Love, Duty and Brotherhood in Khun Chai Taratorn
This lakorn is a nice entry point into the Juthathep series because it explains the background of these 5 brothers and also why the grandmother is so set on marrying one of her grandsons to the Dhevaprom girls. The story centers on Khun Chai Yai, the eldest grandson, and honestly, his smile is everything. Every time he smiles, it feels like your heart just melts.
The plot mixes archaeology with a thieves storyline, so if that topic is not your thing, some parts might feel a little boring. On the other hand, the crossdressing scenes are pretty fun and give the show a lighter touch.
What I really like is that there are no villains when it comes to relationships. All the main and second leads are genuinely good people who want the best for the people they love. The only real conflict is inside Khun Chai Yai himself. He struggles between carrying out his duty as the eldest son and following his own heart. It adds drama, but I also felt a bit impatient with how long it took him to realize his true feelings.
If you are an eldest son or daughter, you will probably connect with the struggles of both Khun Chai Yai and Khun Kate even more. Their situations are easy to sympathize with. On top of that, the show does a great job of showing the strong brotherhood among the Juthathep brothers, which makes the story feel warmer and more heartfelt.
