I am on episode twelve and although I agree with all the other comments that the flashbacks are overdone, they do provide the backstory which is quite helpful with the overall drama. I am looking forward to the next twist in the tail...LOL GREAT SHOW .
It is still here although it state blocked in country it still played. No Eng Subs though.
Thanks, it is still there but they is blocked in Texas USA...I am glad I have already watched it, but I wish I had downloaded it. with English Subs when I had the chance.
I believe the main actor is Andrew Gregson and this may be the first lakorn he did with Kob. I would like to see it, but I have never even seen a copy of it posted anywhere.
This is one of the older lakorns which evidence how badly women were treated in Thailand in the not so distant past. It is still a hard place to live if you are vulnerable. However as a period piece, if you can get past the story line Andrew is a great actor and I pretty well always end up liking his shows and his characters.
Is RAPE prouded in Thailand culture??? He rapped her and before several times almost raped and by design they…
Check out this article for a better understanding of the position these actors are placed in...also it is all most of them have ever known. I'm not saying I approve but stating the reality of the social culture there. https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2015/05/150506093016566.html
Lakorn's are very different from most of the Asian dramas. Probably the most dramatic difference is in the treatment of women and the number of male gay actors. The male gay actors are actually quite good if treated somewhat stereotypically.
Unfortunately, forced sex/or even rape seems to be considered approved foreplay in Thailand. In more recent years the rape laws have become more severe, but the enforcement of these laws if virtually non existent. It is quite apparent from watching Lakorns or reading international news articles that Thailand is still a very scary place to be if you are vulnerable. The police and the media are very corrupt. And the corruption starts at the top. It is hard to blame a lot of these Thai actors as this is the environment that they all grew up in. There has been a lot of progress considering the continuing political unrest, sex trade industry, drug and criminal violence in general at least in lakorns I have watched over the years. Check out Dao Pra Sook (1994), which features two of my favorite Thai actors Andrew Gregson and Kob Suvanant Kongying , if you want to see how far things have progressed. Or just watch Ngao Asoke oldest version to newest. Quite different.
This is Lakorn which you will either like VERY much or DISLIKE very much. Mint is very good in this show and Bomb is pretty to look at. You have to suspend your sense of logic to enjoy this show. I did like it and have re-watched it since it first came out. I really became a fan of Mint because of this Lakorn. I think everyone should give the show a chance if you like Lakorns at all. Lakorns are an acquired taste and for the most part are very different from K,C, T dramas. Their production value is not as high, scriptwriters and actors not as experienced in many cases and certainly don't have the budget that KCT dramas have. but most of all they are operating under STRICT censorship guidelines. I can't find with English Subs anymore. It was on VIKI but when it was sold they did away with most of the FAN channels. I thought I remembered it as one VIKI had the license for but I guess not.
Subbing this too ^^https://nekomeowmeow.com/khunmaesr/
I really do thank you for all that you do for the non Thai speaking Lakorn watchers. I am enjoying this Lakorn a bunch. I'm on 22 and have no clue where it is going from here.
I agree this will make my top five lakorn list. I even rated this show a ten as I liked the leads so much. The only couple I didn't care that much for was the older brother. Dad was a downer but that is normal for lakorns...Mom's were not as bad as usual in lakorns. Will definitely watch again.
Lakorns are different from other Asian dramas. In this case the main male...very good looking I might add...if he was an employer in the US he would have been sued for sexual harassment. If you skip to about half way through the lakorn it is very enjoyable...I never got that she was really into girls at all, I think it was just a ploy to put men off.
I agree in many ways, but I would still tell people to watch it. It's been a few years since I have watched it and the ending is not what I remember. I smile every time I think of this show because of Gong Yoo, all of his scenes were wonderful. The scene with the rash rates as one of the funniest scenes I have ever watched. The ending wasn't so much as bad as just blaaaa as time goes by.
