This lakorn continues to surprise me, when I think it will end, we get another episode- what a treat! My apologies for not looking at the program prior to claiming that the ending was today (Thanks Marioholic for letting me know.) Rest assured though, we shall have the long awaited ending tomorrow which only leaves us to appreciate today’s episode even more- episode 14- the wedding! Also, Happy Mother’s Day! I will not inject my feedback until at the end of the recap, don’t want to spoil anything for y’all. Without further ado, I present to you Ep 14’s recap.
The onset of this episode brings us to grandma’s room, as grandma lays in bed while Phong attends to her from the floor. Grandma tells Phong that she feels much better now that she is doing some goodness for Phong and Plerng. There’s just one last problem left for her before she dies. She wants to know who the owner of the heart is. Phong stares at her speechless, uncertain if she should tell. So she stands outside of grandma’s door crying, and whispers into the night, “What should I do Pipat?”
At Numfon’s condo, she appears anxious and checks her time. She finds Sita.
Numfon: Can you stop work for a day? Please accompany me.
Sita: To where?
Numfon: Well mom called and told me that she has already booked a makeover for me. I don’t even know why she would book it.
Sita: A bridal makeover?
Numfon: Yes, I don’t see the necessity. We don’t need to do that much.
Sita: You can’t Numfon. Thai Diamond is marrying Ananta, you have to be beautiful to suit the honor.
Numfon: Yes.. but can you come with me?
Sita: Sorry, the bride needs to go with the groom. And today I’m not free either.
Numfon: But P’Sita-
Sita: Don’t need to beg, I’ll call Plerng for you.
Numfon: Wait no-
But Sita has already disappeared into her room.
As Plerng picks Numfon up, Numfon settles in his car.
Numfon: I could have gone alone, don’t need to bother you for nothing.
Plerng: It’s ok.
Numfon: You won’t be bored waiting two or three hours for me?
Plerng: No, I brought work with me.
Numfon: If Sita would come with me, it would be over.
Plerng: She probably has good intentions and wants us to spend time with each other.
Numfon: We don’t need to, we’ve already known each other for awhile now.
Plerng: I meant that we haven’t spent time together as a couple.
Then he pauses and they look at each other.
Plerng: It’s good, this way I can fulfill my duty.
Numfon: So you’re only doing this because of duty then?
Plerng looks at her and finally nods his head: Yes.
Numfon: Ok, then I must compliment that you are doing your duty very well.
As they arrive to the parlor, he tries to open the door for her, but she beats him to it and slams the door in his groin.
He yelps with pain.
Numfon: Oh sorry, I didn’t know you would do the duty of opening the door too. Are you ok?
Plerng grimaces in pain: I’m ok, I’m ok.
Numfon: I’ll call when I’m done.
As she walks away, she mutters that he deserved it when he’s so inclined about fulfilling his duty.
Which leaves Plerng wincing in pain once again.
Boot is over at Nut’s apartment and she shares the news with him, that she is afraid that grandma will hand over everything to Plerng. Nut angrily disputes that he will not allow that to happen. He will kill Plerng. Mom begs him not to and tells him that if he can’t stand being here then he can stay abroad with someone she knows. She tells her son not to worry about Plerng, she will not let him go. Nut appears disinclined to believe her but he agrees to do as she requests for the time being. Angry tears flow from his face.
In Chanon’s office, Non presents Sita with the finished jewelry set.
Non: Is it to your liking?
Sita: Yes, it’s beautiful. I intended to make this set for Numfon to be the most beautiful bride.
Non: I’m happy to see you so strong like this.
She smiles at him.
Sita: If I did not receive your advice, I probably won’t be able to do it.
Non looks confused.
Non: My advice? Which one?
Sita: Allow myself to accept the truth. From now on, I will look at the world as is, not the way that I want it to be. I think that my happiness is being able to see the two people I love happy.
Non beams at her.
Sita: What are you smiling at?
Non: I’m happy to see that you are happy because it makes me happy too.
Sita: Don’t tell Numfon about this set ok?
Non: Why not?
Sita: If you tell her it won’t be a surprise. Please keep this as a secret until the wedding, ok?
He nods his head. They both smile.
