I'm not complaining about the dynamics of the relationship. What you said makes perfect sense HOWEVER I'm disappointed that there has been no progression in building their relationship especially from Saya to Lip. It seems like Saya has only gotten "crazier" and bolder in her pursuit of Pranon that she's willing to break all rules and even user her senior status to bully others due to jealousy. Yes, I know, she's human after all and especially a woman. I've defended her in that for the past few episodes but seriously? We're going into Episode 9 already and there has been no change from Saya to Lip. Not even an ounce. She doesn't even appreciate the time she has with him. She has only shown disgust when she's near him and when she is near him voluntarily, it's always because she's using him in one way or another.
Saya should be showing signs of liking Lip by now like secretly smiling to herself when she sees what a great guy he is with her Grandmother, unawaringly thinking about him at night for seeing such a different side to him, naturally being jealous of him when those girls were all over him at the pool, not doing it because her Grandmother suspected something, blushing when he joked about her really getting jealous, not just an act, spending more time with him versus on her phone or computer, genuinely being concerned about his quietness instead of just being worried about being caught, should have thought about him the whole night when he kissed her at the dinner table....all of these little things add up, for example, Pranon and Prao. They have so many moments together. They always lock eyes, fall on each other, touch each other, blush, and think about each other.
Things that should have happened by now but didn't happen was have Saya see Lip and Jan together all chummy with her son and Saya naturally getting hurt and jealous or realizing that she may lose him. Or have Lip get into some type of accident where it was life threatening and pushed Saya to realize her feelings that she may lose him and she can't live without him.
I mean, they did such a great job showing us why Lip loves Saya. The flashbacks gave us an inside view that Saya has been there with him all along.
I mean, they may do flashbacks like that too when Saya realizes her love for Lip and shows us scenes we've never seen before but still, couldn't they do that and show it presently? Anyway....I've been skimming the past few episodes so if I missed anything, please let me know. But for now, all I see is Saya still chasing Pranon and the lies just keep building up. Yes, I understand that Saya is a woman in her 30's, now, just falling for someone; thus, she's doing things she's never done before BUT that was the very first episode. I see no growth in Saya. I could forgive the script writers if this was Episode 5 or even 6 but we're going into Episode 9 already! They had planned to end this lakorn at Episode 11, so without the extension, Lip and Saya only gets the last two episodes to patch things up? And I say that with an IF.
I honestly thought that Saya would shape up after the cake in her face incident but she still hasn't learned. Gosh. At the rate this lakorn is going, even with the extension, we're still going to lack progression between Lip and Saya until the very last episode, which is why I dislike Thai lakorns, they always have to wait until the last minute to wrap things up. I'm just so disappointed. This lakorn was fresh and had so much potential but the direction that it took just totally went off the cliff for me. Even if they were to wrap things up, the progression is now going to be unnatural. :whatever:
