The best way to punish someone is to take away the most important, valuable thing from him or her. This is the latest promise from Charles as he was dealt with another blow from Fahlada.
It happened in episode 16 of Evil Game Love Game, at the end of Seven Seas event runway. Charles was in high spirits, he just bested Dr. Wattana in front of everyone by kissing Fahlada, showing that she is his.
But as they reconvene backstage, Fah slapped him across the face and yelled, “You’re vile!”
“How am I vile?” he retorted. “I’m being thorough, actually.” Charles advanced a step, “It’s just a kiss, no need to be so angry,” he said and touched her face, “when I’ve already done so much more..”
She slapped his hand away, disgusted, and tried to slap his face again.
Charles caught her hand and goes in for a kiss, but was interrupted by her boss.
The next several events only caused his spirits to plummet even further.
Through Chompoopae he learned that Fahlada is trying to console Dr. Wattana about the kiss. Angry, Charles stormed to the pool area where he found them hugging.
Just as he was about to pummel Dr. Wattana’s face in, Fah protected the doctor and pulled him by the hands away from Charles.
Intercepting them, Charles yelled, “Love each other that much don’t you?!”
In tears, Fah told Charles in his face, “That’s right! I LOVE P’Mor!”
The confession shook Charles to the core. P’Mor is surprised by it as well.
“Now that you’ve heard it,” Fahlada spat, “from now on, don’t you ever plague my life again!”
Charles grabbed her arm, “I’m not going to let you go with him.”
They proceeded to tug at each other until she shoved him into the pool. Rising out of the water with anguish and hurt in his eyes, he watched Fahlada link her hands through Dr. Wattana’s and left him.
That was when he promised and vowed that he will make her pay: he will teach her a lesson. The best way to do that is to use the person she cared about the most to get back at her: Chompoopae. Little did Charles know that Chompoopae already despised her sister.
After Dr. Wattana dropped Fah off at home and made her promise to call him if Charles pestered her again, Chompoopae was waiting for her sister in the living room.
“Don’t call me your older sister!” she reprimanded when Fah walked in. “You already know how I feel about Khun Charles but you’re still flirting with him!”
“If it’s about the kiss on the stage-“
“Don’t you dare make excuses! And stop making that naïve face! You’re jealous of me. You’ve always been envious of me! How wouldn’t I know that?” Chompoopae yelled.
Fah pleaded with her eyes and grabbed for her sister’s hand, “you’re misunderstanding me. I never thought to deceive you. I love you.”
Chompoopae pulled her hands away, “Ever since you were a child, I’ve cared for you and loved you. But you never repent. You’re thinking about loving the same man as me, aren’t you? You better remember this Fahlada, Khun Charles will be mine! And if you’re thinking about taking him away from me, you’ll surely see.”
Leaving Fahlada to cry with wretched tears. Truly Fahlada is an angel, she tells her housekeeper- in between tears- that she will never be mad at her sister. Chompoopae is the only family she has left and she loves her. One can’t help but feel bad for Fah, when she cries, I feel like crying too.
The following day Charles put his plan into action by announcing to the media that he and Chompoopae are getting married.
She’s thrilled.
He’s repulsed.
And Fahlada saw red.
She rushed to talk to him after the media announcement.
“Looks like you received my video message. That’s why you’re in such a rush to congratulate me and your sister,” Charles said as she came face to face with him.
“I know this is all your plan.”
Charles laughed. “Thinking too much aren’t we? If it’s my plan I wouldn’t invest this much.”
“I’m thinking correct- a person like you is capable of doing anything,” she exclaimed.
“So you know me that well huh? And what about the other times that you declared not to know me, you must have been lying then.”
“If you dare touch my sister, I will-“
“What?” he stepped in closer and cornered her against the rail, “what will you do to me?”
She tried to break out of his hold.
“Even now you can’t do much. I will marry your sister. And as for you, you’re just a prostitute.”
Fahlada kneed him and her sister came in time to see her.
“I need to talk to P’Pae-“ she turned to Charles, “alone.”
“You can say it right here, Khun Charles is not a stranger.”
As Fah sees them walking away together, she found the courage to proclaim, “this man raped me!”
Shocked, Chompoopae walked back to Fah, “Don’t you say something this obscure!”
