Thank you girls for your feedbacks. Yes
C123, now you see why I love posting these questions b/c it really is that interesting to read everyone’s opinions. Everyone made a lot of valid points. I think that all of us agree on the fact that Bor did use Awn to make Kaew jealous.
For me, I think that Bor stayed with Awn in the earlier eps b/c like
kudarania said, first it was out of obligations as a boyfriend. Like
songlove said, Bor is a sincere man to begin with so his intentions were not to hurt Awn.
Secondly, like
songielove and
giakiem pointed out, he simply did not care. The fact that the woman he truly loves had moved on with another man and that nothing had really changed with their family situation meant that more than likely, he wasn’t going to end up with Kaew. So there was no need for him to break up with Awn when he could actually use her to try and change Kaew’s mind as a last attempt to get her back in his life b/c he was always persistent when it came to his love for her. Like
giakiem said, it was not until he saw that Awn had tried to hurt Kaew by almost allowing her to drown that he asked Awn for a break.
I think that Bor cared for Awn and was a good boyfriend to her in the beginning but I don’t think that he ever really loved her. I remember two instances where Awn accused him of worrying about his secretary and he uses work as an excuse. He says “we discussed this before in the past and you accepted it, that work is work” or “my work always comes first, you understood this” When a man put his work before you, that’s a clue that he doesn’t love you. And then there were the times when Awn had said that she loves him and he never once responded back that he loves her, too. He could lie to her that Kaew was just an ordinary secretary and that she didn’t mean anything to him, but he never could lie to Awn and say that he loves her.
About the jealousy thing, I agree with you
songielove. If Bor did marry Kaew like they had planned he would have never been the jealous type. He’s a sweet and trusting man to begin with. He was so confused, frustrated, and tormented in seeing the woman that he was supposed to marry be with another man that it was really the only way for him to let out his frustrations w/o directly telling her that he still loved her b/c in those early eps, he was still very resentful of her.
I did notice that he was able to handle his jealousy a lot better after their heart to heart at Nunim’s Mother’s Day concert when Kaew told him that she knows that some things in the past hurt so much and were so horrific that they can not be forgiven, but she didn’t want them to hate each other. Then they heard the name “BorKaew” and both had flashbacks of what would have been and Bor better understood the situation and let go of some of his anger b/c after all, this is the woman that he loves.
One line in the series that pretty much represents how Bor views his relationship with both Kaew and Awn is in that scene in ep 11 when he wanted Kaew to ride with him to the company party at his house. He said,
“I’ll drop you off first and I’ll pick up Awn last.” In his heart Kaew will always come first.

Yikes, I wrote an essay. I couldn't help myself and everyone's opinions were so dead on
