My theory on Kawi's secret: at his father's instigation, Kawi was involved in the accident that killed Nene's mother.
Why I think that? Series Kawi, unlike book Kawi, would anguish over causing harm, and his father is the only one who could manipulate him into that role. Daddy's a right bastard - I can l can see him using Kawi to get rid of a troublesome past lover. It would also explain Nene's quest for vengeance and her foreshadowing that people will see that Kawi is like his father. Having his involvement exposed and learning that Pam was integral in manipulating both him and his sister could push Kawi over the edge to making a final break with his family.
I hope that break is him leaving to work abroad and a betrayed and heartbroken Dokrak choosing to go with him, rather than something violent and dark, like in the book. Dokrak and Pam's separation due to Pam's betrayal, rather than Kawi's suicide, would explain a multi-year gap in Pam and Rak's relationship and would make sense, because it's certain Pam will get busted by Nene and Dokrak will be devastated.
So far, where the script has deviated from the book, it's been a vast improvement, so I'm hoping that trend continues. In that vein, I have a theory about Kawi's dark secret. I've posted it below with a spoiler tag, although it's not really a spoiler; I just didn't want to ambush anyone with an off the wall distraction. What do you think?
is that novel good? i mn i liked Gap from chao planoy i really liked it so is ins love is like that and theres…
Which is why I liked it so much. Honestly, though, if I were to write a GL it would be a hot date and a uhaul two episodes. š So, best left to the pros.
I just wanna say they've really upped their game with the cinematography here and its amusing that they used the…
I thought that was one of the more obnoxious product placements - mostly because of how much time it took away from the story. Definitely not "a Coke and a smile" moment
Me, in episode 40: Shut up and die. Please die NOW. For the love of God, just DIE.
That's my only complaint for this series.
Biggest bonus plus: the costumes and set design were amazing. I was hitting pause just so I could take it in.
Other pluses: The acting was solid, especially the leads. I didn't like either of them at first, but their commitment to avoiding, at all costs, the mistakes that led to their previous downfalls, won me over. The character development was realistic and satisfying, except for the 2ML who inexplicably squandered his do-over and eventually died as smug and self righteous and misguided as he lived (both times).
The final few episodes had a lot of explication, but the only other option was another ten episodes. It was handled well and from different perspectives, so it stayed engaging.
The foreign/American actors are making me uncomfy lol
I wonder if they were directed to speak comically s-l-o-w-l-y or if casting accidentally signed the most inept English speaking actors available in South Korea.
I guess FL looks young for her age but i wouldn't say she's that good looking to be that popular. totally overrated.…
Ha Ji Won was playing a character the same approximate as her IRL, so "young for her age" is a weird riff. Then again, it wouldn't be MDL without a gratuitous mean girl comment from the "pick me" bleachers.
I came here to see how well I agree with the ratings given on kisskh so I picked a series I really liked.…
I had a "No, sister, just run!" moment when FL excuses ML intending to kill her with the excuse he was trying to save his own life. No, he wasn't. He was a lazy, ill trained, immature and pathetic excuse for a soldier man child having an adolescent level temper tantrum in the midst of an unwarranted panic attack. This is not a man you want to waste another moment on, much less tie your future to.

Anyhow, that's my theory. What's yours?

It's a 10 for me.
