Wow, I hope you don't mind my responding but I can't help passing on an opportunity to discuss this lakorn with…
Yeah, I do agree with you on lots of your points. Especially the point of the cultures and stuff. It is true that Thai people in a lot of their dramas like to do the forgive and you will get good luck or stuff like that. However, the forgiving part sometimes gets to me because it's like they could forgive even the worst kind of treatment or such and such, like killing someone or destroying someone's life and stuff. I sometimes find it hard to believe that some can be forgiven just like that in the Thai dramas too.
A lot of people say that Penny was an annoying character and that her hate for Nok was stupid, but if you think about it, it kind of does make sense. Think about it, you mother cares so much about a stranger's daughter that (I would assume) she doesn't have time for you. You are put down as a servent's daughter and is told by your own mother that you are a servant. Even when you get your own job and stuff, people say that you are dirty or not good because the job you do is like a prostitute or stuff like that. Now I'm not saying that she wasn't crazy in her own way. The kidnapping was a bit extreme, and stuff. She wasn't the best person and you could say she had anger issues and a lot of problems. And also, for real now, she had a job, a place to stay, and was supporting herself fine, but she just kept on trying to mess up other people's life. Like girl why you keep on trying to get into that cycle of hate here when you are doing good in your life? When I think about it, Penny's anger issues might have began with her mother though. Just saying.
To be honest, when Rasa was talking to Chanon about his mother, I kind of disagreed with her. The mother had an affair, left her husband and children for twenty years, and then just suddenly shows up again and expects them to forgive her like that and start over anew? I got where Chanon was coming from but couldn't really understand where Rasa was coming from. Just because she repented, everything should be forgiven just like that? If you think about it Chanon and his brother were left for twenty years without a mother and that must have brought some kind of psychological trauma, especially for Chanon. It didn't really seem that Rasa was seeing the point of views from Chanon's side, but just kept on seeing the point of view from the latter, which she connects to with more. When I was watching their conversation at the restaurant, it kind of just brought me down. Also when you think about it, it might even seem that no one really saw things from Chanon's eyes.
Another thing I got to say is that I'm starting to not understand Rasa's resolve. At first, she says she doesn't want the guy to accept her as his child but only wants him to ask her mother for forgiveness. But then it seems like she is starting to want the guy to accept her as his child and her mom. It's so hard to understand her thinking when it seems like she's going back and forth.
If I were to compare this to Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat, I would say that Nueng Dao Fah Diew made a deeper impression on me. Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat was more of a light-hearted drama in my opinion. It didn't have as much conflict and scenes that would make you worry about the characters. NDFD had a good plot and the beginning was different from many others. NDFD, in my opinion, had ups and downs and had parts that made your heart ache for the characters, either main or supporting.
I didn't like the main guy nor girl. The main was kind of pathetic and a creeper. The main girl, will I really don't know how to explain her character but she just seemed quite dumb and stupid to me. I can't believe she fell in love with him. He kidnapped her, was really rude and mean to her, was so obsessive, and just plain annoying. I actually didn't finish watching it either because the plot was confusing. But then again, I skipped through it a lot and I did skip some episodes because some of them seemed kind of boring. Another reason why I didn't like the main guy was because there was this one part I think ( but I'm not so sure), where he threatened to send the main girl's sister back to somewhere and stuff. The main girl was also standing right next to him too but I'm not sure if she said anything. But yeah, he was acting all high and mighty and sh** that it was annoying. I know the sister probably did some really bad things to the main girl, but that threatening thing just made me hate the main leads. It was just like what the f***?
