Rainbow Moon: Ep 4 Summary Part2

I’m getting the sense, she is beginning to fall for him without knowing it. It’s the little things he does that make him attractive– he is thoughtful, kind, and attentive to her every need.

Rainbow Moon: Ep 4 Summary Part 1

Watch it at youtube. Brought to you by ATEAM!

I have decided to divide the summary post into 2 parts because the caps are large and capping this episode is taken me much longer than expected because I want to quote everything that is being said. I know, I have gone insane. I have issues.

Continue for the melodrama…

Rainbow Moon: Ep 3 Summary Completed

This episode could have been shorten to 45 minutes instead of a long 90 minutes. Lookie here, I don’t care about certain characters, just because they are characters in this series, it doesn’t mean we have to develop them or pair them off with another minor character. It serves no purpose, it’s a waste of my lakorn watching experience. Several scenes could have been deleted, they felt like a long awkward pause in a conversation between people who despise each other.

Tawan is such a good boy, I want to smack him. If he explains the meaning of rainbow moon again, I will definitely smack him. We get it. Rainbow moon means tolerating others and learning to endure hardship. I’m not dumb. No need to repeat it. I can’t wait for Tawan to turn “bad.” It will add some spice to his somewhat dull character.

I can’t say I hate this episode. There were moments I found very touching and heart-breaking. Near the end when Tawan took back his white rose before it was thrown away, dude, play me a sad violin song.

Awnadee or Onadee is downright evil, I knew I was going to hate and I do hate her.

About the music, it’s so epic, like something great or profound is about to happen. Seriously, don’t they think they are overdoing it?

Subbed Lakorn: The Rainbow Moon

“Prajan See Roong (The Rainbow Moon)”
Drama/Romance, 2009, Ch3, 16 episodes, SUBBED by Malie7778

Plot:

Pongpat Wachirabunjong is Bie Sukrit’s father, his character is Aruk. He is a katoey (transgender) who works as a gay cabaret dancer for a club. When his neighbor, Oradee (Mam Jintara) gives birth to a baby boy and abandons him, Aruk takes the child in and becomes his father. Oradee is a prostitute and her child was conceived from a customer. Not wanted to endure hardship of being a mother, she abandoned her son and ran off with her farang boyfriend to live aboard. Oradee’s son is Tawan (Bie Sukrit).

In order to create a normal life for Tawan, Aruk decides to suppress his “gay” tendencies and devote his life to Tawan. He quits his job as a gay cabaret dancer and moves to Chiang Mai to open a hair salon and start his new life as a heterosexual man. Tawan knows about his father’s past but still respects him.

Tawan grows up to be a wonderful, intelligent kid. After finishing high school, he is accepted into a Bangkok University. He attends university with Plaifah (Aff Taksaorn), a young woman from a rich family. He falls for her but she has no feelings for him. Years later, when Tawan becomes a singing sensation, a superstar, Plaifah and Tawan start dating. Of course, because this is a lakorn, Tawan has an accident and temporarily loses his memory. His mother Oradee also comes back into his life and complicates the situation.

Tawan doesn’t remember Plaifah, he changes into a whole new person. No longer is he a kind and generous person, he turns into a cruel and mischievous man.

Rainbow Moon: Ep 2 Caps

Episode 2 was alright. It did feel like an after school TV special about a young boy who is learning to deal with his father’s homosexuality. Though I support it, it doesn’t mean I have to enjoy watching it on screen.

I do love the two additions: Kaew (“Tao” Sarocha Watitapun) and the soccer coach played by “X” Thitnan Soowansak. They seem real and decent and not like caricatures in most lakorns. Tawan needs a mother figure and Kaew fills that role well with compassion and understanding. Though his father is overly effeminate, the soccer coach can teach Tawan about guy stuff–playing soccer and other guy stuffs that I don’t know about.

There is a saying that no man is an island, meaning humans can’t thrive in isolation. At the beginning, I felt Luck, out of fear, isolated himself and Tawan from the community. Kaew and the soccer coach became their bridge back to civilization, back to interacting with other people in a personal/ intimate matter. It’s a good thing.
