What i love about Thae and Pitt is that there is so much contrast in their chemistry together.They don`t even have to kiss,the chemistry is THERE all the time.Thae is a strong,determined and vicious heroine from the start but when she understand the depth of her despicable actions towards Pitt..she understands that he is the last person who deserves this.So after their marriage she finally changes into a heroine worthy of Pitts irrevocable devotion.Pitt is born as a illegitimate child which was very painful to watch since EVERYONE always reminded and spurned him for it.Even with the obvious care and love from his adoptive family he still grew up thinking himself unworthy of Thae.I felt so sorry for him when even his biological father rejects his presence in front of everyone and declares what a mistake he is.Nadech did so well in expressing the agony and pain Pitt felt in those awful moments.He never losed control or lashed out...he was that much of a patient character.What i also love about him is the way he never could resist Thae.He denied himself of loving her even to himself so much that he forces himself to love Rawee.Thae once said to Rawee that she have never even seen Pitt laugh with Rawee,while he always laughs in the presence of Thae.
I really recommend watching this lakhorn,it has wonderful tropes in the romance genre like hate-love,marriage of convenience,love-triangle,jealousy,passion and fighting for what you believe in.Nadech and Kimmy did an incredible job in here,both performances was phenomenal and their on-screen chemistry was incredible.I love re-watching this lakhorn once every year!

Reminded me of Goodbye my Princess & Till the End of the Moon.
I finished this drama over night and i am so overcome with emotions it makes my heart hurt .Jin Chen is a ML in the form of a villain. His love for Yao was doomed before it even started because in a world of power hungry politicians and brothers Jin Chen had to become more cunning,vicious and ruthless than them,at the cost of his humanity which he entirely lost the moment Yao decides to leave him.
His words to her:”You are all that i have left ” was said calmly but firmly,indicating for her to understand (and us viewers) how lonely and starved he is of her love. He sometimes reminded me of Tantai Jin,utterly heartbreaking.
Yao is such an admirable heroine stuck in the never ending cycle. Her anguish and grief,her blooming love turned into cool hatred tied to the knowledge (especially at the end) that she would have gladly accepted Jin Chen ’s blinding love if it weren’t for his past involvement. This is indeed the tragedy of Love & Bid Farewell.

"I don`t hate you, I love you.But loving you is killing me"-Unknown
Dark romance set in the republic era of China. It has the ingredients of a classic slap-kiss, that was indeed very well done in the Vertical Drama format. Revenge, hatred, second chance at love, secret child, sorching hot passion & jealousy. Angst in its darkest form, the Marshal Male Hero hates to love his child-hood sweetheart whose father caused the execution of 13 of his family members. His forbidden love that was in a arranged engagement with his uncle. But alas he loved her in such a sorching burning way that it was self-destructive...and to not hurt her in his anger, he repeatedly hurt himself bodily, while also enslaving her in a torment of humiliation in the status as his mistress/plaything. But while his words hurt, his eyes spoke of unhidden desire and yearning for her love. It was so hard to watch these two in a clashing force of fire against each other, these destined lovers.Ben Wang`s best role in my opinion. He is so dark and tortured, in constant grief and torment. Miserable in loving a woman he is not supposed to love, but whom he cannot tear his heart away from.The way he constantly gazed at her..touched her.His raging passion & jealousy,oh yeah!!! He is a magnificent force of a creature, alpha male in his right. Ready to challenge anything and anyone in order to possess his beloved. He never could let her go even when she begged him to.

The angst, the depressing undertone...the darkness!
This was a trainwreck,wow!!China has really nailed the romantic angst when it comes to the storylines and the execution in their dramas. Blazing Elegance will definitely make you uncomfortable, set in the republic historical setting of China, just as the tensions and the war brew out between Japan and China, we have a forbidden love-story between two sweethearts (or yeah it doesn`t get that sweet later on) The only heir of the Grand Warlord Yi Qiuting and the school teacher Xingrou. Yi Qiuting is a dominating force, stubborn in everything he does and does not take no for an answer. His family was against his desicion in marrying Xingrou, so he did very immoral stuff to keep her with him. It was terrible the stuff he did and the way she desperately tried to escape his so called Cage of Love. His love suffocated her eventually. But in her heart she always understood his actions, she had that understanding for him. Even if it took her so long to forgive him, she also gave him a great deal of his own medicine by the way. Hehe! This story made me anxious, sad and giddy at the same time. I binge-watched it in one go.First time seeing the mainleads and they did by the way AWESOME job of portraying the couple`s complex relationship. Qiuting`s words: "If you die i will eat your ashes"-straight crazy cold line by him. But such a utterly lost, sick and hopeless fool when it comes to his beloved heroine.

