Original subtitles

BASED ON A NOVEL BY DOK MAI SOD

Just say you're jealous.

You're afraid I'll steal your girl, right?

No wonder a perfect girl like Anong doesn't want to be with you.

Why are they fighting about girls?

It would be wrong

if you tried to push Anong to be with your guy

only to get rid of me and Chut.

I'll move on if he doesn't want me.

You should come play again. I love listening to you play.

This is the first time I have a reason to want to come home early.

Why are you complimenting me all of a sudden?

Well…

Because it's true.

So what do you think? Are you interested in Wichai?

At this moment, I'm willing to marry whoever

that proposes to me first.

Mom is asking Sa-Ang to marry you

so you can be married next month.

I don't know if it's a coincidence,

but Chantorn just quit her job as well.

Is Wichai home yet? I don't want to wait long.

-Mom. -What?

Don't go see Lady Mayom just yet.

I think Chut ran away to Korat.

That's impossible.

Why would he go there?

Lady Mayom is having his transfer order revoked.

But when Chut left,

he said he was only going to work.

Chut ran away because he doesn't want to marry Sa-Ang.

No way.

Why would he do that? He seemed fine with the arrangement.

We'll have to go see Lady Mayom.

Mom.

Urai just told me that Chantorn ran away from home.

She asked whether Chantorn had come here.

What does she mean? Why would Chantorn come here?

Let's try to stay calm.

I'll go bring Chut back.

Cancel your appointment with Lady Mayom for now.

No, we have to go see her!

And why would that woman call us?

Calm down, ma'am.

Boi, get over here!

Boi!

-Bring me the car key! -Master!

Master, wait for me.

Here's the key.

The way is clear.

Keep going straight.

-Boi. Get in. -Yes?

-Hurry. -Yes, sir.

Why are you in such a good mood?

This is the first time I've believed in karma.

The guy who rejected me is about to get turned down.

He'll finally get what he deserves

for falling for the wrong girl.

You're enjoying seeing him suffer.

Auntie, I'm not a saint.

Can't I take pleasure in this?

The belief that you are superior to others

is considered a kind of vice.

Someday,

your evil thoughts will bring suffering upon you.

This is all I want to see happen.

I'll move on.

I won't let this person affect my life anymore.

Chantorn.

I'm so glad I got here in time.

This is for you. Please take it with you.

Thank you for coming to see me off.

At first, I wasn't going to tell anyone I was leaving.

I don't know why I told you.

I guess

I want to have someone to say goodbye to.

Wait. What's this?

Can I come with you?

We've been through a near-death experience together.

And we both made it out alive.

Let's live happily together.

Chantorn…

I'll leave my life in your hands.

I promise

to take care of you

as best as I can.

Boi, come on.

Master! Be careful.

I'm sorry. Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

Go and help me find Chut. Don't let him get on the train.

Hurry.

We won't let others make decisions for us anymore.

Has the train to Korat left yet?

It left just a moment ago.

Let's put our bags here.

Watch out!

Honey!

Get back!

Oh my gosh. He fell onto the track.

Please step aside, everyone.

Are you okay, sir?

Get up slowly.

Let me help you get up. Come on.

Get up slowly.

Thank you so much. Say thank you, honey.

Are you all right, sir?

It's okay, everyone.

There's nothing to see here. Move along now.

Wichai.

Did you resign from government service?

That's right.

I'm going to marry Chantorn.

I'm sick of trying to redeem Dad's name.

I'm done taking orders from people just to redeem our family's honor.

Have you thought this through?

Or do you want to get married just to escape your problems?

That's not it.

Even if Chut and I don't get married,

I'm ready to spend my life with him.

I've never realized that I had this option for myself.

Everyone treats marriage as if

it's the indicator of my success.

So are you addressing the problem or are you running away from it?

That's easy for you to say.

You didn't have to carry our family's hopes on your shoulders.

Please give us a moment.

What about love?

You didn't say anything about that.

Do you and Chantorn love each other?

We love each other.

Since when?

Before this, you only had eyes for Anong.

Anong loves someone else.

She doesn't feel the same way about me.

-Does Chantorn love you? -She does.

She had been waiting for me even when I was blindly in love with Anong.

But once Anong and I broke up, you became the problem.

She couldn't show her love for me since it might cause problems between us.

Are you saying that I'm the one standing between you two?

What about you?

Don't you think it's wrong to keep switching between girls?

I wouldn't have to do that if it weren't for you.

I stayed away from Chantorn and went after Sa-Ang because of you.

