"The King's Affection" is a historical romance drama that managed to win my affection. I came to admire and adore the main-characters and the supporting characters. The first two episodes were really strong and the latter 10 episodes managed to keep my interest going but i had to put it on-hold after ep 14 because things were really dragging after that and the writing was nowhere superior to how it was in the earlier episodes. But i picked it up again after a few months and finished the last episodes on Netflix. It has all the tropes i love but didn`t manage to make a perfect story out of it but it was good anyway. Yeon Seon is a admirable heroine who was a victim in this whole story that get forced to take on her dead twin-brothers throne. I just adore her two servants who always stood by her side and protected her. Then we have the absolutely fearless but vulnerable hero Jung who stood for what is right. He couldn`t accept nor condone what his father had done and what he stands for. It really took a toll on him mentally while growing up but he still stayed strong in his beliefs and managed to grow up into such a great man- deserving of our beloved heroine Yeon Seon. I love how he dearly comes to love her while still thinking she is a Male Prince. He loved her when he was a boy and he falls in love with her again as a man. I rooted for Jung and Yeon Seon with all my heart, wishing their happy ever after.

I actually had this lakhorn on-hold several months ago but decided to pick it up and finally finish it.So i started to watch it all over just to remember some details."Kha Khong Khon " stars the veteran actors Pong Nawat and Nune Woranuch. Both played their characters very well, watching Pong portray the arrogant alpha-male Lak who deeply distrusts all women but despite his cynicism falls head over heels with the dancer Gluay who is portrayed by Nune. Gluay has three men that are in love with her over the course of the story,but the only one who captures her heart will be Lak, ever possessive and crazy about her. So much that he refused to give up on their marriage,refused to let go of her since he took such pride in claiming her in front of everyone.The first 6 or 7 episodes were going strong with Lak and Gluay arguing bitterly against each other all the time,while neither could ignore the attraction (who am i kiddin, think they argued until ep 14 or 15).Especially Lak who was drawn to her even from episode 1. The drama added up in every episode and it was entertaining all the way through. So much happens, but i am glad i watched it. Pong is such a handsome actor who create awesome angst in his character and he have such great chemistry with all his co-stars. Loved every scene together with him and Nune. I am also curious to check out the older versions.

If i would EVER want to re-watch this drama,then it would solely be for the early intense scenes between Nabi and Kawin.There is a investigation going on by our main-leads.Kawin is trying to figure out the truth of his mother`s death and Nabi is trying to find her older sister,both Nabi and Kawin are separated lovers,too deeply hurt and angry at each other to even have one normal conversation.Kawin started off in the drama as a really angry,arrogant and shameless hero bent on revenge towards Nabi and even more bitterly hateful towards his father who he also thinks was the cause of his mothers death...but throughout the drama he becomes almost broken...and a very much humble man. Nabi has her own struggles to go through in her quest for finding her sister...and how tragic even that turns out to be.

"My Brother Loves Me Too Much" is the sequel movie to the proluge mini-series and should be watched after watching the mini-series. It is about the dreamy and romantic love-starved Setoka who finds herself being surrounded by hot guys who wants to woo her,and mids of it all there is her older brother Haruka...always protecting and cherishing her from the shadows.

This is a re-watch,and darn how i enjoyed it! It is stupidly cringy at times...but the chemistry and relationship between Setoka and Haruka really makes up for it.I just love them in every scene together.Haruka`s endless love for Setoka is beautiful...always guarding her and loving her secretly!Ahhhh...i love romance!

"Daytime Shooting Star" is a story filled with youth,life,friendships and the power of first love and unrequited love. Suzume is a country girl with nothing but joy and love inside of herself and she so selflessly gave to others. She won over other people by her goodness,even the evil supporting female character couldn`t stay evil for long since she got so charmed by Suzume`s innocence and goodness. I totally adored her!

I love the directing and the production of this film even if the plot itself wasn`t that original.But the most important thing is that it delivered well and i ended up liking all the characters.Especially a certain golden-hearted Mamura who Suzume befriends.

I remember when "Muean Khon La Fark Fah" aired the year "Kluen Cheewit" also aired in 2017 and i never thought i would watch it until i became obsessed with Andrew Gregson who portrays the rich and lonely business tycoon Chat Waritsaluk who gets enraged when his father marries a woman he considers a gold-digger and he immediatly detests his new step-sister,the bright and lively Yothaka portrayed by Matt Peeranee. But warm feelings starts to erupt between the two,and despite them being different as fire and water they irresistibly fall in love with each other.

