Yes, his father. They killed him off and didn’t bring him back. However, he was brought back in the novel.

There were 3 epilogues. The first is about Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru’s child growing up and focuses heavily onto the child’s marriage life into the palace and what sort of dynasty they and the main characters were living in decades later into the future. Their first child was meant to be a girl but the drama changed it to a boy and she was a stutterer/not much of a talker so it also touched base into disability discrimination a bit being the first child of the power couple. It’ll only make more sense if you read the novel because Liu Yuru was actually pregnant and gave birth way before everything else was completely solved unlike the drama. The second goes into details about Ye Shi An and him finally finding a wife some decades later after getting kidnapped on one of his trips. The third epilogue ends with Jiang He getting incarnated back to his early years in another timeline, him deciding to right his wrong doings and raising the child correctly this time round with the Gu family. They all lived happily together, and it ends with Jiang He forcing Gu Jiusi to marry Liu Yuru, they all meet and everyone felt that feeling of ‘it was as if I’ve known you for a lifetime’ and ‘it was like meeting old friends after a long time’ quotes from the novel.

I implore people to read the novel. i finally got around to watching this and I’m glad i did. I got so excited after finishing and decided to read the novel because even though the adaptation was great, there was still this lingering feeling of vagueness i couldn’t explain. The novel had extra scenes and explanations which you get to understand each characters a lot more and why they chose to make the decisions they did. I think the drama has set the characters in a way where you know what role (hero/villian/good/bad) each person has whereas the novel makes you second guess on whose a friend or foe. The drama for the most part stayed true to the novel’s plot lines except the whole stepmother thing they added which I did not like and a particular scene in one of the final arcs involving Liu Yuru which didn’t exist in the novel. They borrowed some dialogues from different scenes and added them together, and pulled some scenes out to make them happen faster but overall, both has their own pros and cons and I liked them all the same. What I loved most was the novel having some epilogues of the future which ties the story up for a more complete experience of the ending of both the drama and the novel however will only make sense once you read the novel in full as opposed to watching the drama since they altered a bit of the ending.

i decided to buy it since it was only 1.49aud. there is no ep 21-27 despite it coming up on their binge watch list and saying all 27 episodes. dramacool has the raw 21-23. the vip gives early acess up to ep 20 like the YouTube membership except these ones have subs.

I saw on the app ‘all 27 episodes’. I can’t tell if one was going to buy VIP, it’ll show the last 7 episodes too or just the 20 episodes they listed VIP.

A lot of them focused too much on revenge and angst, I’m so tired of those lakorns. Hak Lai, My Lady this year took the cake. The unnecessary angst at the end was weird and I felt they resolved things way too quickly so as much as I love that lakorn, it could’ve done a little better. The comedy was fire though. Matalada is the icing on top. The clear, concise communication between Pennueng and Mata was how I wished Lin and Pi could be. But oh well, I loved them all the same.

I’m going to echo what the rest are saying. The relationship between Mata and Pennueng is one of the greatest green flag ever seen in the entire history of CH3 Thailand. It gave me joy to see that there is finally a representation of how a healthy relationship work in lakorn that isn’t based upon what ch3 likes to do mostly about revenge and angst. This couple is the highlight. I think this lakorn captures realistically what happens in society and to the ones given and not given the chance to express, and have the unconditional love we all deserve. Mata was bullied growing up, but to get to be the person she is today, she was given a psychologist and lots of love and learning opportunities from Daddy Grace and her family. How we all wished we were given this chance. Pennueng wasn’t given this chance. His life was filled with suppression like a lot of us were. It took me a long long time to realise the things my mum did was all so that I can be happy in a life where no one can look down on me because of my disability but it meant sacrificing my happiness to look superficially normal. It took me going to a psychologist for a while and self learning to finally have the courage to talk, express how I felt to her and what could’ve done better in day to day life and advocating my voice outside family relationships. What Tri and Pang family life looked like shaped how they grew up, who they became as a person and what type of people they attracted. Those were the worse cases of unloved families we see in society and it makes me sad because like Tri and Pang, we often search for that love elsewhere. It took 30+ years for grandpa Pao to accept and express how he felt about Daddy Grace coming out and we see it was a big feet for him to take for a Chinese man his age who grew up learning that being different is akin to being outcasted. We see how each of these factors can effect you and the people around you. I love that scene where Mata and Pennueng was being sweet in the hospital and it changed the vibe so much so that the nurses were pointing out that there seems to be a lot more couples and happy families coming into the hospital than usual. We attract what we release out into the world. Overall, we watch to enjoy a good lakorn but like what Daddy Grace has said, don’t forget about your magic shop, you have superpowers, and when in times of need, close your eyes and pick your powers. Know to be kind to others because hurt people, hurt people but don’t also forget to be kind to yourself. I love the many positive morals they included for character growth, I think if we reflect upon ourselves and turn some of them into practice, like Daddy Grace, we too can become a better version of ourselves like how we all wish to be.

