Meh. No chemistry and little skinship between the leads makes the relationship unbelievable. The ML tried his best but I saw little response from the FL character. It's an okay watch. Nothing too tense in the way of relationship breakups, or evil wannabe girl friends lurking. The girlfriend wannabe in this one was merely a nuisance and he wasn't interested at all. The oddest thing about this is the way the younger brother's storyline went off the rails at the end. I think they were trying to make out that he was like a child who had been raised by and idolised his older brother and didn't want to share him with the FL character ,so he attempted to destroy the brother's business, take over the company etc. That was just so illogical. And you get the vibe that was he nothing more than a creepy little pervert who's in love with his older brother. Yeek! The ending was fine but all in all an odd story with a plotline that tries a little too hard to be different from all the rest. Now if they had the brother trying to destroy the ML because of envy over his power, position and favor from grandad, that would have made more sense. The ML has the looks and is quite skilled in his acting but what's with the overdone makeup-on him? And surely they could have afforded more than a couple of tracksuit outfits for the FL? But anyway. It was okay but I won't be re-watching.
Just loved this light, fluffy, feel good sweetness overload. This is a great show to watch for an entertaining time without any of the tension and melodrama that leaves you feeling tired. All the cast did great, especially the two leads and the assistant who had some great comedic moments. A sweet romance without the usual evil wannabees trying to sabotage the relationship and some lovely kissess and affection shown by the leads. Highly recommended for a feel good, stress free watch.
Short and cute with no over the top melodrama. Just good tension throughout, a lovely romance, a well developed and completed plot, good production with some beautiful costumes and of course, a happy ending. Even with the mild tension, you never had to wait long for it to be resolved. Attractive leads who can act well. Enjoyed this little one.
This one is a cutie. Nice short episodes make it very easy to watch. Attractive leads and a story you can switch off with, but still enjoy. Even though there were some elements that were unbelievable, that was all part of its charm. Just enjoy this fun,light story which has good tension and a well developed and logical storyline with no real gaps where you have to guess what its all about. The backstory is filled in and explained well. The leads were nice together although I didn't feel much chemistry. The bad guys get their just desserts which is always good to see. I do like stories where the wronged leading lady comes back and avenges!
Great story which didn't drag at all for me. Attractive leads who really acted well. Loved the strong, smart and feisty FL and the character growth of the ML from a cold, unloving, man to a warm and loving family man who was absolutely smitten with his wife and son. The storyline developed really well with some good villains with developed backstory so you understood their actions. I thought four villain subplots over a 24 part series was a little too much. The crazy, lustful, adopted 'sister' was one which could have been dropped as it was the most obvious 'cliched' subplot, along with the other 'girlfriend wannabe' but that one finished quite early. Interesting addition of business politics, rivalry and espionage but the dynamic duo managed to foil them every time! No violence towards women and no slapping. One of the bad girls tried to slap our heroine a number of times but she stopped her every time. The most adorable child actor played the role of the son and he had some really clever and funny lines. Supposed to be a six year old but this kid was at most 4 or 5, but very talented. As the eps were 35-40 mins and there were only 24 eps, I consider this a short Cdrama, compared to some of the epic 80 episode ones! A good watch if you want a light (tension but it wasn't too tense), sweet, logical story with good production values and acting.
Well I really enjoyed this one! It's the oldest production I've ever watched (I usually don't watch any produced before 2000) and the video quality was poor - looking at times as though it was screen recorded from an old vhs tape I suspect- but it wasn't unwatchable. The story was quite different from the usual slap/kiss I enjoy in that the heroine , Rada (played very strongly by our Anne-such a talented actress) was the strong vengeful character and a tough little cookie too who gave back better than she received from the villains!
The mother character was well played and showed real character growth. The evil aunt was cartoonish. The brother was smart, sensible and not willing to judge Anne's character at face value. He wanted to know why she was acting like she was, which is more than P'but (Nok's character) did. The young neice character was cute and well acted by the child actor (who would be well in her thirties by now) and for once, not annoying as a lot of child characters can be.
The story itself was quite well developed. I've saved my fav, Nok, till last. His character was well acted as usual, but I don't think the writers gave him much to work with. The character was a mummy's boy; weak, lacking in character, hesitant to disobey mummy in anything. The character did undergo some subtle changes for the better during the drama where he realises that he loves P'Da and can't do without her, but it took him an awful long time to grow some backbone and step out of his comfort zone to actually proactively go after her.
