I could not avoid this one
"My Demon" is a drama i saw headlines of everywhere i went on the internet and my social circle,LOL. Everyone had great stuff to show and tell me about it so i was like, why the hell not? It was a exciting start and kept me on toes, this magical tale of a demon who makes a deal with a human. I felt the magic, darkness, enchantment and the romance in the air between the main-leads, reincarnated lovers and soulmates Do do-he & Jung Koo Won. Their exceptional love-story is the centre of it all in this epic tale where our demon becomes Do he`s savior in all the ways she never expected and she manages to stir feelings inside of him he thought he never could possibly feel. Jung Koo Won is a charming devil...witty, arrogant, dedicated, charismatic. And he thinks all humans are insignificant creatures...well except for when he meets Do-he,lol. I love this drama, its been so long since i watched a k-drama i really enjoyed like this one. It has one of the most stunning on-screen couple i have ever seen as well. This one gave me goosebumps, made me cry,smile and laugh and swoon with the magic and thrill of what was My Demon!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.

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!

One of the TOP Mini-dramas of this year...
"Hide One`s Love" is a classic theme of slap-kiss, old school and very trainwrecky in its execution and delivered so well by the actors and the director! The intensity & passion took my breath away! The story starts off very sadistic and dark, alas a very complex and toxic transactional relationship between the struggling heroine Rongen and the very ferocious Mob Boss/Tycoon Yejue. His actions does not fit his words. He may verbally treat her as a plaything and does state that he will break it off as soon as he tires of her, and he states that a few times, but in the mean time his actions proves otherwise. HE IS A SCHMUCK over her! He protects and cherishes her and is hardcore possessive and jealous, he cannot stand another man near her. Her hatred grew towards him, alongside the misunderstandings between them, in the meantime his pain and suffering of unrequited love took a deep hit on him. Still, he never could let her go even when she begged him.Chen Si totally dominated the screen, i mean his PRESENCE is freekin unbeliavable the way he takes you by storm! The luring danger and beauty, the blend is soooo sexy!!The way he longingly and ardently gazed at his heroine, like he could not get enough of her,ahhh my romantic heart! Guilty pleasure for sure!

Tension-so smoldering sexy i had to KEEP MY BREATH IN.!
Electric, Breathtaking and Sizzling- just what a crave for whenever i watch these Verticals (or reading a book). The idea of mainleads dreaming of making love to each other is such a exhilarating concept and it is not often done even in Romantic Novels, it takes me back to when i read one of my all time favourite "Lake of Dreams" by Linda Howard where the MC´s dreamt of making love with each other ever since they were children.We have the darkly menacing Mob Boss who is looking for a female with a Peach Blossom mark on her back shoulders, yearning for her with his every being and we have the terrified female lead not understanding the erotic dreams she is getting with the sexy stranger who can`t keep his hands or mouth off her! The whole crazy irony? That neither of them knows she is engaged to marry his nephew.

Okay, this was kinda new to me!
Not overall the twin swap, but the twin swap in a SITUATION like this, in this case where the good heroine married ML in her evil twin`s place. The good heroine and hero have a loving marriage, like soooo loving and then mids of all the evil twin comes back to take her place and kick the good twin to the curbs. I love that ML was so endearing and so in love with his wife that he felt something was wrong when he had the wrong twin in his embrace. Like his heart knew that wasn`t his wife.I feel like my heart has been stolen by Shan Dong. I have finished three Verticals starring him and i just can`t handle how absolutely gorgeous of a talent he is on-screen! The way he kissess and embraces his leading ladies, with so much passion! Ah, my, heart!!!

Heart of Chocolate...a story about fate.
This story is nicely written for being a old-school lakhorn. Terrific chemistry between Aom & Mos and a delightful tale of how they meet, befriend, fight and eventually fall in love. Both as enemies & lovers did they have wonderful sparks between each other, a understanding what the other is going through and helping each other with their heartache and loneliness. I love the scene where FL tastes the chocolate with her finger in front of ML in a cooking class, and the erotic look he gave her!!Wheww that was hot!We get a lovely cast of supporting characters that really made the story come alive, i loved every one of them. Well, except for the Second Evil Female lead, she is very spoiled and selfish, but she is not one of the over the top murder witches we see in other lakhorns. My heart went out for the Second Male Nop...so lovely and selfless.

One of the best films ever!!
After having seen "Drowning Love" starring the real life married couple Nana Komatsu & Masaki Suda and really liking them as duo and their performances i was pleasently surprised that they have another film from 2020 "Thread: Our Tapestry of Love" which follows a romantic drama of the slice of life genre where Ren & Aoi met when they were 12-year old and fall in love with each other. Ren desperately tried to save Aoi from her horrible situation but they get separated by the authorities and she gets send away with her family. Even after 10 years the now grown up Ren has still kept the thread Aoi gave him as a bracelet as he is still waiting for her in his heart.This film is a long journey of growth,life and survival. It moved me to tears with how sincerely it was portrayed. The chemistry between Nana & Masaki,omg my heart went out for these two! Aoi is such a strong character! I understood her goal of independence in a world that only had shown her cruelty, alas i wish she had come back for Ren earlier, so many years gone by and i was so saddened for his lonely heart that only longed for her. Just ahhhh my heart! Still shed so many happy tears in the end!

A story filled with symbolism..
The Girl in Blue is one of the earliest adaptation of Fei Wo Si Cun’s novels and she is literally called Queen of Angst since her main leads always suffer.This story is also among her heartbreaking ones!In this drama however the story is quite tied to the color of Blue and uses it as a symbolism in many ways. It revolves around depth and sensitivity and bravery , but also aloofness and sadness. Ruan Dong Zi uses blue matching light sticks to lure in Jia Qi’s attention. She is the woman who broke his best friend’s heart years ago,almost making him commit suicide and die in the burning house, in which Dong Zi saved him. Dong Zi has always despised Jia Qi, he wondered what on earth made his bestfriend lose himself towards that ”love”. So Dong Zi plans for revenge that was doomed to backfire on him so badly that the effects of it would almost ruin his soul and life. To trick Jia Qi into loving him so he would break her heart this time,this was his game of love..where there would be no going back from him or her there on. The magic blue lighting sticks, the secret written web novel (where the author name was Blue, though the author was Dong Zi,hehe) , the beautiful friendships and the secret game of love and the devastating love triangle. This is a story about three wonderful but flawed characters Jia Qi, Dong Zi and He Ping and how they find their meaning in life and love.

Watch this one for the main-leads!
Chen Fang Tong & Dai Gao Zheng totally fired up the screen in "Maid`s Revenge" so i have been unable to forget these two for a long while. I was so excited when i got to know they would star in a new drama together. "Forever Love" is a contemporary romance with business intrigues and politics. We have investigations going on, combat scenes and betrayals. But the fiery chemistry between the main-leads totally made this worth the watch, i binge watched it in one day. Dai Gao Zheng is absolutely gorgeous as the bodyguard Qin Mo Yao and i loved how absolutely besotted he is with Tong. Their love-scenes made me absolutely warm all over. Ahhhh how i hope for more dramas with both of them steaming up the screen again!!Was this review helpful to you?
