Ah, this one…
My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday" is a very different concept and it got executed very well in this love-story between Takatoshi & Emi portrayed by fine talented Sota Fukushi & Nana Komatsu. This is a romantic paranormal drama. A lovely and melancholic piece of art. Sad in its loveliness and beauty. For what could have been and never could be. Sota embodies the shy, nerdy but optimistic comic artist Takatushi and gave him so much wholesomeness and charm. I can not help but adore his bravery, the way he instantly confessed to Emi, just lovely! Nana Komatsu is such a fine beauty and the way she just takes over the screen, the way he beautiful eyes lit up when she looks at her co-stars, ahhhh she is so beautiful!!Was this review helpful to you?
A LoveStory That Starts Out With A Dangerous Game!
"Lately when i wake up in the morning, the first thing that`s on my mind is that you are not too far away from me.But there will come a morning when the first thing on my mind is that you are far away from me. There will also come one day when all i think about is that i have...deceived you. Even when that day will come, I pray every single day...that i will still remember your smile."- Si Hyun (ep 28)

The story of "Tempted" is toxic with very self-destructive characters. We have the good-hearted but slightly broken female heroine Tae Hee who gets lured into a love trap by three very infamous rich bestfriends, The Male Hero Si Hyun who is the so called "The Great Seducer" but who will get seduced in return by his heroine, falling himself into the trap he set for her. We have the Second Female Su Ji who will cross any limits to succeed in her goals even if it means stepping over innocent hearts, but she has a great heart for the few people she loves, alas she will also hurt them in order to reach her goals. Second Male Character we find in the wild and kinda carefree rebel Se Joo who always tried to stick the group together.
I totally appreciated this story for what it was, a melodrama about very broken youth trying to heal and live life as fully as possible. All actors did a great job in portraying their characters, i mean all four main characters totally shined through the screen in their own way. Tae Hee & Si Hyun have something that totally made them click together on-screen, they are utterly adorable and beautiful together. I loved their scenes together, just so wholesome and touching with how devoted they become to each other.

I literally grew up watching Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou!!
This story and the characters had a huge impact on me ever since first watching it as a kid. I am surprised no one has written a review for this sequel movie yet, so i am gonna put it here first since i LOVE this story and the characters to bits. The leader of Bakada Tatsuya, his right wing Tetsuya, the Cattleya leader Fumie and her right wing Saya and the rest of the Bakada gang. All of them stole pieces of my heart. Their pride and honor, the way they were willing to die to protect it. Its that oldschool fierce spirit that doesn`t really exists in our modern society anymore.I miss these type of boys, boys who were fearless and had the courage to fight for the people they love and their honor. They are my childhood heroes. The Bakada boys and the Cattleya girls fighting as allies shoulders to shoulders and fighting any injustice coming their way to hurt their school. Despite their differences they learned a lot from each other and i love re-watching the drama series and movie sequel every damn year because Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou is a classic to me and dear to my heart!Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful interpretation of a tragic Love-Story...
"Jang Ok Jung" is a historical romance drama filled with political intrigues, adventure, action and romance. Just packed with entertainment and a amazing cast that just delivered in all their performances. This is my first time watching Yoo Ah In on-screen and what a handsome and talented actor, his smile made me all gooey inside! And his voice, ahhhh his beautiful deep voice! His portrayal of the cunning but noble King Suk Jong was incredible, the character arc was amazingly written! I had seen Kim Taw Hee in "Stairway to Heaven" as SFL character, so i loved watching her as the female lead, heroine/Anti-heroine Jang Ok Jung and her journey to the palace and the King`s heart. I could never hate this woman, i got frustrated yes, but mind you this were different times and survival in a harsh environment like this were crucial. Prince Dong Pyung was such a great sidekick and character as well, loved and felt for him badly!The OST are awesome, could listen to these songs all day. Finished this drama with my mother and sister. All of us cried in the end.

