I haven't watched GRGR yet since I'm waiting for all of it to air, but it looks sooo good. For those who are watching it, how's the p'ek's obsession level for his n'ek? Does the lakorn mix his aggression and vulnerability perfectly so that it's obvious he really loves her like in JLR and SB? Hope it doesn't pull a "he has to marry evil girl out of duty" or "leave the n'ek for her own good" kind of plotline at the end. I hope he never lets her go and would want to be with her no matter what.
By the way, tho it's not Thai, you guys should watch the new Kdrama, "Flower Boy Ramyun Shop," cause it's got a really obsessed male lead. What's esp. hilarious is the fact that he's completely oblivious to what he's "feeling" -he equates his obsessive/lovesick state to an "illness" caused by the h. His personality's kind of warped in that he's very stuck-up/self-centered with NO sense of right or wrong. I love that his personality doesn't change after falling for the h, only he's determined to stick around the h as much as possible in order to "cure" himself of said "ailment." I've seen about 8 episodes and am waiting for the rest to air before continuing. The first 2 episodes are sort of disjointed and meh (tho the leads have a lot of chemistry), but then it suddenly gets so good/addicting -so hang in there. I also find the h so adorable and started really liking her after the first 2 weird episodes -she was totally not what I expected in a good way. Check it out if you want to watch a really good drama featuring a snob H (my favorite) obsessing over the h. Here's a really cute short mv:

Anyways, can't wait to watch GRGR and am so happy that it's living up to all the hype, tho I was never in doubt of Barry's acting prowess. It's so wonderful that such a good-looking actor is also super talented at acting.
Thanks, I'll check this out after GRGR is done. I think that's so funny that he calls it an 'ailment' lol.
As for your question, I have an answer muahahaha!
Hui, I assure you, if there is anything you will not be disappointed about, it's the p'ek. The level of his love is portrayed so perfectly by Nadech that it can't even be called an obsession--it's just pure, deep, unceasing love; which makes him pursue and never give up. I would say that the lakorn mixed his level of agression and vulnerability so well that never will you question his love for n'ek. Not once does he do anything to even imply that he TRIED to change his love, because even when he begins the "Evil Game" out of revenge/'hate' everything he does to hurt n'ek inevitably hurts HIM a 100x more and it's very VERY evident in his facial expressions. He tries to get back at her, yet he breaks down when she says he hates him; he tries to push her buttons by getting involved with her sister, but he so clearly has no interest in her sister(!); he tries to make innuendos about how he's 'done more than this and that with her before' but it all comes out as if he treasured every single moment. Ah, Charles/Saichon is definitely at the top of my p'ek list.
Iono, I've heard that some people think he's being stupid with his revenge...but he's a lot smarter than some of the other p'ek, I mean, he DID try to peacefully make her fall for him again when he finally found her. and he has so much more PRETENSE for being aggressive towards n'ek, unlike in JLR and SB where, to me, the p'ek in those two previous lakorn didn't really have the...right, per se, to hurt n'ek. Not that Charles has the right, but it just makes so much more sense to me to feel that magnitude of emotions towards someone that would make him want to hurt her and yet the only real reason he wants to hurt her is so he has an excuse to STAY WITH HER. holy gosh, unless you are a heartless person, you will sympathize with this p'ek more than hate him.
Everything he does involves n'ek and when he begins to realize that he shouldn't be 'playing the game' he becomes the gentlest thing you could imagine. Like, imagine Harit's gentleness, and multiply that by 100...all within ONE SCENE (ep17-ep18). It truly makes all the difference that he was in love with n'ek from the start too, but that doesn't mean that it was a bland revenge, it made everything more intense (because his undeniable love was pitted against his pain at her supposed betrayal), and also it made his realization that he can't hurt her all the much sweeter. And he's never once been unfaithful to her too, even after 3 years apart and then finding her as a nearly completely different person!
And no, thank goodness, even though n'rai is psycho as heck, p'ek will not have to marry him, at least not out of duty, but more to protect n'ek, and they don't actually even get married at all. And, double thank goodness, yet another good thing about this p'ek--he does not let n'ek go. ever. I seriously did not expect to like the city scenes where Charles became all aggressive, but I so so did lol and that's because, once again, through all the misunderstandings and bitterness, his love was made even more apparent.
wow Here was my Charles spiel for the day lol. This is my honest opinion though and I know others might not feel the same way. There are minor setbacks in the lakorn that I can't even recall at the moment because the p'ek made up for all of them 555
