Hua Jai Sila

its my first review writing!! so please ignore my mistakes

okay ! HUA JAI SILA OR HEART OF STONE is my second Thai drama as I prefer action , suspense over a typical romance and torture that can be often seen in THAI DRAMA , but you know this made 'an exception' for me [even with presence of slap and kiss] because of following reasons-

1. ACTING- wow bang !!! everyone did a great job especially Thanapob Leeluttanakajorn (P'TOR) and his step mother , Ann Siriam Pakdeedumrongri . At least i feel so.

2. SUSPENSE- you won't believe me every episode feel like a new world with new suspense. Each episode makes you carve for another episode.

3. ROMANCE- its sad to know that at least till 16th episode you will find less scenes of MIN and SILA/P'TOR . Its surprising to know that in between [from 1st to 16th] i found minimum 20 scenes of them together . I CAN't tell for further episode as while i'm writing the review , drama is still airing

*EDIT-IN FURTHER EPISODES YOU GUYS WILL EXPERIENCE MORE SCENES OF THEM TOGETHER*
ROMANCE BETWEEN THEM IS SO SWEET!! good chemistry between actors !

4.REVENGE- way of revenge will be the main attraction of this drama. I literally jumped many times on my sofa when p'tor took revenge from his step relatives [mom n brother]

5. MALE LEAD- yes you read correctly! actually i became so much attracted by Thanapob's [ P,'TOR] sarcastic smile. Well i know it won't be a reason to watch for almost everyone but if you are looking a drama with an actor having great personality and acting skills , you should prefer this.

6. THRILL-omg I just can't explain this point .This one you will find in later episodes but it would compensate for earlier ones.

7. RE-WATCH VALUE- its 10 on 10 from my side (*_*)

8. Music- OPENING SONG (ost) is very nice..

9. ENDING-its most important thing for some people (for me too)...its of course a happy ending we all expect for [marriage n all] but the main thing is it will taught u A GREAT LESSON ABOUT LIFE. I'M REALLY INSPIRED WITH 3-4 LINES SAID BY ML ....[U SHOULD CHECK OUT IT ON UR OWN]




At first i had also prefered a TYPICAL ROMANCE BUT NOW I PREFER ACTION MORE AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TYPICAL ROMANCE OR FANTASIES THEN DON'T GO FOR THIS , I REPEAT DON'T WATCH THIS .
By typical romance i mean- a genius boy or rich boy with clingy or naive or poor girl

Not Good, Could Be Better

I expected a little more from this highly recommended lakorn but was disappointed. The biggest disappointment was the female lead. She felt like an unnecessary character. For the first half of the drama none of her actions contributed to the plot and I nearly forgot she was the female lead at one point. She kept hating on the ML for questionable reasons. I get that she was trying to “protect” her sister, but her ways of going about it are really odd, especially after all the beatings she got from her sister. She’s unreasonably judgmental. Right from the get-go she assumed the ML was a bad guy because he took a pregnant woman to the hospital. She also kept bringing up his profession as an insult. Not to mention she has no backbone at all. Her sister did all sorts of horrible things to her and she never stood up for herself. There’s minimal character development for her. I did enjoy the interactions between the FL and the ML though. They had good chemistry.

The ML was also very disappointing. I was disgusted when he slept with the FL’s sister. Why did the writers think this was an acceptable plot line? Apparently, it was his way of "revenge," but there had to be a better way to go about it. Though the FL was unreasonable towards him at the start, he also did some unnecessary antagonizing things that WOULD make her hate him. This is a slap/kiss lakorn for that reason. His character really carried the show though. If the show solely focused on the revenge aspect of the ML, it would have been better. The villains were decent but generic. You have the evil, stuck-up rich madam and the conceited ladies you typically see in a lot of dramas.

The ending was good. It is a happy ending for anyone wanting to know. Ultimately I wouldn’t rate this higher than a 7. Maybe it’s because I came in with high expectations. I really did love the tension between the ML and FL, but wish the FL had a stronger character, more development, and more presence.

The acting was good. The actors and actresses fit into their role nicely and the cast is full of beautiful people. The actress of the FL did what she could with her character, while the ML was great and had convincing facial expressions. Aunt Mam was probably one of my favorite characters and the actress playing her was phenomenal. The villains were also good. All in all the acting was superb.

The music was alright.

I do recommend this show, as a lot of people like it and it really depends on the person watching on how they feel about things, especially since this is a slap/kiss lakorn. However, go in with less expectations. I wouldn't rewatch this show aside from indulging in the super romantic and appealing edits fans make on Youtube, which is what originally lured me to watch.
