It has a stupid amnesia plot that makes the pra'ek act like a twat.
Vill Wannarot is very annoying as her island self, coming to the big city for the first time. The way she talks, also the way she looks, and cries half the time, with wet nose and mouth that looks like some kind of animal's muzzle... Like I mentioned, I only started to like her better when she got older and more sophisticated. But in this lakorn, she is supposed to "transform into sensual theater actress Wanida". Well, she's got wide lips, close to those she has deep vertical lines for someone so young, so she can look a bit coarse. That's why "sensual", probably.
The whole thing of course doesn't make any sense as she could have just returned to her island where she was able to live happily without having any money (ain't that a dream life? lol). Yet she stays to struggle at the bottom of the big city. First she starts off as maid, being abused, then slowly works her way up. All this of course only to meet her pra'ek again, who is not even worth it, for he... looks like Son Yuke:-) Okay seriously, he's just not worth it in general. Plus there's Nat Devahastin so who would look elswhere (like the Egg Butsakon's character... that girl is hard to understand: probably just has to follow her script, to be the nang'rai).
I watched Kaew & Boonma, as they are supposed to be "of the funniest secondary couples ever" and their "first meeting totally romantic and charming". Okay, the FIRST meeting occurs in episode 14, she is crossdressed looking as a male thief, and kicks him in the crotch. Now there you have your most romantic and charming meeting. It wasn't even that very funny. Also there comes Marasee, much appreciated character, wearing flaming red lipstick. I tried to watch this for her at least, as she's supposed to be great. See, what reading other reviews does to me? If not for those, I'd probably dropped 'Sao Noi' way earlier and wouldn't get to epi of such number, wouldn't first bear being bored THIRTEEN times. Okay, the 15th episode IS a bit better;-) There, I finally started having some fun, and it really was thanks to Kaew & Boonma (it's true they were both really attractive besides funny, unlike the leads) and other side characters, hardly the leads. I'm sick of watching Vill Wannarot crying. Or pining over the amnesiac guy, stupidly calling him 'Siam', still.
With such annoying nang'ek, it would be understandable to start siding with the nang'rai, LOL. I started to have more understanding for Egg Butsakon's character later on, but it was a pitty she didn't turn more towards good and did not find happiness with Nat Devahastin's character... I was inclined toward this couple way more because it had an attractive guy, LOL. But their "dramatic finish" (in front of many people watching) made me laugh, morelike. Meanwhile, the Vill Wannarot's nang'ek changes her hairstyle into mature looking one, starts wearing flashy lipstick and updates her behavior, but it's not all for the better... Nevertheless, I enjoyed this at least a BIT more since 17th episode on, so if anything I can recommend to be patient with this lakorn in early stages.
...And then in later stages, too. As it all drags for a VERY long time:) It's all apparently derived from 'Little Mermaid' story, including the stage variations of that title with nang'ek staring reproachfully at pra'ek who is sitting in the audience. That is even repeated several times over (perhaps the scriptwriter was afraid that someone would STILL not get it, lol). Vill Wannarot sings the annoying title ballad in full several times over, too... In the end, I give still generous perfect average rating due to being practically worn out to death by 34 episodes of a material that would be MORE than sufficient for 14 (I didn't see THAT much of a character development). I have no strenght left for more criticizing, LOL.

Bangkok Love Stories 2: Hey, You!
0 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
As for the story, this one doesn't really have it (kind of reminds me of other Bangkok Rak "Stories"), as the little it did have already got played, and re-played the first 3-4 episodes. Just somehow the characters STILL did not come to understanding, because it needed to get stretched for 13 episodes with them each running their own restaurant separately.
As I naturally cheered for them to be together, I wasn't keen on them being artifically separated or with the classic use (or rather abuse) of the side-character girl and side-character guy to keep the plot going. As for the side girl, I wanted her to just go away, and as for the side guy (he was the T-Rex in U-Prince) I felt bad for him. I never like it when extra person is needed to keep the romance on.
Also it seemed what Wanida's character practically turned into a negative one. Can her romance still continue? Then she cries in remorse... She genuinely is sorry and is forgiven... Then other characters get entangled in the revenge... While other side-characters are cute and funny to watch. It's all a mishmash (just anything to prolong the screentime). It's going in circles with all the characters, all their relationship go back... and forth... and back. If someone seems like they had enough, a lot of effort is made to get them on board, again. Then push them away, again. In short, it's tiring to watch 13 episodes with the material enough for 3.
