The final hour of Dujupsorn is upon us, ready or not. There is healing from generational promise and the feeling of opening a new chapter, a beautiful ending that captures the excellence of the gentlemen’s series from ten years ago to now. Let us proceed.

Episode 15 Final Recap

Wilairampa is furious about her daughter being shot and hits Khun Petch when he offers an apology. She expresses her despair, stating she can’t imagine life without her daughter, though Khun Petch assures her that Dujupsorn is safe. Later, when Khun Chavit addresses her as Aunt Rampa, she becomes distressed. She experiences a flood of memories and then hears a familiar voice—it’s Khun Chai Phee calling out to her, telling her he has come to take her home. Confused and upset, she questions why he has appeared now after all they have done to disrupt her life and now her daughter’s.

Dujupsorn slowly comes to due to her mother’s crying voice. Wilairampa questions why her love is deemed less significant than others’, and that they are only being nice to her because they want her daughter. Khun Chai Phee urges her to let it all go but Rampa insists that only victors have such a luxury, not those who have been defeated. Facing Khun Petch, she inquires why he would let Dujupsorn suffer for him if his affections were true. She challenges them to beg for Dujupsorn, questioning whether their pride would permit such humility. Khun Chai Phee contends that pride is inconsequential compared to his earnest hopes for her well-being, humbling himself on his knees, followed by the other Juthathep men. Rampa looks on, astonished, as Khun Chai Phee expresses his remorse and accepts blame for the pain caused.

Dujupsorn overhears Khun Petch expressing to Mom that Dujupsorn deeply loves her. He emphasizes the sacrifices made for her joy and pleads for forgiveness and understanding.

The nurse informed them that Dujupsorn had regained consciousness, prompting everyone to quickly gather by her bedside. Dujupsorn questioned her mother about her true affections, inquiring whether she ever genuinely loved her father, highlighting this as the reason her mother departed during her father’s final moments despite her pleas for help. She lamented never hearing any expressions of love from her mother towards her father. This gutted Wilairamp who tries to explain, but couldn’t. The doctor intervened and requested that everyone exit the room to avoid causing the patient further stress, while Khun Petch observed Dujupsorn’s distress from the doorway.

Khun Chai Phee expresses his concern for her well-being, noting that the generational promise made has led to unnecessary damage. He suggests letting go of past issues. Rampa is hesitant as she finds even expressing love to her daughter and husband challenging, believing that her daughter now hates her too.

Khun Jak claims that a person of influence is involved, but false evidence was created to blame Kosol, with no proof against Wiboon. Khun Petch questions if there’s concern over Wiboon’s persistence, and assures his younger cousin that he will handle the matter. Oh?

Key individuals in Chiang Mai convene at a meeting called by the Big Boss. It is clear the group place this individual on high esteem.. and as he comes into their purview.. it is Khun Petch! Ha, best reveal ever, but also, come again? I clapped in excitement. Can we get more badass Khun Petch? His demeanor softens so much around Dujupsorn that one might not recall his typically formidable presence.

Rampa attempts to reconcile with her daughter, but Dujupsorn turns away. Rampa questions if Dujupsorn despises her as well, fearing the prospect of losing the only person whom she loves. She confesses that since Dujupsorn’s birth, she has feared failing as a mother due to her propensity for mistakes. Without the example of a mother herself, she was unsure how to act. She apologizes for not being a better mother and seeks to address Dujupsorn’s question about her love for her dad. She loved him but only recognized this after it was too late. In a flashback, we find out that Rampa planned to reveal her feelings the same day her husband suffered a heart attack. The prognosis was dismal, giving him less than a year. She felt scared and thought he also betrayed her by passing first. Overwhelmed, she admits to needing more strength but acknowledges her human frailties. Rampa wonders if she will ever be comforted, protected since she’s been left by everyone. Oof.

Dujupsorn embraces her mother, vowing to stay by her side regardless of her mother’s love. Rampa declares her love for Dujupsorn, asserting that without her, life would be meaningless. Rampa asks if Dujupsorn loves Khun Petch very much? Her daughter nods and the two put their heads together and reconciled.

