Lah Ruk Sut Kob Fah (2014)

I'm surprised nobody has reviewed this lakorn yet! The plot summary drew me in, but its really the lead couple who shines here. They really had chemistry together and their characters were great as well. Out of the few lakorns I've seen, Mattana has been my fave female lead by far. I was worried in the beginning she was just going to be a spoiled brat, thankfully she wasn't. I loved how active she was, willing to save herself, but also put her life on the line to help those she believes in. She had just as much to do as Kamin, which was a nice change as many action lakorns that i've seen usually has the lead girl stay out of the action (unless she's getting saved, lol). Kamin was great as well, of course. Him being so dedicated to Raya and duty-bound to the Royal Family made the angst when he starts having feelings for Mattana so good! Plus he looks really fine here...
Other side characters were interesting too. I really felt for Haruethai and her evolution throughout the show was great. Some characters weren't so great tho. The Prince was just completely inconsistent, I can't believe anyone thinks he would make a good ruler (ugh, gross, Really show? Really?!!) and a lot of the villains motivations (not to mention plans) were weak and repetitive. I think the show was strongest sometime around the middle episodes, unfortunately some tension was lost towards the end with a ridiculously cliched 'injury' plotline that I won't mention in case of spoilers.
For the most part I really enjoyed the music. Nittra/Sweet Dreams was beautiful and haunting, it really fit the scenes it was played it in. Production values were good as well and I really liked some of the costumes.
So overall I'd say the setup is great, writing could have been much tighter and they really could have done so much more with the story. Lead couple is great together and as separate individuals, completely worth watching (but just fast forward through some of the boring side parts, lol).

Hidden Gem

I almost didn't watch this because of some of the reviews, but gave this a shot, and found myself highly entertained by this series. I REALLY have to like a FL in order to watch, and I LOVED the FL in this. She's tough and flirtatious and funny. The ML has a different personality than most ML's I've watched. He's not one dimensional so sometimes I had to guess on what he was thinking. He even had me wondering how much he loved the FL up until the very end.

The chemistry between the leads is spot on, and I enjoyed the real kisses between them. I would recommend this series for the lead couple alone.
