram with his back turned to her: I don’t have a child! Whatever you’ve heard isn’t true. I’ve never had a child, never had a family – nothing!
 
At this point Noona is shaking her head, in disbelief. 
 
Noona: And what if there was a young girl who claims she is your daughter?
 
Na Ram: I would tell her that she’s nuts. I’ve never had a wife, how could I have had a daughter?
 
Noona’s lips tremble. She looks back at the picture.
 
Noona: What if I asked to be your daughter? Is that ok?
 
Na Ram’s lips curl in self-loathing: That is NOT OK.
 
He turns to look at her: Someone like me can’t take care of another person. I can’t offer protection, how can I be your father? You might be going through a tough time with your father, but what you’re doing doesn’t fix anything.
 
Tears are now streaming down her face.
 
Na Ram: I can’t be anyone’s father. I was born alone. I will die alone! Don’t ask me again.
 
He walks away, and barely made it to his front porch before he breaks down and cry.
 
But Noona doesn’t see this through her tears or her own heartbreak.
 
By episode 7, when Noona visits Na Ram at the hospital, and as he opens his eyes, he sees a blurry face calling him “dad..” He asked Noona if she had seen someone else in the room. And that’s where we left off!
 
I hope Noona finds the courage to actually say “Na Ram, I AM YOUR DAUGHTER,” instead of making hypothetical variations of the statement: “what if you had a daughter”, or “what if someone claims that she’s your daughter”.. or even, “can I ASK to be your daughter?”
 
Just go Darth Vader on Na Ram!

I thought Nah Ram figured it out from that conversation. Why else would he refuse to look at her picture if not because of denial? And why was he so harsh with her if he didn't know it was his kid and that she was trying to tell him that? But then in the hospital it seemed like he didn't know. He was also more worried about Singh than Noona so I guess he didn't. But it made him look dumb and the writing too.

I know it's not going to happen but I want Noona to pop up when the bad guys are trying to get her grandpa to be business partners with them and say, "Remember that time you sent people to kill me? Yeah Grandpa ain't gonna sign anything with you."

I think Na Ram lashing out at Noona simply came from a place of hurt. He was arguing against the "idea" of a daughter, not fully understanding that she was hinting that she's HIS daughter. He does not think very highly of himself. Also it's a little silly for Noona to test his acceptance by being ambiguous, but she too was afraid to get hurt. At the end of the day, both just cried a river and Na Ram still does not know that Noona is his daughter.
 
I think in many ways hinted throughout the series thus far, Noona does remind him of his little girl, the things she says and the stories she tells, but I don't think Na Ram would ever believe in a million years that his daughter was next to him all along. This guy does not believe in rainbows and butterflies anymore, nor does he believe he deserves it. So I don't think it is dumb writing, but that's just my two cents :)  Shoot straighter, Noona! It would be interesting to see his reaction when he finally learns that his daughter is Noona, a part of me thinks (hopes?) that it isn't a repeat of the meltdown.

I never saw the old version but am totally enjoying this. Mew doesn't look like any of the newbie nang'ek or even strike me as one but I think she is very cute and her acting is good so I don't mind her at all. nadech is just perfect to look at and he makes me smile like an idiot. lol totally crushing over him.
I hope to see noo na and nai singhs relationship develop a little more. you can totally tell that nai Singh is crushing on noo na and I find it so cute!
