Onelovestorie

Aum really has drank the fountain of youth. She looks better as she's aging, honestly. An older actress you're missing is Janie. I loved her older lakorns with Ken and Andrew. She had pretty good chemistry with Ken. I don't like all the plastic surgery she's done to herself. She used to look so cute and pretty before.

I agree with Bella being one of the finer newer actress. She's soo good in pretty much any role she's in. I haven't seen one lakorn from her where she didn't have chemistry with her costar. I also like Mint Chalida, she's not the best actress but I find her super adorable like Yaya. As for Kimberly, I think she's an okay actress, but I can't seem to connect to her. as I find her pretty flat in all her roles.

Oh, I haven't checked out Sai Yai Sawad, how was it? I might watch raw if it was easy to follow. I know it will never get subbed. I have all of the Ngao Asoke's downloaded, even the Pong version (even though it's the worst one of the three, Pong is pretty good at being a jerk). I've had Lhone Ngao Jun downloaded since the time of viki. I loved both their chemistry and actually liked Kob's character in it, Even the remake is pretty good.

I kinda want to stock pile my fav slap/kiss and older lakorns, and yeah, Sawan Biang is already downloaded lol.

I love rewatching older stuff, not being able to watch those shows makes me really regretful. I'm sure someone, somewhere, has them downloaded but we will likely never see them again. It's why I downloaded some older lakorns. I also have a list that I need to download to future proof myself incase they disappear too one day. Especially from subbing groups that seems to come and go like poof.
It's even worse when you pay some of the groups and they close down, only to reopen months/years later to require money again for access.

I know I'm getting old as I've been saying this for a few years now lol. I prefer the older lakorns since most had better acting and tighter script.

I wouldn't put it past thai directors to try and redo lakorns. They like to publish new faces by launching them with remakes that they know are beloved so the new faces get maximum exposure.

Aw, you don't enjoy Aum and Andrew? I really like Aum's acting, especially his angry scenes. Andrew is also one of my old time faves. His expressions and understated acting is rare in lakorns I find, same with Chakrit, him and Andrew are both very unique Thai actors that act very realistically.

I always feel really sad about all the lakorns lost due to the viki purge. I really wish they released the soft subs so people can at least download them instead of removing them all together, It's such a waste of time for all the subbers and timers that spent hours of their time working on them.

Honestly give it a go. She is the finest Thai actress. I actually love her pairing with Ken, every one of their lakorns together is chemistry magic.

Anyone know if the novel is fully subbed somewhere?

If you haven't already, the lakorn that started it all for me was Jam Leuy Rak. It was my very first lakorn back when crunchyroll still had dramas on it. It's a slap/kiss and very true one at that.
Other slap/kiss that I enjoy to bits is another one of Ann's, Sawan Biang. It's been rewatched almost as much as Jam Leuy Rak. I keep rewatching it not because of Ann amazingly, but because of Ken, his acting in it was sooo good as Kawee!
Tang Parn Kammathep is also really good, I was a big Andrew fan back in the day.
Kleun Cheewit is a newer one and one of the only newer slap/kiss that I've liked.
Another newer one is Game Rai Game Rak. It's got some really cute moments and then turns pretty dark the later half of the show.

If you ant Tik specific lakorn thats subbed, I would say watch Roy Leh Sanae Rai for a slap/kiss, it's pretty good and I remember liking it, however I haven't rewatched it in over a decade so I can't say if that assessment will hold up.
My favourite of his is Prissana. I've even read the whole book because I love the storyline. It's not slap kiss, but it has really good chemistry, even through their interactions aren't very overt, you can feel the underlying chemistry from the way they look and talk to each other.
Another lakorn of his that I enjoyed was Wanida, he had pretty decent chemistry with Aff in that one.
Soda Gub. Cha Yen was subbed on viki once upon a time so I'm not sure if it's available anywhere else, but I remember liking that one a lot.

Don't read this if you don't want to be spoiled.







**She ends up with Teak and not Jung Hwan**

I don't know if you want to be spoiled. It's kind of a twist as many people expected something else. I was rooting for the guy she ends with the whole time so I loved the ending cause of it.

Lol thats actually true Smart is only good for smiling to show off his dimples, but he did have some chemistry with Ann in Likit Kammathep. Yah Leum Chan was painful to watch cause it honesty didnt seem like they were interested in each other.

I really want to forget this show, just so I can watch and fall in love with it again. I usually rewatch shows I like, but it's hard with this show since I haven't forgotten anything for a year now. I'm waiting for more gaps in my memory so I can watch with some cloudiness.

Honestly, Taek is too adorable to pass up. He really warms your heart as the story progresses.

my superficial self is also guilty of the same...almost tempted to watch until I saw Yan Yi sans hair...so skip for now.

God, what a train wreck. So many hours of my life I won't be getting back. Only redeeming quality for this show was the acting.

OMG, can someone please for the love of god sub this? I love Ann to bits, but her and Tik produced as much chemistry as eggs on icecream. I want to see this pair in this setting.

Got a new fan, just watched RRPJ and I was gawking the whole show. He kind of reminds me of Nadech (the eyes...?). I would love to see him in more shows!

This lakorn has ended my dry spell for crappy dramas streak. I was on a roll, every show I watched was lacklustre so having stumbled upon this show, I am enjoying this way more than I thought. The couple has serious chemistry. andI love that the FL is outgoing and actually stands up for herself. Meanwhile, the ML isn't a douchebag and is actually very considerate.
I will wait for the last three episodes to be subbed so I can review. It's been a breath of fresh air so far and I'm glad I started watching this on a spur.

Anyone else totally enraptured by Jeua and Jan? Those two were scene stealers! I honestly LOVED Jeua. She was comedy gold with her candid one-liners and honest reactions to the crazy going on around her. I think the actress playing her deserves a huge nod for her portrayal of a clumsy, loose-lipped servant with a propensity for truth saying in an evil character that you don't see that often. It's sad to see that she doesn't even have a mention in the cast under dramalist.

It's a real shame that so many side characters get neglected when sometimes they shine and stand out way more than main characters who can't act at all! Case in point the female lead, she was really awkward in most of her shy and sly scenes. All we saw from her was a random smirk/smile that looked so out of place. Before the stans come after me, yes, she's super adorable and I get everyone's got to start somewhere, but why come out as a FEMALE LEAD when you're wet behind the ears? I think it's a common problem in a lot of lakorns, and I can't even blame the actors/actresses as it's the bidding of higher ups and channel heads.
The male lead was too wishy washy playing his jackyl/hyde character and even till the last episode was so sterotypical that I honestly didn't want Cheewa to end up with him. He played along with Kade, knowing she has feelings for him and never made himself clear with Kade (he sometimes ignored her, sometimes snubbed her, but also went along with her at times and even initiated some conversations, so I actually felt bad for Kade at times). Acting wise, Porche is an old hand and didn't have any issues, it's just his characterization that bugged me to no end.

Anywho, I enjoyed this show, mainly because of it being a period piece and the side characters. The main storyline was kinda boring and the issues regarding Cheewa's mother were so vague, we get pieces of it here and there and I still don't understand how she became paralyzed from the legs down, plus what the backstory about the grandfather and Cheewa's mother having to leave the city was all about? Thats poor writing on the the script end. But, as I said before, I enjoyed watching the show because of the gorgeous costumes and overall story was pretty decent.
