"Kehas See Dang" (which means:"The Red Mansion") is a lakhorn that has been remade several times.The latest version stars the veteran actor Andrew Gregson as the socially awkward doctor Ruj Rujiroj who comes home after 15 years to the Red Mansion after his step-mother dies. The painful reminder of her shameful past makes Ruj despise his step-sister who he becomes legal guardian to,the lovely Araya played by Mint Nutwara. Tension arises every time they are in the same room and it becomes a strain for Araya to live in the Red Mansion she has lived in her whole life,especially since she can`t come to terms with his unresonable hate for her mother.Both are still undenyably attracted to each other and Ruj clearly can`t keep himself from falling for her over the course of time.We also have three nannies of Ruj`s and a loyal lawyer who wishes for Araya and Ruj to marry someday.

This lakhorn is so LOVELY! It was surprisingly nice watching Mint and Andrew co-star on-screen and Mint had much improved on her acting here.I have quite become obsessed with Andrew`s acting and his dynamic presence on-screen and he really did a remarkable job as Dr Ruj.The way he walked,watched,ate and talked fit the stoic character of Ruj perfectly!I was amazed since i a lot of times forgot that Andrew even portrayed him.We get introduced to lot of fun and romance in this story.The hate to love relationship between Ruj and Araya was so sweet and entertaining.It was so romantic watching Ruj fight for her to come back to him to the very end.He was so sweet in his declarations of love and told her that she is only his,not Charlie`s or Pakanai`s.Such a romantic and possessive praek,i adore him!We have another destructive Nang Rai in form of Sowwarot (played by Charm Irvin) who is Ruj`s ex-girlfriend that never knew what she really wanted but loads of money.I quite liked her close (but kinda toxic) relationship with her father,it was them together against the whole world. This lakhorn is nicely done and well executed.The Red Mansion had such beautiful nature around it.I really enjoyed the scene where Araya showed Ruj the Lotus Flower place on the river,such a beautiful place!

I have now finished watching all the three versions of the classic lakhorn "Roy Marn" about Bee who gets forced to take her cousins place as a bride against her most hated enemy Mark.I have reviewed all the other versions and its clear for me now that i actually loved the original 1990 version and 2011 versions much more.This version starring Pock Mittiraroch as Bee and Bandit Saokaew as Mark was very much likable and fun to watch,but it lacked the deep passion and longing in the other versions.Pock portrayed a great Bee but she wasn`t entertaining in the way Margie and Ben Pusit pulled it off in their versions.Bandit is a decent actor who makes a very gorgeous Mark,while Boy did a incredible job as Mark but for me Tua from the 1990 version is the original Mark.No one can pull of the character of Mark better than Tua.This version`s Mark was made more gentle and serious without all that arrogance the other versions of Mark has shown.One more interesting thing is that Mark and Bee fall much earlier for each other,even before Marks wedding to May.I also love how jealous Mark is every time Bee spends time with Athit.The actress who played May in the 1990 version plays her mother Vijatra in this version,also May is portrayed less evil in this version since she is very victimized due to the kidnapping and rape on her wedding day which was caused by the very obsessed Chansan.One negative thing more is that this version also focuses much on the relationship between Mark`s friend and the woman who got cheated by her husband together with the bitchy Wiyada and in my opinion their scenes were so boring and unnecessary.Bandit and Pock make a great couple together,only wished for more romantic scenes with them together instead of her always leaving him all the time which got them separated second half of the story.

We have all been used to angry and mean male-leads hell bent on revenge towards the poor innocent female-leads throughout many epic slap-kiss lakhorns.In "Ruk Ter Yord Ruk" (which means:"Love You To The Tip of Love") the tables have turned where we have the fiery heroine Amwika (played by Pat Napapa) who gets heartbroken with grief over her pregnant sisters suicide death because of the man who used her and then left her.By some misunderstandings Amwika thinks the guilty man is the rich heir Sakan Santiwas (played by Por Tridsadee) and wreaks her thirst of revenge upon him-doing everything in her power to destroy him.

