I loved this lakorn, last Kwan lakorn I watched was Kerd Phen Hong and everything else after that wasn't appealing. Missed watching Kwan, she used to be one of my favorites. As for Om, the last lakorn I saw of his was Bundai Dok Rak I think, or was it Tawee Pope, whatever.
When a ch7 lakorn is 16 episodes long, you really don't want to nitpick anything too much because it's such a rarity. Sure Rach was kind of a d**k but I think I was too in love with Om himself to really care too much. I'm not going to call him out on sleeping with Chidchamai either, Rach is a dude, no dude is going to spend his entire life without sex even though he has someone he truly loved. Let's be realistic here, love is love but nature is also nature. I believe that he truly did love Laor but he really had no access to her. One, he didn't want to see his mother or stepfather, two, kind of defeats the purpose of his revenge, three, Laor will definitely try to talk him out of it. Therefore he was lonely, Chalinee was accessible to him and he fell in love or maybe it was just to fix the void in his heart.
At times I kind of wanted to strangle Laor because she wouldn't stay put. P'ek getting shot two times in order to save n'ek is a bit much especially since she could have prevented it. Then again it lead to cute filler scenes with p'ek and n'ek getting some sweet time. Other than that, I liked Laor, she didn't become a frustrating n'ek who gets mad at p'ek for hiding the truth from her even though she already knew (those n'eks are the worst). Laor seemed to love Pak the whole entire lakorn despite everything.
Pakorn, as much of a d-bag he is, he truly loved Seepai. Even though initally it was a fling that had no future, he really fell in love with her sweet nature and dedication to him. The fact that he never really left Seepai, even though she was just a backup at one point and taking responsibility for her made him forgivable.
Khun Kawee, I guess the biggest hole here is him being so fast to accept Pak. All these years he has nothing but hate and prejudice towards him and all of a sudden after going to the temple for a short period of time (not to meditate but just to live there) and he was quick to loving Pak. I guess seeing peace with his own eyes might have changed him but I would have at least liked to see a struggle to accept Pak and eventually Pak's inner goodness might have changed him.
Ultimately I wonder what truly changed Pak, was it his uncle's forgiveness note, losing Laor, or his mother's condition, because it all seemed very rapid for Pak to become such a giving person after all that pent-up grudging. Despite the plot holes, I enjoyed watching Om and Kwan together. They had such great chemistry that I actually wanted to watch Jao Sao Salatan but it's a 22 episode lakorn and I don't have the time to watch all that dragging. Om has great charisma onscreen and he's really attractive here, love the scene where he holds the guns (so heroic!) however he needs to work out, dude has no muscles at all. Saranyu's a pretty good director, love the way this was filmed, I'm tempted to watch the Sam and Mam lakorn he directed but that one looks so depressing.