The night draws near as Numfon is on her laptop in her condo’s terrace. She appears stressed out and frustrated. She recalls her conversation with Plerng in the car. “Are we really getting married for duty then?” she asks herself. Sita sees that her sister is outside and accompanies her.
Sita: It’s so close to the wedding now, you’re still working?
Numfon: It’s just a wedding out of duty, what’s the point of being so serious?
Sita: Numfon, you’ve already made a decision you can’t play around.
Numfon: Don’t be so serious, Plerng thinks like me.
Sita: We’ve already talked about this right? Whatever the reason why you both are getting married, since you are going to marry, you both will be husband and wife. If you both think it’s a duty, then why don’t you fulfill your husband and wife duties to the best of your abilities?
Numfon: But you used to tell me that you won’t marry someone you don’t love. How come you’ve changed your mind now?
Sita: I didn’t change my mind. If I was in your situation, I will do the same thing, to preserve our surname.
Numfon looks away uncertainly.
Numfon: When I agreed to be engaged with P’Nut, I simply thought that if I marry a good man, whether I love him or not is not important..
Numfon stands up.
Numfon: But today, now that I have to marry Plerng, a man that everyone says is good, it makes me rethink that perhaps I want to marry out of love.
Sita: So do you love Plerng?
Numfon looks at the night sky, blinking away tears.
The following day, Thai Diamond has a board of director’s meeting where Nari presents her PR plan for the company. However, they could not commence the meeting or proceed with the meeting when a shareholder removes herself from the business- Boot that is. She sends a missive that she doesn’t want to concern herself with Thai Diamond and will not be coming to work. This leaves the entire company in shambles. Root tries to talk sense to his sister, and why can’t she think about the whole of the company as oppose to trying to bring everyone down. Boot refuses to listen to her brother.
Boot has purchased airfare tickets for her son but Nut is not ready.. She tells him that he needs to leave the day that Plerng gets married so people won’t notice. He eventually gives in to his mom, his expression however, tells a different story.
Plerng tells his uncle that the best way out is to give her what she wants, he doesn’t want everyone to be burdened because of him. Uncle Root disagrees. Plerng asks that they don’t tell grandma this because he doesn’t want her to be hurt. But grandma overhears them and decides to take matters into her own hands and come back to work, which leaves Boot exceptionally angry. She storms into grandma’s office and says that she is overstepping her bounds. But grandma says that Boot is neglecting her job and she will not let Thai Diamond go down because of Boot’s stupid angst against her own nephew. Immediately, Boot claims that grandma has forgotten what they have done to her. Grandma pleads for Boot to end her evil ways once and for all and let it end. Boot refuses and says that grandma wants it all to end so she can give Plerng everything.
Finally, the day that we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. We hear organs playing in the background, Plerng dressed in Thai traditional wedding wear, escorting his grandma from the house to the hotel. The family is smiling and everyone is glowing and beautifully adorned, sans Boot and Nut. The engagement ceremony commences; the french doors of the hotel opens, and in walks Root, followed by Plerng and Numfon, Nari then Non and Sita. Plerng is enamored and continues to stare at Numfon as she is wearing a gold costume. Numfon looks straight ahead and then at him. Everyone is smiling at the beautiful couple.
The engagement ceremony goes on smoothly, Plerng and Numfon sit on the floor with their legs folded. The elders sit atop the sofa. Since grandma is the elder from the groom side, she requests to start the engagement. Grandma tells Plerng to put the ring on Numfon’s finger. He looks slowly at Numfon, takes the ring from the flower petals. It is a square cut, vintage style, exquisite diamond ring. Plerng reaches for her hand, slides the ring on her finger as their fingers touch. They respect each other with a bow and the cameras begin snapping.
On their walk back to prepare themselves for the evening party, Numfon looks at her ring. Plerng walks with her.
Plerng: Do you not like the ring?
Numfon: No, why do you ask?
Plerng: I noticed that you didn’t smile when I put the ring on your finger.
Numfon: Who can act so good like you?
Plerng: You think I was pretending to be happy?
Numfon: Let’s just say that I’ll try to fulfill my duty as good as you.
Nut sits on his bed, staring out with anger.
