Ubathteehet (2012)

Amar duas vezes

Esta série fica na minha lista de favoritos!
A história na sua base poderia ser real, claro que não poderia deixar de ter umas malucas à mistura que não fazem mais nada se não perseguir o sujeito da sua obsessão, e tentar matar as rivais!

O personagem principal masculino desempenha um papel sério, responsável, honesto e sem forçar o sexo como é habitual. O actor além de ser muito giro representa na íntegra o papel que lhe foi destinado, tendo uma boa química com a actriz principal. Quanto a esta, além de ser uma boa actriz, o papel que lhe foi destinado a determinada altura é ineverosímel que aconteça na vida real, já que também anda atrás do personagem principal colando-se a ele que nem uma lapa.

Os papéis secundários são bem desempenhados e as histórias agradavéis, mesmo havendo uma vilã.

Adorei esta série e vi os 19 episódios sem fazer muitos foward, só quando repetiam as cenas.
Vale a pena ver!

Beautiful cast, good chemistry and a shirtless Om, Oh My...

Thanks to JL Subbing Team for making this available!

Things I liked:
1. Loved the playfulness of the main couple characters and Om (Aroom) and Aum (Witsanee/Visanee) did a great job expressing their emotions throughout the lakorn.
2. Beautiful cast.
3. Loved the second lead couple of Chart and Noot and progression of their relationship.
4. Loved the chemistry between both couples.
5. Loved how Aroom mostly looks at Witsanee (Visanee) throughout the lakorn.
6. The female lead was basically a nice person even though she was sarcastic in replies to certain people due to her upbringing.
7. The male lead was a good person.
8. Kiss and slap, lol! (reverse of slap and kiss).
9. Beautiful costuming.

Things I expect from most Thai Lakorns to check the box:
1. lots of hospital visits by main couple and others
2. male lead who allows supposed girl “friend” to make problems
3. male lead who doesn't realize how girl “friend” feels about him
4. evil mother-of-someone who plots because of greed
5. evil people escape time and again to cause more problems
6. karma

Things I didn't like:
1. How Aroom wobbled between Non and Witsanee. But, that's the foundation of what happens later in the lakorn after the accident.
2. How Aroom continued to allow Su to come between him and Witsanee.
3. It became a bit draggy in last three episodes.

Spoilers below:
















I find it somewhat hard to believe Aroom could overcome his guilt for loving Witsanee after she accidentally kills Non. By the way, the brakes were not cut. And, of course, this becomes a large part of how their relationship goes back and forth in later episodes. It's only remotely possible because he was already in love with Witsanee even though he still loved Non and had wanted to marry her. He was willing to deny his love for Witsanee to honor his older feelings and commitment to Non. And, I also think he was afraid to let go of Non and go to Witsanee because of his honor and beliefs. I was also curious on how Noot could forgive Witsanee. I think the monk telling Noot to let go of her anger and Witsanee to let go of her guilt are good life lessons. However, I'm not sure how well I could do either if I were in in their place.
I would have liked to have seen a longer happy ending with a really good kiss, but, oh well.
It's a Thai lakorn and even when they drive me to drink, I still love them.

Story: 8 nothing too unexpected if you've watched a lot of lakorns.
Acting/Cast: 9 for acting and 10 for beautiful cast!
Music: 6 – mostly seemed ok
Re-watch value: 5 for certain parts
