Okay, now that we have our alternate ending, I can say that I freaking love this drama. The chemistry is fantastic, the story is generally well thought out and heartfelt. Even the nang'rai is a fairly sympathetic character until the very end cause nang'rais gonna nang'rai, I guess lol. The alt ending fixed most of what was wrong, although they obviously couldn't change some major events at the end due to budget/time.
Anyway, check it out. Joss does such a great job, and Nune is amazing as always. The rest of the cast is great too. Don't bother watching the original ending if this is your first viewing. Just watch the alternate ending. Trust me.
Man, I'm so bummed after watching a teaser from Asian Crush on this to find out it's just a framing device for a horror anthology. I want the whole movie to be about the kidnapping lol!
And now a comment out of spoiler tags: I think a lot of people are unfairly judging this show based on the fact…
THANK YOU for this! Honestly, I've been a fan of Thai drama (as in, good ol' lakorns) for a long time, and I've seen more and more fujoshi flocking in because of the BL dramas. And like, fine, I love romance, so I watch BL along with everything else, but there seems to be this expectation of it in everything a this point, and they just...really need to chill. Straight, mainstream romances are still far more popular and profitable. GMM likes the variety, especially because they have producers/directors who are irl LGBTQIA+, but expecting a strong male same-sex romance in every single drama is ridiculous, yes, even when it has gender bend and y mentions in it. When I saw the ads for this, it absolutely looked like a straight romcom with some funny BL moments that parody the genre.
Maaaan, I can't wait for the alternate ending! I dropped it when I heard about the original ending, but now hopefully I can finish it! It should be out around this week or next???
how much money does neko mew site want can't watch anything without ads everywhere jesus!
What in the world, y'all, I watch on my Chrome browser and I have her site white-listed so the ads come through and it's not even a problem? She has to pay for the site maintenance and server space. I would happily just donate to her like Muse for all the amazing work she does.
What is with the CPR in episode 4?! Chest compressions are supposed to compress the heart to pump the blood through…
Okay so the cpr scene is actually not because they're trying to avoid touching the chest, but because of an old (inaccurate) idea that you can push water out of someone's lungs by compressing the stomach like you would when they're choking. It happens in A LOT of dramas, even when they wouldn't be concerned with skinship. Her heart didn't stop, she just wasn't breathing. It's definitely wrong, but it's just kind of a trope at this point.
Also, the first time he covered her mouth with this hands, but when he went back in he didn't, and you could tell there was full mouth contact. Weir never disappoints on that lol. Like, I get that in the drama she's a lot younger, but IRL Mook is 23. That's not really that big of a deal for them to really kiss in a drama these days,.
You can also see in the ending credits that there is a full contact forced kiss.
I kept saying I'd be okay with whoever the FL ends up with, but like...the plot just didn't support it. And the latter half was SUCH a mess. I just saw that they changed writers after episode 10, which explains everything. I'm so disappointed. The actors turned it out for what they were given, but man, what a let down.
I just want to thank everyone for the (responsibly hidden) spoilers, as I just could not watch this drama as it was running, without knowing the ending. I know it's deep and meaningful, but I lost my brother not too long ago, and I didnt need yet another heart breaking tale of how to move on. I know what that's like already. So thank you. I definitely wont be watching this one for awhile, at least.
Is it a detective? Do they really solve crimes together? Or is it more like 'You Who Came from the Stars' where…
Lots of crime, but not really a mystery. I'd say its more like an action romance with palace drama. So, yeah, kinda like you said, or maybe Queen Inhyun's Man.
I think they should've had Ken play the king - I love that guy and his acting steals every scene.
I love Push! I mean, how could you not, lol. And yes, Ken is amazing in everything. Sawan Biang, Aum Rak, Rareng Fai, and Neung Nai Suang or some of my favorites!
I have a handful of favorites, though no one tops Ken. Weir, Push, Mond (from Boy with Rent), Lee Thanat, Mark, Mario, Nadech (when he's with Yaya lol), Pong, Sean, Great, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting lol
Chakrit was in Mafia Tee Ruk, Bow See Chompoo, and Wimarn Sai way back. He's done a lot. He's one of those guys that you don't think is that handsome (to me), until you see him act, and then he just completely draws you in! He has a romcom on Netflix rn, The Charming Stepmother, but I haven't watched it yet.

Fully agree, Ken is my all-time favorite, and one of the best Thai actors - or actors from any country - I've ever seen. I would've loved to see him play an arrogant, confidant king! I think Chakrit would've also been a great choice, though I don't even remember if he's with Channel 3 rn lol
Okay, let's be honest here. The true OTP of this series was Saranat and Rhungthip . I've never seen Moo and Ton get to act together as such a loving, happy couple, and I thought they were an absolute joy. Once it started dragging, I found myself skipping some of the leads' scenes, but still watching Moo and Ton together lol. Such a treat.
As for the series....it's gets a solid "eh" from me. It felt like the director could't decide whether to make it a true slap/kiss or a romcom, and instead we got an altogether uncomfortable mix of both, which is extremely difficult to pull off, and rarely ever works. You can't have an actual sexual assault, then expect us to laugh off every instance the Pra'ek pins her down after that, no matter how many silly sound effects the editor's put over it.
And btw, a rawr scene in a drama from 2019? Like, I get that it's a remake, guys, but the writers could have easily swapped that for a drunken night of passion or something. If the remake of Huajai Sila could cut out the near-rape and still make Sila a terrifying, but entirely sympathetic character, then they could've done it here too.

Proong Nee Gor Ruk Ter is still one of my all-time favs <3
