Mhom Ped Sawan - Episode 1

Unfortunately, there are no English subtitles for the drama yet but that's not going to stop me watching. 😅

Mhom Kham (Tubtim Anyarin) and Mhom Sut (Film Cherlisa) are both consorts to the Prince of The Front Palace.

This is a practice Thailand used to have where they would technically have two kings. The main one and the "The Front Palace," king, usually a brother or son of the main king. Sometimes translated as a Viceroy. They were the most powerful person after the main king.

The story seems to start with both Mhom Kham and Mhom Sut entering the palace to serve the king and then there is a little montage of their growing friendship.

Mhom Kham ends up being given the job of head cook, preparing food for the Prince, his Official / First wife Princess Darawadi and their son.

This gives her a privileged position that I suspect some of the other consorts envy. (In this time it was common for men, especially royalty to have many "wives." King Rama the 3rd, the "main king," ruling in this time had 51 children from a whole harem of consorts!)

The ladies in pink and yellow instantly clock how close our two protagonists seem and so you can consider them the likely thieves of lesbian joy.

The Prince of the Front Palace has died, his wife is sad, the consorts are sad, everyone has to wear white.

With no subs, I can only make an educated guess but it seems like the two mean consorts really have it out for Mhom Kham.

As an aside, I am already in love with Mhom Sut. I mean - look at her 😍

Then we cut to a dance show being performed outdoors, which seems to be a performance of Kaeo the Horse-Faced Girl, a famous Thai tale and Prajong (Max) turns up to spoil the party, managing to bump into Khwan (Kaownah) like this ⬇️

Which has the audience and me like this 😏

I think he's telling them off because they shouldn't be performing a dance when the Front Palace Prince has died but they didn't know he had died and Khwan's dad (played by Phraya Bodisorn of ManSuang) seems really shocked and sad about it.

Khwan is ready to fight Prajong for being mean to his dad though but there are already vibes between them although Prajong and his bro laughed at Khwan for his cute outfit which was a dick move, we can all see that you like it really Prajong!

Khwan is feisty though and really cute in his dance so I hope they give us plenty more dance scenes 🙏

🪷

The rest is Princess Darawadi probably telling her son that he is the man of the house now.

I suspect the consorts might be sent away, perhaps to serve other families but without the subs I am only guessing.

Hopefully they won't make us wait too long before they add some, I did read they were planning to include subs but there is often a delay with Thai dramas so all I can do is wait and hope that they eventually appear.

I literally just tagged OP in a post about this cause I thought it was weird I found through other sources. Turns out I just needed to scroll down a bit 🙃.

Mhom Ped Sawan - Episode 2

The thieves of lesbian joy are still at it, trying to screw Mhom Kham over every chance they get.

But Mhom Kham is not taking it lying down 🔪

Princess Darawadi is still holding it together as the mourning rituals for her husband continue

Khwan continues to be adorable 🥹

Here he is basically saying "if you're going to talk shit about me do it to my face na!"

Obviously Prajong is charmed by this, who wouldn't be?

We get quite a few dance practice scenes, which pleases me greatly 😌

And then, an amazing almost four minute scene of the dance troupe performing a scene from Sang Thong (which I've talked about just a couple of times before as we see that dance showcased in ManSuang too 😅)

Khwan is playing Rochana, the love interest of Sang Thong, shown with his iconic mask here. The drama was reworked by King Rama the 2nd so it's believed to have been very popular in this time period which is only a little later as King Rama the 3rd is now reigning.

You can see the piphat orchestra as well as the dancers and the group of people who have shown up to participate in the mourning rites for the Front Palace Prince.

These were very elaborate and go on a long time, a year or more in the case of royalty.

Mhom Ped Sawan - episode 4

Mhom Kham is super sad because Mhom Sut gave such a great poetry recital that she fears Princess Vilas plans to take her away.

The other women are spying on them because they have nothing better to do.

But Mhom Sut is having none of their nonsense. She's clearly annoyed their tender moment is being intruded upon. 🦵

Prik is reunited with Prajong's friend Man, they are either childhood sweethearts or VERY close siblings...the lack of subtitles is causing me to struggle a bit here 😅

Ueng, a woman who seems low down in the hierarchy of the woman's palace quarters makes a sudden play for Prik's attention which does not go well.

She takes this rejection pretty badly until she is told off by Suwan, acting on behalf of the princess.

Turns out Princess Vilas does want Mhom Sut but it seems like she's bringing Mhom Kham too? So yay...I think? 😅

Certainly they leave together and arrive to see the princess as a pair.

Pretty shots ✨

The thieves of lesbian joy are still about, being bitchy and also clearly gay for each other 😆

Mhom Ped Sawan - episode 5

The girls start out real happy because princess Vilas agrees to take both of them to her palace.

But obviously this can't last 🙃

Kaew (one of the thieves of lesbian joy) tells Princess Vilas that Mhom Kham and Mhom Sut are lovers, thinking to shock the princess.

But her plan backfires when queen of the sapphics tells her

"people who love each other are not disgusting, but people who do not know their place, who do not know right from wrong, those are the people I despise!"

While her girlfriend (Suwan,) looks on!

There is definitely some jealousy about the news, troublemaker Ueng protests that they don't need any more cooks or something like that but the lack of subtitles means most of it is lost to me.

Mhom Sut gets bold with Mhom Kham 🥰

Only for Mhom Kham to put a stop to things 💔

They fall asleep together but in the morning Mhom Sut wakes to find Mhom Kham gone and she is heartbroken 😭

Mhom Kham has left her a shawl to remember her by?

My poor Mhom Sut 🥺🥺

We learn via flashback that Mhom Kham gave Mhom Sut a kiss goodbye so she does have feelings for her.

I assume she left in case the rumours about them cause a scandal.

Dramatic lesbians are dramatic.

Mhom Kham goes back home to see her father where she learns that opium bandits are causing chaos in her village.

Prajong spends most of the episode looking like this at his unrequited crush who is also bummed out by Mhom Kham's disappearance.

I haven't seen my baby, Khwan for two episodes and I MISS him 🥹
