Dhevaprom: Dujupsorn (2024)

A MUST-WATCH!!!

Out of all the five stories, this one excited me the most. AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!

I had very high expectations for this drama because it features the daughter of one of the Dhevaprom sisters, who was the most affected among the three when the promise among the families wasn't fulfilled. When I watched the trailer of the drama and the MVs for the OSTs, I had hope because the cinematography and acting were on point -- and as I hoped, the drama gave what it was supposed to give.

First off, Peak and Mint were so amazing as Petch and Fah. Peak really embodied Asira. The role of being the selfless and responsible big brother, not just to his younger sister, but also to his younger cousins -- he played it so well, that I almost forgot he's like the 3rd youngest among the five guys in real life. His micro-expressions were so on point that I, as a watcher, got immersed. And let's not forget Mint's portrayal of Fah. Amazing... just freaking amazing. From comical to dramatic scenes, she was able to deliver. The girl can cry, guys, to the point that it got me teary-eyed on some scenes. Not to mention, the chemistry between Peak and Mint were off the charts! (Bonus point: the chemistry is even crazier IRL guys lol).

Secondly, the cinematography, direction, and the musical scoring of the drama was good. I loved the way they shot some of the scenes, especially those that mattered, and I loved that you'd get to understand why they included moments of Fah "breaking the 4th wall" in some scenes as the drama progresses. And the musical scoring was so good, like they really made use of the two OSTs so well. I guess it helped that the OSTs were written as if they were in the POV of main leads. (Bonus point: Peak himself sung, composed, wrote, and produced the 'I wish you the sky', which is one of the OSTs of the drama).

Third, I loved how they tackled multiple topics and shone light on some things. I liked the way they showed the realities of being an eldest child (I resonated with this one for real... it was so on point, it's crazy lol). Even the struggles of an only child doing everything just to ensure her only family member's happiness, to the point that they're putting aside their own wishes for the sake of their family. There were some lines that hit close to home, I had to pause sometimes because it was too real.

Lastly, the plot was executed just fine. During the earlier episodes, I liked the pacing of the drama, but the towards the end, I felt like they rushed some things, especially in the final episode. I felt like they should've extended it to one or two more episodes to really flesh out the ending. I needed more of Petch and Fah in the final episode lol. But other than that, this drama's excellent still.

It has been years since I last watched a lakorn. The last one I watched was probably The Crown Princess and I am not even sure if I finished the drama or not lol. Dujupsorn's also the only lakorn that I watched real time and was waiting for episodes weekly. I was that immersed, despite not understanding a single word as I watched the live stream. You really should watch this lakorn. Like it's just so good.

Also, Peak and Mint released a duet version of 'I wish you the sky' posted on Peak's YouTube channel. It got me giggling I can't lie ;)
