Roy Marn (2000)

I have now finished watching all the three versions of the classic lakhorn "Roy Marn" about Bee who gets forced to take her cousins place as a bride against her most hated enemy Mark.I have reviewed all the other versions and its clear for me now that i actually loved the original 1990 version and 2011 versions much more.This version starring Pock Mittiraroch as Bee and Bandit Saokaew as Mark was very much likable and fun to watch,but it lacked the deep passion and longing in the other versions.Pock portrayed a great Bee but she wasn`t entertaining in the way Margie and Ben Pusit pulled it off in their versions.Bandit is a decent actor who makes a very gorgeous Mark,while Boy did a incredible job as Mark but for me Tua from the 1990 version is the original Mark.No one can pull of the character of Mark better than Tua.This version`s Mark was made more gentle and serious without all that arrogance the other versions of Mark has shown.One more interesting thing is that Mark and Bee fall much earlier for each other,even before Marks wedding to May.I also love how jealous Mark is every time Bee spends time with Athit.The actress who played May in the 1990 version plays her mother Vijatra in this version,also May is portrayed less evil in this version since she is very victimized due to the kidnapping and rape on her wedding day which was caused by the very obsessed Chansan.One negative thing more is that this version also focuses much on the relationship between Mark`s friend and the woman who got cheated by her husband together with the bitchy Wiyada and in my opinion their scenes were so boring and unnecessary.Bandit and Pock make a great couple together,only wished for more romantic scenes with them together instead of her always leaving him all the time which got them separated second half of the story.
