I haven't touched a Ch.7 lakorn for the longest time. I've watched so many Ch.3 lakorns that I've neglected Ch.7. I can't remember the last time I saw a lakorn from Ch.7; it was probably sometime when Kob was still reigning. Anyway, here are just some of my thoughts about Pin Anong (be prepared).
First off, why did they title this lakorn after the nang'eks name? I know that Pin was popular among the boys, but this story revolved around Yai. I understand if they named this lakorn PA due to the fact that our Yai was in love with her, which would explain some of his actions in the beginning, but no where in the very beginning did I feel like Yai was actually in love with Pin. They did many flashbacks of Pin and Yai's childhood, but it didn't seem like Yai fell in love with Pin at all. Perhaps he did, but as a viewer I just didn't feel like Yai loved Pin as a kid. I don't see where Pin started to love Yai either.
Second of all, I like the storyline. It's very dense and complicated - just my taste. Although, there are some flaws in the script. The script contained parts that were VERY redundant. It was to the point I wanted to kick my laptop screen, but of course I didn't. If I did, I wouldn't get to finish this lakorn! Haha. I didn't like that so many characters were killed off, it was unnecessary. Another aspect that was unnecessary were the lovey dovey scenes between Yai and Pin. I felt like they added those scenes just to lure in viewers. I'll admit, at first I wanted to watch PA because I wanted to see how well Weir and Min pulled those lovey dovey scenes, but as I watched on I kind of felt like those kissing scenes were unnecessary. I liked the intensity during the action scenes, but the fighting sequences were funny. Haha. I give 'em props though. The one thing that this script lacked a bit was closure. What happened to them fighting the cases lawfully? What happened to finding justice? (Nai Krongsook's death is not enough to kill the case, right?) What happened to the father's will that was the talk towards the end? What about Yai and his father's relationship? They could've made Yai go to his father's burial ground and ask for forgiveness or something of that sort. I was anticipating some court scene and some exciting revelation/verdict, BUT what do I get, nothing.
Finally, I like the cast. I love Toey!! I've admired her since the first time I saw a glimpse of her in a video a couple years ago, I believe it was one of her lakorns. I didn't know her name and was quite pleasantly surprise to see her in here. Now I know her name is Toey and she still acts! Hem is sooo, he's so dayum fine. I was totally in love with him and his character in the beginning because Yai was a jerk at that time. He seems like an athletic man and that's what I want to see in my man. Haha. I like Au and Kratip too. They were sort of the comic reliefs for this lakorn and I enjoyed watching them. As for the pra'nang, I didn't like them at first, but they're growing on me. Min is really pretty and I would like to see her try a new role, something that would be completely opposite of the nice, gentle, Pin. I wouldn't mind seeing her be a strong-headed yet clumsy-looking nang'ek haha. I'm starting to really like Weir. He's so darn MACHO in this lakorn that I just can't resist his charm. I like my man to be macho and Weir would be a great example, besides Hem. Haha. Big body, nice haircut, my taste of fashion...yummy. I'd also just like to comment briefly on the actor who played Parn's dad, he's handsome for an older gentleman. Haha. Hey, seriously he's pretty macho too.
Overall, I'll give this lakorn an 8.5/10 for keeping me hooked and for not messing with the wardrobe! I'm so glad that they didn't have the pra'ek where TIGHT jeans! Tight jeans are a turn off for me. Yai wore them a little in the beginning as the barbaric Yai. I liked the barbaric style, but I also liked the handsome Yai wardrobe haha.
Okay, enough of me. Wow, I wrote an essay. Sorry ya'll. I'm actually quite surprise there aren't THAT many pages for this lakorn in here...oh well, Pin Anong rocks!
