Duang Jai Nai Montra (2021)

I will try to not give too much spoiler

This lakorn is definitely different than your typical slap kiss and romcom. This lakorn is about a heartless warrior from two millenia years ago who was cursed by the person (Matira) he love at that time. Patchara spent the last two millenia years finding his heart and each time when Matira reborn he would always asked her to lift the curse she had placed on him.

In the present time, Patchara met an artist name Prao, who look exactly like Matira. Prao have a heart condition and is on the list to get a new heart but have never found a match. Patchara kidnapped Prao to his island where he hope she would lift the curse but to Patchara surprise, Prao cannot recalled her past life. Patchara have a hard time believing it because each lifetime Matira would always remember and that was her last wish is to always remember what Patchara had done to her and her family. Prao agreed to help Patchara lift the curse when she remembered and in return he will give his heart to her.

As Prak'ek and Nak'ek spend time together, Patchara start to believe that Prao is not the real Matira. Prao is a lively, kind, and thoughtful person who very much reminds him of Lata. Patchara for the first time is in love again. Eventually, Prao recalled her past life and indeed she's not the real Matira. Prao is actually Lata, and honestly although I don't know how I feel about that I guess it's more realistic that Patchara fell in love with someone else.

I am all for a tragic ending but only if Matira let go of her vengeance and came to realize that what Patchara did in the past wasn't because he didn't love her. IMO, it was selfish for Matira to pretty much hope Prak'ek will choose her over his duty and when he didn't she felt betrayed. I wish that Prao wasn't Lata and just someone who happens to be born to look like Matira. I feel like Patchara fell in love with Prao not because she look like Matira or reminds him of Lata but rather her personality and character that is full of life. In a way it gives him the will to want to live.

I love that Patchara character is smart, he's logically and reasonable. More importantly he doesn't let his emotions and personal feelings affect what he believes in. I love that each characters in this lakorn was well explained and they each play an important role. I absolutely love Prang and Peter pairing as well.

I really enjoyed this light hearted lakorn. The chemistry between Nycha and Tono is absolutely beautiful. Although they both haven't publicly announced they are dating, they pair so well in their character. I have watched other real life couple does lakorn but there's always something that is missing for me and for Tono and Nycha it's naturally there.  

One thing I will say that I didn't really enjoyed is the editing. I feel like the editing was so off and the scene didn't really connect together. If its was only a few episode I would of been okay but that was throughout all the episodes. The OST by Tono was beautifully sang, the lyrics was sweet and it fit right with the lakorn plot.

Definitely give this lakorn a try, you might like it. It's not a complicated plot with a lot of misunderstanding or affairs, its actually a very sweet and romantic lakorn.