You left us no choice but to run away together.

If you could just accept that Chantorn doesn't love you

and stop chasing after her,

no one would've gotten hurt.

I'm here to beg for your forgiveness.

I want to ask for your permission to let Chantorn marry Chut.

What do you mean?

Chut was the reason Chantorn left home today.

He wants to take responsibility for what happened.

So I'm here to ask for Chantorn's hand on behalf of my brother.

But I heard that

Chut is to be engaged with the general's daughter.

That decision is up to Chut.

I've talked to both him and Chantorn.

They said they loved each other.

I really didn't see this coming.

I thought you were the one who was courting Chantorn.

But now you're asking for her hand

on behalf of someone else.

It's not that Chut isn't a good man.

I'm just worried for Chantorn.

She might not be able to keep up with him.

Before I make my decision,

I need to talk to my husband about this.

I need to discuss this with my family

before I can give you an answer.

You'll throw away your future because of a girl?

Who is this woman?

I won't approve if she's the reason you're fighting with Wichai.

I'm not asking for your opinion.

I'm just telling you that I'll marry her.

Hey.

You said you'd help redeem your dad's name.

Look how low you've fallen right now.

How could you stoop so low

as to agree to marry a wretched woman like that?

How can I show my face to anyone?

Mom.

When will you stop being so controlling?

It's embarrassing.

Can you take Nid with you? I don't want her to see this.

No good woman would want

a stingy woman like you as a mother-in-law.

Wichai, wait.

Listen.

Did you agree with all of this?

Don't betray me by asking another girl to marry Chut.

They love each other. I can't stop them.

Goodness. I didn't realize that you're the kind of man

who would betray his own mom.

Be reasonable, Mom.

Chut wouldn't dare do this

if someone didn't encourage him.

Are you jealous of your brother?

Do you want him to marry that tramp

to ruin his chance of ever becoming successful?

Why would I be jealous of Chut?

Because he's got everything that you want.

You couldn't become a soldier because you had to provide for him.

And you don't like that I try to find a good woman for him

because you want to have a better wife than he does.

That's why you went behind my back and humiliated me like this.

Do you think I'm happy doing this?

It's also difficult for me to see Chantorn marry Chut.

If she's so great,

why don't you marry her yourself?

Why did you let Chut get involved with a low-class woman like that?

I wouldn't object at all if it were you who married that cow.

Would everyone's life be better

if I was gone?

Don't you dare get sarcastic with me.

I'm just wondering.

If I'm such a bad person,

am I even needed here anymore?

You wouldn't mind if it were Wichai

who married that woman?

Just wait a minute.

What kind of mom talks to her son like that?

Isn't it a bit biased

to shower praises on one of your sons and tear the other to shreds?

And how is this your business?

Wichai is a modest man.

He actually deserves a much better life than this.

He deserves better than to be your emotional punching bag.

Why are you so angry about how I talk to Wichai?

I just think it's sad.

It's sad that no one appreciates him.

There's no one who is sincere to him.

You only think of yourself.

You and Chut are exactly the same.

Who do you think you are?

How dare you come here and speak to me like this?

Wichai is never jealous.

The ones who are jealous are the rest of us.

We can't stand to see him happy when we suffer.

If we're hurt, we have to make him feel hurt just like us.

I actually see myself in you.

Maybe

we are the ones

who don't deserve Wichai.

She spoke as if she was Wichai's wife.

Did she misunderstand something?

-Does Chantorn love you? -She does.

She'd been waiting for me even when I was blindly in love with Anong.

But once Anong and I broke up, you became the problem.

She couldn't show her love for me since it might cause problems between us.

Here's your ring, Dad.

I got it back for Mom.

WICHAI WARATHABUT

BANGKOK - SAWANKHALOK

There are tons of women out there.

Why must Chut marry the girl you like?

Chantorn and I are just friends.

If the two of them are really in love,

I can't stop them.

You let Chut take everything from you.

Haven't you given him enough?

I don't believe that Chut could love an ordinary girl like Chantorn.

You should steal her back.

Don't be crazy.

Do you want me to act dishonorably?

Wichai, come here.

Take a look at yourself.

You look like a walking corpse.

She's the girl you love,

yet you had to ask for her hand on behalf of your brother.

Then Mom yelled at you because of it.

Mom just loves Chut the way I love her.

And she loves me the way she used to love Dad.

This is why Mom and Chut are so alike.

-They're both selfish. -Don't blame Mom.

You can't force people to love you the way you love them.

For God's sake.

This is why

you always end up heartbroken.