I’m super excited and surprised this dropped, it’s been a while. if anyone is looking for the missing scene of the first episode said down in the threads here, it seems the mangotv APP, has it. (The YouTube channel now has it as ep. 0 recap).

Ah, yes, you're right.

I wasn't feeling all too much with this one as I only started the drama for the sake of watching but damn did ep 3 did it for me. The ML listening to the FL and took her advice with no hesitation and immediately extended his hand because he wouldn't allow her to chase alongside him on foot to catch the criminal was the freshest scene I've ever seen thus far. Gosh, the part where he didn't take any credit to saving her and said she saved herself by being courageous was so fabulous. Stop, that was so sweet. And like, he's also a chef. His hands is graced!

How far ahead are the Youku subscription at? Viki is at ep 10 currently with ep 11 set to release around tomorrow or another day. I would risk paying VIP on Viki for better subs than Youku if they're not ahead at all.

A reminder that Dimsum E. Had shut their site and Netflix doesn't licence KC anymore. AlwaysGrumpyCat had it ripped on their site. (https://alwaysgrumpycat.com/kluen-cheewit-2017/). THE SUBBING PROVIDES BETTER CONTEXT THUS PLEASE WATCH FROM THIS RATHER THAN THE ONES EXISTING ON YOUTUBE.

Should probably be marked as a spoiler. Honestly, it could be anyone at this point.

I had to agree.

My biggest complaint would be the fight scenes. It's in all Thai dramas in general and not just this one. I'm so used to seeing Chinese or Korean dramas with their fight scenes that I tend to compare them together. The scenes look so fake, it's laughable. You can tell there wasn't any real power/strength with the punches and all.

In all honesty, I think it's more about the agency. From the little Google search I've done (correct me if I'm wrong), these actors and actresses don't 'audition'. In Thailand, you get sent as one of the castings by the agency then you get picked. A-listers just happen to be easier. Channel 3 just probs didn't find worth for them to work together again until recently with the news or perhaps haven't found a drama for them to milk from the CP yet.

(Dimsum Entertainment has the next best subs. It's even better than the original fansubs released out earlier back in the days of 2017. The site will shut down by the end of September. I advise people go see it for better context if you're wanting to watch KC. You'll have to have a VPN, because it's only available to some countries like its main base in Malaysia).

Where do you live because I don't know bout you but like half of the world can't access it. Lol. (I reckon Netflix ran out on licensing because if someone were to watch this now, late 2021, you couldn't find it, no matter the VPN. I instead had to option through Dimsum Entertainment with the VPN set in Malaysia. However they're shutting down the website in 9 days. There is no indication if they're leaving the site as is with the shows there or if the site will be gone all together. It looks like if someone wanted to re-watch or begin to watch KC 2017 in October into the future, the only access they have is the original subs. Which is a shame because from the ones found in DE, the subs are better).

Honestly it's ridiculous how much people (even though understandable), have these insecurities. Everyone thinks you can't just be best friend when one's female and the other male. I'm lucky enough none of mine ever had girlfriends, or if they did, our friendship had become distant enough that there wouldn't be a problem but the amount of rumours and speculations that somehow we were dating would make me what to vomit some bitchy comments.
