Bow See Chompoo (2004)

rape is not romance.

No visible rape tag- That hidden designation comes into play. I went in trusting. So, toxic. So, insane. The gossip-mongers, misunderstandings, betrayers and jealousy burying the maligned female lead until the male lead planned the rape and executed it. The rape is off screen. That is until the director used the full version as fond memories in later episodes as flashbacks. Rape is not romance, and doesn't belong in the romance genre. Avoid.

Note; there are two rapes in this series - The female lead's bestie and the female lead. Let me point out, sexual assault was given weight in the story between the women, but in the end both ended up in a relationship with their criminal attackers. And, what was supposed to be a strong female lead was essentially dumbed down to absolution of sins (undeserved) by her rapist in the last moments of the finale. Black, turns to pink? Please.

Chakrit in his younger days was so handsome!God how i love watching him on-screen!And his on-screen chemistry with Angie was totally on fire!This is also my first time seeing Angie on-screen and my my how she stole the show!SHE LOOKS ABSOLUTE GORGEOUS!Its also unique how right Pon was about Bo caring about money all the time when usually all the other praeks got it wrong.In this case Po did care about money,but she has reasons for it.She was never mean or being a bitch and her love for her sister and nephew was adorable and she totally stole my heart with how sweet and sassy she was!Pon totally falls for her against his will and even keeps the pink ribbon she gave him to stop his bleeding when he got hurt.Pon and Bo totally took over the whole lakhorn with their entertaining love-story!The cast also did a great job,even while the jealous neighbour of Bo was annoying she also made me laugh quite a few times.