“A woman that got raped won’t dare say it’s obscure!”
Fah walked over to Charles, “You tell my sister- you raped me! Why aren’t you saying anything?” she searched his face. “Tell her!” she shoved at him, “tell her!!”
Charles said to her placidly, “Khun Fah, I don’t know what I did to make you hate me this much, there is no need to accuse me like that.” He looked towards Chompoopae and said, “I didn’t do it.”
Which technically, he’s right haha. It was a willing scene after all.. what prompted that scene however, was another matter entirely.
Chompoopae believed him. She scolded her sister, “this time around, you’ve done too much Fah. Apologize to Khun Charles right now!”
Unable to believe her ears, Fahlada stomped away, leaving Charles to smirk quietly at her back.
Then things got even more interesting.
Dr. Wattana paid a visit to Charles home and demanded to know why he’s marrying Chompoopae. After some verbal bouts back and forth, Dr. Wattana surmised that Charles is not marrying Chompoopae out of love because he knows what type of a person Charles is.
Charles glared at the doctor and warningly told him not to say that he knows him well. He has no way of knowing what type of a person Charles is… then Charles admitted that he does not love Chompoopae.
At the end, Charles said that they are using the same woman- Fah- which astonished the doctor. Charles nodded his head with confirmation “Fahlada is my wife.”
The comment landed him several punches from the doctor, until Sahat, his assistant, pulled the angry man away.
Dr. Wattana went to see Fah for the truth, and to his dismay, he learned that the two were intimate. He also learned that Fah has already told Chompoopae but she didn’t believe her. They conjured up a plan to show Chompoopae Charles true colors.
Fah asked Charles to meet her in the evening so they can talk. Chompoopae overheard them and will most likely follow. The stage was set.
Will Fahlada and Dr. Wattana succeed in revealing Charles ‘true colors’? Can Charles really punish Fahlada by marrying her sister?
Stay tune for tomorrow’s episode!
Some other subplots in the meantime.
Pernta and Sahat are really quite cute together. She is his brainless assistant who pines after Charles. We’ve seen her ditzy and domineering for some time now, but in today’s episode we see a different side of her character. While Sahat bossed her around and made her drive him to see his future home, she actually liked his house and was smart about the market. The two were able to read each other’s mind and got me smiling so much. Nice diversion from our tense couple.
We also must welcome back Mamee!
She’s working in Bangkok now, at a coffee shop. On her first day at work, she screwed up a customer’s order but luckily, the customer is James and he was kind hearted to save her. She immediately crushes after him and stalks him- finds excuses to see him, brings coffee to his work etc. She was cute. Right now she is in the same proximity as Nang Fah, but has yet to realize it. It is going to be interesting should she see her…
James and other friend (who also likes Fah) are assigned to research Charles’s background and find his motive. So far they haven’t uncovered anything significant, other than that Charles was adopted recently. They also know that Fah is lying to Charles that she loved Dr. Wattana.
Who’s excited about this weekend’s episodes of GRGR?

thank u dear for the recap.u really made my day!ive been refreshing ur page. btw, keep up the good work! rite now i’ll just wait for wishy to sub the vids! 🙂
Awesome recap! I’m really looking forward to this weekend’s episode! So glad Mami is back as she will be the main person to help Fahlada remembers her past at Koh Min! I’m also happy that she and James get to have some romance between them. As for Sahat and Plernta, I enjoy them a lot. They both are funny together and Plernta is not that bad but just annoying sometimes!
Even if Dr. Wattana and Fahlada are successful in revealing Khun Charles true colors to Prae, I think Prae will still want him. She’s so desperate for him. I mean, come on, he told her before all this drama escalated that he loves Fahlada and Prae still go after him and accusing her sister and Dr. Wattana of having an affair and pretty much ruining her own sister’s reputation by feeding lies about her to Khun Charles from the beginning (she studied abroad, very easy, have a lot of boys, etc) Prae refused to listen the nanny who even told her that Dr. Wattana is more suitable for her and will take care of her for the rest of her life. She’s blinded by people who’ve known her for a long time for her desperate need or lust to be with a rich powerful man like Khun Charles. (Gosh, I think I went off topic and analyzing Prae more)
I think Khun Charles will only hurt himself more and more with all the schemes he planned. (Nadech did a really good job portraying emotional pains in his eyes when he failed to make Fahlada react to the way he wanted) Marrying her sister for instance is not going to make the situation any better but make people hurt and angry in the process. Everything he do to try and punish Fahlada hurts him more and only make her angry!
