I always tell my sister who has never watched a Lakorn that first-timers always either claim “Hua Jai Sila” as their first, or “Kleun Cheewit” as their first. They’re like the first project (picking between two topics) of Unit 1 of Lakorn 101. Both shows have their toxicity (y’know keeping it relative and subjective), problems/contradictions, slap/kiss, enemies-to-lovers, and so on. “Kleun Cheewit” had its problems too.
Regardless, for me, “Hua Jai Sila” was the show I first watched, and I enjoyed it. People are hung up about Sila’s actions and all, but they didn’t bother me. I like how he carried out his revenge and never batted an eye. It kept things interesting. I also enjoyed the OST.
The villains really brought it home, and Sila’s support team was likable. So, yeah.
What did you watch first? “Hua Jai Sila” or “Kleun Cheewit?”
I watched this for the 2021 Watch Challenge, and it surprisingly can be used for a LOT of categories: https://kisskh.at/discussions/forum-games/58165-mdl-s-2021-watch-challenge?pid=1464703&page=1~Since…
Well, okay then 😅 Thank you for the review and analysis. (No sarcasm)
Ahgase here! I loved it 💚 I was introduced to the Thai actors and I’ve watched a show/movie of each of the actors. Scratch that. I have yet to see James. I want to watch this one movie of his. I just haven’t gotten around to it.
Anywho. I thought Jinyoung played a good villain. There’s this one scene when he’s talking to BamBam, and the way Jinyoung’s facial expression changes, it’s like he’s trying to convey the villain as crazy but with a duality that some can’t place.
I love GOT7, and I think this was a good project! 💚 Ahgases always mention that Thailand loved/loves them more than BTS! And I have to agree.
Maybe it’s an allegorical film that conveys KDramas vs Lakorns or K-Pop vs. T-Pop. Or I’m thinking too much into it.
After bad romeo,this is my fav lakorn this year.... so good,really love the chemistry fern and tre 😍😍..…
Yeah. Go for it people who haven’t watched it yet! And I need to check out Bad Romeo. It must me really good! I keep coming across comments that mention the drama.
Saint is his usual adorable self and Orn is too cute. I’m only 5 eps in, but I’m really enjoying this more…
They really get better as the series goes on. And I’m glad they have more of a role compared to the original. But I respect your opinion. I guess they’re simply not everyone’s cup of tea. And maybe they kinda represent how Thai slapstick humor isn’t everyone’s cup of tea either 😅 it kinda ruins the serious moments.
Who knows, when I rewatch it again (which I know I will) I might find them annoying. But I enjoyed the duo.
I think it’s really the martial arts choreography and the early ‘00s Hong Kong vibe it’s got goin’. Although the ending may seem a bit ambiguous, in retrospect, it fits.
You’re right. I actually told my sister that. Both are good to look at separately. Especially when looking at the sentiment and motifs. Maybe, the book is the spark notes. Provides clarity to certain characters’ actions and true nature in the movie.
My favorite romance movie. I think it was pretty much a Hong Kong production, that’s why it was bold, understated, and well executed; especially for a romance.

Edit: MangoTV is so lazy. As mentioned by other commenters below, subs stop after a particular episode. I’ll continue on with my search!

But seriously, thanks for taking the time to respond and explain. I appreciate it.
And no problem. This is my favorite Thai drama. So, I’m always willing to answer questions related to my favorite dramas.
Note: The FL isn’t that likable, and the ML hasn’t won me over. But then again, I’m pretty sure we aren’t meant to be won over by the characters.
