Felt like reading a Romance Novel!
This story is filled with romance, the promise of passion and intensity and hardcore love! My first time seeing ML on-screen and man can he act. SO NATURAL in his expressions. He could be quiet, but damn scary in his intensity. Deadly & dangerous, the heroine is initially fearful of his dark reputation, but he hires her as a girlfriend and slowly draws her into his world. Eventually stealing her heart. When he threw that paper plane, and when he later on again threw the paper plane at her..such a symbolism of the circle of love they been through in their long journey. Both could stand head to head and challenge each other with their pain and anger, but also embrace each other with all their migh. ML was on the verge of being a Anti-hero, he was so broken, and only she could bring those pieces together. This couple touched me greatly.Was this review helpful to you?
Sexy & Dark:what i love!!
I enjoyed it immensely!!This is my second version of the same plot! Prefer this ML much more!!The plot is that the FL badly needs medication to heal her sister`s illness, in this case ML is the only one who has the medicine. So they have a transactional relationship, where he gives her medicine for sex, but he falls irrevocably for her. Unlike in the other version, he realized early on that he loves her and he pursued her. He is a lot ruthless towards his enemies as well, especially the girl he took care of who he cast aside as soon as he knew she was a scheming liar.

All the tropes i find utterly irresistible...a dark revenge romance!!!
I am having a bit of a binge of short c-dramas lately and have found a new obsession with watching the incredibly talented actor Chen Si on-screen!! This is the third drama i have finished with him and omggggg does he shine! He portrays another Anti-hero Jiang Ji Chun who rescues the heroine Xin Yan and in turn she works as a spy for him while he in return also helps her with the investigation of finding the real culprit behind her family`s murder. The plot itself does revolve around three Jiang heirs, the ML and his two nephews who hates his guts. Ji Chun was always there to save the heroine, seduce her and torment her with hot sizzling kissess. His red-hot passion for her was blinding my eyes. The way Chen Si portrayed Ji Chun reminds me of his another portrayal in another dark romance "Lost in the Midnight". He has this dark sexual appeal, this kinda predatory and restless stance to him. I find him utterly irresistible as well, the way he makes my heart beat faster!! Lucky heroine!!Was this review helpful to you?
I watched it for Cavan Wen! Either way...the trainwreck!
This drama had one of my most beloved tropes which is the change of identity and of face surgery where our Male Lead thinks his beloved female lead betrayed him. He is a man bent of fury and hatred of the woman he once so desperately loved. He hurt her in all the way he knew to hurt her. It was heartbreaking to watch. He was only digging his own grave and he let his bitterness and jealousy consume him until there was no way left for her to actually forgive him when all secrets were revealed. And that ending....oh god that ending.Was this review helpful to you?
I decided to watch the Original Version of "Leh Ratee" first!
"Yesterday you treated me nicely, but today you are slicing me with thousand knives. Why are you doing it? Do you want me to die?!" -Sak***
I don`t know what came over me. I just wanted a quick popular slap-kiss lakhorn watch and i checked this title out and decided to immediatly check the original version out from 2004 since the lakhorns back then have something i strongly adhere to, i don`t know what it is quite, but i think the way stories were executed back then have this magic and how passionate they used to be. In "Leh Ratee" we have much to see, fateful lovers and all the obstacles and misunderstandings coming their way to separate them. Both are very strong headed individuals in their own way, especially our domineering devil prince Sak Sutthakorn who argues against everyone and never backs away from a challenge. He is a force to be reckoned with. Already cold-blooded enough, he becomes more ruthless than ever when he knows of his wife`s deceit. Like a formidable villain he is after the thief that stole money from his company, that man desperetaly tries to find a chance for safety when he knows he is to be doomed together with his family, so he mixes cards together one last time to find the card that will give him last hope- he gets one card: The Heart Queen.
He is instantly relieved, because he knows at that moment that Sak is destined for his stepdaughter, the sweet and innocent heroine Kate. Ah, i loved Sak`s furious face when he requested his awful proposition in selling Kate to him, to give him a heir. But Sak had indeed always been secretly attracted to the angelic heroine, they were destined to fall in love. They bicker, fight and challenge each other, but we have so many sweet moments between them were they connect and try to understand each other. Sak will have to learn to trust his heroine, his future wife. What a lovely story in its core, such a beautiful romantic story. The OST and the romantic heartbreaking themes made my heart burn! I am so glad i watched it, got me binge watching three days in a row. Pepper & Ann in my opinion have wonderful chemistry, so much sparks in their every scene, this is such a underrated classic.

