Ha Jung Woo, Peter Ho, Odagiri Jo, Chen kun, Go Soo, and Choi Won young are younger than 45.

Part 2 is a bit better than the first. What a waste of all this excellent talent!!
Ziyi and Takeshi are always, always a great joy to watch.
I am no fan of Huang Xiao Ming, but I must admit he did a very good job.
Da wei and Masami are also great.

Zhang and Kaneshiro are always amazing, and I will watch anything with either of these two Great actors. They made it worth while.

Overall , I was disappointed .... Well, with such an amazing director, writer and super-star cast, I was expecting something captivating. I don’t know what it was, maybe the plot execution, or screenplay, or perhaps character depth, it just was not memorable, despite the beautiful imagery, the technically excellent directing., and the wonderful all-star cast’s acting.
All the ingredients are excellent, but the outcome was bland.

Every single person was involved in a triangle. Even the brothers there are 3 of them. The mom and dad are involved in a triangle. Triangle is one of the themes of the series, besides brotherhood, revenge, romance, family ties, loyalty, betrayal, business, politics, history, etc..etc...etc..
All 3 males get a love interest, only one ends happily, another ends in tragedy, and the third is ruined by the actress dropping out, but he gets over her quickly.
Melodrama w/ lots of tragedy, but Excellent Writing and a unique story-line , and incredible relationships.

He made an immediate indelible impression and proved unforgettable.
He has talent, looks and charisma.

I believe 1999-2002 period had the most of my favorite lakorns. It was an excellent period for writing in lakorns.

Thank you for the list. I prefer the older lakorns.

So sad to hear he suffered in his life. Died too young. He had lots of talent, I really liked him in Koo Gum 1988, in fact I ended up adding him to MDL because I was so impressed.

This is hard-core slap and kiss, not for everyone or just anyone!! It's good for what it is, the revenge is very good, the leads had chemistry, the story is very interesting and it was told in a captivating way, so good director. Besides the kidnapping and rape for revenge on her parents, it did not have typical lakorn tropes.
I like the lead actor, he did a very good job to stay likable despite behaving like a jerk.
I only wish it had subtitles because the emotions got complicated at the end. Since I watched raw, I read recaps of the entire plot and certain scenes from the forums on Asianfuse, which helped me understand key parts

Thank you for writing a guide deserving of him. And especially thank you for writing a guide about this legendary icon.

******. SPOILER OF ENDING OF PART 1 in series *******

He breaks her heart after giving her the daisy necklace and they were betrothed to marry. .. He left her because he became Sorio after his cousin, the original Sorio , Mario's characters, was proclaimed dead (they fake his death).
He did not want to put her in danger... but he never broke off the betrothal, that's why no man dared approach her.
*****************. END SPOILER **************

Their first meet is one of the cutest I have seen. They were the Fun part of part one,, compared to the quiet and subdued main couple. ...worth watching, as I said I like the villains and story better in part 1..... Hands down, part 2 is a lot more fun due to Ryu and Minami.

I believe it was on dailymotion, maybe YouTube... if you don't find it, send me DM and I'll go on my laptop and dig up my private list and give you a link.
Sorry for late reply, I only come on MDL every few months lately.

I believe it was on YouTube, about four or five years ago.

True.

I agree. I feel she is wasted in this drama.. I wish they would write a story about her and GUI, that would be very interesting.

Last I heard, it was on Viki. Otherwise search dailymotion or the non-legal streaming or downloading sites.

I forgot where I watched it, or the quality of video, which is usually poor or just OK for older lakorns.
Try : Jasmin Lakorns , and/or Alwaysmeena, - they list places to watch (legal sites or YT) or give you link to download.

Thank you for taking it on the subbing. Chakrit it is gold!!! .... and this has a mature, non-typical plot, so all the more interesting :)

LOL, if it's frozen, it's likely Botox :P

Look for the Alwaysmeena page on FaceBook, you may have to join their groups to be allowed to watch,..... also most of the groups are Private, so you have to apply for approval first.
There are several FaceBook accounts for various Subbers of Thai shows.