I enjoyed this journey of romantic angst,the first 7 episodes are the best in my case since it highly show-cased the journey of Yo and Chat falling in love and dealing with their passion for each other.Andy and Matt are both terrific performers,and together they also had great chemistry! It was also fun seeing Vicky and Not co-star since i have also watched them in "Jai Rao" as supporting characters. Mint Nutwara has gotten better in acting and it was quite seeing her in some scenes with Andy since they co-starred as love-interests in "Kehas See Dang". I absolutely loved Yo`s loyal friends Same and Jane-they were hilarious! Andy is so good at acting that he makes every character he ever played his own. When he smiles or cries it always impact my heart. This is a great lakhorn that got quite dramatic at times,but it was romantic and exciting nonethless.

"Close Range Love" have been on my to-watch list for years and i finally found time to sit down and watch it. Its a romantic drama about the introvert Kururugi Yuni who falls in love with her charming english teacher Sakurai Haruka. I am much used to the basic cheesy storylines since many of j-dramas and j-movies are based on mangas. I found this movie to be rather adorable but i would not like to re-watch it. I find Komatsu Nana a very stunning actress and she acts so well with her eyes and conveys emotions rather well despite playing such a stoic character like Yuni.

I wonder if i am to nice on this lakhorn."Roy Lae Sanae Luang" is one of the most beloved slap-kiss lakhorns,and has a trope very similar to another slap-kiss with the name "Ra Rerng Fai" that was done A LOT better.This also is my first time watching Weir and Mai on-screen,and i will say that Mai totally entranced me with her beauty and talent.I will look out for more lakhorns with her.

The main-hero Krao Supagan`s mother got raped and blackmailed by main-heroines father.Unable to handle the shame,Krao`s mother commited suicide. I understand Krao`s bitter resentment and hatred towards the Vichawayt family.They stand for everything that broke his family apart.He grows up in the heights of the business World,and ruthlessly plans ways for the Vichawayts destruction.He is able to use every method:seduction,deception,blackmail,kidnapping,forced marriage and forced kissess...he does it all!

Krao Supagan (played by Weir Sukollawat Kanarot) and Nuch Vichawayt (played by Mai Davika Hoorne) have a very turbulent relationship through and hated to love each other.Sadly this lakhorn was better the first eight episodes and then it started to go downhill,and i really suffered in the rest of it.Its badly written,very repetitive with much unnecessary OTT scenes.The problem may be that i have watched too many lakhorns,and done this too many times to be impressed.

By the way,i really liked the devotion and loyalty Chaitong had for his affection over Nuch in all 18 episodes (it was clear that Nuch would reject him) and then the writers make him fall for his Child-hood friend near the absolute end,just WTF???I didn`t Believe in any of it.

This drama based on the manga has have many adaptions of it, but i still believe that this one is the best, starred the popular actors Koyuki (seen her in "The Last Sauraj" opposite Tom Cruise) and one of my favourite Asian actors Jun Matsumoto- they both give incredible performances as this drama explains the relationship between a human and pet. The Main-hero has to suffer a painful unrequited love as a human pet to his savior and owner, the Main-heroine. It`s really charming and funny, and the main-leads had so much angst going on that i sometimes shed some tears. But the HEA is still sweet to watch!

One of the very typical aspects of a Thai Lakhorn are the female antagonists that does everything to make the FM`s life miserable.They are called "Nang Rai". The FM in this lakhorn works as a actress with the Nang Rai roles,and are the most famous Nang Rai in the entertainment industry whose adoptive mother dies early in the story.Her name is Pimchanok,and she only entered into showbiz to find her long lost sister Nam..who she soon finds out got killed near a abandoned pond. The murderer knows Pimchanok are investigating Nam`s death together with her manager and gay side-kick Jae...and sends out threats to stop her. Our handsome ML, the efficient lieutenant Natee has to step forward to become her bodyguard.

Characters:

Kimberly Ann Voltemas are known for her sassy and bratty roles as a rich heiress Nangek roles (like in "Rang Prattana" and "Buang Hong") and i can honestly say no one could have done better the portrayal of Pimchanok better than her.Kimmy shows Pim`s spirit and stubborness through her cold manevours,and her vulnerability and longing through her soul-ful eyes and tears,and does find deep emotional dvelopement througout this story.She is a brave and noble heroine that are willing to risk her own life to find justice for the people she loves. And i totally loved the clothes she wore as Pim.

Boy Pakorn (i also love him in "4 Hearts behind the Mountains") gives out his harder and more serious side in his portrayal of Lieutenant Natee, who against his will have to become Pim`s bodyguard.His work is his life,and together with his more carefree cousin Tiger,he never hesitates to take on dangerous missions to save people.We watch him change through his love for Pim,and being the first man who stands up against her bitchiness,he is also the one who always have to save her ass when she brings trouble to herself.