Numfon is in her hotel room, dressed in her exquisite wedding gown, a heart shape top that cinches at the waist and flares out to the top of her knees with the back of the dress draping well below her heels. Her hair is fashioned with an up-do and the veil coming out to cover her shoulders. She is beautiful indeed. She sits on the chaise, looking at her ring. Mom and Sita enters her room and compliments her.
Sita: You would be even more beautiful after you wear a diamond set that I’ve prepared for you.
Numfon: What diamond set?
Sita opens the diamond case.
A stunning set of pearls and diamonds greets hers.
Mom: It’s as beautiful as you’ve asked me to keep it a secret.
Numfon: You both are keeping secrets from me?
Sita: Just a little.
Numfon touches the necklace.
Sita: I’m happy that you like it. I wish you happiness forever.
Numfon: Thank you P’Sita. I love you.
They hold each other’s hands as tears swim in their eyes.
Numfon’s mom puts the jewelry pieces on her daughter.
In Plerng’s hotel room, he is ready as well and equally as beautiful- handsome I mean, dressed in a black tux, with his hair brushed back. Plerng appears nervous as his hands are clasped together. Phong walks in and tells him that the bride is ready. Uncle Root asks if he wanted to see her face. Plerng says yes.
Nut has arrived inconspicuous in a taxi.
Their hotel room doors are opened and they are across the hall from each other. Plerng stares at his bride, unable to move, breathe. He finally steps forward and they are face to face. He smiles at her.
As Numfon speaks Plerng leans in to hear.
Numfon: Don’t worry, tonight I will break your head.
Plerng smiles, she leans in.
Plerng: Why do I feel like you’re always sulking at me?
Numfon: Speak nicely! I’m sulking?
Plerng: Yes. Either way, husband and wives will be by each others side. It’s going to be that way.
Before Numfon could retort, the party moves forward and says that the couple are so well suited.
Plerng offers his arm to her, Numfon takes it with reluctance and they walk to the ballroom together.
Root in the meantime has arrived at Nut’s place, to ensure he leaves the country successfully. However much to her dismay, he was not in his room. She realizes with horror that he must be at the party.
The reception commences! A beautiful stage, seven tiered cake and guests congratulating the duo for their marriage. We see Nut peaking in but unsure what he’s planning on doing, then he disappears. The bride and groom are requested on stage. As they walk the red carpet:
Plerng: I thought you said you would break my head?
Numfon: This evening..
Plerng: I thought you were nervous.
Numfon: Why should I be nervous? It’s just a show, not even a real wedding.
Plerng: But I’m nervous (excited.)
On the sideline, Sita tells Non that the more she looks at the couple, the more well suited they are. Non agrees but keeps looking at her as if he doesn’t believe it. Sita exclaims that she really feels that way.
On stage, grandma gives Plerng and Numfon each a long, jasmine garland and proceeds to open the reception. Grandma says that in this momentous occasion, she would like everyone to know that she will give all of her shares in Thai Diamond as a wedding gift to the bride and groom. Everyone applauds but Phong and Plerng looks on with concern. Grandma raises her glass to toast the couple but Nut steps in and yells that he was not happy for them. “You have no right to give the shares of Thai Diamond to him!”
Root steps in the way but Nut pulls out a gun- the guests disperse. He aims his gun at Plerng.
Plerng: You should think carefully before you do anything.
Nut: Why? Are you afraid of death? What about what you’ve done to me? You’ve taken everything from me. You have no right to lecture me. Today I will take everything from you.
Nari tells him to stop but he yells at her for being on Plerng’s side. Grandma chimes in that he will only torment himself but Nut wasn’t having any of it. As Numfon steps in and says that everyone is worried about him. But he tells her to be quiet. A fight immediately ensues for possession of the gun. Non and Nut both pull for the gun but Non loses as Nut shoots him in the leg. The ladies screech and Plerng wrestles with Nut. They roll around until finally Plerng is on top and a gunshot goes off. It is discovered that Nut was immediately shot and dies with his eyes wide open. At the same time, Boot rushes in and sees her son- dead. She blames it on Plerng and loses it. It was the last straw for her as she screams at everyone, especially her mom.