In the end, the plus guy and the plus girl found a small romance of their own, which was cute. So I no longer did mind their secondary story: on the other hand, I got tired with the main one and with "Gybzy" Wanida. She's got extremely small frame and a smooth face but there is something weird about her as she IS a 35-year old woman. Somehow it still shows. The more annoying her character's immature behavior. Not only was she blocking her own romance, later even somebody else's.
She acted badly towards her boyfriend years back, but she should get wiser in her age. Also, she made romantic gestures for him to forgive her many times already... So, her character couldn't just do one grand romantic gesture in the final epi and get her happyend like they all do. The boyfriend was way too tired by then, and so was the audience... But to let the things go as far as a WEDDING with somebody else is a very old way of a romantic story "climax"... which in this case felt ESPECIALLY old. Even Tai Penpak's happyend was cuter (she is extremely beautiful woman in my opinion, by the way). Pitty the gay best friend didn't have his own side-line & happyend.

Also the 1st couple does not have very likeable plot, which is also featuring old Johnny Anfone - who now looks hideous while his acting skills have NOT improved - so it's more or less skippable.
Nevertheless, it all comes quite quickly to a conclusion and the 9th episode already feels like the final episode and it could be, if not for yet another unnecessary twist.
Troughout the series, there keeps to be loads of action, in compare to that the romance is relatively scarce. When the romance comes to more focus, it gets too mushy. Quickly we go back to the action thriller but as for the romance, it is not kept as thrilling (and that's what I like, thrilling romance:)) Watching all the fighting among some using magic, cgi smoke, invisible ghosts, etc. doesn't do it for me. Supernatural is not my cup of... well, anything. Also the crime lords didn't really interest me. I was more interested in side-people like Non Thanalop Pridamanoch's character. Pitty his actor never got many roles.
The series has distinct visual stylization, especially the colors. There are many sophisticated interiors. The music tries to add to the atmosphere too, but it's a random mixture that sounds like it's borrowed from many sources here and there.
The supernatual cr*p is the usual mix, as well. The leads can read each other's minds, but only when it's convenient for the script. As usual, the least pragmatic person works as a doctor, the least observant person as journalist, etc., etc. After Margie Rasri's character uses the same way of "healing" on everyone, we expect her to use it on the guy she loves, too. But suddenly she changes it for a kiss that is supposed to conquer all magic. Romantic, huh? Well, the kiss is fake. And there was not even need to push that not-kiss onto the audience at that moment... This is the way it goes on with everything. By the last 2 episodes, it all dragged till no one cares anymore. The lenghty finale (well, all the episodes are lenghty) is just tiring, as this is truly average in all storytelling, conclusion or moral.

What can I say? This is (always was) something else.
Firstly. It. Is. A. Bowie. Song.
A song powerful enough it INSPIRED a whole SERIES.
Please read the previous sentence again to appreciate THIS fact fully.
The. series. is. originally. british.
This fact, though it may not seem that significant, actually is. It's funny, too. There exist more than 2 series of this exact name. If we talk about english-spoken version of Life On Mars, BEWARE extremely. There are TWO of them and they were released only 2 YEARS APART. They have identical synopsis.
!!!MAKE SURE YOU ARE WATCHING BRITISH (UK) AND NOT AMERICAN (US) VERSION!!!
Forgive me, but I can't stretch this enough:)
The other funny part is now the series being adapted in asia. This is quite an unique situation. As we all know, most of original ideas come FROM asia, morelike LOL.
We can take it from the most iconical sci-fi to a mellow romance as 'The Lake House' with Sandra Bullock. It is just adorable that THIS TIME the original idea is english:)
What Is The Original Idea? What Is The Original Concept?
Well it is EXACTLY that thing what makes some people here rate this lower than 10. It's the series being MYSTERIOUS genre, not a Sci-fi. The questions ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO be answered!! (Though 'Ashes To Ashes' did - that's also the reason it's not as good). The main hero IS NOT SUPPOSED TO be any wiser, to have time travel machine, produce future technology to amaze everyone, to be an astronaut, to become his own superior's mentor, to guide and protect everyone around him, etc.!!
