4 Elements : The Water- EP 3 UNCUT

I don't know any of the history on this show I just knew it was the 4th thing I seen Enfa and Charlotte in together only seen FB in GAP and saw Loyal Pin after watching 4 elements

Also I get hungry watching like 70 percent of gls on time they were making washing detergent from scratch and looks delicious. I need help.

Hey great reaction I know we are in agreement but no one could change my mind now whether she’s known the whole time or whether her little sis told her the information she knows but because she’s already fallen for her she wants to give her a chance. I think it would break her heart if lada did anything against her.

I 100% agree with you that Nam knows! I mean even if Nam does help them idk if ladas mom would go with lada. That whole conversation in ep 1 with the mom showed that the mom really doesn’t mind being in that position and just wants to show her gratitude. Idk I could be wrong. I don’t think lada did anything , I’m really hoping she asks someone to redo the dish or something :/ I mean she might see the dish they kept talking about the whole Ep and change her mind idk 😭😭😭

That scene between Nam and Lada in the clothing shop was everything. I loved how Nam tries to give Lada a chance to do the right thing even after knowing who she is and why she is at the hotel. I have a feeling Nam night have known about who Lada is from the beginning, the other cousins all say that Nam is the genius in the family and she has full access to Lada’s employee file.

This episode was perfect. I loved the fact that it's obvious Nam knows who Lada is, but instead of coming at her aggressively or accusing her of anything, she gave her the choice to do the right thing on her own. You could see that Lada was conflicted because she knows what her brother asked her to do is wrong, but she also wants to protect her mother. Some of their moments made me forget I was watching a series because I've seen Engfa and Charlotte do those same gestures for one another over the years