Old-school Slap-Kiss Romance
”Fire of Desire” is a lakhorn that took my breath away when I first watched it some years ago. I decided to re-watch it when I saw that Dragon’s Lair had finished subbing it and I am so grateful for that!! We have a very good looking Caucasian hero first time ever in a Thai Lakhorn (that I had seen, well except for Bandit in ” Roy Marn”) portraying the American rich heir Kenneth who is the best friend of Uma’s older brother. Kenneth speaks Thai as second language and loves Thai food and the culture immensely and he secretly loved his best friends sister all along-Uma in this case has strong prejudice towards foreign people and lashes out at Ken in every turn. When circumstances forces Uma to marry the one man she desperately despises, her hatred will wither away under Ken’s watchful gaze, speaking of his longing and love- the fire of his desire!!!Was this review helpful to you?
A nicely done cinderella trope that made me lose sleep for three nights!
As the translation to the title of this drama says, "The Necessary Wife" is the central part of this old-school romantic drama starring the very beautiful on-screen couple Petvisetsiri Swiss as the rich but down to earth/honorable Male Hero Tohmorn Taradorn and Namfon Kullanat as the beautiful hard-working orphan Tawan. This lakhorn really delivers in a lot of aspects: we get greedy villains, gossiping servants, identity switch, misunderstandings, slap-kiss, an old vow of engagement and a sweet love-story in mids of all this chaos.I mainly (duhhh) enjoyed this lakhorn for the mainleads and what an electrifying chemistry they actually had in their every scene together. I also loved them in another lakhorn called "Ploy Lom Peth". I actually binge watched this lakhorn in three days and i found every ep exciting and just could not drop this one at all, i just had to finish it. I would also have given this lakhorn higher rating if it weren`t for how much screen time the villains had in this lakhorn. They were simply awful, though Yard`s mother is a terrific actress and i enjoyed her acting. I also wonder what the name of the actor who played Benley is? I don`t see him in the MDL cast of this lakhorn, he did really good in making me hate him.

I feel like i fell into a trap...
This movie is a erotic drama damn it and i rarely watch these kind of movies. I thought the female actress looked beautiful but her character was kinda one dimensional to me, well all characters were one dimensional and not much was shown here. Or even delivered acting wise, and the plot is despicable in my opinion. Infidelity is a trope i hate.It all was so predictable as well. I saw some things come from miles away. I regret watching this.

One of the best J-Dramas i have watched of late...
I literally forgot to review this one since i finished it around last month, but here we are.I have also seen the original version and i am glad to say this version of You`re Beautiful is so well done. I laughed, smiled and cried with all the characters. The actress portraying the female lead did a incredible job in conveying her emotions in wearing her heart on her sleeve and the actor portraying Male Lead Yuta Tamamori did so well with his cold exterior but added that touch of heart to his character that conveyed how deeply lonely and hurt he felt. Ah, he had a heart of gold.
They were so very lovely and beautiful together. Glad i watched this drama!!

Star in My Heart: a classic tale of growth, independence, true love and lasting friendships.
This was a wonderful story overall. Gripping in its essence and filled with artlike direction and music that filled your soul with characters that really made you root for them. Really made me wish for their happiness and for them to find the stars in their hearts. Hope,solace and happiness!Yun hee portrayed by Choi Jin Shil is a lovely heroine! She was was so sweet, nice but stubborn and fierce in her determination. I just fell in love with her designer talents! The actress is so beautiful as well! Her chemistry was amazing with Min hee portrayed by Jae Wook. Ah his handsome charming looks made me swoon! And the way he tackled his life problems and found solace in his music, my heart broke for his soul many times, the way his father caged him in like a prisoner several times. I love that he was supposed to take her number to give to his bestfriend Joon-hee portrayed by In pyo but ended up pursuing her himself!

