There was a lakorn version before the musical. I don't remember everyone in it, just Yui Patamawan as Parnwad. I liked Yui and the story was so disturbing it stuck. I think Sorrapong was Guer. I have a vague image of Parnroong in my mind but I don't know her name or recall what else she's been in.
I tuned in this week thinking it was the end but nope. I love Aom and she's still an awesome actress but I'm not going to go back and watch the entire thing. Parnwad's story is too much for me. I did catch the episode where her dad found her while my mom was watching.
Here's my problem with the story. I think the writer want to say everyone got their just desserts or karma but I don't think that's true at all. They just went too far with Wad. She did a similar thing to her mom that Roong did to her own mom. But Roong got 2 husbands who love her unconditionally, 4 kids-one of which might as well be a saint, wealth and a successful career. She gets to live to old age with people that loves her, in comfort. She gets a hundred chances for everytime she messed up. Yes she had difficult times and hardships but she got good things too.
What did Wad get? Drug addiction, forced into sexual slavery, committed incest and went crazy. She messed up and her life is over. Where's her second chance? And Roong is so much worse than Wad. Even Parnthep got a second chance. They used her kids as tools to punish Roong because a mother's pain is so great? Ok yeah she's paying alright by seeing her kids suffer but what about the personal pain of the kids? It doesn't count cause they have to pay for their own sins and the sins of their parents?
When Wad didn't go back with her dad, my mom was like what a dumb ass and horrible person. I was like really mom? This chick is so messed up, so ashamed of herself and full of self-hatred she rather continue to be a sex slave and get beat up daily than face her family. That is pretty tragic and effed up. When has Roong ever felt that much shame or self-hatred for the bad things she's done? Never. At most she feels is regret. She doesn't even understand the pain she caused her friend, Ya or get that she did anything wrong there. And I don't think she understands how much she's wronged her kid, Prok either. I watched like a total of 4 episodes but has she ever sincerely apologized to anyone? Besides to that picture of her mom where she throws in a large dose of whining?
The other thing that annoys me is Guer. No Guer is not a nice guy. He's just a doormat. But this is a general problem in lakorns. Somehow nice=dumb and weak. You can be a nice righteous person without letting anyone take advantage of you. He rather lick Roong's boots than stand up for his own kid. He's a prime minister, her ex, and he's still calling this chick Khun Noo? Give me a break.
I think both Ya and Guer are examples of what not to do. Too extreme in opposite directions. Ya was so insane she destroyed her own kid. And Guer is an enabling doormat that left his kid to a neglectful bitch of a mom.