Not Vorarit plays the loyal gay-side-kick in the character of Jae Charlee who supports Pimchanok on every nail and tooth.He is the funny and flirty male-friend everyone wish for,and i just loved his sassyness and humor.He is 10 times more girly than Pim ever was,and i love how Natee and Tiger was joke-threatening to scare him off his gay-flirting,haha!

The veteran actress Yardthip Rachapol plays the gentle but mysterious co-star of Pim,Nethkamon who does appear to be nice and proper from the start.She falls in love with Natee after he saves her,but knowing that Natee and Pim love each other,she suffers from unrequited love.

The paranormal element comes with the ghost of Nam played by Belle Nanthikarn who grew up with Pim together in the orphanage but gets adopted earlier than Pim,therefore they got separated.She is the most pitiful and tragic character in the whole story,and becomes a guide in her ghost-form for Pim to find the real culprit.She is said to have been loved and wanted by many men during her life,among them Danai and Pipat,but according to my opinion she had only been the release of their lust.They never did anything to protect and cherish her,and never sought out any revenge or justice for her murder...so much for their "love".I can feel for Pim`s pain in losing her only sister and friend she ever had.I do feel for the loss of Nam`s tragic fate.She had suffered so much in life.

Romance:

Boy and Kimmy have amazing chemistry on-screen,and delivered the dynamics well between Pim and Natee. We love how they fight,bicker and kiss. Together with the supporting character,we root for this couple from the start. The second lead romance are between Tiger and Orn-they were so cute! I just love their natural friends-to-lovers romance. I can also hope that Jae will find his soulmate soon....he damn well deserves it!

I have finally found the time to review this Film, since i watched it a week ago! "Brother of the Year" from 2018 starring Sunny Suwanmetanon, Urassaya Sperbund and Nich Khun Horvejkul is a heartwarming comedy mixed with romance. Its color-ful and rich...and it gives out excellent directing and acting. There is sadly not that many movies today at all that presents the relationship between siblings...the connection you actually never can take away. Its with you until you die. You can lose a friend, you can break up with your boyfriend and you can divorce your husband...but a sibling is for life whether you like it or not. Yaya has wonderful chemistry with everyone she acts with, and her collaboration with Sunny is remarkable, as their characters Jane and Chut are siblings who fight and considers each other rivals, while secretly looks upon each other. Their connection is in that they know each other to the core, and aren`t afraid to take off their masks to show the naked pain in having to deny each other the support they want to give due to pride and bitterness.

This movie made me laugh my tears off and laugh my ass off. I loved every minute of it, and i consider Yaya and Sunny the true stars of this movie. Their portrayal as the siblings Jane and Chut has everything you would dream of, and me having a brother i also would like to kill sometimes (kiddin about the killin,but he does drive me mad) i actually could symphatize with Jane. You can also hear Yaya talk japanese many times, and watch her with a big pregnant belly! Go For It Yaya!

The first part in the U Prince Series are "The Handsome Cowboy",but in my opinion it should have been the "Cheating" or the "Horny" cowboy. Starring Put and Ester, they were a very cute couple and i enjoyed the series very much. The filmed places and the hero`s hometown were beautiful. Put are a actor i LOVE ever since i watched him as the arrogant but very besotted hero in "Roy leh sanae rai",his performance and charisma in there made him one of my favourite actors ever. His character as Sibtis in "The Handsome Cowboy" are a very complex one, as he is a type of Anti-hero in here. He loves no one but himself and are very sexist. Put also played a Anti-hero kind of role in "Roy leh sanae rai" as Kongpope, but the difference between Sibtis and Kongpope is that Kongpope never ONCE cheat on his heroine.He loves only his woman and he faithfully stays true to his heart, while Sibtis is a scoundrel in many horrible ways,and i disliked him incredibly.He both cheated on and betrayed his heroine and that disgusted me!He breaks his promise and betrays his heroine Prikkang all over again,even if she gave him second chance.I have never watched a lakhorn where the hero or heroine cheats on each other,and this is a first one.But Sibtis gets to grovel and suffer his mistakes and even gets ready to die for her where he takes two gun-shots for her.There i accepted her forgiveness,cuz he truly grew into a worthy man who deserves her,and they truly love each other passionately. Ester`s performance was incredible to my surprise as i have never watched her in other lakhorns. Ester and Put and the others in the cast did a great job with this one.!