All ends well of course with all the threads weaving together nicely and we find out the truth about past events. There were a couple of places where the story seemed to jump a little but this is forgiveable for such an old recording. So all in all, I'm not sorry I watched this one. I would download and rewatch it if the video was better quality, but alas. Watched on YT
Hey does anyone know we I can watch Episode 15, part one? Can't find it anywhere but at least we can see the final half of the ending episode. Tried all the usual spots plus Daily Motion, DramaCool, subber's sites etc.
I keep starting to watch this but the video quality is so poor I give up after a couple of minutes. I'll watch it, but it certainly won't be one of my binge watches. My eyesight can't take it. No other copies available anywhere with eng subs?
I put on lakhorns that i had watched. I have by the way seen Jam Loey Rak many years ago once, the reason i did…
If you're referring to Sanaeha Sunya Kaen, it's probably one of the top three of the most extreme slap/kiss that I've seen. Just a trigger warning, this one has multiple violent rape on the FL by the ML. Sawan Biang and Mia Tuean are the other two in my 'most extreme' examples of slap/kiss. There may be more out there because I certainly haven't seen every lakorn.
How many slap/kiss scenes are there? Is the ML really abusive?
I can't give you a number because I don't remember but i do remember being happy that there were some decent physical interactions between the leads instead of these awful fake kisses. What's that all about?? As for the literal slap then kiss....I don't remember any (but I don't remember the entire drama either so there may be). It's more in the beginning that he's quite dominant with her but I would not say he was abusive. Certainly not when you compare to others in the genre like...Sanaeha Sunya Khaen and Mia Tuean. Now there's some abusive ML behavior!

Fair enough. The character is probably more domineering than jealous, although he does tell her he's jealous when he sees her with the second male lead. The character is not as bad as Dome's 'P'Kin' in Sanaeha Sunya Kaen, that's for sure!
Dominant/possesive ML's are my guilty pleasure as well. Here are a couple more I really like: Aum Chumnanon in Jam Loey Rak AND Raeng Tawan (love, love his character's development). Film Teokongsap in Game Payabaht and Mia Tuean (the character is a real jerk but over the top jealous/ dominant/possessive.), Dome in Sanaeha Sunya Kaen (a psychotic rapist but man, talk about possessive & jealous!) Om in La ong dao, Dream in Barb Rak Ta Lay Fun , Porsche in Wong Wien Hua Jai and Weir in the 2009 version, Nok in Namphueng Khon. Great list. Thank you.
One of my absolute favs. Just love his screen presence and acting abilit and he's so attractive. Madly hoping that we'll see him on screen again very soon. Come back to us. We're waiting!!
Not bad. At least it was enough to keep me watching all of it while only skipping over a few uneccessary parts. The SFL wasn't as bad as others I've seen. She seemed to have almost a separate story line and the character's inherant evil nature was more developed than normal. The video quality was pretty poor so that took away from some of the enjoyment. The ML character was very unlikeable for almost the entire show. And I didn't like tht FL much better. He was cold, cruel, proud and unforgiving. Moody and nasty with her as well. Just ignoring her or telling her to get lost for most of the show. It was difficult to see a natural progression of love for the two. She was especially annoying in her constant crying in the first few episodes. Sometimes over nothing at all. Then later on when he declares his love for her (without really showing that love), she persists in remaining tight lipped and says nothing. Just stares at him constantly. At least the actress wouldn't have had many lines to learn! When she had already rejected a suitor, she said nothing to the ML when he thought she was going to marry this other guy. Leading of course to a couple of eps worth of uneccessary drama and misunderstanding. As another commentator has already said, it's difficult to see her love for him growing at all. Her actions certainly don't show it. At least he tried to overcome his own natural pride and arrogance and chased after her. She just stared. A lot. The period styling was on the low key side as well. Laongdao had much nicer costuming, period correct cars and furnishings etc. A much better story also. So it is a typical plot line with pretty average execution. It was an okay watch but because of the poor quality video, I probably won't bother to re-watch. Andrew G played a good emotionless, heartless character. I've seen him in other dramas and I can't say I've taken to him at all. Each to their own.
Actually it's amazing how many of these dramas are already on my all time favourites list and most are already on my plan to watch list. We must think alike!!
Great list thankyou. I only watch happy endings! I don't know if anyone has suggested adding La Ong Dao? Thai. It's a beautiful story with a sweet happy ending.