Episode 3 start with Preem at work while being sick; Lada – now dressed in white – sends her to the doctor and then home, arguing that Apo wouldn’t approve if she knew she were working sick and eventually, she accepts Lada taking over for her and leaving for the doctor. Lade uses the opportunity to check up other reports as well to see whether the Watin Group played fair and square there, but Nade thinks she’s just convincing herself that not telling her brother about Chef Ian was actually a good idea. But Lada firmly denies it, but Nade remarks that if her dad found out that she was secretly working for the Watin group, he would eat her alive, let alone if she fell for Apo… …who just arrived at her desk. Lada asks her if she’s worried about work. Apo doesn’t reply but requests that she pass along the work that she did instead of Preem to her to check it. Later, Apo tells she doesn’t trust to do Preem’s job alone. Apo asks her to wait for her to finish reviewing the documents. So, she wait for quite a while even though her shift is already over for some time, until Apo tells her that all is fine, and she can go. But she doesn’t leave yet, instead, she goes back to Apo to give her the eyedrops that Prem gave her, and she take over the job of administering the drops herself. Then, a phone call gets them back to reality, and its Preem who is checking up on herm but Apo already approved her work, Lada claims, she all there is to do for her is resting. Apo tells her again that she can leave, but Lada wants to see if there is anything that she can help her with. But Apo claims it’s something she has to decide herself, and not the secretary’s assistant. But Lada wants to know anyway, and promises she won’t get in the way. Apo has narrowed the dishes from chef Ian for the campaign down to three, but they can pick only one of them as the signature dish. Lada find all of the delicious (which Apo understands because she almost ate them all at the meeting last episode 😉), but if she has to choose one of them, she would pick the seafood bucket. Apo argues it’s too simple, but Lada thinks chef Ian can make this simple dish special and memorable. Lada asks her about her own preference, but Apo is not telling her, so she excuses herself. Lada goes home wondering if she finds a cab at this hour, but Apo picks her up and takes her home, and she wants her to drop her off at the noodle place near her flat, because she is hungry and won’t be able to sleep without dinner. She invites her to join her but Apo denies the offer, which doesn’t surprise Lada. She thanks her for taking her home, but Apo claims it was on her way. As she gets out , the noodle shop has only a few customers and Lada orders a noodle soup and sits next to a couple of guys that are interested in the pretty lady in a uniform. Lada texts Nade as she waits for the food and claims that she is lucky Apo didn’t run into Pat at her place. But Apo joins her asking her to cover her legs with her own jacket from the leering eyes of the guys as she takes place opposite her. Lada orders a soup for her as well, because Apo doesn’t like spicy food, as she noticed when they were eating with chef Ian. She is paying attention, just as Apo was when she covered her legs, and joined her for dinner knowing very well that she doesn’t like to eat late. Apo mentions that the amount of salt in this soup probably exceeds the recommended daily dosage for humans, and Lada asks her if she’s worried about her, but Apo simply mentions that should anything happen to her, the hotel still has to pay for her welfare. Then, Lada rolls up Apo’s sleeves to prevent them from getting stained by the soup, and throws the welfare excuse right back at her. After eating the soup, Apo can go she asserts, but Apo wants to drop her off at her home. Lada wants to know if she fears those men sitting next to her might do something to her. And Apo asks whether she will let her drop her off if Apo admits that she’s worried. Later, Lada thinks about this exchange of words as she steams her uniform, while Apo is coming home, also thinking about her. And both smile. 😊 The next day, Lada is at work thinking about Apo, as Preem arrives who is better, Apo has told her that she has a meeting with her father and might not come in that day, so she will take change. Apo has already decided on the signature dish and instructed Preem to get it done. Adison wants to know if Apo is thinking about Lada, Apo is not inclined to answer that question but Adisorn tells her that the Watin group doesn’t have any debts, so she doesn’t need to work hard in order to pay off those debts. But Apo argues that they recently beat the Wachara group in the land auction and doesn’t think their competitor will just sit idle and watch them rake in all the profits from their hotel and resort. Adisorn argues that life isn’t just about work, and he doesn’t want her to end up like him – alone. He wants her to not let a chance to keep those she loves and cares for close to her pass. But Chonlada is just a colleague, she argues. So, she doesn’t feel anything for her, he asks. He won’t bother her with that topic again, but remarks that Lada told him as well that she doesn’t like Apo, and adds that he actually didn’t want to talk to her about this, cause it would make him look immature. But maybe he should encourage Lom to pursue Lada, he remarks. Apo claims she can’t – she’s such a nuisance. Adisorn told Lada that being a workaholic is her biggest flaw, hat states – but Lada didn’t agree and actually like that trait. And she made him feel that she truly understood those who are obsessed with work. She might not believe him now, but if one day she meets someone who can make her heart flutter, that person is someone she must cherish for life. At night, Apo is walking through her hotel as she runs into Lada, and she wants to know why she is still her after her work is done. But Lada wanted to wait for her in case she returned. Apo wants to know what she want to talk about, but Lada gets a phone call from Nade, whom she will call back once she arrives home, she promises. As she hangs up, Apo tells her she has work to do, and she can wait until she is finished or go home if someone’s waiting for her. Lada wonders what made her mood change so quickly and what is wrong with her. Apo waits for four hours until she steps out of the office again, and notices Lada has fallen asleep at her desk. She thinks Lade can just sleep anywhere and prevents her from falling of her chair, and as Lada snuggles her she remember her father’s words: if one day she meets someone who can make her heart flutter, that person is someone she must cherish for life. Then, Lada awakes, and Apo retreats asking her what she wanted to talk about. But Lada has just ordered room service, and