haha...supposedly, tep sung wahn is the old version of manee nopa gaew...but i haven't seen manee nopa gaew, so i can't really tell ya if it is consistent or not. sorrrry.
but let me see here, it's been a while since i've seen tep sung wahn, so this'll be the gist of the story.
a god and goddess falls in love when they are not suppose to, the goddess becomes pregnant, and must take the child to live on earth as punishment (or something like that).
ok , but this is where it gets a little fuzzy...umm, let me see...the two gods are worried about their child so they give the child over to an "ahsoon" (which is like a giant/demon thing) who lives in the underworld.
oh wait! or did they put the baby in a royal palace as the king and queens "foster" child but then baby grows a little and ends up with the ahsoon? hmmm, ok, anyways, with the child, the two gods left a magic necklace/chain thing that goes across the body (you know, so that, when the kid grows up, he'll be able to have powers and protect himself and stuff).
moreover, ahsoon is obedient to the two gods at first, but later he decides, he wants power and also to have all his little ahsoon "lackeys" roam the earth and kill people. he decides to tell the kid (manee daeng) that his real parents were gods who didn't want him, so they threw him down to earth to live alone. in the meanwhile, the two gods are forbidden to have anything to do with manee daeng, so they can only watch from above and live in torture, etc.
oh, i think i remember now, manee daeng
was put in the royal palace as a baby and was to be protected by ahsoon. manee daeng goes to live with ahsoon in the underworld after the king and queen had their own child (which is the pra'ek). manee daeng was jealous of his "brother" so he had ahsoon go out and disturb the land (but that was already happening before the pra'ek was born, cuz manee daeng was a bad little kid...
but really, he just wanted to be loved.
in the underworld, their is a statue of mznee daeng's "real" mom; the goddess. he talks to the statue a lot, but never gets a response. on top of that, ahsoon keeps telling him bad things, so he turns more evil and gets more he angry.
as for the pra'ek, i just remember bits and pieces about how he ends up with his necklace/chain thingy. i remember he died, and his mom (the queen) was devastated so she goes to become a "nun" in a cave/forest. the pra'ek is somehow brought back to life, and two other gods (the ones who warned manee daeng's parents from the beginning that they cannot be together) helps the pra'ek and gives him a necklace/chain thing of his own.
nahkee is the nang'ek and is the princess of the sea dragons (in the ocean). i forget why she comes up to earth, but yeah, she meets the pra'ek and stuff and they fall for each other or something. i think manee daeng falls for her too or has another girl he likes...whatever, i don't remember.
all i remember is that manee daeng dies in the end...he remorses in his death.
that's what i got for ya. hehehe hope it's good for something. lol
