Under the Spell of the Moon (Lhong Ngao Jun)
"ลูกเอ๋ย เอาชนะความโกรธด้วยความสงบเสมอ - ยายของพิม".
"My child, always overcome anger with calmness." — Pim's grandmother.
Honestly, this saying stuck with me after finishing the drama, Lhong Ngao Jun.
To start with, I really liked Pim’s personality. She’s such a good, loving person. She was a rare kind of female lead I’ve come across in dramas, someone genuinely caring and hopeful rather than typical or cliché. Some might say she’s a bit naive or even stupid, but I think she’s just too kind and patient. She wants a complete family and is waiting for everyone’s love — that’s pretty relatable.
The way their love grew gradually was something I enjoyed. The male lead did repent for what he did, but I still feel like he has more to atone for. The whole revenge thing over Pim’s brother Thip’s death caused by Khem’s breakup letter and the drunk driving accident was intense. But Aae going after the girl named Pim like that? That wasn’t fair. The false identity problem caused by Khem pretending to be Pim at the club led to much of the suffering Pim endured. Even Khem doesn't need to suffer for that particular reason when looking through facts. But despite everything, Pim’s character stayed strong and hopeful for love and family unity.
One thing I hated was Khem’s mom’s screaming- she just made my ears hurt every time she yelled! 😂
Compared to the newer version, I think this one did better with clearing up the misunderstandings and showing their love. The ML got his time to grieve and repent, which made sense. I also liked the ending where Khem got better, and everyone came together like a family. That felt real and satisfying. Stephen as "Aae" and Kob as "Pim" really brought their roles to life. Great acting.
After Pim, my favorite character was her grandma. She was amazing — her teachings and the bond she shared with Pim were heartwarming. The childhood scenes where Aae, Khem, and Thip rode bicycles along the road reminded me fondly of my own childhood. The hospital setting with Pim’s friends who are nurses was also nice to watch. Among the male characters, my favorite was Kimhan, Aae’s friend, who was portrayed as the intelligent and calm one throughout the drama.
Overall, this version of Lhong Ngao Jun stands out for me as the better adaptation !