Upon Rampa’s return to her room, she finds the Juthatheps gathered there. Khun Petch kneels before her and extends an invitation on behalf of the Juthathep family for her to come back to Dwewaprom’s Palace.

He requests permission to care for her daughter and vows to protect her with his life. But Rampa interrupts him, insisting that no more promises should be shared between the two families. From now on, he must demonstrate his commitment through actions instead of words. She confesses that she has never trusted in mutual love, as she’s never experienced it herself, and she doubts the sincerity of men’s words. However, her daughter loves him, and she asks if he will make her daughter happy. He agrees not to make any promises but rather to earn her trust with his deeds. Rampa advises him to show kindness to her daughter who has faced much suffering due to her mother’s frailty. It’s also imperative for him to prioritize his own well-being; she stresses that dying before her is painful since enduring loss is hard. Khun Chai Yai responds with reassurance that he will care for Dujupsorn and that he plans to go to Dwewaprom to formally request her hand in marriage for Khun Petch. Khun Poom tells everyone to clap for the happy occasion. Khun Chat is concerned when he notices Rampa’s hand tremors.

And yay finally our duo time!

Following the events that unfolded, they exchange silent glances full of love. With a tender smile, he softly brushes away her tears. In a caring gesture, he draws her hand to his cheek and strokes her face with his other hand, declaring his love for her. Overcome by emotion, they rest their heads together, and he places a kiss upon her hand. Words are unnecessary for the profound depth of their feelings is palpable. Swoon.

Upon her arrival at Dwewaprom’s palace, Wilairampa is warmly received by the family. They take a moment to reflect on old times, with Marathee expressing remorse for not heeding the counsel of their elders. Rampa questions her sister’s decision to consider an engagement between her daughter and Chai Pat’s son, confessing that she would struggle to accept a union with Chai Phee’s relative. Despite this, Marathee emphasizes the importance of their children’s happiness, suggesting they must embrace their errors and learn from them. While Rampa openly admits to not despising them, being amicable remains a challenge for her. Addressing Rampa with a heartfelt apology, Marathee admits to feeling responsible for the most significant harm done, believing she had ruined Rampa’s life profoundly, leading them all to share a tearful moment. Nicely done.

Ploy and Khun Chavit get engaged in a cute way with the family in on it, rushing Chavit to put on the ring in case Ploy changes her mind. LOL.

Khun Chai Yai visits Piangkwan and mentions that he can’t take Rampa under his care without Piangkwan’s agreement. Piangkwan acknowledges their troubled past and her inability to get along with Rampa, who previously put the blame on her and have tried to harm her children. She admits she cannot bring herself to like Rampa but doesn’t want to exclude Juthathep and recognizes that Rampa has already faced enough challenges. Piangkwan is okay with the arrangement and is no longer jealous over her husband. However, Chai Phee jests that he still feels jealous when others gaze at his wife for too long. Khun Chai Yai rolls his eyes. Ha.

The boys once again celebrate with milk and playfully jest with Khun Poom for not contributing, yet Khun Poom reminds them that without him, they wouldn’t be a couple. Khun Petch jokingly claims that he would have fathered two children by now. LOL.

Khun Chat expresses his concerns to his dad about Rampa’s ongoing recovery. Rampa appears to be concealing her sickness to avoid causing concern, particularly her noticeable hand tremor. They conclude that to address her ailment effectively, they must uncover the root cause of her condition. The scene then shifts to the great grandmother.

Rampa arrives at Juthathep and takes it all in. Everyone is there to receive her, welcoming her back to the palace. But when great granny arrives, Rampa is visibly shaken.

Chai Pat observes Rampa’s reaction upon encountering great granny. She looks affected and then she loses consciousness. The Juthathep men begin to suspect that great granny might be the root cause of Rampa’s state.

Rampa considers switching granny’s medication like she tried to do last time, but stops herself in time. She tells herself not to do it again. Granny sees her putting away the medicine bottle and dismisses the maid from the room, hoping to have a private talk with Rampa. The emotions and the energy in the room is heightened.

