I think White is doing a great job. When it comes to Phun and Noh the writers need to follow the novel as much as they can. Phun and Noh will have their troubles but they never leave each other side no matter who tries to separate them. The writers have more freedom with Earn. In the novel Earn finds out later directly from Noh that Noh thinks of him only as a friend. The writes chose to divulge that now. Why? We don't know yet. I suspect it is to put Earn and Pete together which is not in the novel. Ngern is doing a great job. But his character is far more aggressive than Phun and White has to portray that. We see several times that Phun is thinking about Noh but something happens to keep him from saying something. I thought he did a great job, along with Captain, in the bleacher scene because Phun is suppose to smile behind Noh's back while Noh is trying to apologize and make him feel better. If you watch White does that quite well. White's acting is far more subtle, at least to me. But again that is a part of Phun character thud far. This is not to take away anything from Ngern is doing a wonderful job. We could easily hate Earn. But Ngern through his beautiful eyes, and the rest of him is nice too lol, made us root for Earn and hope he is happy. I think that is why many want to see Earn and Pete be a couple. Just my opinion.
