False promotion, I guess. Lol. Or sometimes even actors can misinterpret their own projects. Mint said PLR would be fun, look how that turned out. Huhu.
I actually love Ploykwan as much as I love Singh--and I love Singh a lot. It's too bad his role seems to be minor compared to the other three pranangs since his main purpose seems to be more a source of emotional support for Ploykwan.
On Petroong-Ploykwan, I must say that I'm actually surprised how each of their personalities turned out. Watching the teasers, I expected the love triangle to play a bigger part in the story, but it's actually more of a very small, side story. I also expected Ploykwan to be the "annoying one", to basically butt in and be a third wheel in Seur and Petroong's love, but it hasn't happened yet and none of her actions were geared toward that aim. If anything, Petroong was actually the one to butt in between Ploykwan and Seur first for a brief moment in ep 3. I think the teaser played a large part in creating certain preconceived expectations.
Honestly, I would not be able to like Ploykwan if she turned on her sister just because of a guy. I hate it when friends or siblings turn on each other just because they're competing for the same love interest.
It's a good thing the love triangle dilemma for Seur and Singh was also very brief and kept to a minimum. Immediately after their fist fight, they still remained good friends.
I think eventually, Ploykwan will realize that she actually doesn't love Seur. From what I gather, subconsciously, Ploykwan feels a sort of bond with him because they are related by blood. She also views Petroong as a competition because she has an inferiority complex that was more than likely developed since childhood. You can tell from the first episode and then in ep. 8 when she embraced Singh's comfort simply b/c he told her she will always be his number one. Seur's feelings alone or lack of feelings for her isn't the real source of her insecurity. The big troubles that she gets herself into has nothing to do with seeking his affections.
On the other hand, Seur's affections matter a lot to Phetroong. A lot of the mistakes and offenses she makes revolves around his actions or perceived actions. One evidence is when she fired him out of an impulse of jealousy. She didn't take the time to accurately gauge the situation and claimed she fired Seur b/c he was flirting with Ploykwan. Yet, when Ploykwan had to explain how irrational Phetroong's decision was and basically alluded to Singh being the guy who was making moves on her and not Seur, it still didn't change Phetroong's focus from Seur to Singh. This is actually what distinguishes the Roong-Seur pair and Kwan-Singh pair. The former's in denial while the later is always honest about their feelings. Koo neung, pak mai throng gub jai, eek koo, ruk gaw bok wa ruk, glied gaw bok wa glied.
And actually, there are many other instances that indicate to me Phetroong's not emotionally equipped to be a leader. But the burden and pressure were only thrown at her because her father left in such an urgent fashion.
On the actors themselves, if I have to comment on only one, it'd be Pope. I'm glad he's with Channel 3. He hasn't taken on any full-status pra-aek roles, but somehow, he's managed to capture the hearts of many viewers. I've watched a few clips from Doks Som See Thong, Buang, and Game Rai Game Ruk, and I must say, I'm really enthralled. I didn't expect to see an actor who is capable of giving that soft, indescribably adoring gaze to their nang aeks. Just the way he looks at them, it gives you the feeling that he really appreciates their touches. Lol. I thought only Ken was capable of that.
Anyways. This is totally counter-intuitive considering I had so much to say, (but then I usually always have a lot to say) but OVERALL, I think Tawan Deard can be pretty boring.