A Classic Runaway Cinderella love-story...!
What made "Surviving Beauty" such a exciting lakhorn to watch was the essential story. I mean, what more do you want when you have a runaway cinderella bride on her road to seek refuge in her bestfriend`s brother Chalaybut`s farm but instead meet his deadly and bitter mortal enemy and rival Khetkham. Choenkwan find new friends, home and sweeping romantic adventure in the dark mysterious woodlands where we have a mysterious and evil Black Panther King trying to destroy everything and then she also has more problems added to a evil step mother who wants to force her to marry a man so she can steal her inheritance-and she is stuck with the ruthless and hot-tempered landowner Khetkham who she finds herself in a fake marriage with. We have the funny as hell hilarious sidekicks Tawan & Suang who mistook her for a prostitu** and took her to Khetkham at the start of this story, just simply hilarious!!!The story in itself being so entertaining we also have the beautifully developed romance between Kwan & Khet. Khet freaking rejected two women who love him, alas, he had given his whole heart to Kwan. It felt so bittersweet when we get to know that they actually had a blind date seven years ago in which Khet backed off in his way of rebelling against his fathers control. But fate made them meet in a wonderful way again...just so wonderful in how fated they actually are! My only criticue must be how lazy the writing became after Kwan went to the capital, just the material and mood went down a lot and i badly missed their scenes in the Woodlands of Khet. At least i am happy that the story concluded there at least, Kwan & Khet never got a break with how many challenges they had to face, so i got a few happy tears when they finally got their happy ever after on their love-spot with the help of all their friends and sidekicks! "Surviving Beauty" has the classic romance vibe i so much missed in the later lakhorns i have watched!

Ling Xiao was such a good Anti-hero, his mezmerizing eyes and charisma......uff!
I can absolutely say i loved Part For Ever and have re-watched some heartstopping scenes over and over again.Its just such a well done enemies to lovers trope!!I just love the Male Lead so much, the tragic essence of him and how he knew deep down how doomed his fate was in this life. It was as if he always knew. I love how he hated to love his enemy, new bride to be. How confusing he felt, ahhhh my heart went out to him so many times.This is a terrific love-story for a short drama. I just enjoyed the journey of angst, action and romance.

"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.

"Jai Rao" are a lakhorn that will obsess you and cheat you. With the exceptional performances and on-screen chemistry of Ken and Aff, they made this lakhorn super. It have it all for a Romance-Lover. Professional cast, incredible dynamic characters and a Epic kind of Love-story that never lets you forget it. We watch yet another Romantic lakhorn where Ken plays the role of a Smitten Alpha-hero and Aff playing the Gentle and Kind-hearted heroine-they are both reunited lovers but gets stuck in misunderstandings due to the hurt of betrayal of her leaving him many years ago. Trust me guys..This lakhorn are so heartbreakingly bittersweet and beautiful.

Nadech and Yaya will always be my favourite couple. With their 5-star performances as the brave but flirty Captain Ramin and the beautiful but bratty Petra Pawadee they stole our heart with their electric and warm chemistry in this crazily funny,cute and exciting lakhorn.This one made me both laugh and cry hard,i always cry when it comes to suffering of NY`s characters..i always feel with them. Had waited for over one year for this lakhorn..and it has not disappointed me. NY are the best!

Seductive Romance that made my toes curl- The chemistry is amazing!
Not much different as a story in "Spring Night`s Fiery Kissess"- the only thing i found quite compelling in the unique department was that the Villains consisted of Three very powerful Brothers who were known as murderers and bullies. They caused the female lead`s sister to die, so our brave and broken heroine has her eyes set on seducing the most powerful Gangleader, in order to use him as her Sword to bring all the three brothers down.Chen Si is a force entirely on his own, omg does he captivate me as a viewer. His every glance, touch of emotion and the way he just simply oozes dark charisma blended with sexiness. Jadie Jia is utterly adorable on-screen and the way her character totally captivated the cold and aloof Male Lead and had him wrapped around her finger. Kyaaaa!!These two made my heart melt!

"Because i cannot bear to let you go." -Xiao Ren
"Gemini" is a historical action packed mixed with amazingly intense romance between our reincarnated heroine JinYu and her quite deranged hero Xiao Ren(who could even become an Anti-hero in another lifetime, he is insane). The title is referring to Twins, a northern constellation said to represent twins born together.Zhu LiLan is an incredible actress first of all, wow she performed both characters so perfectly. Her on-screen chemistry with the very sexy JunWei is chef`s kiss. Wow, if the screen could fire off all the sparks these two have! Every 28 episodes of this drama was roller coaster of twists and emotions. The tension in the first 5 episodes absolutely undid me because i was biting my nails over being confused to who the heroine was, luckily when i got it, ufff i GOT IT! Xiao Ren is a hero to die for by the way, wow, he have such charming smirk but you could not shy away from how deadly and dark he is as a character!I mean wow! The actor portrayed him to perfection. Director XiZi has made another hit out of this one! Story, Acting, directing, OST-Start,Middle, Ending-everything was on point and riveting!
