Great article.... Great idea ..... Great choices ....."My Girl Friday" ...."Bringing Up Baby" , "My Man Godfrey" .... "Smile You" .... "Wild Romance" .... some of the funniest movies/shows ever !!! <3<3<3
Cary Grant , the king of screwball comedies .... (especially w/ Katherine Hepburn) <3<3<3 .... makes me want to go re-watch some classics !
Seriously love this guy..
He has lots of Charisma and Charm and talent..... Comedy is his strength ....
He deserves a leading role... he is Talented and Handsome...
ep 8 and I have to drop it .... I can't believe I am dropping a Ken Lakorn !!!!!!
so far nothing happens ... very very very few funny moments ... no character development ... we don't learn anything about them , what makes them tick , etc... so , I don't really care about any of these characters !!
EDIT : I can NOT drop a Ken lakorn ! ... so I went back to finish it .... skipped over any part w/out Ken ... b/c very repetitive .... Just a lot of screaming as comedy !?!?!?
ep. 8 and Finally they started showing interest in each other ... so a few good moments .... after 15 episodes of ' the chase ' , finally they r back home and the drama starts .... way too late !!! .... very badly written show :((
This was a very good story ... But , something was missing ....
--->>> Mainly , the writers should have explored a bit more why Paat would have such distrust and hatred for women and love .... 1 ex-wife leaving him for money is not enough to explain his extreme reaction !!!
(I'm Thinking of "Sawan Biang" .... I completely understood Kawee , why he had so much anger and hatred , and why at first he did not 'Sympathise' w/ or 'Love' anyone.)
Also, some of the Supporting Characters were not well developed ....
... and two over-acting actresses playing the sister and the GF.... not worthy of Ken at all :(
... On the other hand , the male supporting actors were all very good : Chit, Waraat and especially Pootawee (the actor is great!)
I liked the story , the characters , the main couple... It kept my interest ... maybe it is a bit too long , but entertaining nonetheless (I skipped the doctor's love story tho) ... It is not brutal as a slap/kiss ... probably b/c he was in love w/ her even before he knew who she was..... but it had lots of Hate/Love/Revenge Angst !!!... Davika Mai is a good actress .... Weir only needs his hottness .
Toth and Bow are a very Cute Couple .... their physical fights were the best .... especially when he asked her what color belt she is ...hahahha !!! (she replied 'Black' and he's like , 'OK , bring it on' ...LMAO ) .... besides , as always, Weir likes lots of skinship. ;)
I dropped it the first time...came back months later to try again, simply for Jiro's sake.... BUT I can't !!!..... dropped after ep.1 again !
I can't take Ella or her horrible over-acting...not even Jiro can save this one :((
This is a very good story , Ken filled w/ angst in a love/hate relationship is at his Best!
I liked all the cast... and would have given a higher rating ....BUT...
I wish Aff was a better actress.... her bad acting put a damper on the love story ... all she did was cry throughout the entire show ! ... she only has one expression on her face :(
try this (http://soku.youku.com/search_video/q_jai+rao+eng+sub) .. or (http://www.viki.com/tv/1366c-cracked-heart-jai-rao)…
btw, soku.yoku only has ep 1-3 eng subbed :((( .... But , it is so addicting , I am continuing it on YouTube w/ Spanish subs - I only understand about 60% - :(( Did u watch it w/ eng subs ?
This is now one my fave Lakorns ...... lots of Angst/Jealousy, Great Humor and a nice sweet Romance !!! What makes…
On viki...called "One in my Heart"... http://www.viki.com/tv/4335c-one-in-my-heart
it is very nice... things make sense, no unnecessary 'noble idiocy' etc.. I liked it all...Enjoy!!
I skipped all the parts about Sansanee's story-line until towards the end, when it became relevant, affecting Soraya ... I didn't miss a thing !! I dislike lead's character as the "noble idiot" For a while the plot did not advance but it was filled w/ fun antics, so it's OK... Aff's acting is not good, annoying screams ... Aum's acting is not much better, he is not expressive. I agree w/ below...the rape seen was Not necessary (no effect on plot), even if it is a lakorn. :( Good story tho ... the best part was the beautiful scenery on the islands - that would include Aum ;) ... and Aff
This is now one my fave Lakorns ...... lots of Angst/Jealousy, Great Humor and a nice sweet Romance !!!
What makes it one of the best is the Excellent Writing, the banter b/w Ken & Janie is hilarious !!! ..... and of course , the Excellent Acting adds lots of dimension to the characters ..... The Supporting Cast is also great .
.... Ken is a bad-boy again , but in a childish way , so it's cute.... nothing too outlandish , for all those twho hate slap/kiss style... but plenty of verbal cat-fights !
.... Ken and Janie fights add Lots of Excitement. xD
.... It feels like a Hollywood Rom-com from the 60's and not just because it is set in the 50's/60's...:)) ..... I love it <3<3<3
OMG !!! ... I thought the actress that played his wife looked familiar ! ... I did not recognize her ! ... It's…
Yeah... better to wait...maybe it would help w/ understanding his motivation more... both films came out recently...so we r very lucky even if we see them raw at this point...

Thank you very much !... soku.youku worked ..(viki is raw) .... But , the video quality is really bad ....
I can't believe this is the only site to have it ...even tho it looks like a Very Good Lakorn ..and ...it has KEN !!!
Thanks for this intro :.... and thanx to you I saw "Sawan Biang" and loved it.
u said : "This stands as a testament to the strength of the Acting, Writing and Directing in this lakorn.".... Very Very Very True !!
Loved the Well-Developed, very Complex Characters ... the intelligent and tight script .
as u said: Ken made Kawee vulnerable and sympathetic.....Yes! Kawee took the 'Bad-Boy' persona too far and crossed the line .... However ,we get the sense that it is NOT Self-Entitlement , but rather , anger and a bad-temper , that fuel his bad behavior .... so we can Not hate him for it! ..... glad he took the 'long' road to redemption....made it believable and realistic.... good writing!
Even the side characters were well-developed!
Awed by the Amazing acting !!!.... Ken is now one of favorite actors...
Will try out your other recommendations!
WARNING: Sawan Biang is NOT for everyone, there is shocking and intense abuse!!!!
EDIT: I bet my warning has just made a lot of people curious as to how bad it can get ... from my experience... all such viewers have regretted watching it!