Boot: Do you know what they’ve done to your heart?
Grandma: Why? What happened?
Boot: You wanted to know who donated your heart right? It’s Plerng, the murderer who has given the heart to you.
Grandma: What are you saying? Plerng? Phongpeo?
Boot: Your heart right? You wanted to know who’s heart it is right? It’s Pipat!
Grandma goes into shock and loses consciousness. Everyone calls her name as she falls to the ground.
The music picks up as the entire cast bursts into tears.
At the hospital, the doctors are trying to revive her.
Root comes out of Non’s room and proclaims that he is ok. Plerng and Phong stands in front of the operating room. He says that it’s his fault, he should have told her the truth from the beginning. Uncle Root tells him that he did the best he could that day. If someone were to be wrong, then everyone would be at fault. Perng walks away, distraught. Sita mentions that she feels bad for Plerng and Phong. Numfon admits that she did believe at first that Plerng sold his dad’s heart. She goes after him.
In the hospital hallway that overlooks the Bangkok traffic.
Numfon: Plerng..
He turns around and looks at her.
Plerng: At last, the worst thing that I’ve imagined for my grandma has occurred.
Numfon: But in this problem, Boot is the one who is responsible. You weren’t wrong.
Plerng: Despite that, I know now that grandma can’t accept it. If anything happens to her, I will never forgive myself.
Plerng fights back tears.
Numfon reaches out for his hand, she holds it firmly in hers.
Numfon: I understand how you’re feeling.
He looks at her hands, holding his.
Numfon slowly lets it go. They look into each others eyes.
Phong walks in and finds Plerng. They both pray for grandma and ask that Pipat watch over her. Numfon looks on sadly at them.
The doctor is able to revive grandma. The family is excited but won’t be able to see her until tomorrow. As they all walk back to Non’s room, Plerng is alone with Numfon.
Plerng: Thank you.
Numfon: Why are you thanking me? I’m not a doctor.
Plerng: Thank you for being my support.
Boot is mourning her son, she refuses to talk to Nari, telling her daughter that she only has a child, and that’s Nut. Nari cries.
The next day in Numfon’s room (back in her condo..) her wedding dress is laid out on the bed. She stands in the balcony crying and recalling the snippets of times where people told her that she has stolen, broken and taken things from them. She recalls that she married Plerng despite breaking her sisters heart, breaking Lin’s heart as well as breaking Nut’s heart. She asks herself, “Am I the cause of all of the bad things that are happening?” Numfon glances at her beautiful ring through a torrent of tears.
As Boot sees to Nut’s body and arranges for it to be sent to the temple, Nari approaches her mom in the hallway. It is a profound conversation:
Nari: Please let me accompany you to the temple.
Boot: No need, don’t bother with me.
Nari: Why are you doing this to me?
Boot: What do you want me to do? Do you want me to plead you since you went to the side of people who killed my son?
Nari: Mom, listen to me first. I think it’s time for you to relinquish the past.
Boot: I don’t have a child like you. You horrible child. Don’t bother with me.
Boot tries to walk away.
Nari: That’s right, you’ve never seen me as your child. You’ve loved only Nut. No matter if I die you never care. You never asked me what happened to me. I almost killed myself, did you know that?
Boot: You- kill yourself?
She didn’t believe it.
Nari: Mom listen carefully, Nut sold me to Pairod. He imprisoned me, he wanted to force me to steal the diamonds. I didn’t want to do it, so he tortured me. Did you know that in all those time, Nut never helped me? But the person who helped me is Plerng, the person we hate so much we want to kill him. Without him I wouldn’t be alive. Did you know that?
Boot shockingly stuns herself into more tears and embraces her daughter.
The doctor tells the kins that grandma is fine but refuses to see anyone. Plerng says that she must be very angry with him to the point where she won’t forgive him. Uncle Root tells him to wait until she feels better and in a better mood.
Grandma cries as she recalls all of the times that everyone has lied to her.
Back at Nut’s funeral, Boot and Nari were the only ones there.
Nari consoles her mom: You still have me, I will take care of you.