You can't let Chut be with Chantorn.

I won't allow it.

Are Chut and Chantorn getting married?

Wichai bought a train ticket to Chantorn's hometown.

I think he planned to propose to her, but Chut beat him to it.

Did…

Did Wichai actually think about asking Chantorn to marry him?

He's been in love with her for so long.

He just doesn't want to show it

since he's a widower.

But isn't your mom

against the idea of having Chantorn as her daughter-in-law?

Mom blamed Wichai for bringing Chantorn

into Chut's life

when Chut was the one who chased after her.

Chantorn is just as bad.

She changes her mind like the wind changes direction.

I can't believe that she chose Chut over Wichai.

She's ready to give her heart to whoever that shows her love.

Those two aren't the kind of people who would die for love.

It's Wichai who would die for them.

He looks like he hasn't slept in days.

He must feel like exploding

from having to swallow his feelings.

And he can't be mad at Mom or Chut.

Wichai is the one who will die of a broken heart.

Should I set the table for dinner?

I'm not hungry.

Just eat without me.

Are you still thinking about Wichai?

One day, you'll realize that it might be your luck

to not get something you want.

It might lead you to meet someone better.

For today's Folk Law,

we'll be talking about dowries.

I have a letter from our listener with me, Wichai.

Prasit, turn off the radio.

It's okay.

I…

I want to hear what Wichai has to say.

The woman had the man give her money every month

as savings for their wedding.

But then the woman got pregnant with another man's baby.

So the man asked for all the money back.

As a result, he was branded

as a shameless coward.

Oh my goodness.

So tell me, Wichai.

Is there any way

that this man can get his money back from the woman?

What should the man do?

-Let me explain. -All right.

A dowry is actually a payment that the groom gives to the bride's family

whereas an engagement gift is given to the bride by the groom

as a promise of marriage.

If something happens that makes them unable to marry each other,

the groom can ask for the dowry or the engagement gift back

if it's the bride who breaks the promise.

They're talking about a love triangle. It's like rubbing salt in the wound.

What love triangle?

What are you talking about?

Chut just stole Chantorn from Wichai.

Wichai got stabbed in the back by Chut.

Anything given by one person to another voluntarily is considered

a gratuitous gift.

I have a question, Wichai.

Can we take legal action

against the person whom our partner cheated on us with?

In my opinion,

I think that

if a woman is unhappy

to be with me,

then letting that woman go

is what a gentleman should do.

Thank you so much, Wichai.

My gosh. What a saint.

That woman broke his heart,

but he still doesn't think badly of her.

He wants to make him sound like a good guy.

It's because he really is a good guy.

This is why Anong fell for him.

Anong.

Just forget what he said.

He can't even solve his own problems.

Let's go have dinner.

Anong.

Let's drive around town.

Stop getting upset over this.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey, Prasit.

I think it's him, Anong.

Prasit.

Prasit, what are you doing?

That's Wichai.

Don't call him.

Wait. Stop.

My sister is having a love problem.

Can you help her out?

You just got dumped too.

Maybe you can cheer each other up.

Come on.

Please look after Anong and take her home for me.

Prasit.

Have fun, Anong.

Thank you, Wichai.

Chut hasn't moved to Korat yet. He's now living at home.

Will Chut and Chantorn really get married?

Choy told you about that?

Will you really let those two marry each other?

Are you mad

that Chut has already moved on?

If a woman is unhappy to be with you,

you'd rather let her be with someone else.

Is that what you really think?

Or did you just want to sound like a gentleman?

If you can't be happy for others when they find happiness,

maybe the problem is you.

You might have to reflect on yourself

and think about why you're so upset to see others happy.

You can call me selfish.

I don't want anyone to be happy if I'm not.

Anong.

Anong, wait. Get back in the car.

It's about to rain.

Why would you let the girl you love be with someone else?

Aren't you afraid that people will call you a fool

for asking the girl you love to marry your own brother?

Do you think those two will be touched by your action?

Trust me.

Chut won't even think that you did him a favor.

I understand why you're mad.

Chut is acting like you mean nothing to him.

Chantorn betrayed you.

Anong.

No one owns anyone.

No one.

Everyone has the right to choose what's best for themselves.

I know it hurts.

Maybe it's because the one you love chose to love someone

who is inferior to you.

It hurts

because you and Chut keep siding with Chantorn.

What's so great about her?

Why do you want those two to be happy together?

Your ego

will turn a small issue into a big problem.

But kindness

can make any big problem seem like a small issue.

You need to let go.