My journey with "Unwilling Bride"
was...how should i put it? A different one. My rating is sorely based on that i only enjoyed the first six episodes and the writing went downhill with a lot of repetitive behaviour and situations. It grew boring fast so i had to speed forward and 16 episodes after that was a lot for me. But let me compliment at how stunning Mik Thongraya & Pooklook looked together on-screen and how well they portrayed their characters. The ML Kadethaen is really famous for being one of the steadfast, passionate and honest heroes of Lakhornland and i give props to Mik for handling this character with such charm throughout this lakhorn. Nackarin portrayed by Guy Ratchanont was another intriguing character as soon as he got introduced- he was a Anti-hero with a dark background, he made the story interesting with his revenge plot.Was this review helpful to you?
Watching the drama with its beautiful OST and memorable characters was a treat and the first 20 episodes were great. I loved the slow burn but intense love-story between Du Xiaosu & Lei Yuzheng. How they actually bonded because of their love for Zhen Rong who died so tragically. I feel like the main plot and focus was lost after Yuzheng got into jail in ep 21. I knew the writers shied away from the heavy angst that was in the novel and how deeply twisted and toxic main-leads relationship actually was, and how sad it actually became (as i have read some spoilers of the novel) but the saving grace was somehow the redemption of a villanious greedy character Lin Xiang Yuan who i actually came to ship with Fan Lu. They literally felt like a old couple still in love. This drama could have been sooooo much better without all the business politics and investigation that dominated for the entire other half od this drama. Felt like i was wasting so much time watching it. But i am glad i finished it. I think i will always remember Tears in Heaven for the melancholic and sad feeling it could give me sometimes.

Yada Narilya is a stunning talent actress that conveyed the complex anti-heroine Saiparn so well she simply blew my mind away with her charismatic on-screen presence. This is one of the rare cases (in lakhorn) i found the male lead so lacking and unappealing. His character was so weak minded,selfish and wishy washy and STUPID. I wanted to cry when i reaized he was supposed to be male lead after a few episodes, i still had hope for him to have a great personality to match the female lead, alas i was sooooo disappointed. She looked much better with Napat. Male lead was so useless in this one.Aghhhh i am so mad about that cuz she deserved THE BEST!!
There are many more detailed reviews of this crazy, trainwrecky lakhorn so i won`t write much. It was entertaining despite the lacking romance (with a lacking ML) but our beautiful anti-heroine makes it all up with her redemption arc, her character developement.She is wonderful, and can never do wrong in my eyes.

"Buang Ruk Gamathep" has been such a entertaining journey throughout all the 28 episodes. Its about Cupid`s magic, all the characters meeting together in a conflict so great we get a star-crossed lovers forbidden to love each other and the fruit of their love in the form of a child that will make enemies become lovers. First we have the main-leads siblings tragic love-story, the passiontae Pawat (played by Setjinda) & gentle Oranee (played by Noon Daran). Pawat is one of the heirs to a powerful family empire and his mother refuses to let him be together with a woman from lower class status. Not caring however good of a person Oranee really is. So she sends for Pawat`s older,cynical alpha brother Phubodee (played by Pong Nawat) for him to ruin Pawat`s relationship with Oranee. Phubodee in this case gets very agitated when he meets Oranee`s spirited and feisty younger sister Ornicha (played by Bee Namthip) who never lets him get away with his snobbish and spiteful behaviour. Their spirits clash into a fire of hatred, both unable to stand the other. But this is Cupid leading the fate of all lovers...The Magic of Cupid.
This is a slap-kiss romance that highly delivered and the cast did such a great job. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Bee & Pong, i mean wow...on-screen they look absolutely beautiful together.I love their cat-mouse game, how stubborn both were and how they never gave up without a fight. Phubodee is the villain in first part of the story, since he is mostly the cause of breaking up his younger brothers relationship with Oranee and he did it in such a despicable way i had such a hard time forgiving him for it. The tragic conclusion to it all, just so darn sad. I was really shipping Oranee & Pawat...Pawat was such a strong male character which come as a total surprise to me since most of the lakhorns i watch have the younger brother always being a weakling. Pawat was a breath of fresh air, he stood up against everyone for his love, his older brother, his mother...everyone!

This story also reminds me of "Punya Chon Kon Krua" starring Mark & Kimberly with how the FL also disguised herself and how the ML was suspicious of her from the start.