Ah,i love the revenge trope.Its so dark,addictive and dramatic and only high-lights the main-leads chemistry.I am not surprised that Por and Pat were one of the greatest koo-jins during the middle 2000s because their on-screen chemistry was on fire every second.Sakan Santiwas have been misunderstood and abused his whole life by his foster-brother Sakon (played by Grate Warintorn) and his foster-mother who never let him forget that he is a unwanted child into the family.The only kindness he got is from his fosterfather,he has otherwise lived a very lonely life.As soon as Amwika came into his life it became turbulent and he couldn`t help but fall for this woman who threw her hate at him in every turn.He was no doormat and gave the trashing she deserved when she went too far,but mostly he chased after her like a love-sick fool sometimes...just letting her lash out her vengeance on him.He was alright with loving her despite all her insults.He was man enough to overcome her hate with his everlasting selfless love..and thats why i think Sakan such a worthy hero.Amwika drew her every breath with her revenge,her love for her sister pushed her for it.After all the chaos she did,i know she deep down knew that Sakan was not at fault or else she would never have been able to give her heart to him.

(Ps:This lakhorn can not be found anywhere with Eng subs.But there is a trailer with Eng subs that can be found in Youku.com)

I had nothing to watch while checking out some Youtube videos and then saw this and decided to watch "Roy Adeed Hang Ruk" starring Bie Sukrit Wisedkaew and Mew Peerot Yaapin in which they acted for the first time.It is a very dramatic lakhorn with many over the top moments and has the tropes i usually like which is the hate-love relationship between the main-leads.There are many repetitive dialuges and much push and pull which made some scenes pretty hilarious when they were meant to be serious.Since Bie and Mew both were acting for the first time it was very hard to buy into the naturalism in their acting.They couldn`t act naturally and therefore a certain depth was missing in their characters (Bie did a much better job in his later 2007`s version of "Hua Jai Sila".Bie plays the rich business tycoon Tonnarm who loses his fiance early in the story and blames the female lead Meen for being the murderer (when it was only a car accident).At every turn he tries to make her suffer but in turn loses his heart to her for her gentle and tender beauty and patience.Eventually he can`t stay away from her and hurts both of them because of his rage of jealousy and the misunderstandings that keep them apart,there is also one obsessed gold-digger who wants to claim Tonnarm at every turn.I hope they will make a remake of this lakhorn someday!

"When we were eighteen,we fell in love,loved each other,cried,ran away,knelt down.And turned our backs at each other countless of times.I thought it was a pretty dream.But you ended up being a nightmare."

-Kim Tan

With the best cast,the best dialuges,expressive characters,interesting relationships and beautiful and epic love-story.."The Heirs" are one show i will never forget.I watched this one with great attention,both laughed and cried with the characters.Watching Lee Min-Ho and Kim Wo-bin co-star as nemesis,their epic performances are one thing i unlikely will ever forget.Everything intruged me,and i found a lot of these characters passionate,and i rooted for them with all my heart.We get to watch them fall in love,suffer,battle,fight through obstacles and grow up in the imaginary Elite world they live in.

I don`t know what to say.I came into this drama knowing what to expect,but couldn`t imagine how hard it would hit me to the stomach."Stairway to Heaven" is a classic of its own,that takes over the list of star-crossing love-story over all other love-stories that have been aired in Korea and throughout Asia.Every 20 episodes is worth it...you live into their world of splendid happiness,pain,heartbreak,grief,hate,jealousy and bitter-sweet love that easily destroys the individs "Stairway to Heaven" is surronded by.The cast is simply amazing,and in my mind Choi Ji-Wo and Kwon Sang-Woo and Shin Hyun Joon are the true stars in the drama,all of their performances are heartfelt and expressive.All of them shined together on-screen,and delivered amazingly.By the way,i found the main-characters Jung-suh and Song-joo very beautiful together,wheww what a mind-blowing chemistry they have!!!

Jung-suh (played by Choi Ji Wo) is an admirable heroine with her heart on her sleeve.Every man easily could fall in love with her,as her beauty is inside and out.Her strength and bravery and care-free nature is what lures Song-joo into her net,he is her beloved child-hood friend..and her lover and soulmate.Even falling into the clutches of amnesia,her heart still belonged to Song-joo.

"From the moment i saw you,i thought you were Jung-Suh and that thought hasn`t changed at all...I look like a crazy fool,huh?I think i am gonna go crazy,I don`t think i can live anymore!What should i do?What do i have to do?Do something to me!" - Song Joo

Song-joo (played by Kwon Sang Woo) is a hero to die for and i love him so so so much.The actor playing him is so deliciously handsome,and showed the eternal love and longing Song-joo have towards Jung-suh so well that i cried for him.He can`t live without her,and we all root for him to find his beloved Jung-suh again,after she was so cruelly taken away from him.