Rampa questions why her grandmother, who raised her, would abandon her and chastise her publicly, a moment imprinted in her memory by the judgmental stares of the Juthathep family. She remembers being nurtured by her grandmother with the promise that she could one day marry Chai Phee. Overwhelmed by emotion, Rampa has a violent outburst, clutching a shard of a broken vase. Her grandmother can only offer apologies and assurances of her love. Rampa retorts that she felt unloved once she was no longer an asset to her grandmother’s familial connections, feeling cast out harshly. Amidst shared tears, Granny strives to stand and repetitively apologizes; Rampa eventually releases the shard of glass and, through her tears, hears Granny express her sorrow over Rampa’s absence. A plea for Rampa to return is met with a heartfelt embrace.

Khun Petch and Dujupsorn watch from the doorway, touched.

Rampa hands over her daughter to Khun Petch, and his father states that P’Chai Yai (oldest brother) need not always make sacrifices. Aw.

They embrace tightly, and I die. So incredibly sweet. Best hug ever. Of course, Khun Poom starts clapping. And I start clapping too, happy tears all around.

In the presence of the five monkeys plus Khun Poom, Dujupsorn thanks them but also apologizes to Khun Jak and Khun Poom for what she did. Khun Poom pulls out a ring box and says Khun Petch’s mom wants Khun Petch to have this. Omo.

Khun Petch asks to propose in private but the five monkeys emphasize time is of the essence.

Funny enough, when Khun Petch is about to open the ring box, Dujupsorn apologizes, which makes everyone wonder what’s happening. Khun Petch raises his eyebrows in confusion.

Dujupsorn apologizes for approaching him with ill intentions. She is sorry for being so tight-lipped when he asked her if she loved him. OMO.

She tears up, gazing in his eyes and finally gets to say, “I love you.” Kyaa!

She adds that he was the only one she loved and it has always been him, and that she will love him forever.

This deserves applause as she has longed to express her feelings for Khun Petch, and now she finally has the chance to voice them.

Khun Petch grins, and gently takes her hand. Without speaking much, because he has already spoken what was needed, he utters the one phrase she could hear endlessly, “I love you too.”

He puts a ring on her finger and they embrace in front of the cheering cousins. Their hugs are the best, swoon!

Time speed up for a bit as we see their wedding photos. Khun Petch peers at her from across the room and wants to know what she is thinking. Dujupsorn grins and walks up to him, she says life works in strange ways, who would have thought she would end up at Juthathep palace. All along she thinks it is the evil witch’s lair. Khun Petch teasingly pinches her cheek and says this princess did not come looking for love, she came looking for revenge. Gah, so cute. He takes her face in his hands and kisses her dearly.

As a closure to the most adorable duo’s story, the coworkers celebrate their happily ever after with a cute photo op. Ridiculously cute, I love them.

Comments

What can I say, that was just beautiful. As the penultimate series of Dwewaprom, it felt like a finale of the whole series because it resolved a major conflict. It leaves me wondering how they’ll conclude with the last episode of Poncheewan, I’m surprised there is no handoff to the final series. I think I’ll watch the other stories to see more of Khun Petch as P’Chai Yai. However, I suspect this show will be tough to top.

The reunion of characters from the Gentlemen series, now as parents watching their children find love, was delightful. It was refreshing to see Rampa’s perspective, showing her human side amidst her flaws, and her journey towards forgiveness. The narrative was excellently penned, portrayed, and directed, making it highly engaging. Indeed, it has been some time since I’ve found a lakorn so enjoyable that I wished it wouldn’t conclude. The drama was well-balanced, maintaining ongoing conflict without overdoing it. The lead actors gave commendable performances, and I’ll be going down the rabbit hole of Peak-Mint.

The character Khun Petch is what kept me so captivated, my kind of hero. His romantic storyline with Dujupsorn had me coming back for more, leading me to write this series of recaps. An experience I can revisit through reading and viewing long after the show is over. Thanks for joining me!