"Fai Luang" is a old-school slap-kiss soap opera with lots of intensity in its melodramatic essence. It has all that i love in lakhorns of this genre. Romance, passion, hatred, revenge and two main-leads that refuse to back off from their purpose. It stars the handsome Willie Ruengrit as the avenging and domineering hero Naparoot who in every sense of the word wants to ruin the life of his deceased father`s mistress and in turn hurt her younger sister, the one woman who ever infuriates him and makes him go mad with anger and passion, the very gentle but stubborn Yotien starred by Tao Sarocha. She is furious over her sisters actions and betrayal but with fierce patience and good will she tries to gain the forgiveness of Naparoot`s family, which only infuriates him even more. Their love for each other became the burning fire that at first was built by intense hatred, both Naparoot & Yotien get hurt by it and both refuse to even acknowledge it or even give in to it.
I totally lost sleep over this incredible story. All the characters felt so real to me and their emotions were well acted out by the whole cast. Willie just took my breath away with his gripping performance by truly showing how Naparoot was at the peak of losing his mind. He was the soul of this story, no one was above him and could really stand up against him, well except for his very beloved heroine who refused to surrender.

I will say, this came out before the airing of F4 Thailand and raised the viewers expectation after the trailer. We knew and felt that this version would bring something special to this old saga. Our guts told us right. It is special. In just 16 episodes this remake managed to turn my soul upside down. It is one of the best dramas i have ever seen in my entire life. Bright portraying Thyme and telling about his feelings of his character made me tear up a little, it is obvious however tiring it may have been, Bright sincerely cared about his character Thyme. Tu Tontawan is such a stunning lady, and thought her perfectly fit for Gorya.
Rest of the cast did a terrific job also! 10/10 stars for me, even for being a proluge movie. This is where it Began.

Mostly, because of the terrific performances by Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo-the superstar on-screen (and off-screen) couple that continue to move thousand of heart all over the country,including mine.Although i am from Sweden. We get to follow a long time couple George and Primo who both love and struggle in their life together.What truly amazed me by both George and Primo is their need for each other,and how lost both were without each other.Both also knew it in their souls.George wanted to support Primo in his dreams of becoming a famous musician, she endured his temper and pride and stubborness in trying to achieve that dream...Primo saw that despite the cloud that consumed him. But a person can only take that much and it is clearly understandable when George exploded. My heart totally broke for these two.Their love and hopelessness...how they still loved each other with all their souls after all these years. How many unforgettable moments to treasure, i absolutely love the sexual tension that always sizzled between Primo and George-and it was easy to see why Daniel and Kathryn have stayed strong in their relationship for almost a decade.They easily convey the emotions their characters feel.We also get beautiful sets of Amsterdam,so happy they filmed there since i also want to travel there someday.

"Miracle of the Heart" is a beautiful,gripping and agonizing romantic drama about the meaning of life and power of love.A dying person has to have a reason to live for,or else is bending on self-destruction.The rebellious and rich heir Techo (played by Sornram Theappitak) is a man who lives life like there is no tomorrow.He hates the world,and mostly and sadly...hates himself.Its sad watching him destroy himself and everyone around him,life for him is a prison he wants escape and he does that in risking his life in every dangerous deed there is. But his life changes instantly when he meets the cheer-ful and lively Morin (played by Suwanan Kongying) who dreams of opening her own gallery.Techo`s personal doctor Sakarin decides to hire Morin for her to teach Techo art-a way to use teraphy for peacefulness in himself.Techo and Morin despise each other for their differences,but Techo can`t help but open his eyes to the heart of Morin...her grace and beauty something he can`t ignore.He falls fast and hard for her and decides to win her heart but faces heartbreak when he realizes she loves her older step-brother Methin (played by Louis Scott) who has opened up a boy-orphanage called Moon-Light House so that the orphan boys can escape the danger of being involved with drug dealers.Techo will have to go through hardships to finally deserve the love of the only woman he have ever loves,and that journey for me was full of anxiety,tears,laughter and cute-ness!!!
I have heard great deal of the koo-kwan on-screen couple Sornram and Suwanan,they were one of the greatest on-screen couples over a decade ago and have starred in many soap operas together.I understand why many viewers lost sleep while watching their lakhorns during that generation,cuz their chemistry on-screen is magical and mind-blowing!!!Like literally i was so awed by them that i couldn`t stop watching this lakhorn for 2 days now.The villians in this one is so annoying that i wanted to pull my hair off and then strangle them to death!Techo had almost everyone wanting to steal his inheritance,and the way he always kicked Pim out was hilarious to me.I mean,he is so indifferent and ZERO interested in her..get a CLUE for godsake!!!
The acting is on point,all actors did great job and i also liked watching the boys in the Moon-light House and how they warmed up to Methin,Pong and the Master and fought against the drug-dealers.How they also got close to Morin was also wonderful to watch and their loyalty to her.This drama for its time is very well done romance-wise and plot-wise and has a classical feel to it.The music is wonderful and describes the anguish well in how Techo suffers for his mistakes and how his heart breaks every time Morin steps on it.He loves her desperately that it pained me to watch sometimes,and one of the high Points of it is how it made me cheer for him!

