My thoughts on Chakri getting shot are below. Do not read unless you want a semi-spoiler. Nothing that isn't contained in the coming attractions plus my take on it given that I've read the novel.
I am watching ep 10 rn and man this went so downhill. ngl there is actually no chem between the leads. it's just…
Don't forget that when he went to Emmaly they already had his outfits picked out for him. I think the fact that they were more feminine than Ramil's is due to the difference In stature between Jimmy and NuNew. Can you even picture 6'4" Jimmy In those get-ups?
And the outfits in TNP don't hold a candle to NuNew's concert outfits. The TNP outfits are positively butch by comparison.
Even kimkenta had more screentime. Miraava got no development.
I don't remember there being much development between Ava and Mira in the book, but at least she was of age in the book. The actress playing Ava in the series was only 16 years old when they started shooting. She's 17 now.
And Kim and Kenta got more screen time but not really as a couple. Didn't realize that Kenta was so built until the last episode. 😮
With just two episodes remaining, I’m hoping the penultimate one neatly ties the plot together, leaving the…
If my prediction is right this was the penultimate episode. The next episode should be about the future of Emmaly and how they decide to rule with more equality and more transparency.
There really isn't much left to the book outside of the special chapters. So I would expect the next episode to be around the same length as this one and the final one longer.
The last four chapters are really about Khanin and Charan's romantic future, Khanin's reunion with Thatdanai and how he has both of his fathers in his life, and also resolution of Ramil/Paytai and Calvin/Jay.
honestly this episode was really interesting. We already expected a lot from the preview but it was still very…
Since you read the book, you know that Chakri wasn't even shot much less killed in the book.
My take on it is that it's another case of the dialogue not matching what they're doing in the scene. Don't forget that Charan and Khanin both lost their mothers on the same day. So maybe that's who they are visiting in the graveyard.
It would be a very bad decision to kill Chakri off for the mere reason that he is the most likable character in the series. Even people who hate this series love Chakri.
I'm not sure that Chakri is dead. Sometimes they mix up scenes with dialogue to make it seem like they are visiting…
Chalkri doesn't die in the book.
But I remember an early scene where Charan tells Khanin in the coming attractions that he doesn't realize how much he means to him. And that doesn't happen until much later in the cave scene.
It's kind of a common thing that I've seen in Asian dramas in the past, not to mention in Domundi dramas.
Now I could be wrong. But my hope is that they did not kill off Chakri. It would be a bad move.
Close to 3 minutes dedicated to the "previously on" recap leading into today's episode... I don't recall…
That's because this is the chapter in which the story comes to a head. So all the previous highlights were ones that had an impact on today's story. Some people just don't remember what happened from episode to episode.
This was a very short episode. but there isn't that much to the rest of the story before the special chapters, so I'm hoping my speculation that they will wrap up everything to the end of the book in the next episode is correct. And episode 14 will deal with Khanin and Charan's romantic future. In the book there was some additional information about the ongoing relationship between Ramil/Paytai and Calvin/Jay
I'm not sure that Chakri is dead. Sometimes they mix up scenes with dialogue to make it seem like they are visiting one grave when they're really going to another. I'm hoping.
In the book both Charan and Khanin's mother's died on the same day. Maybe they were visiting their graves. That is explained in the book but not in the series. Charan's mother was one of the royal guards that was protecting the sabotaged car that Khanin's mother was riding in.
What? The king does not even know that Wirun's sister married Wasin?
That's because of the king doesn't GAF about any humans. He only cares about power. Even Khanin is no more than a tool to help him retain it since he's dying of cancer.
This episode is very different from the novel even if the essence of the outcome is more or less the same.
I literally don’t get it, if the series is already shot and completed how 16.07 is the last day of shooting???
No one wins the competition. There is another attack during the fencing match in the book. I believe that in the series that's going to happen in the next episode during the archery match.
Khanin, Ramil and Ava decide that nobody should rule Emmaly that they should do it collectively and publish information about interstate commerce and budget matters online for everyone to see for the sake of transparency.
Below there are two very long spoiler posts that explain this in more detail.
Cliff notes version is the king was dirty he was stealing product from the other three territories to keep the power in Assavadevathin.
He was responsible for Charan's mother's death and the death of Wasin's wife and child.
King winds up in prison. Wasin kills himself.
Rachata also winds up in prison.
Both Charan and Khanin were in the middle of all this when it happened and were traumatized afterwards. Parted for a short time but of course they wound up together in the end.
The last four chapters are what happens in their personal lives after the events. So that's more or less fluff, and I have no idea if it's going to be included in the series.
If they wrap it up to the end of the novel in episodes 12 and 13, I think there would be time for those four chapters in an hour and a half finale. We'll have to see.
For those really interested in Zeenunew romance I think it would be better if they did include the last four chapters, or did a special episode afterwards like they did with Cutie Pie 2.
Cutie Pie 2 was way too long and should have been a single episode. So if they don't include the last four chapters in the TNP series they should just do a single special episode like they should have done for Cutie Pie.
And the outfits in TNP don't hold a candle to NuNew's concert outfits. The TNP outfits are positively butch by comparison.
