I loved Tor in this role. His expressions of care, concern, compassion, the hope in his eyes, the feeling of despair, you can see it all in his emoting eyes. Give it a chance, I hope you enjoy it. Otherwise, surely we all our entitled to our preference of likes and dislikes so it's understandable if you don't like something

Ofcourse we all see things differently. To me the show is very much like Mr. darcy and Elizabeth. Darcy from the first moment was only about Elizabeth, no one else mattered but when how and where he will acknowledge, is another ball game

epi 7:In Anong's birthday party she announced she was going to give the drink to the one she loves, walked up to Wichai & then made a sarcastic comment that he likes things that r easy to get & hence his life is so bland. She proclaimed that since the person she is in love with does not appreciate her love, she is going to love herself even more. This was going on while Wichai brought the ring for Chut to propose to Anong and Anong making drinks with the new guy Prapat. Anong's older brother just introduced Wichai by saying this is Prapat, Anong's dream guy.
In the later scene with candles, Anong met Wichai, at that point Anong while drunk & angry said things in circle about her and him whereas Wichai talked about Anong and Chut. For me it was a well written show depicting the culture of 1940s and 50s. Anong was upbeat and progressive. Wichai was a righteous man who was infatuated with Anong. I think for Wichai, he took Anong as a dream girl for all men not just himself. Why then would she settle for a widower whose wife committed suicide and was so bland.

I believe, Wichai never said he likes Chantorn. Chantorn's brother on death bed asked Wichai to look after her. The gentleman he was, never denied anything about Chantorn to protect her grace. She was shown to be born out of wedlock. Wichai due to his own baggage had a soft spot for protecting people's images.
As for why Wichai never indulged in a romantic way with Anong, because he would never allow himself to let Anong go to his level. In his eyes his lever was the ultimate hollow pit, nothing graceful or happy. He only loved Anong throughout the journey but kept her on such a high pedestal that he would have never given her the idea to settle on him.
I believe Anong till the time Wichai got sick never told him directly that he likes Wichai thats why he will tell her that he had no idea about her love for him.
All your tensed up phase should hopefully ease out by episode 11 and 12. Wishing u all the luck! For me, the show was star in the second watch. My first watch put me in angst and hatred over his mother.

Yup, u r right

Agreed! What a sick character! I rewatched it while skipping every single moment of her and all of a sudden the show became so beautiful and peaceful.

Yes, I can so relate to your comment. I felt the same and have rewatched it already. Adored it way more the second time around. I was able to pick on sweeter and finer moments between the leads that I couldn't comprehend during the misunderstanding phase of our amazing leads.

Woah never did I realize what your age is. I was wondering how can they cast Tor as a widower. You have a face that forever can come in high school era shows. Take it as a compliment, you cool dude!!

What a great casting decision that was. Tor and Yaya's combination is simply electrifying. They gave a majestical performance together

To me it was much better the second time around and now I am on my third. I simply skipped all the mom's scenes and my brain did wonders after that. I could follow the flow, pay attention to Wichai's subtle moments,his unwavering admiration for Anong, Anong's character development and so much more.

I'm going bonkers as well. What did I just watch!! So peaceful so surreal, (umm minus the mom) I agree with what you've expressed. This became an unexpected favorite for me too. Wow, simply amazed at so many finer points

Yes, more Yaya and Tor for us please

I have visited Thailand recently and so can relate to your comment. Yes the created aura is magical as if cool breeze is everywhere. Ofcourse its the beauty of the well crafted background scenes with extremely gorgeous foreground of Yaya and Tor that proved to be sheer magic. Totally agreeing with your comment:)

Keep at it, your angst will turn into a beautiful butterfly soon. Wishing u all the luck!

I came here to wish him all the luck in his projects for 2025. Had No idea we lost him so young. May his soul eternally rest in peace

:( i feel sad that you can't get to enjoy it. I'm not saying that u r wrong in feeling angst. I just wish that u could erase the weird mom's character from your playlist. I too came back to it after going on a break. Lack of good subtitles didn't help me much either. The show is based in 1940s. Ppl back then never addressed issues directly. First 10 episodes made me angry as with all the love, admiration and care Wichai had for Anong, he never allowed himself to be at par with her. Instead he forced himself in every situation that Anong must be thinking about another guy. Anong's unwavering trust in his personality gave him a chance to be the man he was meant to be. To me it was incredible as not once did I miss cellphones/texting or realized the lack of modern day technology. There are so many aspects of this show that have swept me off my feet.
On a side note this show reminded me of jane Austin's novels. Such subtle moments but when you reread them or rewatch them, u get to enjoy their beauty. When it was their fake wedding arranged by the villagers, Wichai was so reluctant to carry on with the ceremony till one of the villagers told him that the grooms shawl was hand woven by Anong. After that he never put a stop to any of the wedding festivities. Ok, me telling myself to stop rambling now. Sowee me going on and on

No misunderstandings , just a perfect show. Watch it when you are ready to give it all your time. It's written in Jane Austin style. Imagine if one skips all the boring scenes and then try to make sense out of the play. It wont work. I made that mistake the first time. Second time I only skipped the evil mom and watched every thing else, the character development will blow your mind, even for the smallest side characters. Hope u enjoy it as much as I did or even more.

The lakorn world generally have an ample supply of impenitent characters. To me this was refreshing, based in 1940s with women empowerment, men that didn't get jealous of women shining in all walks of life, quite a few faithful and sweet characters with only one major evil character. I think if possible, give it a second chance. I adored it way more the second time around. I chose to skip all mom's scenes. No point in watching her as she was evil in essence, mean with her kids, their spouses, neighbors and who soever crossed her path. I wouldn't want to waste my time on her instead I enjoyed the amazing , ethereal chemistry between the leads. How Wichai kept Anong on such a high pedestal that he never once dared to pair himself with her. How Anong's spirits lift his morale and he learned to stand on his feet again. Aah what a beautiful creation.

Thank you Yaya for giving a breathtaking performance in
My Cherie Amour. You looked dazzling in every scene with Tor!

This is a piece of art! I have already rewatched it twice. The first watch was not that impressive as I was watching it with my regular lense, forwarding every slow boring scene. When i gave the show a second chance I learned the beauty of it. It is a masterpiece and can only be enjoyed if you are ready to hear all the dialogues and see the character development of not just our awesome leads but so many of the side characters. The writing is incredible. Small plot lines like where Wichai asked Anong to collect compliments given from ppl's hearts and then they can marry, even with all the admiration Wichai had for Anong, giving Anong full decision power to accept him or reject him .... etc etc makes this show a classic to be cherished forever . I live in States, wish they had a meet and greet with cast and crew. Would love to give them endless comments.
I must admit, Wichai's mom is one character who was too pathetic and her scenes had to be skipped.