Boot: I’m sorry.. that I didn’t listen to you when you tried to tell me. I’m sorry. I was wrong. I am a bad mom. I’m so sorry. I’ve tormented both of your lives.
Nari: Let’s start over..
Boot looks at her daughter: Ok. I want to do some goodness for Nut.
At Numfon’s condo, Sita is trying to get her sister to come down to eat, it is strange that she is in her room all day. As Numfon tells her sister that she will follow her later, she walks back to her laptop. She looks at Boston University website and says “This is the best way for us.” After the laptop monitor, we see the ring, placed back in its box.
At the hospital, the doctor tells grandma that she is fit to go home. Grandma tells the doctor not to mention this to her kids because she doesn’t want to bother them. She will find her own way home.
In Non’s hospital room, his arm is in a sling. Root tells them that grandma still refuses to speak to them. Plerng is blaming everything on himself again but Non tells him not to speak like that. Non thinks that Plerng will be able to win over grandma’s heart again. But Plerng says that this time it’s not the same as last time.. Plerng and Phong walk by grandma’s room before they walk away.
That closes today’s episode. Let’s get a glimpse of what is to come for our finale!
Preview Ep 15 (Finale! The real deal.. really..)
We see Numfon talking to Plerng: After I leave this place I want to be with someone I love and who loves me. You too, you should marry someone you love.
Then we see Numfon telling her sister and mom that she will study abroad in New York. Sita asks Numfon that Numfon will not marry Plerng then? We also see Sita later telling Non that they can’t let this end like this. We see Plerng asking Numfon: Is this your way out? She answers yes, and good luck too..
Will Plerng finally tell Numfon what she’s dying to hear?
—
First off, I am glad this is not the ending, with the way that the story is unfolding, simply ending at episode 14 would be too short! We need episode 15 in its entirety to satisfy my cravings- for Plerng and Numfon’s sweet moments that is. There were moments in this episode where you sort of feel for Numfon. Especially the car scene where Plerng completely puts his foot in his mouth- when she asked him if everything he’s doing is out of duty and he replies yes. It was a perfect opportunity to not say anything.. But later Plerng subtly drops hints that he wants the marriage to be real, he said that he wasn’t pretending to be happy.. or when they were walking down the red carpet, that he was excited that they were married. For being a person who looks at people’s actions more than listen to their words, Numfon is not keen on observing Plerng. Can’t she tell that the guy can’t take his eyes off of her, that he taunts her when he taunts no one else, that she practically drives him crazy? No, because much to her dismay, Numfon is a conflicting character and needs to hear how he feels about her. Beyond her exterior confidence lies an insecure woman. I love the contradictions in their characters- makes for an excellent lakorn.
Boot is a great actress! The scene where she learns of Nari’s torment by Pairod, you feel for her.. Nut also did a great job when he agrees with his mom despite feeling differently, he angrily stares at the camera as the tears fall, freely. I am sure on tomorrow’s episode, the director will tie our lessons together for us.. one thing is clear, there is no other way for Nut to go but south, like the morgue..
So I am dying to watch the ending, I love the pacing, the way they take their time patching up relationshps, gaining forgiveness and most importantly, reserving an entire episode for the main characters! It is late, I shall head to bed, but I’m looking forward to reading about what you have to say! Until tomorrow 🙂 Xoxo Fia

Hi Fia! Oh my gosh. All I can say is this lakorn is intense. This episode particularly. My heart beats harder and faster as the events intensify! I’m completely confused whether this lakorn will have the happy ending we all have been yearning for. It seems that Numfon is even harder to read than what we had thought of first, heck she’s even harder to read than Plerng!! I think she’s also very confused herself or is she just afraid to fall into her emotions? Or is she just the kind of person who needs to be constantly told that she is loved, because in that department, we can say Plerng really doesn’t say “Phom rak khun”s directly. As brought about in the previous episodes, Plerng has a tendency to become another Shone, who is tight-lipped, and this could be an otherwise big problem for Numfon.
Plerng is totally moped on the floor in this episode, physically and mentally. I feel so bad for the guy, our hero! What seems to be a perfect wedding, the night he is to be happy was a tragedy after all. And all throughout this, we see Numfon not really reflecting what a happy loving bride is supposed to be, and once again our hero is moped on the floor! By the end of it we see her resigning from this engagement as she looks for a university abroad and taking that precious ring away.
