This nang'ek meets her pra'ek when she's like half his height, lol. Yeah, she is still a kid. He is a grown-up. According to synopsis, they'll meet again when she gets legal:) Only weird thing being, pra'ek is Porche Saran Sirilak, mere 3 years older than Nao Tisanart. She is a nang'ek completely new to me. While poor Porche... Looking at his dramalist, so far I barely liked any of his lakorns (perhaps his very debut 'Look Khon'?) rated it average at tops, mostly below average, or dropped it as unwatchable. And this one is period, that's not my favorite. So far, not promising.

I started watching... Decided to stick around at least till the grown-up nang'ek shows up. Before that, Porche Saran Sirilak shows up wearing the historical clothes, looking rather comical in those.

It takes 4 (movie-long) episodes to happen. It's always kinda risky to prolong having the child actress on, for she might actually be more likeable than the grown-up one, and the audience shall miss her:) It also happens quite often that the same character who as a child is very smart, turns into very stupid adult. As I did really fall in love with the kid nang'ek, by that time I no longer wished Nao Tisanart to appear... Nevertheless, she portrays a girl who's got praek's tender protectiveness since many years:)

Also, there is a guy who often gets drunk and tries to rape any pretty girl living near him (Off Chanapol is shirtless large amount of his screentime, and it turns out that's something wiewers could have been spared of). His own sister is married to that monkey but he's got no respect for his brother-in-law (besides being a drunkard, he's also a coward who flees from the battlefield). Then the sister dies and the more dangerous he gets...

Porche's character is a soldier destined to leave his home often with his army. Plenty of time he can't be there for his nang'ek. Her childhood nanny/friend is therefore more important character than usual, as pra'ek is often absent. When they ARE together their scenes are cute, though the style of hair-combing Porche was wearing (actually almost all the males in this drama were wearing it... I'm sure for a reason) made him look funny at all times. He marries nang'ek very early after meeting her again. Mostly because he's concenred about her safety, as she is unprotected and he therefore wishes to give her status of his wife to shield her even when he is not around.

Their wedding night is interrupted, though... Because he needs to leave for battlefield immediatelly:) There is a funny scene where he gets to see her naked upper body to have at least something to take with him on his journey, lol. Nevertheless, this way at least the girl isn't fated to get pregnant so soon in her tender years. She passes her time with her beloved grandma, who is withering away, trying to pass as much knowledge on as she still can...

I think it a success I haven't dropped the series early, as this really isn't my cup of coffee. Nevertheless I arrived to that point by episode 10. The runtime is LONG, mostly Porche is absent but when he's not it's not better, it's worse. I don't see any good actor in this, more importantly any character I would care about.

The battle of Bang Rajan (or Bang Rachan) might be a great historical event but that's not what we watch here. It's a typical cheap tv production that looks like it was made on someone's backyard and if someone would absent-mindedly take a cell phone out of their pocket I would not be least surprised, lol. But mostly I find it all boring or mildly annoying. I finished 10th episode with great self discipline but now I'm moving to something else to watch.
