The show is over and this thread has been moved to the "old lakorn section." How sad. Before reading, this is going to be a long post, consisting of my overall thoughts on the lakorn as a whole as well as the final episode.
This lakorn started out so good, but sadly the last couple of episodes fell short in its execution, the final especially. It felt rushed, and as I predicted we only had 10 minutes plus of our couple happy ever after at the very end of the lakorn. I'm a little disappointed in that. We didn't even get to see the wedding. I definitely think the lakorn should have stayed true to its 14 episodes instead of cutting it down to 12. Things were moving so fast that, I , for a moment lost trace of what was happening. It's really a shame though because throughout the lakorn the pacing was done right. Nothing was rushed, nothing felt dragged. The pace of the story was quite perfect, but the ending is a disappointment.
I just have to talk about Ah Jo's death. Was it necessary? What's the purpose of his death? Of course I was emo when he got shot with the lingering teddy bear next to him, and the video message....
Why show, why? If his death is served as an attempt to abduct Fahsai, then I think it's a waste. Tian Kong could have knock him unconscious and took Fahsai away. Did think really have to killed him off for the mere purpose of Fahsai's abduction? I just don't see the logic in his death. I was expecting his death to be a big turning point in the gang, maybe Daniel will finally take action and truly start to fight "fight" for justice, but no. Daniel didn't even show any sign of concern or sadness (okay maybe a little but it wasn't long enough), he followed it up with asking where's Fahsai, and I know Fahsai is forever his number one concern and priority but still, Show give Ah Jo some spotlights and Daniel, he's your freakin brother that would die for you, well in this case he died for your woman. At least give him a tear or something??? He freakin got killed but yet no one seems to care??? Like what the hell??? Again two more episodes would've given us some appropriate grieves for the deserving one.
My thought on Mor Kwan. To be honest, I did felt sad for her when Daniel ditched her lol. Even though I don't like her, but I don't hate her. She certainly isn't the worst nang'rai I've seen in a lakorn. I've seen worst. I guess her occupation as a doctor does helped her image a little, and I'm glad she doesn't use her profession to harm others. But I also feel like her character has been wasted too. They tried to make her character somewhat redeemable in the end, but the whole episode was rushed that the significance in her change didn't click to me. The actress that played Mor Kwan cries beautiful and is quite an actress herself, so it's sad that her character felt underwritten.
Chenming. Well I did like his sudden appearance during the rain fight. He was cool, other than that his appearance in the last episode was manicured. I'm still quite sad that they never told him about what his brother did to Botan. I wanted him to know. I wanted to see him breaking down with guilt and depressed, but nope we got nothing. Botan in the end of the lakorn felt like a sided character only, even though Pim plays her lol. I have to say I do appreciate the less emphasis on Botan because it helps me root for Daniel and Fahsai without worries and uncertainties, so on that part I give the Show a thumbs up
because when it comes to show where the ex-lover and the current lover look alike, there's this uncertainty on whether the p'ek truly loves the n'ek for who she is, or because she looks like a past lover. I'm glad the Show has stated clearly that Daniel loves Fahsai for who she is, not because she resembles his past lover. I like the little talk between Chenming and Daniel, when he brought up the idea of who Daniel would love more if Botan was still alive. I like his response to the question. He didn't side with neither, he simply answered truthfully that if Botan is still alive he wouldn't have met Fahsai. I guess in a way it's true, but the unpredictable is still unpredictable.
As for our lovely otp. Well the last three episodes, I was so disappointed in Daniel that I just want Fahsai to just ditch him lol, but my girl is too in love....sighs. I hate his reason for pushing her away, and I hated that he kept on making my girl cries. He was so perfect in the beginning. What happened? I sort of know the reason but still I don't think it was the right reason. He was selfish towards love, which makes me mad because he's selfless when it comes to his gang and his brothers. Why can't he do the same for Fahsai? The woman he claimed he loves. However, I do appreciate a character like Fahsai. Naturally nice, but can be feisty when needed. Doesn't hide her feelings for the one she loves. When she felt like something was wrong with Daniel, she asks and gets to the bottom of the truth even if it hurts. She too thinks of others before her, but she doesn't shy away from her own benefits as well. Something Daniel needs to learn from. I guess I can say I have a love and hate relationship with Daniel and Fahsai's relationship, but overall I enjoyed their cuteness and gentle love. It also doesn't help that Mick and Pim are so visually compatible with one another. I've mentioned this so many times, but their height differences is the best thing about them. I do hope to see them again in another project. It's going to be a waste to not pair them together again. The chemistry was real and the acting was match well. Overall their love was lovely.
This lakorn came out of nowhere and has made such a huge impact in me. I enjoyed it sooo much more than I thought I would. It gave me the opportunity to get to know Mick, Pim, Boom, Mek, and etc. I have finally found a ch7 bias in Mick lol, which means I will most likely watch more ch7 lakorn in the future. And I have my eyes on Pim as well, will certainly check out her work in the future too.
Even though I'm complaining but I did indeed enjoyed this lakorn a lot and it's definitely in my top 5 favorites lakorn. And the ending with a glimpse to a possible part 2 to the story of Cheming makes me even happier. And to put it out there, Boom has to be Chenming. No one else. Mick and Pim as Daniel and Fahsai only! No one else. And someone mentioned that the girl, which we only see her eyes lol looks like Pim and I hope not. Botan and Fahsai looking alike is enough we don't need a third lol. Pim as Fahsai is forever for Mick as Daniel. Please give Chenming someone new and fresh to start his new life. That's all I'm asking for.
Whenever I watch this lakorn and see Mick I think of this....
Fahsai is me...lol...are you satisfied Mr. Giant?
Well I had a great time reading everyone thoughts and opinions and of course sharing my own thoughts and opinions with everyone as well. Hopefully we'll see each other again when part 2 comes out (hoping it will), until then I'll see you guys around