I do not know if I will be happy about this. I’m completely dumbfounded by the unfolding of events. I assure you, this 12 hours we have to wait will feel like eternity.
I dunno if this lakorn will have a delayed ending like CLTCL where Nam left for 9 years and came back for the happy ending, or this would be the end of Plerng and Numfon.
I can’t even begin to imagine what a waste it would be if they didn’t get married, because for all I know, they cared for each other, and countless people have given their lives for this relationship to happen, not to mention the hearts that have been broken. And what about their chemistry! Their chemistry!! What happened to that?! This lakorn is really gripping us like non-other. I hope it won’t be another hanging ending or else, I’ll lose my sanity!!!
And BTW I keep on forgetting to write how full and 3 dimensional and dynamic the characters are! I agree with you it really makes for a good lakorn.
I also noticed this that deep inside, Numfon is pretty insecure because of all the self-blame, self-pity cycle she does to herself and all the conflicts and infirmities within her. Not to mention her need to hear verbally about Plerng’s feelings. Argh!
And yes, mother and son must be given the recognition they deserve. Nut’s tears and expression scream nothing but genuine emotions. I was captivated on his expression, the redness of his eyes and the effortless tears. It seems so real to me that this man is crying. And for Boot, although the facial expressions are still a bit intense, I noticed that she mellowed down when she heard of her daughters confession. Its believable that something really gave inside of her, that wall that she keeps on locking herself up.
This is intense!!! Fia, the summary is equally engaging. Please rest yourself for the moment as we hold on for the most anticipated episode of Plerng Toranong ever! Khob khun na karb!!
*rubs eyes
Good morning! Oh I mean good afternoon! It seems I am sleep deprived on weekends, all for Plerng Toranong. Well, it’s a good thing it is the weekend..
Marioholic, do not fret my friend. They will have a happy ending.. I’m sure of it. Majority of the lakorns do end with a happy ending, it is the expectation- sort of like reading romance novels. And if it doesn’t we usually can tell from the progress and that it is inevitable. Movies are a different breed altogether.
Numfon is running away from her problems.. She will make Plerng desperate enough so he can admit that he loves her.. But he is probably still thinking that he doesn’t deserve her! This couple is soo foolish yet I cannot take my eyes away from them.
I simply cannot wait to see their happily ever after!
Good afternoon!! 😀 I’m so happy to hear that!! For some reason my worries for them has been lessened, but I could not help seeing Numfon walking away from Plerng in that scene in the pergola! It seems so inevitable. What could’ve stopped her then? That’s what I want to see later!!!
And, I forgot to comment how prince-like Mario is in that traditional day costume!! He’s so fit for that role, like he is every girl’s (or guy’s) prince charming haha!
Yup.. it;s also puzzling how a couple can be so inlove with each other yet, they can’t work it out because of these mixed signals haha. Let’s see later how this will play out for them 😀
Oh BTW! You’re welcome! Thanks for mentioning my name in your blog, I’m honored 😀 Thanks too for writing this whole thing. Can’t thank you enough!!
Hi @Marioholic! A long time.. watsup? 😉
I’m so with you in our love or even passion for this lakorn (and for Mario, of course).. I actually pulled an all-nighter just to see this the earliest I could (at one point I was practically the very first to view Fussyaunty’s upload! lol)… and I barely got sleep!
As things play out, I’m gratified to note that, indeed as discussed here, the villains are not villains per se but just people who are overcome by their own all too human impulses and conflicts. Alas, Boot & kids suffered the most from their own terrible choices. But all is not lost, except for Nut who went to the deepest end. As Nari chooses redemption, it’s now Boot’s call: follow Nari, or follow Nut.
Btw.. bravo to the fine performances, esp. Aof’s!
And bravo to whoever puts sense into our “pranangs”… Notice their love tango propelled by mixed signals?
Numfon on Plerng: I’ll show you, everyone and MYSELF that you mean nothing to me!
Hear?! But.. why can’t you say I mean something to you?? Why can’t
you say you love me?? Damn you! Don’t you know how I long to hear
you say that?
