His right-hand man saw it on crime scene photos. Then told him his niece(?) has that same doll and you can record sound with it. But it looked like they didn't know for sure if she recorded anything. I'd probably call that bluff if I were the villain🤷

I had a lot of fun watching this show and def recommend it! even though there were aspects of the romance and plot points I didn’t care for.

What I liked:
-> Charn’s stylish psycho persona with that creepy af smile<3
-> Nawin’s ..well …everything=D totally unexpected delight!
-> Rose and Maya’s power couple energy and charisma on screen. If they led a series I’d definitely watch it.
-> Grandma and the family moments. So wholesome<3
-> Tan’s misunderstood bad boy side story. Though I think they did him dirty by cutting out some key scenes from his romance.

What I didn’t like:
-> Fight choreography! Honestly, if you make one of your characters a pro in martial arts you have to pay extra attention to how it looks on screen. Otherwise it makes your production look silly.
-> Charn&Tinn dynamics after they got together. I’m all for acting childish or spoiled with your lover. Who else can you do that with? But it was way overdone here. It was like watching two kindergartners romancing each other. Cheese overdose. Didn’t fit the mature characters and themes.
-> Cartoonishly evil villain. That for me was the weakest part of the plot.

I'd say clear your mind from preconceptions and enjoy the romance:) Happy watching!

A mustachioed mermaid😆 Love it!

Yeah, I'm also not too crazy about this plot twist. But I'm afraid you're right. The themes keep repeating in the two timelines, and in the present it looked like she wanted to share some news with Jom on the phone

9.4 on Douban with over 860k votes?! *shocked face*
Just started ep1 and can't recognise Qin Hao.. What did they do to him?! *shocked face no2*

I'd prefer the third ending as well. I just wrote in another comment that it would hardly be a happy ending, if Khun Yai got to live out the rest of his life with such heartbreak. It's different with the book because you can imagine they're almost the same person. It wouldn't work like that on-screen. They'd need to be different people.

Personally, I hope they change it. The only truly happy ending I can see is the one where this pair of Jom & Yai get to live out their lives together in the 20th century, getting filthy rich off that land near Bangkok. From the perspective of a drama watcher who got invested in Khun Yai's happiness, the ending where he gets to spend the rest of his life without Jom would be bittersweet, to say the least.

Haha! That's my favourite<3 My most paused and replayed scene of 2023

My emotional state after this episode: sober but high on feels:) This heady mix of playfulness, tenderness, sensuality, intimate pillow talks, scorching kisses and heartfelt confessions gets me every time. I'm going to repeat myself, but this is romance done exceptionally well. It's crazy how emotionally invested I got. Can't imagine saying goodbye to this series in two weeks when I have only just found it..

"Actually, you should know best that I'm not a child anymore." *gigglesnort* Yai needs a 'Caution. I'm Hot' sign in this ep;))

Bet when the monk talked about Jom bringing changes to his household, Yai's father didn't think it would mean his wife having enough of his BS, and taking charge. What a classy slap down:) I kinda love all the women in this show!

Look at it from another side. If someone has a deep seated belief that going against societal norms and expectations must without exception result in a miserable life. Then they wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing they let their kids make that mistake. I met people who believed that forcing their kids on a conformist path meant securing their long-term happiness, at the price of a short-term heartbreak. And I haven't time traveled from 1920's.. As for Yai's parents, I think the mother is in self-denial and the father treats his kids instrumentally:/

Thank you! Army career is even a better fit. I can totally see it. Now I'm gonna keep picturing him in a tiny uniform:D

Forgot to add the question was sarcastic. I don't really think he planned that:D

I know. I meant after the wedding. I've assumed the father will push for one quickly. I don't believe Yai is the kind of person who'd go along with his wishes and get engaged but then run away before the wedding. So how did he look so relaxed on that nighttime outing? Planning his future with Jom by his side, when he knew he was about to get engaged to a different person than the one he was kissing? Adding that clusterfuck of Jom learning from others about the engagement… The sequence of events makes it hard to understand his reasoning and puts him in a rather bad light. That's why I'd like some context

Jom, you dumb? What's that crying for? Get Yai and sail for Paris! Paint with Chagall! Get drunk with Hemingway! You only live once! …or do you?🤔 I'd watch that spinoff;)

Such good acting in this episode. I really liked the nighttime visuals, especially that upside down kiss by the lantern. I actually totally get Jom. But wth was Yai thinking? Did he plan for them to live in one house while B. stays in another? Hope he explains that at some point. I'm excited for the showdown next week:)

Lek to Jom: - Are you tired? Are you really tired now? I mean are you certain? Maybe you'd like to rethink your answer:D
That kid terrifies me. I think it's obvious who's the future politician in that household.

Hi:) I also watched it in Spring. I just came back after 6 month hiatus, saw it in my notes and decided to submit as is. From what I remember, there was some old-school humour that was a little off-putting but overall it was absurdly funny;)

What an unexpected gem! 100% pure, organic romance with a background mystery. It's been a long while since I was so captivated by a love story and couldn’t help rewinding instead of skipping forward (I mean, that olive oil scene!!!)

My first thought was that it's Outlander, if Claire ever bothered to think before speaking or acting rashly;) Well, the villain is paper-thin compared to Black Jack but the two lovers are equally magnetic.