Those two didn't fall in love just to hurt us.

If you stop thinking only about yourself,

you'll see that their love has nothing to do with outsiders like us.

Are you preaching to me right now?

If you want someone you love to be yours,

that's lust.

Though you don't get to have the one you love,

it doesn't mean that your love will disappear.

Your love for that person

is still there inside of you.

Are you still sane?

I don't understand.

Why do you let people hurt you over and over?

Even my own mom doesn't love her kids equally.

This is how I was raised, so I understand how these things work.

I'm not my mom's favorite child.

It taught me to learn how to live without love.

Not everyone

is worthy of being loved, Anong.

Am I right?

I see it now.

The reason you are this way

is because your mom

has brainwashed you.

The reason I've been so miserable

is because

I'm in love with a guy like you.

Are you okay?

Are you cold?

I'm starting to understand why I got my heart broken.

Now I feel like such an evil person.

It's no wonder the man I love rejected me.

I'm a selfish and egotistical person.

Who could love someone like me?

Why would you say that about yourself?

Because I'm a sore loser.

I can't stand being second-best to anyone.

Maybe it's Chut who is not good enough for you.

After everything that happened,

do you still think I regret letting Chut go?

You didn't get to be my sister-in-law,

but you can be like a little sister to me.

Are you sure about that?

I have a sharp tongue.

I'm narrow-minded and vengeful.

You don't mind that?

I don't.

Think of me as your brother from now on.

Anong.

Give me some time to think about it.

I already have a lot of brothers. I'm not sure if I want another one.

Anong, be careful.

Hey.

I'm glad you guys made up. Be careful, Anong.

The ground is slippery.

I'm starting to understand why I got my heart broken.

Now I feel like such an evil person.

It's no wonder the man I love rejected me.

I'm a selfish and egotistical person.

Who could love someone like me?

I've just realized

how despicable I am

in Wichai's eyes.

Did he say that to you?

I didn't actually say it.

But he made me realize that

Chantorn is better than me in every way.

This is getting out of hand.

I thought you two could finally be together

now that there's no more obstacle.

Even if he didn't have anyone,

he would still only think of me as his little sister.

He would never be interested

in being with a horrible woman like me.

Why are you all drenched?

You always work late and have no time to rest.

Is the money really worth it?

When you lived in the countryside,

your life was much more peaceful.

What did I ever do?

Why are you so nice to me?

I've never met anyone as pitiable as you.

I feel sorry for you.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing

that you're a judge.

Your life is so shitty.

Maybe it's better to be poor like me.

Thank you, Boi.

She was waiting for you to put her to bed and fell asleep.

I'll wake her up.

It's okay.

She can sleep here.

I should wake her so you can sleep comfortably.

I don't mind.

I wish I could sleep soundly like this.

Even my own mom doesn't love her kids equally.

This is how I was raised, so I understand how these things work.

I'm not my mom's favorite child.

It taught me to learn how to live without love.

Not everyone

is worthy of being loved, Anong.

Am I right?

How could he think that?

How did he turn out this way?

Everyone wants to be loved.

What did Urai say?

Did she agree to let Chantorn marry me?

She said she needed to talk to Luang Turakit first.

He's only Chantorn's brother-in-law.

He shouldn't have a say in this.

Urai has asked for you not to contact Chantorn

while she considers the proposal.

Try to prove to her

that you're willing to treat her sister with respect.

How long must I wait?

You quit your job so suddenly.

Now you're out of work.

It's up to you to prove to Urai that she can trust you.

You should be ashamed of yourself

for pressuring Wichai to get an answer for you.

What do you want?

How can you be so shameless?

Wichai gives you everything you ask for

and all you do is take and take.

It's not like Wichai could marry Chantorn himself.

I'm looking for Nid's birth certificate.

I remember I have a copy of it. I don't know where I put it.

-Nid's birth certificate? -Yes.

Why are you looking for it?

I have to take her to apply to a new school today.

I remembered that the school asked us to bring it.

I already took her yesterday.

You were really busy yesterday, so I took her myself.

Did you forget?

What's wrong, Wichai?

You're burning up.

You have a fever.

Wichai, why don't you rest today?

I was in the rain yesterday.

I'll go wash up and I'll probably feel better.

Right, Choy.

Can you bring me some medicine?

Wichai!

Wichai!

Wichai! Can you hear me, Wichai?

-Help! -Wichai!

Wichai! What happened?

He's burning up. Wichai.

Boi! We need to go get a doctor!

Wichai, can you hear me? Wichai.

