Kha Khong Khon (2011)

Entertaining

I'm surprised that this show isn't that well-regarded on MDL. It's probably one of the most entertaining Thai dramas I watched in a long time, with very compelling chemistry, and pretty good tempo.

With Thai dramas you sort of have to accept that the male lead is a jerk 99.9% of the time. In Kha Khong Khon, he is still a jerk but he doesn't score that high on the jerk scale. When he's normal he's sweet enough. The female lead is your typical pretty female lead who's always on about her dignity and somehow falls in love with the nastiest guy in the world. In Kha Khong Khon, the female lead topped the pretty-o-meter; she is gorgeous.

The plot is really nothing to shout about, the characterization is also nothing to shout about, but this drama is just entertaining as it is. The chemistry between the actors is sizzling and they put in some very good performances (with great visuals as well). The plot moves pretty fast in the first 12 episodes or so. After that it just goes round and round, so you'll have to make good use of the fast-forward button.

I like it though. Thai dramas always have dubious plot and logic but at least this drama is great in all the other aspects.
