Ratings for Burnt Sugar…OUCH!

It’s a 5! At least it is doing better than “Jamleuy Gammathep (Cupid’s Defendant)”, Cherry Khemupsorn and Chakrit Yamnam’s lakorn, it’s hovering around 3. Now that is an ouch, dang!

I didn’t think it would be that bad since this is Cherry and Chakrit, big name celebrities in my eyes. But nope, apparently, Thai audiences can not stand “Jamleuy Gammathep (Cupid’s Defendant)”.

Can you handle it? I can. Can you?

[Poo and New in White Lotus episode 4]

The kiss before they spent the night together. I like how the pra’ek in this serious very upfront about his feelings and not taking ‘no’ as an answer.  He knows the feelings they have for each other is there; however, because of family obligations, she must reject him.

I loved how he came into the room and said, “I’m not leaving, I love you. I know that you love me too!”

Poo, with her unconvincing acting, replied: “are you thinking too highly of yourself? I love Rungsee and you love Khun Noi.”

He approaches her. “With just those comments, you can chase me away. I have already asked Rungsee, he told me himself you don’t love him.”

Noot (Poo):”But I’m not suitable for you. The most suitable person for you is Khun Noi. Please forget me and leave here.”

Pana (New):”But I love you, I can never love another person. Please don’t do this. Please stop hurting ‘us’ by saying you don’t love me.”

She starts to weep and he pulls her in for a hug. In his embrace, she cries, “But it’s impossible. There is just no way.”

Pana:”There is a way, there will be a way. We will be together, I promise.”

He wipes her tears and they kiss. And cue in the theme song and we get the ‘willing’ scene.