I want the misunderstandings to resolve soon because I love to see how Fahlada reacts after knowing that Charles was Saichon, her husband that she loves with all her heart! Looking forward to your recap of 17 & 18 and can’t wait to watch it this weekend!
Love ur recap, thanks to ur recap I think i’m not going to watch ep16 because of the misunderstanding. Hate so much when Charles hurt Fah but instead hurt himself. I don’t like it when Fah is close with the doctor and always apologize to Prae.
Thank you so much for your detailed recap, it has made me less anxious because I have been refreshing wishy for the next parts if the episode. I watched it earlier today and did not understand a lot of the conversation. I do not know Thai but after a few months of watching lakorns, I actually understood some parts. There was so much bitterness and anger today. Hopefully the fainting scene will be tomorrow so we can see some sweet moments.
Thanks so much for your recap! We all really appreciate it! Can’t wait for episode 17! kekeke
@Nad thanks. You made my day too =)
@Mao thanks. Absolutely, there’s definitely no question how much of a B and willing Prae is to get Charles, even if she finds out Charle’s true colors. I have a feeling however, that the scene where Fah and Dr.Wattana is trying to prove to Pae is going to turn into something else.. we shall wait and see. As far as Charles character, he has to go through his own lessons in life about love and vindication. Is love really about blindly punishing someone for what they’ve done to you? Can you really teach someone a lesson by being ruthless and vindictive towards them? These are my concerns for Charles, a man lashing out in pain. Hopefully he’ll be taught a lesson too. Either way, I’m still team Charles haha.
@funnyzz thanks. Ep 16 wasn’t one filled with a lot of romance for Fah-Charles like ep 15, but I liked that it’s propelling the story/plot forward.
@w3irdg3m thanks. Watching lakorns is a great way to learn Thai!
@Lis thanks. I’m excited for ep 17 too =)
@Fia
I miss your blog! I just moved my whole house during Thanksgiving and was able to get to my my computer today 🙁
Between work and life I have fallen so behind on my lakorn watching schedule…now I rely entirely on your blog for updates to both RP and of course GRGR!!! I miss the spazzing and gushing and wanting to punch ‘Prae in the face. Oh the good times!
I should be back full force next week but I wanted to you know that I miss your blog and appreciate your updates and posts on my FAVE lakorn!
–Raiya
Am I the only one scratching my head at the stupidity of the “game” ? Don’t get me wrong the lead pair are cute and all and this is a slap and kiss lakorn but, sorry the “Prae and Charles” wedding plan just show me how much this drama could be better if the scriptwriting didn’t felt, how to put that, superficial ? Already the Saichon becoming Charles appeared unrealistic, then Prae break up with her boyfriend because of Charles, for the sake of making Prae “the bad bitchy N’rai” felt abrupt so the way this character was built didn’t flow well, Charles believing all Prae bullshit just for the sake of building tension/misunderstanding between the leads and bringing the “rape” sorry but I just don’t buy it. The saving grace of the lakorn is Yaya and Nadesh chemistry. I hope their next lakorn will be better.
I am not really watching this series, just some parts, because when I read the novel (not sure if we can call it novel, or just call it the story) I dont find this story well and smoothly written, there is something missing and not reasonable. but as I said, i am in love with your writing hahhaa, that’s why I will follow the recaps, I comment on this because I just wonder or wish if you was writing something abt Sawang Biang (sorry for taking abt SB on GRGR topic), it would be great I think…. but the lakorn was years ago….
@Raiya thanks. It’s so good to hear from you! I’m looking forward to you spazzing along with me again =)
@ASIA I can’t imagine that this lakorn will appeal to everyone, like you say, Yadech’s chemistry is the saving grace and to me, they make this lakorn worth watching. There is a lot of flaw in the logic and flow- especially how psycho and willing Chompoopae is to hurt her sister for Charles- but like any lakorn villain, she apparently doesn’t need any rhyme or reason. I’m still enjoying Yadech tremendously though and looking forward to Torrannee Ni Nee Krai Krong (their next endeavor.)
