Yes, that is something I somewhat agree with. However, I think in dramas, it's hard to show multi-layered characters, characters are usually displayed in a one-dimensional point of view, there's always a good and bad, regardless of what made them that way, the situations that pushed them to survive, and the struggles that have damaged them to a point of no return. Proong has lived a sad life, no one loved her, they all abused and used her to their satisfaction, even Khong Kai, so in a way, do I blame Proong for having no respect for herself, for living her life so recklessly? Perhaps not. However, I believe Proong is mature enough to a certain extent, still damaged from early childhood, but she knows how to cry, knows how pain feels, and most importantly, knows how to manipulate. She even shows signs of humiliation when others bad mouth her, so I'm sure she knows what is right and wrong.I must be the only one but I feel sorry for Proong. If I thought Thai lakorns would go there I would think she was sexually abused as a kid. But I dont think thats where they're going. Certainly physically and emotionally her brother and mom are abusive and her dad does nothing. How can she respect herself when no one has taught her? Her mom and brother whores her out so is it any wonder she became one?
While I love Pai I'm not feeling the chem between Rome/Araya.
Even as children, victims of abuse know that how they're being treated is wrong. As a human, you have instincts that tell you what is right and what is wrong. That instinct may become clouded with events and trauma in life but it doesn't go away. Even murderers know that killing someone is wrong, so coming from a sad childhood doesn't make it a good enough excuse to hurt someone else. Knowing how and literally committing the act to hurt someone already makes you guilty regardless of your background. It is unfortunate that she suffered a bad life and never received proper love and treatment thus she is so rotten and lost inside but how long can people victimize themselves? One day, she's going to have to wake up, accept her life for what it is, allow time to heal her wounds, and begin all over again. Now would be the perfect time because she is old enough to hold the power to determine her own life. Other people have also been through very rough situations too but they choose not to dwell upon old misery that has haunted them of a bright future. Of course, that takes time and lots of love to rebuild their self-respect, value, and trust again but it's possible. They learn to let go and most importantly, move on, not hurting others like what has happened to them. The saying goes, you can't change the beginning but you can always change the ending. In Proong's case, she's willing to exchange her pride, the little self-respect she has left, and future just to win back something she didn't really care for in the beginning. She's about money. If Khong Kai only had the clothes on his back, she would never take him seriously.
Anyway, just watched today's episode, Khong Kai is truly Khong Kwai jing jing. Ugh. He makes me sick.
