Aww don't be! People may see me every now and then online but I'm just more of an 'offline' person, social media is not really my thing. I'm not even on facebook lol, abandoned it ages ago hehe. Anyway, you will have great fun with Moonlight's cult I'm sure :)

Nice one! I'm too ancient to join such a cult lol but I support the idea and will cheer you on :)

That sounds about right hehe

It’s nice to see that some people are mindful and make an effort like you do, and thanks for the explanation. At first I thought tags were to be created and managed by Admin then having learned that we viewers could vote, I’ve tried it myself but unfortunately my account is new so not allowed. Maybe some viewers are like me which is probably one of the reasons why the tag is in the minority. I don’t mind spoilers, I read them all the time as I always need a heads-up on possible triggers or things not to my liking so generally I’m fine but thanks for the suggestion :). My concern was more about others who rely heavily on tags/trigger warnings. I guess I am just a little more sensitive as I have some friends with PTSD - it does raise your sense of awareness and responsibility.

I've lost count of the number of times I've rewatched their scenes. One of my happy places :)

Well said. I see quite a number of people supporting Bua-Krating pairing (not just in this lakorn) so perhaps one of the reasons the writer(s) gave us such an ending where Wat and Kul even got married was some sort of fan service? I think it'd have made more sense if Wat and Kul were still in the dating stage by the end of the lakorn. That's still a happy ending, and wouldn't feel a bit forced or rushed.
PS. I haven't watched Praomook and don't plan to. Read some reviews/comments and I am quite sure it's just not for me :).

Still wondering why 'attempted sexual assault' is not one of the tags. It's a serious trigger for many people, no kidding. I'm sure many oppose the idea and avoid lakorns with the kind of pairing where guy attempts to rape girl. If there is no warning and if those viewers are not ones who read spoilers, they won't know what they're getting into. I'm talking about people who can be triggered, not just the ones who are simply not OK with it. Same goes for suicide attempt (as a trigger).

Fair enough. All in all it comes down to being with the right one and compatibility I guess. It goes without saying that love and relationships are complicated, there can’t be a one-size-fits-all view when it comes to that and we can never say anything for certain when we love someone. So, of course there is no benchmark for when you can move on, a day, a month, a year or never, it’s entirely your feelings and your choice. I was just saying it seemed a bit out of character for Kul to move on that fast. But then you gave some fair points so I’ll give her that, but well, like I said, I just can’t relate. Obviously, different views, different feelings :).

I didn’t oppose the idea of a bad boy turning good. Generally it’s the opposite. But not this, not with Wat, even though I enjoyed Krating’s acting, some of Wat’s cute moments with Kul, as well as his new bond with Tet. I mentioned often enough I skipped some of his scenes so I might have missed some things and so failed to see the gradual changes you pointed out, but the final episode still gave me the impression that he’s only nice to Kul, or when Kul’s with him - which actually made sense given such a short period of time, his feelings for her, their relationship and all - people need time to change, a few months won't give you a new man (edit: only if body swap happened lol). But that’s also to say why I wasn't really convinced of the better version of Wat and of Wat-Kul's love - it felt rushed. I was hoping to see something more convincing to show us Wat really was a changed man, not just to Kul, but to everyone else around him. But I guess with only few episodes for redemption, I can't be too fussy. And I think that was perhaps why the writer(s) decided to give more lines than necessary to some characters in the finale to justify certain choices and decisions. Wild guess, I know.

Being one who values forgiveness, I appreciate the strong message delivered throughout this lakorn, which is exactly that, forgiveness. But if I’m honest, it still felt a bit forced to me, not just about Kul, but also about the boys forgiving their dads, I wasn’t fully convinced by how quickly the air was cleared. Wat’s initial reluctance made more sense to me. But it’s a lakorn, and a lot was packed in 16 episodes, so though it’s far from perfect, it’s still nicely done.

Too many buts, but (again LOL) with all that said, I loved this lakorn. And I was given the ending I expected, what more could I ask for? :)

Yay! I loved it that they switched roles and Tet took charge behind closed doors lol. What a breath of fresh air.

No problem :)

She ends up with Wat (in Tet's body).

Unfortunately, though I respect everyone's views and think Bua has done a great job, I can't relate to Kul. I'd never be with a man who attempted to rape me and was a serial cheater, not to mention his unlawful deeds in the past. No respect for women and no respect for the law. Yes people can say Wat was just a broken man, that he has changed. Now, talk about love and forgiveness. Let's say you could forgive him in the name of love, because well, he's a changed man thanks to you, and well, water under the bridge, I think for any smart and sensible girl, it'd take a very long time, surely much longer than a few months, until she could trust and be in a relationship with him, let alone getting married to him.

Also, it was great Kul moved on fast (I mean it cause I'm the same, not in the sense of quickly jumping into another relationship though) but I think it still appeared to be a bit out of character for Kul to be heartbroken and crying one day and then entering a new relationship the next day. Tet's overcaring and clingy behavior was a dealbreaker for her yet she was fine with a man once sexually assaulted her, who did drugs and more. The word 'undeserving' is subjective I guess.

Again people can say it's because she's found the right man for her and all is in the past. Well then. But really sorry to say it doesn't seem to me that Kul is that smart or sensible after all.

I honestly didn't mean any offence, so, sorry if I came across as such, just wanted to share my thoughts.

Don't get me wrong, I see no problem with you voicing your opinions and concerns. In fact I love it when someone is passionate about what they believe in and does something to defend it. So I get it. I knew you meant well.

I skipped quite a few of Wat's scenes because I was so annoyed and really couldn't stand him in the beginning, a bit less now but I might not have a full picture of his character so I really can't say much. But like I mentioned somewhere before, he was really bad, consistently bad, and that's probably an understatement. Yes he's changing and learning to be a better person but in reality, I don't think people can change that fast and should serve time in jail for their unlawful deeds. I doubt that'll happen to Wat though, he'll be free and have a happy ending with Kul and his new family.

Seriously I miss Ginney and Tet's lovey dovey scenes so much :(. I hope they'll give us more in the final episodes or in the finale at least now that Tet and Kul broke up and the air is cleared between them. I just can't have enough of Alek and Namtarn's screen time together.

Just to let you know I gave myself a pat on the back, and I'm happy to have your 100.01% respect lol.

I understand your frustration. You know already I adore Ginney and Tet together. Kul and Wat? Not so much, admittedly I skipped some of their scenes and I hated Wat for the most part (the character, not the actor - Krating is doing a great job). But I think to each their own, I'm honestly fine with others' takes and choices, albeit different from mine :)

I think it’s obvious Ginney loves Tet for who he is and is fine with him switching back. That’s why she’s been helping him do that with all she could, even went out of her way several times. The only time she expressed her wish for him to remain who he was as Tet in Wat’s body was when she first discovered the truth and realised she’d already fallen in love with the new Wat (aka Tet), and so it made sense she would want that then. But that’s the only time. As we can see in Ep.13, she was excited for Tet when they were announcing on the news the blood moon was about to happen soon.

Though I understand your point, that you love someone for who they are on the inside, I think the outside plays a certain role too, not because of how attractive or unattractive someone is, but it’s the face, the body you fell in love and have become familiar with. So though you don’t care about their looks, and if for some reason their appearance changes or is ruined, you love them just the same because of their inner beauty, still, you may prefer the looks you fell in love with from the start, and I think there’s nothing wrong with that.

Anyway, I still don’t want them to switch back. It’s the Ginney - Tet in Wat’s body I, and many other viewers, fell in love with so let’s just say it’s for our sake lol. I blame it on Namtarn/Alek's chemistry and my heart haha.

Also, speaking of the high life that you think Wat doesn’t deserve, I’m pretty sure Tet’s dad will get locked up in prison for years, he makes dirty money so I think his money and properties will be seized, then gone the extravagant lifestyle.

Edit: nice observation on Kul/Wat you had there :)

I got what you said. I actually skipped quite a few scenes cause it got on my nerves how implausible they were, how Pope's character behaved and handled certain situations. I also found his ex super annoying (and so he being in love with her in the first place and keeping coming back to her was a big turn-off for me). There were more things that I couldn't wrap my head around but I just decided to turn off my brain and take things lightly. Also I skipped scenes that I found annoying or unnecessary. That way, I was able to enjoy it, cause with all that said, I still liked the main story, the chemistry between Pope and Namtarn and their bickering lol.

Wow I thought you're watching this already lol. Are you waiting for it to be completed to binge watch?
If you loved Namtarn in the other two lakorns, I think you'll fall in love with her in this lakorn and be territorial over Tet in Wat's body for Ginney's sake too lol, but I guess you might have already as you've watched their clips and been following the comments :)

I'm not sure. It could be a scene before they switch back, we don't know yet but I also hope they won't. I too love the chemistry between Ginney and Tet 2.0 (aka Tet in Wat's body). I can't picture Ginney with Tet 1.0 (Tet in his original body lol) and honestly don't want to see Kul together with Wat's body (Alek). It'd feel weird.

Sapail Jao is a historical lakorn. Namtarn also played a strong girl (but not Ginney's style lol). I liked the story in general, didn't like some subplots. Though I felt that it was a bit draggy and didn't make a lot of sense at times, I enjoyed it nevertheless. I loved her chemistry with the male lead (Pope), also their bickering, and how their romance/relationship was developing over time. Alek (our Tet/Wat) was in it too. I actually shipped Namtarn with both male leads cause I didn't care about the second FL as I found her charecter quite dull.

Likit Haeng Jan has a concept similar to this (body swap, or rather switching places) but it features two different peiods, the present and the past. Namtarn played two roles with completely opposite personalities and she nailed both (imagine two girls with the same face but I was only rooting for one of them, not because one girl was bad, personally I just didn't really like the character. I guess that says how well Namtarn did :). Interestingly, Namtarn's paired with Krating (in the present). But I loved the couple living in the past and their story much more. The girl from present who travels back in time is a badass, and I loved how she'd outright flirt with the male lead to the point he'd blush lol (he's incredibly disciplined). ML (past) is a gentle and nice guy, plus he's so good looking lol. I'd say the plot is interesting, the episodes are fast paced with a lot of exciting/funny moments.