invites her to join her for dinner again, arguing the who would dare to talk to the boss while eating, which gets Apo to ask if there’s anything she still doesn’t dare. Lada then peels her some shrimp claiming that is some lovers do for each other – but she’ll make an exemption for her boss. Apo tells her to keep it for her lover, then, but Lada admits that she has no lover so far, so she does it for Apo in the hope for more bonus. Apo tries once again to confirm that she’s single, but Lada wonders why she is asking and if she wants to ask her out. But Lada is just kidding and doesn’t want her salary to get smaller for joking as she barely can make ends meet as it is. Apo then peels a shrimp for Lada, which gets her to ask if Apo is showing off that she can do it better. But she doesn’t just want to owe to anyone. Lada thinks she takes everything in life aways so seriously – even food, and Apo asks her if this makes her uncomfortable. No, but challenging, she replies, and it makes her want to break the rules even more. Apo claims there is no chance for that, and Lada thinks it makes it even more challenging. Apo then asks if Lada wanted to talk about chef Ian’s menu, and Lada asks her if she picked the seafood bucket, and Apo wants to know if she thinks she stole her idea, then claims she just chose what she thinks is appropriate. Lada expected her to like her idea and praise her for her work, but Apo argues that she’s has been here for just a few weeks and hasn’t done much, so Lada expects that compliment too soon. Lada remarks that it took Apo almost a year to compliment Preem, and Apo argues that will probably take years for her to receive a compliment, but Lada is sure to get it faster than Preem. Then, Apo tucks a lose strain of Lada’s hair back and tells her she will be waiting. Lada is flustered. 😉 Apo takes Lada home again, then asks her if she has done anything to upset her, but Lada denies it and asks why she would think that, and Apo claims that she’s been quiet since they left the hotel. Then, she asks her if she’s free on Sunday, and Lada confirms it. Apo claims that she has something to prepare for their campaign with chef Ian, and asks her to join her instead of Preem, who is still sick. Lada later argues with Nade that it’s not a date and she only wants her help in choosing a dress for Preem. Then, there’s a knock at her door, and it’s Pat who brought her mother with her, who wonders why she came back from work so late. Lada immediately thinks that Pat is threatening her, but he claims that when he went back to talk to their father about the low season, her mother kept asking about her, and so she took her to see her. She suspects that he brought her here to see Lada being dropped off by Apo, but her mother knows she is working for him. She then thinks he already know that chef Ian is working with Apa, but he claims ignorance, saying that last time they spoke she didn’t know. But he wants her to ruin her campaign, doesn’t he, she claims. The next day, Preem, Lada and Apo are discussing the changes to be made for the campaign, she leaves the details to Preem and calls Lada – but she is distracted. Lada claims that the size of the project is making her worry that she will make a mistake, and Apo claims that she can tell her if she has any problems, but she promises to work hard. Apo encounters Fah in her office who admires the view. She asks her how long she has been there, and claims long enough to see her giving orders to Preem and Chonlada. And she wants to talk to her about Chonlada – but we don’t learn what they talk about. The hotel will provide chef Ian with all the ingredients for the cooking, the staff (including Lada) learns. Apo tells his staff to take extra care for the event because it’s not just to attract customers, but also to entice chef Ian to work at the “Monarch” as a hotel chef in the future. Apo seems pensive as Lada remains awfully quiet. She takes her aside after the meeting, and brings her to select an outfit for her for the event which was scheduled for Sunday, but that is Lada’s day off and she wants her to be fit and awake when the event happens, so she brought this point forward. She claims that everything looks good on her, which makes Apo think that she doesn’t want to help her, but Lada says it’s her job anyway. Apo asks if she wouldn’t want to help her if it wasn’t part of her job, then tells her an anecdote about the time she first took over from her father. Lada thinks she felt like it was a piece of cake, but Apo cried in the toilet – which her father still doesn’t know – and she wanted to run far away, so that she’d be free from all responsibilities. But when she saw a maid dedicated in her work, she realized that everyone in the Watin group tried to protect the reputation of the company, and she felt silly for trying to run away. The Watin group isn’t built by a person or two, but by everybody working for them with dedication – including Lada. If she still see her as one of her team, she argues, she can always talk to her; she might not be able to help much, but she’s a really good listener. Lada is shocked, then catches herself and proceeds to bring Apo some jackets – and we get the second part of her talk with Pat – and he told her to make the campaign opening happen, but she should make sure chef Ian will never work with Watin group again. He wants her to sabotage the food and blame it all on Watin group. Lada says she won’t do it, but Pat claims then she can go home with her mother, because if she know she was a mole a Watin group, she would never let her proceed. But if she agrees, her mother won’t be dragged into this, and she can also prove herself to dad, he claims. We get a little metaphorical talk as Lada presents jackets to Apo, who always takes being right over being liked, and argues that if you insist on doing the right thing even when it’s not to their liking, a person with a sense of morals will still understand you. Then, it’s the campaign opening day, and the hotel is filled with guest and, of course, Adisorn and Fah are also there. Lada, meanwhile, goes to the kitchen to dip something in some sauces. And that’s where the episode ends. ___ I must first admit that I don’t know where the show is going with this food poisoning plot, because that is a TV show invention which could result in major changes going forward. The rest of the episode is pretty book-accurate, though – Lada and Apo continue their banter to get closer, while Fah (another TV series invention) probably told Apo who Lada really is. But the betrayal / sabotage puts series Lada in a different league from novel Lada – we shall see how this will change the course of the whole series. This was a slower episode dominated by long dialogues, but it was still entertaining.
