Mia Noi (2019)

Since there are no other reviews, I figured I'd go ahead and write one with a few thoughts after watching MIA NOI.
(BTW you can watch it in pieces via YT if you search "Thai Mistress English Subs" on there.)
So. I've watched a TON of Lakorns. I've seen the good, the bad, and definitely the ugly. This one (for me) definitely fell into the "good/best" category, but that's not to say it didn't have any flaws. I think we ALL can agree, that ALL Lakorns seem to have them and they are usually pretty noticeable.
HOWEVER... let's be honest. Don't we watch Lakorns for those tropes we all love to complain about? Crazy Exes/mothers? Must Have. Super aggressive/hot-headed ML? Duh. Slap-crazy chick fights? Yes, please! However, some do those above with an actual STORY and good acting, while others... not so much.
So, here are a few random thoughts about this drama.
1. There is a LOT of abuse in this one and rape insinuated several times.
2. The above is HARD to watch. It was heart-wrenching in this show.
3. The acting was very good, imho.
4. The storyline, while a trope, felt fresh because of the FML... they wrote her with a LOT of inner strength to rise up from the Hell she'd fallen into and I thought her character was SO well written.
5. One plot point towards the end (what happens with her parents) felt forced and like they just threw that at you for no reason whatsoever but just to have more "drama". I personally felt it was so out of place and unnecessary.
6. The last few episodes was like a shoot-em-up at the OK Corral. Insanity. But, hey, this IS a Lakorn and they tend to be a bit over dramatic, am I right?
ALL IN ALL... I actually REALLY enjoyed this Lakorn and it definitely landed at the top of my "fav lakorns" list!