"Tawun Thud Burapah" is actually the best crime/action lakhorn i have ever watched.It presents the intense dynamic between two fullblooded brothers, the hot-tempered and insurgent Burapa Pongpitak (played by Son Yuke) and his older justice-seeking brother Tawan Pongpitak (played by Pong Nawat).Because of one fatal decision from Tawan destroyed the life of Burapa,and in its course they become two opposite forces that clashes in their different principles and ideologies of what is right and wrong. Tawan`s journey of earning his brothers forgiveness and Burapa`s journey of joining the dark road where he will have no return.I loved every scene with the brothers,especially the angst Burapa`s character delivered.His raging desire for vengeance...trying desperately not to lose his ounce of humanity.Fate made him find light in his beloved Preecha Amongsakorn (played by Pango Jintanutda ),a striving painter and a woman who dares to love him.
There are many great characters from both side of the law,and many of them even died which broke my heart.Almost nothing is black and white in this tale where two brothers rage battles against each other.Its epic,heartbreaking and addictive to watch.In my opinion,of all these characters it was Son Yuke`s performance as the eccentric Burapa that captured me,i was so awed by him and i will say i have never seen any better performance from Son Yuke than in this lakhorn.Damn,he was so badass and sexy that i wanted to eat him up!Lucky Preecha for capturing his heart!
(By the way,i was so surprised when Preecha sung the song "Black Sea" from the lakhorn Game Rai Game Ruk,i love that song so much!!!)

I actually never planned to watch this until i stumbled upon a Mv in Youtube.Thinking how good Lee Wan looks (i was not particularly a Fan of Shin-hye) i just HAD to watch this Drama,despite guessing this is a tragedy.
Already from the first moment there is a hint of sadness...of how it all will end.But for the imagination of it you try to hope,and that hope grows greater when the main-leads first glance at each other.
Park Shin-hye deeply expressed the purity and innocense of Hana,and her optimism for life.Reuniting with her "Stairway to Heaven" co-star Lee Wan who plays the introverted step-brother Yoon Suh.Lee Wan is captivating in the role,and you just Can't take your eyes off him when his piercing eyes shows pain and love from his deepest soul.Hana and Yoon Suh are star-crossed lovers,and in life all they ever wanted was to be together."Tree of Heaven" is a heavenly tear-jerker about life,sacrifice and love.Its so raw and meaning-ful, and brings unforgettable songs to the whole melodrama and romance.This is a classic that will stay true to my heart forever...!

There was to my relief not many side-characters to the story,and it unfolds in a fast pace that i liked.The directing,writing and acting are well done,especially when it came to the main-characters.This is a trainwrecky thai lakhorn,so expect lots of screaming,fights,love-triangles,slap-kiss, misunderstandings and evilness to the whole plot,and the greatest warning is that there is a scene where the hero rapes the heroine,hence he earns her bitterness throughout the story.His greatest mistake was that he raped her full well knowing that his younger brother Pinyoh also loves her.
I have only ever seen Bee Namthip in a Evil Nang Rai role opposite Kim and James Ji in "Buang Hong",so it came as a surprise seeing her in a victimized Nangek role in this lakhorn.Her portrayal of Arisaara Chunhagon made a spectacular character that showed the gentleness and caring,a poor young woman full of life and innocence.She is loved by many men because of her beauty and goodness,especially her male best-friend Pinyoh.But she meets her match in his older,mature brother Panin.Her savior and kindred spirit who hurt her,and she unknowingly also hurt him.Their bond will only grow stronger with time,despite the bitter hatred between them ,Panin and Arisaraa never could stop loving each other.
I have never seen Chakrit Yamnarm on-screen before this lakhorn,and i could understand why so many viewers loves him as an actor while watching him portray the wordly sophisticated heir Panin Nirapai. Chakrit oozed charisma and sexiness through Panin,with his wild "Heathcliff" looks,he simply stopped my heart with just one smile! Panin is a character that loves his family deeply despite their faults. Seeing the generosity from Arisaraa,it comes as a shocking surprise to him that there exist such goodness in this world,as he had been side-tracked to many times in his cynical world of money and power. He falls in love with his Arisaraa, and gets heartbroken when he realizes his beloved brother also love her. There is a savagery inside him that only Arisaraa can release, and only she can stumble him apart through pieces.Chakrit does well in expressing the longing and possessiveness Panin has for Arisaraa, the link between them are in their child,Pete. (That reminds me little of "Autumn`s Concerto") and i just love the angst and intensity between Panin and Arisaraa in the scenes between them. Their eyes says so much their mouths don`t dare to say.
I also wish Chakrit and Bee had another lakhorn together,because every scene with them are filled with electric chemistry!I want more more more with them!And i want to watch more lakhorns starring Chakrit too,he is not only handsome but a damn GREAT OF A HELL actor too!

I watched for Wang Xuan...gahhh this man!
This drama starts off very hot and amazing and does keep that way until the second part where everything gets to telenovela-ish. The initial plot is very exciting though, FL seduces the man her father sets her out to seduce and don`t remember the night afterwards. So when she goes to the Shadow Reaper, the infamous racedriver for help in wrecking her coming marriage wedding, she doesn`t know HE IS THE MAN SHE SEDUCED AND SPENT HER NIGHT WITH. So our ML is enraged by her attitude and in turn he proposes a deal for her to be his servant until the wedding date. Their chemistry is lovely, ML is very smitten and possessive...the way he pursued her took my breath away! His devilish smile by the way, yummm!Was this review helpful to you?
