A Modern, Tear-jerking Adaptation

I've finished the whole drama ever since I got intrigued by the original literature, "Khun Chang Khun Phaen". When I watched the drama for around 1-2 episodes per day (depending on the mood), I enjoyed it but sometimes I got irritated with Wanthong's character. I couldn't blame her because she gets hurt by a man's ego. The one thing that I liked the most is the ending, though there's a change from the original literature, in which the King implements the laws of gender equality and divorce. I've learned about some of the supporting characters there, especially Kumanthong, which exists in Thai culture and folklore. And as a Filipino who loves Thai culture and entertainment, somehow I loved the series with all my heart. Chakrit's antagonist acting (I first saw him in "Rong Raem Phi" but without subs) as Khun Chang is so good along with Nawat Kulrattanarak (TBH he's my Thai favorite actor since I saw him in "Songkram Nang Fah". Also, I do writing original with him as one of my main leads on my own and as a visual representation of the character) as Khun Phaen. Overall, this drama would become a timeless memoir for me.
