The lakorn that will keep your heart warm
Matalada is the story that you have to watch at least once in your lifetime.We get to see the positivity of the world through Matalada's POV, and that's plain beautiful. I do understand if some people might think that it's not realistic. But sometimes that's what we seek in life... not about being realistic or anything. It's about being true and helping others around to be true.

To the moon and back is a cute heart warming Thai drama with elements of serious topics concerning themes of prejudice, violence hate and love the drama is worth the watch because it presents these topics in a relatable and thought-provoking manner. The characters are well-written and their development throughout the drama is captivating. The chemistry between the actors is also undeniable, making the romantic aspect of the drama even more enjoyable to watch. Overall, To the Moon and Back offers a perfect blend of heartwarming moments and important social commentary, making it a must-watch for any drama fan.Was this review helpful to you?
Engaging characters with Good Story
I have watched many of the ML dramas but in this one he is totally not the macho, domineering good looking male lead. Instead he is intelligent, thoughtful and respectful to others ( may have a little autism maybe). Even though you bite your tongue waiting for him to become more assertive with his parents -he finally is able to so while attempting to keep his relationship with parents. The FL is definitely sassy but has had her share of heartaches but she is neither mean or hateful because she’s got this large support system especially her transvestite “ mother” who teachers her to be the better person. I had a difficult time accepting the actor who plays her father in this role but I came to like his character. Give this Lakorn a chance. I like lakorns cause you get to feel as an audience member many emotions in just one episode- anger, frustration, laughter, pity, jealousy, etc. instead of special effects the actors and the story take you on a wild ride.Was this review helpful to you?

Your Happiness Matter
A very lighthearted lakorn and i have to say, i was expecting it to be super dramatic but it was not. Yeas, ML’s family was the typical rich family who wants him to be perfect and marry someone similar to him.I love how its a mix of comedy and as hint of sadness plus romance. Maybe to others, its a slowburn between the ML and FL but to me it was just right. The took their time to know each other and the ML took his time to figure out his feelings for her and what he wants to do which i really like. The ML knew about his family and thats why he refuses to love someone because he doesn’t want them to suffer the same fate as him.
Overall, this lakorn shows you how opposites attract and although our ML is not the typical cold rich doctor but i prefer him this way. He knew his boundaries with the other women and rejected them when he realises his feelings for FL. Oh, FL on the other hand is perfect. She played her character well and i really love that about her.

A little gem of a comforting Thai series ╰(✿´⌣`✿)╯♡
Thai series, a plea for the LGBT+ cause, very cute and positive (for once).PLOT: Improbable meeting between a "perfect - A class" surgeon, with toxic father - submissive mother, and 1 FL illustrator, raised by a group of Drag Queens, free-minded and warm. She will gradually release the ML from his father's grip.
PROS:
+ A perfect production to serve an unusual story. It tlaks about romance, but especially family (with toxic parents), family ties and homophobia / discrimination / etc., with sensitivity, humor and intelligence. RARE !
+ a cute CL (James Ji & Toey) with a top-notche chemistry.
+ Great actors who bring endearing characters to life, especially the “Cage” gang.
+ No slap/kiss, gratuitous violence, Great Villain.
+ Nothing special about the OST.
### Well, the Happy Ending, with the awareness of everyone's mistakes, is a bit far-fetched, but it's fresh & cute.
=> I wish to watch more series like that, and I'll rewatch it with pleasure (and it's rare for me to rewatch something :)

Série thaï, plaidoyer pour la cause LGBT+, très cute et positive (pour une fois).
PLOT: Rencontre improbable entre 1 chirurgien "1e de la classe", avec père toxique - mère soumise, et 1 FL illustratrice, élevée par un groupe de Drag Queens, libre et chaleureuse. Elle va peu à peu, sortir le ML de l'emprise.
PROS:
+ Une réalisation parfaite au service d'une story inhabituelle. Elle traite de romance, mais surtout de famille (avec parents toxiques), des liens familiaux et de l'homophobie / discrimination /etc., avec sensibilité, humour et intelligence. RARE !
+ un CL craquant (James Ji & Toey)
+ De super acteurs qui donnent vie à des personnages attachants, en particulier le gang de "la cage".
+ Pas de slap/kiss, de violence gratuite, de Great Villain.
+ Rien de particulier sur les OST.
### Bon, la Happy End, avec la prise de conscience des erreurs de chacun, est un peu tirée par les cheveux, mais c'est frais & mignon.
=> Une petite perle de série thaï réconfortante ╰(✿´⌣`✿)╯♡ Ne passez pas à côté !

Gosta de lakorn? Tem que assistir!
Matalada vai ganhar inúmeros prêmios e é merecedor. A ideia de diversidade, entendimento, aceitação, preconceito, amor romântico, amizade, redenção, erros e acertos foi bem construída, me deu vontade de assistir, pelo menos, mais uns dez episódios. É um lakorn solar. Jirayu e Toey são perfeitos no bom mocismo. Ryu é imenso na tela em sensualidade e faz um casal lindo com Amanda, é nítido que ele é uma estrela jovem em ascenção e amadureceu muito na atuação. O elenco maduro é inacreditável, com absoluto destaque para o núcleo familiar de Mata. Parece que todo o elenco foi escolhido com muita certeza, eram para estar ali, com aqueles personagens. Dá uma saudade desse lakorn, espero que tenha sequência. Porque até Olive, Pluto e Popeye estavam perfeitos.Was this review helpful to you?
