Cute and innocent are two words to describe this series. This is the stage of tenderness before the big storm when she is taken back to the real world and transformed into an ‘adult’. I’m loving their innocent love not spoiled by the ugliness of the real world. At this stage, it’s simple–she has a mind of a child and she learning about first love, how to deal with first love, the emotions involve with first love–the same for him, our naive innocent leading man Saichon in love with his Nangfah.
They don’t know it yet, but they are in love, very innocently so.
The core theme of this lakorn is abandonment, he is frequently making vows that he will not abandon her. When she breaks that vow in the upcoming episode, not intentionally of course, it will be a harsh life lesson for him.
Her leaving him will change him drastically from a young man who never wanted to leave his island out of fear of the real world to a man who will risk everything to find his one and only love. Episode 2, we start to understand Saichon more, he is very simple. Like really really simple, this guy just wants to live, fish, get marry, stay on Min island forever.
Like his confession on the beach when she asked him to take her to the stars, he refuses. ‘No way, the stars you are seeing are in the cosmos, it’s very far away…when I was a kid, I once read a book that if you want to go to the cosmos, you have to ride a space rocket. Even if I can ride a space rocket, I won’t go. ‘ She asked him ‘why’. He answered, he doesn’t like the unknown outside world. Wah. ‘You don’t know what is out there in this other world that is why I don’t want to go out anywhere.’
For now, I’m enjoying these cute moments– by next week, I know the storm is coming. It ain’t gonna be pretty, it will be a whole a lot of angst—you abandon me, you are pretending not to know me, jealousy, greed of love. It’s gonna be a THAI LAKORN.
For now this is sweet, they are just making vows–vows to stay together forever and be as one family.
Considering this is Ch3, I doubt it–maybe for the Bangkok area, it could be possible. Counting for the whole nation, it could end with a TV rating of 15, which is not bad at all. Some Furious Tawan fans don’t care, they just know they like this show and TV ratings is just a number. “I’m not sure what the ratings are, but as for myself, Furious Tawan is a lakorn of value. From the lighting, sound, picture, the actors, and the crew, you guys are ‘excellent’, you won me over ka,” wrote a fan at pantip.