Plerng on Numfon: You mean the world to me.. I begin, go through, and end my day
thinking of no one but you.. but I can’t say it.. coz you keep reminding
me I mean nothing to you.. Wait!.. I actually want to but I..uhm..don’t
know how…
What a HOT MESS of a couple!
I think Plerng made a BIG mistake in the car.. When Numfon asked him about duty, it was actually THE chance for him to lay things on the line and on the table, but the love fool held back. I’d like to ear-drag him to a corner and ask him, WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!! lol .. I almost agree with Numfon that he deserves that car door slam! LOL.. His groin is hit again! It’s Numfon’s metaphorical message: You are man enough for EVERYTHING, how come you’re not being man enough now with your feelings for me???
And so, she plans on running away and be school mates with Emma “Hermione” Watson, then? Well…I say this to Plerng: C’mon! You know she’s just baiting you, but with the hooks up her own lovely confused mouth. Snatch her out of her own little foolish lakorn! You know she loves you…
as we love you, too!
xoxo
Indeed, what a hot mess. Perhaps they both are so stubborn, Sita and Non will have to intervene (as the preview indicated..) because god forbid Plerng will do anything of his own accord.
Amazing episode though, it invoked a lot of emotions from me, including the desire to lock the duo in a room together- and they won’t be able to come out until they work it out!
In the meantime, I shall take little naps throughout the day to prepare for another long night! 🙂 BTW, are you an hour ahead?
I forget one more thing.. I meant to say Boston University, not Brown lol. My apologies, I was transposing letters! So perhaps not flying on the broom with Hermione..
HELLOO Sir Brushpics!! Long time indeed ;D I haven’t noticed.. only until this lakorn is ending soon!! Now that Nut’s dead… what could be stopping them?! Gaahhh I’m totally needing to see their happy ending.
BTW you were also watching last night? Because when it was time for the live broadcast, I suddenly had a sever allergy and had to sleep early. Woke up 2am to download and watch the whole thing, and good thing Fia has also finished the summary!
They are a mixed signal mess. I’m also confused with the marriage thingy. Was the ring event more of an engagement than a prelude to the marriage?
Totally agree with you that the whole island experience wasn’t yet enough. They should’ve made it 1 week at least hahah!! Or a year? Something like the Castaway movie! Prolly they would’ve had children by then lol!
I’m not sure, if I want to watch later LIVE with a crappy live stream connection, and no guidance of Fia’s summaries whatsoever or I should just wait until morning for the clear uploads and with Fia’s summaries! I’m torn!!
We all share the same excitement for this lakorn, and for our Praeks and Naeks!! I love this! And @Fia, I’m so excited to hear that another one of his lakorn is in the works, I guess we have to watch out for that one again!!
Hi Marioholic!
Sir brushpicks?! Oy vey! LOL
btw.. I just saw.. uhm.. YOUR historic moment clip! wow… ain’t Plerng the nicest ever?.. (oops sorry for the others if I talk a bit odd.. just happy for Marioholic! 🙂 )
It seems you were not able to contain yourself for the final ep and saw the “crappy” stream anyway! But I do not blame you.. I would’ve had myself if I had the opportunity last night..
and LOL at Numfon getting pregnant and then delivering in the island a la Blue Lagoon! Methinks she’d have the mother of all hissy fits and it would take all of Plerng’s considerable charms just to tone down her, in Plerng’s word, sulking.
@ Fia.. THANKS for answering.. yeah, the wedding was frankly a bit odd for me since they wore western wedding attires and yet there was no officiating!.. I was expecting “I dos” from our pranangs.. but it’s all good.. what I LOVE about watching this lakorn (aside from the obvious reason that I LOVE this lakorn to begin with) is that I learn many things.
PS:
I think a new lakorn is intended for Mario (and Taew).. but I have my own story treatment in mind.. wanna post my idea (it could be a bit of a long post) here.. if Fia is OK with me posting my own fan ideas/fantasies..
@Brushpicks! Ooh, I am soo game for your fan ideas and fantasies! Tell us away, after all, what’s a true fan without his/her hopes and dreams for the intended celebrity? Shall I create a new post where you can share them?