You're scaring me.

Wichai.

Wake up, Wichai!

Wake up!

Nid.

What are you doing here?

Uncle Wichai is dying.

Wichai, wake up! I said wake up!

Wake up!

-Wichai. -Wichai.

-Wichai, please wake up. -Wichai, wake up.

Wake up, Wichai.

Please wake up, Wichai.

Wichai won't wake up.

What happened to him?

What happened to my son?

Wichai has to be okay.

I won't let anyone take my son away from me!

Go see how Wichai is doing and come tell me. Go.

-Please calm down, ma'am. -Hurry.

What happened?

Wichai passed out.

He's still unconscious.

Wichai.

Will he be okay?

My son cannot die before me.

You can't do that to me, Wichai.

Wichai.

Let's pray for him, ma'am.

-Wichai. -He'll be okay.

Please don't leave me, Wichai.

Wichai.

You cannot leave me.

You have to be okay, Wichai.

Wichai.

Wichai.

I've never been this scared in my life.

Wichai.

Please be okay, Wichai.

I won't be mad at you anymore even if you don't love me back.

Just live, Wichai.

It seems he's sustained damage to his nerves.

Several years ago, he wrote to consult with me about his neuropathy.

He was stationed outside Bangkok,

so he didn't get it treated.

The wounds on his body indicate that

he has muscle weakness in his legs and arms.

Doctor, does Wichai have a chance at recovery?

I can make a more detailed diagnosis once he regains consciousness.

He also has a fever.

We need to get his fever down.

My worry is that he might also have pneumonia.

Why did he let it get this bad?

Will Wichai wake up, Doctor?

His body is very weak, so his symptoms are taking a toll on him.

I'll leave him medicine and I'll come by every day.

Right now, I still can't say whether he'll make a full recovery.

Wichai.

Please wake up, honey.

Tell me if you're hungry or if you feel pain anywhere.

Tell me so I can help you, Wichai.

We're told to prepare for the worst.

Wichai may never fully recover from this.

Has Wichai woken up yet?

He just woke up this evening.

But he still can't get up.

He kept rambling on and on.

All the problems he was dealing with probably broke his spirit.

He talked as if he was about to die.

Can you get Luang Turakit here?

Wichai.

Why do you want me to get him?

I need to ask him to let Chantorn marry Chut.

If I'm gone,

Mom will never ask him.

Why would you worry about Chut?

You should think of yourself right now.

If I don't do it,

I won't be able to face Dad after this.

I promised him that I would look after Chut.

Stop worrying about Chut already.

Right now, you should focus on getting better.

I shouldn't be with anyone.

I know I'll live a short life like Dad

ever since I found out I have this disease.

I don't want anyone to suffer because of me.

I don't want anyone to be sad

once I'm gone.

Wichai believes that he won't live a long life,

so he doesn't let himself fall in love with anyone.

That's why he let Chantorn be with Chut.

He doesn't want to get attached to anyone.

I can't believe

that someone can be so selfless.

This world is so cruel to him

for hurting him this badly.

Having a niece

makes me realize

what it's like to have someone love you unconditionally.

Nid loves me when she doesn't even know what kind of person I am.

She loves me though I'm not her dad.

She has never left me.

Thank you so much

for letting her be in my life.

How could anyone not love someone like him?

Wichai should know

that there are so many people who love him.

It's like he has lost the will to live.

Both Chut and Mom have made him feel brokenhearted.

I don't know if it means anything.

Wichai tried to comfort me about Chut last night

when his heart was also in pieces.

He kept worrying about me

that I wouldn't be able to move on with my life.

What did Wichai say to you?

If you want someone you love to be yours,

that's lust.

Though you don't get to have the one you love,

it doesn't mean that your love will disappear.

Your love for that person

is still there inside of you.

I get it now.

I know now what you tried to run away from.

So you understand now

what it feels like to not have anyone love you.

"The person who gives love

is the one who must bear its weight."

I'll never forget that.

My life was like a living hell

because I had to live with that feeling.

I'm sorry I disappointed you.

Please forgive me.

The doctor said Wichai has peripheral neuropathy

which affects his motor functions.

So we don't know whether he'll be able to walk

once he wakes up.

Wichai got sick because of that girl.

Why are they in such a hurry to get married now?

I'll never accept her as my daughter-in-law.

I don't care what anyone else says.

They can't change my mind.

Thank you for being here.

Can you promise me

that you'll live a long life so that I can keep loving you?

You don't have to love me back.

Just stay with me and don't go anywhere.
