Felt like reading a Harlequin Romance!!
This was a fine love-story!Second chance of love is one of my fave tropes in romance genre! Filled with longing and tension!! The sensual quality of forbidden longing, a very insistent and in love Male Hero who pursues his heroine passionately! My first time seeing the actors portraying the main characters on-screen and the chemistry is so fine that i am not surprised they have several more mini-dramas together. The actress portraying the heroine is so doll alike and beautiful!Was this review helpful to you?
I found the little boy Macmac very cute and my heart broke so much for him! It was so sad seeing him having to see those dead spirits.Cedric is a very mean guy from the start who under Leni`s influence starts to soften.I thought their blooming romance in these horrifying circumstances was very well done.I mean,the chemistry is always off the charts between them,love them so much!

I have had my share of movies starring the famous couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. This movie was not bad at all,but very much lovely and fun actually.We follow the rebellious main character Jackie who against her will gets taken to a village to volunteer on a medical mission in Tarlac. To her dismay, a place without any electricity and internet connection. But her cynical point of view slowly changes when she gets to know the bright and golden-hearted Kiko who also lives a unfortunate life but chooses to love instead of giving in to anger all the time.From teasing and bickering with each other,they fall completely in love. I love how Kathryn portrayed the troubled Jackie.Such a strong character,but very much vulnerable.It is so easy to be so much consumed by pain that you eventually do crazy stuff just to numb it out.You end up being so selfish and self-absorbed that you forget all the life and people around you.Kiko was right to point that out to her,and showed her an example of the poor life families have around the village. Kathryn could see the life Kiko lived. His own mother can`t even make herself to take care of him and his younger siblings,leaving all the responsibility on his shoulders while she parties away and gambles with her boyfriends.He has a rich father with his own family who never treats him more like a employer than a son.Kiko never asks from anything in return,but he does not want to cut ties with them because he considers them his family and he loves them no matter what even if they don`t appreciate him.My heart cried out for Kiko,his golden heart just made me swoon!I love the early scene where Jackie seduces him just to steal the keys from him and he tells her he is a virgin,lol!

Our Nangek (heroine) Nid have to go through many obstacles to win back the love of her life,our Praek (hero) San who have got amnesia,and who also doesn`t remember her and their time together on See Chang Island .Much angst are delivered in this story,with the antagonists doing everything to cause Nid harm,and keeping her away from her beloved San.
Overall,"Sao Noi" is far from being the perfect drama.But it has a lot to deliver..i have never by the way watched a thai lakhorn with this many episodes before,and i do not regret it.This drama also has 40% of the same cast as in another Vill-starrer "Sud Sai Pan".Son and Vill did well in portraying the undying and selfless love between Nid and San.I will look out for more dramas with Vill and Son together!Boonma and Kaew are one of the funniest secondary couples ever-their first meeting was totally romantic and charming.
Characters:
Vill Wannarot as Nid/Wanida: Vill is one of the few actresses i know of that delivers angst very well.She has a unique beauty and a face that don`t have to express her emotions-her eyes says it all.Her performance as the humble and innocent islander Nid was done very well...and her transformation into the sensual theater actress Wanida was done perfectly. She stole all hearts of the men,and more importantly her praeks.Nid is a heroine that can`t live without love once she has found it,once found it gets cruelly taken away from her,and we all follow her long journey in the dangerous and hypocritical High Society of Bangkok to find it again.
Son Yuke as San/Siam: Son reunites with his koo-jin Vill after 4 years in this drama as the rich heir who are engaged to Suwalee from the start.His character is a very passionate painter,who struggles to find his inspirational muse,but are very cynical and looks at the outside of every people.All that changes when he gets hit by a man and looses consciousness...and all his memories. He wakes up in the woods,as a new-born innocent soul.With the help from fate he finds See Chang Island and gets rescued by Nid who turns out to be his muse of inspiration,and soulmate.
Guy Ratchanok as Boonma:Guy shows his goofy charm in the character of Boonma,San`s loyal bestfriend who searches for San after his accident. A newspaper-reporter and striving to be a writer-he has a romantic heart,and a great loyalty to the people he loves.His character brought much humor to this drama,and made me fall in love with him.He finds his love-match in Nid`s bestfriend, the bold tom-boy Kaew.
Egg Butsakon as Suwalee: This girl dug her own grave,and jeez what a evil Nang Rai. She indeed loves no one but herself,and causes much harm to the main-leads due to her selfishness.The deed with the aunt was truly despicable-and both of them did get their karma!Egg did great job as Suwalee,she made me hate her immensely.I also kinda wish that Thana (played by Nut) ended up with her,he was one handsome devil that pursued Suwalee,but also ends up being the one getting revenge on her.They had lots of chemistry,but i guess the creators didn`t want Suwalee to find happiness.
Khongmalai as Marasee: What a stunning actress! She steals the heart of Khun Phra,San`s father.A famous bar-singer who are looked down by many people for her class and behaviour,becomes a true friend supporter and friend of Nid (to my surprise). This character had a lot of charisma and a very strong will that refused to surrender to anyone.I came to really admire her. I wish to see this actress in more lakhorns!

