Bruh... I almost clicked off the first episode because of the parents. They really trying to piss me off. Piengfah is overseas and can visit her daughter but doesn't and as soon as she hears she's in a relationship with Nueng, she suddenly has free time. Not only does she see her daughter for the first time in a while but proceed to have the most out of pocket conversation and tries to convince her daughter that she misses her. The only thing I'll say is that she had the most compassion about their relationship.
Chet - Father of the year this guy. Him hiring guys to take pictures is just FOUL behavior. He doesn't take any of Nueng's advice and does whatever he pleases under the guise of "looking out" for his daughter. You might be a "father" but you are not her DAD. You don't get to make demands. The way I wanted to flip him over when he barged in talking about Anueng is going to live with her mother and she "can't" stay. I'm grateful Anueng put him back in his place.
Now, I'm not an emotional person and I cry once or twice every year but when Anueng was talking about her feelings... I was destroyed. The way she is delivering her lines. The acting. I just can't. Yoko deserves awards. I cried when she said she didn't want to live anymore. The tears came instantly and my stomach felt heavy.
I love everyone's performance and how everyone was just calling things as they were. Hard to hear but it was facts. You could see how Nueng's mind was being broken by what they were saying to her. The look in her eyes. She's not going to let it out that easily because growing up she had to supress her feelings and it's not easy to open up yourself when suppression is like second nature to you. Faye never fails. When Nueng called into the radio station, I cried because that scene was everything.
It's really in Anueng's best interest to cut that family off. All they see when they look at her is a kid when she's shown more maturity than everyone combined. You don't fight to hold onto a toxic family. If they really care, then they will learn to not only respect her wishes but also try to understand her even if they don't agree. You don't try to dictate a literal adult's life and tell them that you're looking out for them. How does that help Anueng in the long run?
Chet was disrespectful as fuck to Nueng at her house. The way he still managed to also make it about him. Also the grandma telling Nueng that the reason why she's like that is because she wasn't raised with her mother and father??? Lady go fuck yourself. Where does someone like YOU get off critiquing anyone about anything.
My last words to that family and it will be in patois, "Chet, grandma and Piengfah can guh suck dem madda".
And I thought I was addicted. Where do you find the time?
I've been fighting not to watch any of the episodes as I just want to make it through Episode 5 first. I don't like seeing them cry and I'm anxious. I don't want it to be over but all great things must come to an end. I will be rewatching for the foreseeable future. This is the one.
I know it's probably getting annoying how many times I comment, rant and vent about Chet every week. I just can't…
Sometimes I wanna talk more about him but my comment would be too long. When I say I hate him, it's personal because shit like this happens. Her family's behavior is one of the reasons why I think Anueng should just get away from them. There is nothing to talk about to people like that who could care less about your feelings. What pisses me off is that he goes to Nueng for advice, she gives it to him and then he just does whatever he pleases and then acts surprised when Anueng could care less about him. He constantly gets rejected by Nueng and has the audacity to asks why. He wants to smile and acts like he's this nice guy and then dictates to everyone else. Under no circumstance should he have any say in Anueng's life. He's lucky, she even gives him the time of day. Imagine not giving a fuck about your daughter who you claim to love, feelings and he sure as hell doesn't care about Nueng's. That character change for the grandmother is something too because, her face looks pleasant but she's still a disturbing woman. I'm gonna be fightimg for my life next week. I legit can't stand Chet, Piengfah or the grandmother. They all need a reality check. Treating a woman like a toddler.
Even though I read the novel twice, I knew I still wasn't going to be prepared because of their acting and I'm definitely not ready for the next episode. I'll have to try not to think about it. My hatred for Anueng's family is real. It's the unwillingness to understand anything and the dictatorship of her life for me. Imagine making life changing decisions for a literal adult.
