So Saeng Tawan: End

So Saeng Tawan concluded today in typical lakorn fashion—the main villain gets shot & dies and pra’ek gets shot and lives, while nang’ek gives birth to a child. Also, pra’ek’s secret identity is revealed.

Not the reception he was expecting, Jantakarn (Tle) gets a warm welcome from his biological mother when she learns the truth. Family Hug! Look at that face, someone is stunned because all this time, he thought his mother hated and abandoned him.


Later on in the episode, he defends his brother and mother against his villainous uncle.

Bang, in typical lakorn fashion, he gets shot. Though I don’t have the screen recap of it, the police come and shoot down his villainous uncle.

So Saeng Tawan: Red Flags!

I haven’t been keeping up with “So Saeng Tawan (Fighting for the sunlight)“. I watch it but not closely. Most of the time, I find myself fast-forwarding through the political intrigue, pra’ek and his revenge scheme; I just head to the Pancake and Tle moments and skip the rest. I really don’t know what the heck is going on. From what I can gather, pra’ek is really bizarre and he has a really unhealthy relationship with nang’ek.

Pra’ek is not sadistic like Harit in JLR, but he is really out there. I don’t really consider drugging people, especially your leading lady, healthy. From episode 6-10, pra’ek has drugged nang’ek with a cloth 3 times. THREE TIMES, I repeat. I don’t know, I consider that a red flag for craziness.

He drugged her part 1:

In episode 6, Garn (Tle) and Linin (Pancake) were chatting outside a club, she is yelling at him because he sent her a note that read:”I tired of you, why aren’t you tried of me yet. Non”. Non is Linin’s boyfriend who died in an auto accident. After his death, Linin becomes the girl version of Tor from Badarn Jai; she is suicidal and maniac depressive.

Linin found the note distasteful and accused Garn of liking her and the note was just a way for him to get her attention. She tells him, “you think you can get my attention this way, dream on!”

He doesn’t take her insult seriously, looks up at the moon and asked, “Tonight the Moon is very beautiful, would you like to go out with me tonight?”

Of course being that she is a sane woman, she turns him down. And being that he is not normal, he takes his chloroform cloth and drugs her. He is like the modern day caveman, instead of cubbing the woman who rejects him with a bat, he uses chloroform cloth to knock her out and carry her to his den. Like seriously, it’s barbaric.

Soo Saeng Tawan: Spoiler pic

Possibly tomorrow or maybe next week, we will see Aof Chanapol in the buff for “Soo Saeng Tawan”. Aof plays Chongon, a spoiled rich kid and Jakajan plays Rawee his love interest in the lakorn.

In the upcoming episode, Rawee comes to work in Chongon’s house as a servant. Before she became his servant, Rawee and Chongon had several bad encounters. The first time they met, he snuck into her yard and caught her while she got out of the shower. The second time, she saw him at the club, where she worked as a waitress, with several “loose” women. He insulted her, so when he was hiding from the cops because they were checking IDs, she ratted him out. Rawee sees Chongon as a pervert and a womanizer.

At his house and at his turf, he gets her back by putting her in an awkward position. While he is in the tub, he orders her to come into the bathroom and to get him a towel. She walks in and sees him in the tub half-naked, she screams and looks the other way. He comes up behind her and taunts her. Annoyed and angry to be put in such a position, she whacks him with the scrubber. LOL.

“Soo Saeng Tawan” airs every Mon-Tues. for Ch7.

I been noticing that Pancake is never in these behind the scene pictures. It’s like everyone is close except Pancake.

Soo Saeng Tawan: Soundtrack

Silly Fools-“Rang Ror (Wait)“ from their 2008 album “The One”.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

I did watch the 1st episode of “Soo Saeng Tawan” and I don’t know what to make of it. The way they were dressing I felt like I was watching Don Johnson’s Miami Vice. Am I the only one? Did you guys get a 1980s vibe from this lakorn?

What I’m sure about is the theme song. I like it. It’s “Rang Ror (Wait) by the Silly Fools. The song is about a guy who is dating a woman who can’t forget about her ex. He feels tormented because the only reason they are together is because she wants someone to lean on. The guy’s girlfriend can’t seem to move on and still waits for her ex.

MV on youtube

No plot, just the band playing at an abandon warehouse.

Lyrics translated by me. I was iffy about certain parts, do correct it if you see errors.

From what I see now, I think I’m as equal as your previous
Will it be a waste of time, If I explained it
I don’t keep hope because I don’t know how long it will take
For you to forget him and start our story
–
*The thing that is still stuck in your heart, at which you wrestle with but can’t let it go.
In the end, it’s all right but it comes back to harm
You stored it in your heart for a long time, don’t waste your time being unconscious of it.
Can you forget everything and throw it all away?

–

**You prolong time, in order to stop your tears from falling.
You’re just buying time for a person who doesn’t exist.
You delay another person’s life so that you can withstand unshakingly
I don’t think you are able to do it if you can’t forget him.

–

( Repeats * / ** )

–

The person who is losing time because you’re still enduring and feels tormented…is me
Why are you waiting when you know too well you still have a life to live?
The person who wipes your tears must be yourself.

Premier: Soo Saeng Tawan

In a few hours, “Soo Saeng Tawan (“Reaching for the Sunlight”) will premier on Ch7, taking up the Monday-Tuesday time lot and replacing Por and Noon’s lakon “Kom Faek” and I must say it has one of the most diabolical pra’eks out there.

As I was reading the synopsis, I thought my god he is like a prisoner from death row, “my mother abandon me and I came from an abusive foster care system, so I decided to shot everyone down to vent out my frustration on society and my mother.” Wow.

Pra’ek shouldn’t even be called pra’ek when he is running around sniper shooting everyone and trying to kill his mother, who abandoned him as a baby. Pra’ek also tries to kill his younger half-brother by causing him to go under a major asthma attack, his brother is asthmatic and he used it against him. Dude is crazy. He spends his every waking hour strategizing for ways to destroy his mother’s life and career and also the people around her. Crazy.

I think we should come up with a new vocab for this type of pra’ek. They should be known as pra’ek rai, meaning “villain leading man”. Or do you like “pra’ek ba”, crazy leading man.

Pra’ek lai is played by Tle Thanapol and nang’ek is played by Pancake Khemmanid.

Supporting cast includes:

Aof Chanapol as Chongon, pra’ek’s half brother
Jakajan Akumsiri as Rawee, servant girl in Nafah’s household.
Chadaporn Rattanakorn as Nafah, pra’ek’s mother

What’s going on here? I don’t know. Looks entertaining though.

Pictures of the crew goofing off during their break. Tubbytinker, Sarnworld member, found the pictures at Pantip forum.

Tle doesn’t look that bad.
