Pom Pang Ban (2022)

Another beautiful past-and-present-drama

This drama reminds me of Sunya Ruk Sunya Luang, a beautiful past-and-present-drama aired in 2020. So, forgive me if I make comparisons between both dramas in reviewing this one, but perhaps it will also help you to choose which one to watch first :)

Storyline:
- Basically, the past life story is just a typical lakorn: love triangle, evil third wheel, (abundant) misunderstandings, etc. even in the present life there are typical plot as a lakorn, but I appreciate that the storyline is well executed, well connected between the past and present life, it's not hard to understand the whole plot despite those flashbacks.
- SRSL somewhat has the same plot, has love triangle in it, evil third wheel, but it has better and ellegant storyline. Even the villain is as beautiful as FL (but with different aura).

Romance:
- PPB has more romance between the main couple, which is good, also the chemistry is good. They are wise and understand each other so much. Both leads' characters are likable enough. FL knows when she needs to listen to others and when she needs to hold on to her own opinion. She's young but wise and not unreasonable. ML acts fast when there's misundertanding between him and FL, which is good and gentleman.
- SRSL has less romance despite the lovely chemistry of main couple. FL is more mature (and ellegant, again I say) but ML is also lovable when he starts to soften up to FL :)

Acting:
- Basically the main actors are good. It's my first time watching Bank. He's good, even in crying scenes, also handsome :) Pin, as a new comer, is also good, she has potential. I also appreciate Gam Yanisa, despite her annoying char, the script gives her chance to explore her emotion, especially that 1 emotional scene at hospital. She also has potential. Curious to see her as a main role.
- The 3 main roles in SRSL also do a good job. FL with her different char between in past and in present life (in past she's naïve, insecure, but in present she's more mature, so calm, express her feeling more through her eyes than her gesture or expression), evil SFL in her ellegant aura, ML that's more emotional in present life.

OST
- Unfortunately, PPB doesn't have memorable soundtrack, at least for me. SRSL does have :)

Cinematography
- PPB has much better CGI than SRSL, but for me SRSL is better in cinematography

Dislike:
- The annoying character of FL's sister, Khim. She's always against everyone. Is she a villain or what? Lol. Although I can understand her background, it still challenges me to see her actions.
- An actress that sexually harass ML, ergghh disgusting, despite her motives.
- The comedy is NOT funny at all…
