Province 77 was a terrible movie, I had to fast-forward to most of it.

"there has always been rape in Lakorns. A typical thai drama (not saying all) have the male lead rape the lead girl and she becomes pregnant and they fall in love. OR he rapes her to prove his love and then they work it out and then they fall in love. The evil side character gets rape occasionally. Personally, this is sickening. What is this saying about thai culture or rape in general? Clearly this is not ok, but yet thai drama makes rape seem OK! "

That pretty much summarizes it.. I really did not understand how could a woman ever forgive her raper... especially if she was virgin!!! this is not a thing to forgive even if later the raper apologizes... as you said thai dramas make rapes seems OK which is culturally/religiously/ internationally known as a BIG NO NO and INHUMAN :/

Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed this... I got interested in Thai drama after I saw Kaew Tah Pee.

Quick summary:
rich blind guy is waiting for cornea transplant (eye). Had one previous bad relationship where gold digger left him he was in love with her was so angry he drove the car too fast got glass shard in eye... that's why he needs the eye transplant
Anyways he goes off with a servant to some lost town for some piece of mind. School teacher gets on bus to said lost town. She was engaged to a bastard of a man who she was going to marry before she found out he was already married. She is so depressed she hops off the bus to kill herself. He saved her. She thinks he is poor fisherman. They get married rest of drama is about people trying to pull them apart.

In that drama there was a attempted rape scene but it was the bad guy not the male lead. The bad guy tried to rape her and then he tried his own niece. No one fell in love with him.

Then I watched Leh Rah Tree. OMG I thought I was watching a romance/drama/comedy but heck that rape scene and she gets pregnant from the rape scene and the evil dude also attempts to rape her.

Sawan Biang. Male lead kidnaps female lead because he is angry and got defamed by the female lead sister who also happens to be his step-mother. He kidnaps female leads, keeps her captive for a weekend at least, rapes her not once but FOUR times at least, physically abusive, emotionally abusive too. Female lead gets pregnant. In the end fall in love forgives him and they are happy together. I was baffled.

Someone also mentioned jam loey rak. OMG i was going to kill the male lead. I thought it was my bad luck to fall on thai drama where there was a rape scene with the male and female lead but heck.... This is very disturbing; this is saying well if the guy has anger issues, likes you but can't seem to speak (because apparently never learnt how....) it's ok for him to rape you then you can start feeling for me and if you are pregnant you marry him. I think I won't be watching anymore thai drama.....
