When Hawick Lau grabs a girl, he really grabs her! Very little consideration for personal space which is rare in Chinese shows. I don't know why I put off finishing this for so long.

It is starting to be eng subbed and posted over at Daily Motion.

I just checked out the full synopsis at Asian Wiki and man, that is a lot of action for 16 episodes! You can read it here at: https://sharerice.com/index.php?title=Dum_Kum

A charming retelling. Yes, not quite as impactful as the first but aren't copies always like that? I really enjoyed watching the veteran actors who play Kaopun's father and the shaman. Just like in the original, where the "evil ghost" came from wasn't really explained but they all worked well with it as a plot device.

I am pretty sure this was sponsored by a bottled tea company - but despite this, it is very charming. An easy watch!

I just rewatched the final episode again and it just reinforced my opinion that it was practically perfect. Okay, the weirdo 2018 "can't recognize faces" theme took some points off for me but it fit perfectly into the drama's conceptions about who, what and when makes us each our own selves. The slower pace was like pouring a glass of beer so that the head forms perfectly. Faster - not so tasty. Slower - not so pretty. Sigh - I loved it.

This movie made me go right to the library to check out books on Ikebana.

It's on Youtube - subbed even. Not my cup of tea!

Must have been - it just says it’s not there.

Any chance you can reload it under another account? This link was not working.

Very good. It was on DailyMotion subbed for a while. I should have downloaded it . . .

For a sweet (and very silly) Chinese drama, check out Chef Fang (Hua Jian Ti Hu Fang Da Chu) - its subbed YouTube and on Daily Motion, I. think. Lots of amazing food porn as well.

U-Prince The Series: The Handsome Cowboy is the beginning episode with the most famous actors (Push and Esther) but the lead is an enormous jerk. My favorite one is The Crazy Artist or The Lovely Geologist. Those leads are sweet!

Okay but what part do you like best? The young actors? Then you should try Bua's Khun Mae Suam Roy (2018). She is excellent there! The "revenge that only hurts yourself" plot? Then try Tawan Tor Saeng with Dome. Big families with lots of secrets? Try Ching Nang with Aom. There are four brothers in that story so there is a lot of romance! College life and friends? Try any of the U-Prince series. The good thing I think you can find most of these subbed on YouTube or even DailyMotion.

This looks like a crazy drama - I can only hope to see it subbed someday.

Okay, I'm watching this without subs right now (hoping for them, of course!) but - is the little girl Partit's daughter (she calls him dad) or his niece? They never talk about her mother . . .

Oh, I watched the beautiful revenge of Fai Ruk Game Rorn a long time ago- a Rainruma recommendation! - but the second seemed too cray-cray. Not even for Mek . . .

What a great article - I also enjoy historical (really olden times) and period (merely not modern times) lakorns. Ching Nang (2012) is another "period" drama with four brothers and one heroine. Yes, everyone loves Wong Deuan with the exception of their crazy grandmother. Expect to see a lot of simple country life, travel on steam trains, home cooking, country doctoring and banditry. Sapai Jao (2015) is the opposite kind of charming period lakorn. Lots of princes, training for royal marriages, vintage cars, nightclub acts and servants vs. masters.

I had my suspicions about this film but - it turned out surprisingly well.

Looking for an early movie to complete a viewing challenge. Luckily, the Korean Film Archive has many films to choose from on their YouTube channel. An eye opening look at 1950s Seoul. Also, the acting is quite good!