"I...I`ll wait here.If you still haven`t sorted out your feelings after going in...then when you come out,don`t look at me and just go.If you...If you have some doubts and come back to me...I won`t let you go until i die.Even if you hate me...I still won`t let you go". -Tae Hwa

Tae-hwa (played by Shin Hyun Joon) is the step-brother of Jung-suh and is one of the best supporting characters i have ever stood upon.His soul is so haunted and lonely..and lives and breathes only for Jung-suh.Its so heartbreaking watching a second male lead love the heroine this much...and i kinda hated the pain he went through with his unrequited love for her.I believe that Jung-suh loved Tae-hwa more than she love herself,but not in any romantic way.

The younger actors of that time Park Shin-hye,Baek Sung Hyun and Lee Wan played the younger versions of these characters very well,and i have to say that Shin-hye and Lee Wan indeed has got the better chemistry in their characters,which surprised me.I understood why they got their own drama later on in "Tree of Heaven" two years later with the same director.I also recommend that drama,which is a heart-shattering tale as well.I also have to mention that the OST´s of "Stairway to Heaven" are extremely beautiful and catchy,my favourites are "That`s the only One" and the song about Tae-hwa`s unrequited love for Jung-suh "Heaven`s Memory".

It is much clear from the start that the outcome of this film will be a heart-wrenching one!It cheats your hope in many ways,but you can`t help but fall in love with it all! This is a romantic drama that represents a daisy flower which symbolize innocence and purity through a love-triangle,in which two opposite forces falls in love with one woman.

Gianna gives out a outstanding performance as the carefree painter Hye-young. A young woman who has her heart on her sleeve who waits for her true love that has given her daisies for a long time and even build a bridge for her. Thinking its her new friend Jeong Woo...she has actually no idea who it really was. The character of Jeong Woo played by Lee Sung-jae had sadly no emotional depth that could relate me much to him. Fate made him meet Hye-young,but also took him ruthlessly away from her. professional hitman Park Yi played by Woo-sung has a dark charisma that kept you glued to the screen every time he made a appearance,his loneliness shows from his sad expressions...and his doomed love and passion for Hye-young was what made the true spark in this whole film. Them two together on-screen was magic!

The Reborn Rose...a wonderful version!

This story is 10/10 for me in all ways! Truly heartwrenching love-story with beautiful looking main leads! What the Male Hero had to sacrifice in order to let her go with the way she threatened him in the past-no wonder he had hard time believing her in present time.

The chemistry is chef`s kiss as well! Truly stunning on-screen! I love the way she truly tried to show him how much he means to her-in the same way Male hero was ruthless enough to punish anyone the same way they tried to hurt his beloved heroine, his lovely rose.He had no limits to what he would do for her.

This drama got me so hooked!!

I enjoy most of the dramas i binge watch, but "Love at the Edge of Divorce" got me hooked and addicted from the first episode! Like the title says, we have a married couple that actually have never seen each other because of Male Hero`s hatred of her family and their greed. The heroine Sheng Miang is rightly hurt by his coldness, but she lives on with her life and has a career in interior designs as the pseudonym Penny. In a course of fate the pride and arrogant hero Yancheng`s heart gets moved by Penny not knowing she is his wife Sheng Miang. I love that the moment he understands that Penny only chased after him wanting his project all his walls fell down and he totally let himself be consumed by her and he pursued her love in return.

The way he looks at his heroine, with a love so deep and powerful that it hurt to watch them together sometimes.Touched with a core of possessiveness, he loves her madly and desperately! No wonder our sweet heroine was touched by him!!Just a beautiful and passionate love-story...you keep glued in your seat waiting for him to realize that the woman he loves is the wife he despises! I also adored his grandfather who KNEW that they were meant for each other!

Lost in The Midnight really delivers with a very sexy and devoted ML!

I am having a huge binge of these MINI-DRAMAS lately! Just aghhhh totally feeds my romantic soul! "Lost in the Midnight" is my first drama with the mainleads and i got so deliciously surprised by their chemistry and acting talent, especially the actor portraying Male Lead, our very dark and tortured mob gangster Luo Xiao who is despised and feared by everyone. I mean, all his brothers and grandfather hates him. Everyone have tormented and abused him, no wonder he held no love for his family at all. The actor just stole the overall show for me, his expressions and the rage and pain in his eyes was incrediby portrayed. What he did for the female lead to be by his side, ahhhh i love a smitten possessive hero!!

I will never get over this drama.

