1. Abusive male leads and justification: it's just "tough love" @_@2. Rape = he loves her so much and so intensely…
Don't forget the old trope "I'm not a virgin so no man will want me." I'm all for abstinence before marriage, but the double standard is just ridiculous. Men can go and sleep around all they want, but women can't??
Watched this one three times over now. It gets even better with each viewing. Idk why people said it was boring, I didn't think so. Then again, I'm not really into action, so I skipped the action scenes and focused on the stories. LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. Beautiful story, developed characters, and beautiful men all in one lakorn.
The question here..why do you people watch lakorns?? I've never seen one, but I got really annoyed by what's written..Are…
1) They're 100% a guilty pleasure. 2) Just because a few K-dramas are bad, does that mean you give up all K-dramas? I wouldn't. 3) I do thorough research on all the lakorns I'm interested in before watching. Absolutely NO rape, no sexism, no cheating, etc. 4) Lakorns are making a BIG move away from romanticizing rape. With each year, there are fewer and fewer dramas with rape scenes. If there is rape, it's from a villain and they actually show the extreme emotional damage inflicted on the recipient.
SO TRUE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS!!!!!! The long run-times are annoying, though to be fair, lakorns have fewer episodes. And channels are starting to do REAL kiss scenes, even channel 3's getting less Victorian about it. BUT THE RAPE THING. RAPE IS NOT ROMANTIC. YOU SHOULD NOT MARRY THE GUY WHO RAPED YOU. RAPISTS BELONG IN JAIL. I think part of it's a translation thing with how often they mention rape, but the R-scenes are NOT OKAY. I refuse to watch Sawan Bieng for this reason.
Still kept its initial charm that kept us all watching part one, which is a plus. Tan'er and Lian Cheng still have awesome chemistry. Lian Cheng's face mask guy is super cute. It's an enjoyable story, but it still has very noticeable flaws.
I miss the good old days when Lakorns were subbed rather quickly and put out for everyone to see. Now we got sites…
@chaz If you're so unhappy about subbing speeds, why don't you go learn Thai and sub them yourself? Subbers sub out of the goodness in their hearts. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to watch lakorns at all.
Finally, a Thai star that isn't old enough to be my father (sorry P'Pope!)! I look forward to seeing his future dramas. He was AMAZING in Tra Barb See Chompoo, even though I hated his character.
Putting the drama to rest at ep 12. It's very draggy and boring. The ML is a brat who never grew up. The audience…
I suspect that they sometimes use more dramatic makeup colors to wash a person out, which in turn makes their skin look even whiter. Just a theory though, I wouldn't know for sure.
The problem with this drama was the revenge was overdone to the point that I COULD NOT root for Peat and Kiew anymore. Kiew was too good for Peat, she should've moved away and found someone else who wouldn't treat her like LITERAL TRASH. Also, Peat's only redeeming qualities: cute personality when he's not being a brat and he's super hot. I still enjoyed most of it for some odd reason, but the repentance was too quick on Peat's part and Kriss's was downright cringey. I even felt bad for Chaya because Peat tossed her away so heartlessly, and then she ended up with the guh who tried to assault her. WTH DRAMA???
Interesting article. I, too, tend to appreciate the emotionally vulnerable male leads. In the Thai drama Padiwaradda, one of my favorite things about it is the male lead. He is emotionally vulnerable to the female lead about his difficult past. He doesn't try to hide it or pretend to be the tough guy, he acknowledges the emotional difficult of his past.
really? It 's great tha you liked it!i WAS WONDERING wether to watch it or not. How is the chemestry in this one?…
If you're looking for a drama similar to Padiwaradda, this is the way to go. This one isn't as good as Padiwaradda as far as I'm concerned, but it's good for the love story and for Pope. Pope and Diana have good chemistry :) This one is a slower romance, male-lead-likes-female-lead-first kind of drama. It's a feel-good kind of drama.

XD I heard he's a playboy in this one, and that is something I HAVE to see
