I'm thinking all this must have been explained much better in the book, so I don't fault the novelist. And I doubt the novelist could be responsible for this fail in writing, as surely they'll know what pieces of the story could be cut and where, unless they're a complete noob ( ... )

Oops, meant Tie drugging Min. Oh, and I wish Cheer's character had at some point way before the ending acknowledged her love for Paul openly, and we could see it as more of a struggle.

Paul/Sri: Yea, Sri was pissed off with Paul right to the last minute and her sudden turnaround was a little jarring. Oddly, I find Kan having more chemistry with Cheer in the BTS than Paul had with Sri in the show! And Kan's really hot. Just sayin'. =P

Tae/Dao: Initially I felt Tle's acting was ok, even if it's nothing to shout about but as the show progressed, his acting grated on me more and more. It wasn't so bad in his scenes with Cheer 'cos they were mostly funny but when he tries emoting with Min, I'm like uhgggg.

Dennis/Deun: I think Dennis ordering the hit on Jenjira was the last straw for Deun. My bone to pick with them was that their final 'showdown' was lacking in emotional depth and all felt very rush. But then again, this problem is true for all 3 pairs. Sigh.

Thanks for the link to AF. I presume the spoilers posted are based on the novel? It makes much more sense for the 2 couples to have time to sort things out after Dennis is out of the picture instead of like in the lakorn where it was all squeezed into the last half hour. D:
Re: location change. No wonder I thought Deun's house looked different and I was wondering if Dennis moved somewhere else with Deun after he dumped Jenjira. Haa.

I think it's from the script, but apparently, they weren't following that all too well. In fact, kudaranai says in the thread "I do wonder if they'll keep the original storyline of how Sri and Paul kindasorta broke up." Hmm.

They also talk about how they were shooting up to the last moment, (Min was actually sleeping in the scenes with her on the bed) and someone said they had like half of it complete and after that they cut out lots of scenes from the scripts. Well, I think that's one mystery solved on why the first half is better than the last half.

If that's the case, seems like I can't blame the scriptwriter either! lol
I suppose for PS the flood made the filming schedule even tighter and everything got messed up towards the end. Live filming is really hard for everyone involved!

There were too many things going wrong at the same time. Ch7 writers usually suck. The flood. The lack of sleep... they made changes last minute because the ratings went up. They added more Paul and Sri because they were the ones nabbing the ratings for them. Poor them, they had to shoot the day before the episode aired. Gun had panda eyes, my heart almost broke. You know he does have a personal YT account lol. I don't know what he says but I don't care, he has a hot voice lol ( ... )

They forgot about the first half of the lakorn. nods
Are you on the Paul/Sri shipping camp? I honestly don't get the love for them (especially that they were the favoured couple early on) when they didn't even get much development. I actually much prefer the characters when they are separated from each other because they usually end up annoying me by their nonsensical arguments when they meet. Initially I was like whatever, Gun is hot, he could be reading a telephone book I will still watch but towards the end I simply ff his scenes with Sri.
I wonder how the feedback from Thai audiences are since that would directly impact the tv stations. The ratings went up in the later half though, does that mean the Thai audience actually liked how it progressed?? o__O

Sorry for the late reply, I do ship Gun and Cheer but I definitely do not ship Paul and Sri lol

You will see a pattern in Ch7 lakorn. I think the Thai audience do love the drag haha. Most of their ratings comes from the countryside. If you compare rural and city ratings, Ch3 dominates the Bangkok area ratings but never the rural. It is very very extremely rare if Ch3 does.
