I skip or drop over 80% of GLs just to watch this one, where the girl is probably miserable over her unrequited love the entire story. Not that I prefer doomed yuri, but I like how their relationship unfolds across different stages of life, from childhood to their teens, adulthood, and later years, set against a backdrop of arts, culture, and history that’s missing from current GLs.
Like I want those things in a GL series so bad that I am watching this doomed yuri instead of all the happy ones.
Sakuna Son Rak tells the story of Sern (Perth Veerinsara), the daughter of a wealthy rice-trading tycoon, who marries Perm (Film Thanapat), a handsome young government official with a bright future. The couple begins their wedding night with intensely passionate love.
But it seems the heavens are playing cruel tricks, as Perm is sent on official duty to Penang for over three months, leaving Sern to face a harsh fate at home alone. Khun Ying Panni (Nok Sinjai), her mother-in-law, constantly oppresses and looks down on her every second. The only thing keeping Sern holding onto her sanity is waiting for her husband's embrace and love.
However, when the day of Perm's return finally arrives, everything is no longer the same. He has become a completely different person — cold, distant, and utterly rejecting any touch from Sern. On the day her heart shatters and her body yearns for warmth, Tone (Tate Myron), the young chauffeur, is the only one staying by her side, taking her soaring away from the suffocating confines of the house.
Closeness ignites a desire almost impossible to resist. When this caged bird longs to fly free from her gilded prison, will she dare cross the line of morality into a forbidden affair that should never have happened?
The MV seems like it’s from Mala’s POV. But from ep1, it seems like Mala is the one who did Soi dirty, bc older Soi said “Have you ever hated someone so much that you wouldn’t even go to their funeral?” At the same time, "I heard a thief broke into your place". How are you a popular busy actress and still know what's going on with the woman you apparently hate lol.
Sod Soi Mala tells the story of two best friend dancers, Mala (Earnearn Fatima Dechawaleekul) and Soi (Mabelz Suchada Sonpan), a pair of royal dancers acclaimed as the most beautiful and enchanting performers in the capital. Their grace captivates men throughout the city, young and old alike, including Than Chai Ram (Krating Khunnarong Pratesrat), a young royal nobleman educated abroad, and Captain Phrom (Kem Hussawee Pakrapongpisan), a military officer with a bright future.
But amidst the rivalry between these two men for Mala's heart, the friendship between the best friends is torn apart when Soi's love for Mala crosses the line beyond friendship. When trust is shattered, Mala cannot accept these feelings, leading to a deep rift that eats away at the hearts of everyone involved for the rest of their lives. Set against the backdrop of a changing nation, how will this story of love, friendship, and tears end?
if he leaves with nares, i think his father would have used this reason to attack phitsanulok and ayutthaya ->…
i understand not wanting to provoke a war at that point in the story when i asked the question. what i also asked is why he never leaves. all the reasons why he shouldn’t leave is already motion – his dad/brothers were going to kill nares anyway, war w phitsanulok, ayutthaya who want independence from hongsawadi and other states that want to take control of hongsawadi. they’re all happening, and he still stays.
given how his father and brothers are, these wars would happen whether he stayed or not. i genuinely don’t understand why he remains and keeps following orders from his father, who clearly doesn’t know how to lead a kingdom like his late grandfather and is accelerating hongsawadi’s downfall.
for his country, his family? why die for an idiot father and brothers who obviously don't have any respect for him. his death doesn’t help his country. imagine if nares thought like that and went with his people to be executed by bayin just to not provoke a war that would happen anyway bc bayin would oppress those still alive after nares’ death so much that someone will have to eventually fight back again.
i think maybe why he stays & sacrifices himself will make sense to me in the last 2 eps.
since mingyi gave in to his father’s demands because yazala was ordered exiled (basically a death sentence), couldn’t mingyi have just asked nares to protect her? yeah it might count as defying his father, but nares already offered mingyi protection if he left hongsawadi, which is also defiance anyway.
or he could’ve just run away with her to phitsanulok. aside from trying to protect yazala, i don’t really see why he stays in a kingdom that treats him like a prisoner. as the story goes on, why doesn’t he ever leave?
if it’s because he feels a duty to his country, it’d make more sense to leave now and come back with nares later to take hongsawadi back from his father.
i wonder if he ever finds out that his father took his grandfather's life. can't he piece it together though bc didn't his grandfather tell him he was passing on the title to him and not his father? doesn't he know what his dad is like?

The MV was re-uploaded. The comments say the first was probably removed because it contained spoilers.
