I just watched the first 3 episodes with subs and it was already good when I couldn't understand anything, it's better now that I understand the dialogue! Wow! The parallelism between Duang and Rin and how much it is affecting Saran was so well made. Right from the first episode, the two of them were already being compared, with all their similarities and stark differences. What's more is that right off the bat, we are told how crazy Saran was (and how goddamn mushy. "Angel of Strength" "You are my goddess" WHO THE HELL SAYS THAT?! he's so goddamn mushy I wanted to slap him) with Duang that he was willing to die for her - what more when every molecule of his heart is captured by such a sweet girl as Rin who is just as selfless as Duang is selfish. I suppose Saran was also immature when he was with Duang. Although he's being a total jerk to Rin, he also starts to have that endearing alpha male quality about him that he's starting to love like a man instead of a lovesick puppy.
The part that struck me the most was the sunflower scene, which was the first scene James Ji and Bella shot together (I may be wrong but it also seems to be the first sequence shot for this whole lakorn since the blessing was also done in the same place where the sunflowers were.) Anyway, it was that point where Saran finally reveals his current predicament. He's confusing Rin and Duang in his mind. He knows that Rin lied to him about being Bralalee but at the same time he's starting to think that Duang's pretty face hid her evil heart and he was thinking that she lied to him too (that their puppy love was all a lie and he just fooled himself) - It was like how earlier his mother was saying that he was under Duang's "spell" - in the same manner that Rin's housewife prowess were viewed by Saran as "enticing" or seducing him (hence tricking him to liking her). He finally looked at Rin and realized she was beautiful, just like the posh Duang and he figured she'd be tricking him too, just like Duang but then Rin put him in his place and he was brought back to his senses when Rin said that she was there as she did not want to be an ungrateful child to her parents - the same reason Duang had for dumping Saran. He realized the stark difference between the two. Duang followed her parents (as a scapegoat) to have a good life, and Rin followed her parents to be in a living hell. I think when he repented that was when he finally acknowledged that he is starting to like Rin and he was ready to move on from Duang. I wanted to slap him when he asked if Rin was sure she didn't do any of those household chores for him (or if really she did it for her parents)- I mean, he was so pathetic and yet so vulnerable at the same time when he asked that. I think at that point he actually cared enough to be worth her affection for real. When Rin replied "If you can't forget your woman then I also cannot forget my home!" Saran looked like he just got punched. Logically, it would be at that point where Saran would start forgetting about Duang so Rin can start doing house chores FOR HIM for realz (i.e. Rin would do it out of love for Saran and not for missing her family).
So I think it was why after that he finally said that if he had been asked if he liked her, he would say "MAYBE."
I was just laughing so hard when Saran was starting to ask for Chili Paste for dinner. ("I already gave you my salary! You should do your wifely duties............i.e. chili paste for dinner!" HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA well, he wanted a hot hot evening, i bet. He was just being wholesome about it, taking it one step at a time! Well played Khun Palad, well played.) It was so childish and yet so endearing at the same time. It was like him begging her to do work for him, to make her do something because he willed it and not just because Rin was being a dutiful daughter to her (fake) parents. I like how Rin and Saran are bringing out the worst and the best from each other. Like Saran was riling up Rin and making her furious while Rin was getting Saran out of his controlled/emo self and making him childlike. They really are so adrobs! I can't wait for Rin to fall in love with Saran. That boy better bring out all his cards.