@Trang thanks. I love Sawan Biang too! In order to write something fresh about it though, I may have to re-watch it. =) Which is not a bad idea altogether. When things slow down, I’ll take a look at old dramas and see what needs an ‘in-depth’ review. Are you watching anything else in the meantime?
@Fia, I am so excited to hear you say that you consider watching and might write a review abt Sawan Biang. In the beginning I kind of not accepting the idea abt a man R a woman, and a leading man in a drama can act that way, but what i really like is the script writer did so great job to make me love the story, I mean, I love how she/he made the story realistic and reasonable, any detail has its own way to come out to support the story and the characters, of course I love the acting there also, so real, so gud…
for GRGR which I dont really like much but I have to say that the casts are just so so beautiful, and because they are quite too young, so they still have a lot of time to improve their acting…
one last thing, I forgot to tell you, I like your status(tag-line, or whatever) you put in every episode… hihi (sorry my English is just not gud)
@Trang, I’ve written a few entries on Sawan Biang on my blog, you’re welcome to check it out. 😉
@Fia, sorry to hijack your post (again). heeeh. I’m finally fixing up my wordpress blog because livejournal is driving me nuts (again) with its downtime.
@J, can you give me your blog address? luv to read and Thanks much
@Trang, http://blobofcolour.livejournal.com/ -> you can check out the ‘lakorn’ or ‘sawan biang’ tag. Livejournal is down at the moment so if the page doesn’t load for you, perhaps you can pop by tomorrow.
@Fia, seems like you’re enjoying today’s GRGR! Have fun with the recaps. I’ve had enough of fiddling with wordpress today so it’s good night for now. 🙂
@J, Thanks again
@Trang, oh indeed, pls check out J’s posts regarding Sawan Biang. She loves it just as much! I may not need to write one heeh. Her blog ‘Scribblings of a Fangirl’ is also featured under my ‘sensational site’ page.
@J OMG dearie!! You’ve converted to wordpress. *Doing a happy dance.* Going to follow you, pronto! Thanks for the follow BTW.
It’s been an exhausting weekend but still managed to get the recap out, albeit a little late lol. Next week serves to be another crazy one, friend. Going to Bali! So I may be MIA from Weds-Sat.. Can’t wait to read your first post on wp and finally comment on your lakorn 2011 post!
Have a good time in Bali dear~ Bali has been on my to-visit list for the past few years but somehow or other, I ended up on Thailand’s beaches instead. Hopefully I’ll get round to Bali sooner rather than later. XD
Thanks J, this will be my second time there =) to change your name, go to settings.
shucks, I haven’t figured out how to change my username to reflect J instead of my blog address. That’s me up there btw.
@J, as excited as I am about Bali, it also marks another year older for me, hehe. No qualms about birthday week in Bali though =P
ooh, happy birthday in advance then! Hope you’ll have a blast there at lovely resorts and beaches. Now you make me wanna run off for a short holiday too … work is making me sick. T__T
Any plans to drop by Singapore again?
Thanks J! Do run off for a short holiday, you definitely need one to stay sane and revived. No immediate plans to Singapore on the horizon, but I’m sure I would find myself there in the next quarter or even sooner, as it’s one of my favorite cities!
So are you all packed and ready for bali? 🙂 btw, was the most recent comment on my lakorn list post left by you? Doesn’t sound like you but the person didn’t leave a name so I’m not sure.
Hi J- Yes, packed and ready to go! But I’m sleeping late tonight as I have ep 13 RP to sub. After I’m done with that I can finally get some shut eye before flying off to beautiful Bali.
No, it wasn’t me. I saw that comment too. If it were mine, my list would be too long lol. I love your idea of the different categories of love it, like it, dropped it, etc. It’s going to take some time to write a comment lol so I’m going to wait until I get back =) hope you don’t mind.. What are you up to?
Lol, no problem, take your time with commenting. I’m too tired to concentrate on drama watching so I’ll probably call it a night early today. Have a good time in Bali! I’ll remember to ask you for recommendations when I get to go! ^^
Thanks J, will do! Have a fab week and I’ll chat with ya when I get back =)
I read you are leaving to Bali ? Oh have nice holiday and happy new year ! lol
Thanks Lilly! I’ve missed you, long time no see. Glad to see you back on the blog occasionally =)