Oh my god. I have no idea whatsoever i am gonna do with my life now. "Maid`s Revenge" was such a thrilling, dark, enfuriating, addictive, smart and sexy epic romance that gave me everything i craved in this genre. Tingyao is a cute heroine with a wonderful character developement but it is the beautiful alpha warlord Male Hero Tian Yi that totally took my breath away with his stunning looks and acting. He was raw male power and oozed so much sex appeal i had to take my eyes off the screen sometimes because i had to FREAKING BREATH with how beautifully dangerous and sexy he was.

Gao Zheng did this character so well that i am stunned. His acting was so natural and fitting of this powerful character that execuded power, authority, strength and such sex appeal, but also showing his heart through his eyes. When he looked at his female heroine with such agony and longing i just wanted to cry. He is one of my favourite on-screen heroes. Never gonna get over him, just sayin.Ahh

Year 2010 was a wonderful year for the Thai industry when the delightful,romantic and exciting "4 Hearts Behind the Mountains" aired in 4 split parts about the quadruplets Fai,Din,Lom and their only sister Nam.All 4 of them have followed their dreams in pursuit of successful careers and have all their different stories where they taste the flavor of love."Pathapee Leh Ruk" is the third part in the "4 Hearts Behind the Mountain"-series and follows the strict and handsome Din Pathapee (played by Mark Prin) who is the owner of Thararin Resort.He instantly dislikes the girl who always sticks her nose around everything Cha-aim (played by Mint Chalida) and he instantly suspects her motives of coming to his resort.In fact Cha-aim has been sent there by her father who wants her to spy on Din`s business dealings and she is only doing it to gain his affections.But the time comes where Din and Cha-aim can`t close their hearts for each other.

This part was colorful and fun and i sensed how strong the chemistry was between Mint and Mark since they also were strong koo-jins during their early lakhorns together until he became koojin with Kimberly in his later lakhorns.But Mint`s acting in this lakhorns was quite painful to watch since she really struggled to act natural in the character of Cha-aim.I also find this part memorable because of Din`s allergy to gay people,i mean he literally fainted everytime a guy flirted with him,LOL!

"If I could stop the time so we can stay together forever, I would even sell my soul.Because it's so hard for me to feel this way.I had once wished that I had never met you.But even if I could turn back the time, I would meet you again. We would have the same arguments again.You would have fallen in love with me again.I would love you again." ~Cheon Song Yi

Sometimes i wonder if it`s only dramas that can make me so emotional like this,unlike reality.This romantic fantasy drama was a major hit in South Korea and received immense popularity across Asia,starring the great korean stars Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun as the made leads,they instantly brain-wash you into this one amazing impossible Love-story..ahh one of the greatest.I adore both the hero and heroine.Fate was always behind them,and it was time for them to madly fall in love with each other.Song Yi was a very self-loving actress from the start,but really came to be a worthy heroine.Her crazy humor just made me laugh out many times and i just rooted for her with all my heart.As for Do Min-joon (remember the actor from "Dream High",oh he was such a sweetheart),how could you not fall in love with him,when he is the hero every girl wish for.He was doomed when it came to Song Yi already from the start..the power of love.I also very much adored the second male-lead Hee-kyung played by Park Hae-jin are very irresistible too with his charming Golden Boy looks and attitude."My Love from the Star" will make you feel every possible emotion you can feel,ladies and gentlemen!..and get ready for it!

“You’re not afraid of anything in this world, but when you see a bug you start quivering in fear. Rather than having a single finger broken on your girlfriend, you’re an idiot that thinks it would be better if all your ribs were broken instead. You don’t even know the difference between pride and privacy. You’re so stupid you swear your always right even though you completely mess up every saying in the book. You hate kids but you want to take your son to go see the stars.
You want to become a good father. You’re a lonely but affectionate person. That’s exactly who you are. Say it… my name.” – Jan Di

We all korean lovers know the name of this classical drama,that will forever stay in our heart."Boys over Flowers" changed the whole Asian industry and made it grow bigger than ever.I have wached all the "Boys over Flowers" versons,watched the anime and even read the manga.This korean version has cut deeply than any of the others.I LOVE everything about this wonderful tv-series.The deep and sizzling romance between the arrogant and hot-tempered Go Jun-pyo and the optimistic and hard-working Geum Jan-di,the warm friendship between Jan-di and the remarkable F4...and the uniqe brotherhood of F4.I love the songs,they couler the drama so much.I both laughed when they laughed...and cried when they cried.I was there with the main-characters from the start.I fell in love with them through their journey together.This unforgettable,severe and beautiful drama are one that will stay in our hearts forever...