Oh, I think so.. we’ve the same time as Singapore & Hong kong.. 1 hour ahead of Thailand’s.
btw.. the ep reminds me of co-reader justin and his cultural questions.. coz I have some Qs of my own..
Was the putting of the ring– the engagement ritual– really the standard prelude to the wedding itself? I don’t see any officiating person, is one really needed in a Thai wedding?
Oh, since the preview hints at Numfon NOT marrying Plerng.. true? So, the wedding CEREMONY was actually not done or even started at all? How’s that when the toast was already given?
I guess what’s shown is a hybrid of the Thai and western traditions. Am I right?
Bottomline: how is a Thai wedding done?
A tumble of questions! LOL
PS: forcibly locking the two in a room together to finally TALK is a good idea! The island time just wasn’t enough.. LOL
Sorry I’m just getting around to answering this Brushpicks.
Weddings in Thailand can be different, depending on your religion. Christian, Catholic, Muslim etc.. but majority of the population practice Buddhism, which is more of a way of life. No officiating necessary in traditional weddings. The first thing elders would do is find a good date to get married, this is normally done by visiting the temple and asking a monk. It’s all about timing.. Depending on that.. they make plans towards it. Some couples get engaged first, meaning that they have the ring ceremony. If a couple hasn’t already been engaged then they do the engagement ceremony in the morning where they get blessed by both sides, if they have already been engaged, they still go through the blessing from both sides of the party. That entails the family doing a ritual where the couples put their hands together, have three dots on their foreheads and gets blessed with water (pouring down their clasped hands..) After the morning ceremony, a reception follows where they dress up in Western wear, and everybody parties! Usually at the end of the night, the elders would take the couple to the bedroom, they would lay in the bed (deems good luck and prosperous- for future kids that is) then the elders would give kind words and leave the couples be.. traditionally, the couple cannot leave the room until you know what! As far as marriage license, they can do this the day of the wedding or afterward. We always say, you get married many ways: legally, culturally and religiously.. So once the wedding reception is over, that deems they are married culturally and religiously, once they sign the papers, they are married legally.
Thanks for the questions- and as always, thanks for commenting! Enjoy PT Ep 15 🙂

Weddings are beautiful, fun and most importantly
I saw it’s Boston Uni myself.. but was too dazed to realize it.. LOL
It started now! 😀 Too bad I don’t want this lakorn to end yet.. but so far I’m happy on what’s happening!!
I’m watching it too, I want to throttle Plerng and Numfon!
Yea so sad for them, esp Mario! Our praek is devastated! Oh noes, I don’t understand the book part haha I’ll just have to rewatch with your summaries! 😀
Were guessing the notebook Numfon was reading is sort of like a Shone scrapbook and the cloth was the one she tied to Plerng’s arm right?
Yes yes and yes!
I heart this lakorn- score and touchdown!
gawd, their first conversation that you recapped was so dry and formal. could they get any more obvious that they are saying the complete opposite of their real feelings? lol
Nari and Boot’s scene had me going in near tears. T-T
someone said that PT is another cliche lakorn but imo it’s so NOT. I mean, other than that all lakorn have pretty much the same structure, I feel like many lakorn have their own sweetness and memorable moments that are distinctive to them. PT has been one heck of roller coaster: we have the 99.99% Perfect P’ek against the 99.99% Not-Perfect N’ek lol and the things they go through together were unexpected just…not the usual stuff I would see. And then there’s the unworthy villains, two of whom develop so profoundly after all the mess they’ve caused. The most cliche action would probably be n’ek attempting to run away from p’ek at the last moment, that was just like “what the heck are you thinking Numfon?!”–then again, most of the time i had no idea why Numfon was the way she was.
argh, they were both so stubborn. but it’s also at the same time understandable in the way that humans don’t want to get hurt, so they’d rather put up a front about their feelings due to lack of confidence. nonetheless, i was very happy that they got to do a wedding scene!
I love your mathematics analogy 🙂 They are so different yet so perfect for each other. I absolutely love this lakorn because of their character flaw and chemistry!
Oh, that would be nice!.. Please do.. and others can share their own or comment on what is being shared! 🙂