The first half is indeed the most interesting part of this Lakhorn. It has its moments of hilarious banter and humor. Where every character has its part of purpose. The villian Narong is a worthy one, even if he does deserve the ending he got i still think he was a redeemable character as he loves his adoptive sister Bproong with a intensity, and damn what a chemistry they have! Bproong was so self-destructive and mad that it made my head hurt to the bits. The risks she takes on winning Khonghai will frustrate you, but the actress do portray her so well that you do eventually wish for her to have happiness, and she could have that with Narong. But after the second half i struggled to finish this lakhorn, as the storyline took on a more crazy note and just took on bunch of drama to make it longer. Its a thai-lakhorn and they usually are overly dramatic, but this one just made my head hurt.Its my first time watching Rome and Chompoo in a lakhorn, and i do look forward to watch more of them, as i love Chompoo in the TV-SHOW 3-Zaap...her personality are so color-ful and naughty at the same time!
Her portrayal as Pai is done very well, as she did great with showing the struggle and pain in not being sure of the love of her husband. She was indeed sophisticated and smart throughout the story, and never backed away from a challenge. Always having the last word,liked that about her as a Nangek. Khongai is a man you struggle with, as he has the most character developement in this story. From a irresponsible and bratty person, he come to learn about the importance of family,life and love. Through his love for his wife Pai his view of the world changes and he learn to have compassion and patience and cherish his loved ones. He becomes a man who gets ready to take a bullet for his wife and child, thats a true hero indeed!

Aghhhh this one made me blush!!
I have lost count how many times i watched several scenes of this mini-drama! The leads are absolutely gorgeous together and i totally fell in love with their individual personalities and how much of tough characters both are and the way they just ticked each other off-while having this insane attraction to each other! I love that Male lead did not even know that FL is the girl he was supposed to marry and was jealous of FL´s supposed husband that actually was HIM,LOL! The way he even demanded her to divorce him and that he would help her, just awwww these two totally stole my heart! And those kissess are fire!!Was this review helpful to you?
This was so ROMANTIC!
This drama as well fed my romance starved soul!! The mainleads looked absolutely beautiful together and the plot was a fun one. Reminds me of a Harlequin Romance i read by Anne Mather where the heroine seduced the hero to impregnant herself, but in this case the hero turned out to be her Boss. I love love love Male Lead in this drama, he has such a heart of gold despite also having that darker edge to him and he became knee weak when it came to his heroine,LOL. I absolutely found the Female Lead stunning as well, hilarious, cute and classy. She let no one step over her, no wonder ML fell head over heels! I also love the way he tried to catch her heart as well and showed her true love. Its such a beautiful love-story!Was this review helpful to you?
Both Traipope and Pat are stubborn people who work so well together as a couple.I love their journey of love,misery,passion and heartbreak.Pat are fiercely loyal to her family,especially her evil sister Pimonpa who Traipope desperately hates.Pat makes some bad decisions in helping her sister when she should not-in turn that made Traipope so heartbroken with her bold betrayal when he clearly showed her all along how he felt about her.But in turn of punishment Traipope decides to blackmail her into marrying him.That showed however much Pat hurts him,he is still unwilling to let her go.Just love how possessive and madly in love with her Traipope is!He loves her so much he couldn`t live without her.Andrew portrayed the complexity of Traipope`s character so well.This is my first lakhorn watching him on-screen and i was so blown away that i have become a bit obsessed by him!Ah,what a devilish charm he has as Traipope who fought in every means to win Pat`s love.I love every episode of this lakhorn,and it always got more and more intense and exciting!I now already want more and wish it never ended!Traipope`s and Pat`s love-story are so sweet,charming,funny,angsty and romantic!

I normally don`t watch thai lakhorns or tv-series with paranormal fantasy that has ghosts or haunted spirits or magic,but i gave this one a chance mostly because i wanted to watch Son on-screen-i really love this actor like i love Push and Pae and i wish that these three actors someday will starr in lakhorn together as Maffia-Brothers,that would be so Cool!All three of them are tall,dark-haired and incredibly handsome!
I love this story,the plot and the whole structure of the drama and the romantic elements that takes place.Most people will hate Son`s character Chatt as he really behaves like a arrogant and proud bastard towards his heroine Roong,but i love their romance anyway,and i love the fact that the creators saved the Best Romance for the Last.Which means that the last episode are wonderful,you will love it.!There are many characters and follows four families-which means that there also are a whole lot of family-drama.But you will love it anyway-as the pure love-story of Chatt and Roong really amazes you...!

The Forbidden Passion...
Female lead is in the role of vengeful femme fatale and i LOVE IT! Male lead is fascinated by her, and gives zero energy in even resisting her dangerous seduction despite being engaged to her sister. HE DID NOT GIVE A FUDGE, and even openly protected and loved female lead in turn, IN FRONT OF FREEKIN everyone..and he always did love her. The only reason i am not rating this higher is beacuse of SO MANY cuts that literally ruined the experience for me. Especially on the steamy parts. Like those editors...gahhh so mad at them!I love the scene where he gives his marriage passport to his secretary and tells him to fly with a helicopter and throw it over the deep Pacific Ocean, for the female lead in whatever circumstances never be able to leave him. Badass.

A Marriage in Turmoil-
The Main leads had a serious issue of communication issues, they only communicated in bed at ehmm nights but there were never real tokens and showing of affection or even care at day times, although the husband did secretly stuff to his wife`s sake. Still, she had no idea that he is madly in love with her which was obvious to all the other people around them. She wants divorce and he refuses to give it to her, so it becomes a battle of wills between this married couple...and ahhh the ever evident sexual tension is always there! The actors did a great job in portraying their emotional depth and their struggle to honestly communicating without the fear and pride stopping them.Was this review helpful to you?