The most endearing, AND funny, AND compelling, AND emotionally thrilling, is the fact the main hero remains misunderstood and unbelieved by the others as to where he came from. He got transferred from HYDE, and that's it. LOL. The story IS NOT, and thankful for that, about him convincing everyone that he is from the future. Kindly watch any sci-fi series for THAT. It's not about him getting all the answers and it's not about exploring what is this phenomenon, either. Sorry but if you won't set your head straight about this, then don't keep watching. Keep watching if you want to watch something different and FUN!
The Story.
One thing is the running-on story and the actual story. Most of the sreentime is (seemingly) filled with detective solving cases. But don't get sidelined by that into thinking the writers wasted an opportunity here.
HE SOLVES CASES BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE DOES.
He is a detective. If he was other sort of person, he would've just as well kept doing some other work. That is not what is essential here. The 'Life On Mars' is not actually about that, but it takes time for some viewers apparently, to realize. Though the cases remain part of the show's entertainment, of course. And the entertainment is PLENTIFUL, on so many levels. It's in picture, sound, and dialogue... It's in the main character's dynamics with others. For instance, his new boss thinks HE is the one taking HIM under his protective, guiding wing. That makes it all 100 more hilarious. Not to mention theirs is the best bromance I've seen ever. But by mentioning it, I am of course, getting closer to what 'Life On Mars' is really about...
The Atmosphere and The Humour. The People.
Surprise, surprise... That's the closest I'll tell you (without spoilers) what this show is actually about. You'll get to know what it is about by the series' end. And it might be for each viewer not necessarily the same. It's an amazing series and now we have korean version, even:)) Forgive me, but I can't quit being amused by this fact alone. So, SKIP the american adaptation if I can beg you, and let's see!
The Korean Version
Traveling to 80's Korea contrary to 70's Britain IS DIFFERENT and we can all probably agree we can't be surprised with that, LOL. It's good that this version can stand alone as such. It should have (hope it does, because I don't really know the iconical 80's korean music, hairdos, and so on) their own culture jokes and atmosphere and people. Something that american one failed to do, AMONG other things (though obviously, just like americans they also used the Bowie song... Looks like South Korea also doesn't have their own song equally as powerful as 'Life On Mars'). Even as 80's korean-culture ignorant I enjoyed this version, though.
Korea can do dramas so there's no need for anyone to worry about good enough cast, script or music to enjoy, just like any regular (good) k-drama. This would be a 10 rating no matter the Life-On-Mars theme. And if you don't seem to be interested/capable to see deeper, you might try to be a bit benevolent as an audience. Quit demanding the so-called "time travel" to get fully explained, just go with the flow by watching episode after episode, forgive the show if being occasionally "weird", and simply enjoy the period police drama of it. That itself is good. And you might surprise yourself in the end, if you see more in it after all. Or not. Just don't stretch yourself beforehand:)
The main thing about watching this is to ENJOY the watching, no stretching about "how is this going to be explained?". If you watched like this, come back to it and watch it again.
It's worth it.

Thing is, this lakorn has absolutely beautiful end credits (mind you, not the opening credits) accompanied by totally dreamy song (soft and subtle, different from the usual songs most lakorns use). The end credits consist of a collage (not the totally-spoilery bits like seen in opening credits) from the lakorn scenes, or at least you'd expect that. I for one started watching this lakorn as so many other lakorns: not hooked at first, but waiting to see when they take me - through whichever story - to those scenes seen in the ending credits, the dreamy bits, the kiss, etc:)
But when it came to episode right before last, and the scenes were still not there (instead the whole thing was filled with a load of ballast I fast-forwarded through) I started to worry that the most of the ending credit scenes came from some kind of promotional video and not the actual lakorn itself. 'Cause they sure did not correlate much with the story.
When mentioning videos. You know how in each lakorn you have a couple people start shipping and they make a lot of music videos devoted to that couple? We don't seem to have that couple here. We have two sisters, one is played by actress completely average in looks and acting skills and for the other, we have the exact opposite. How much opposite? The fanmade videos answer this best: they're all practically shipping HER alone. As she's lacking enough chemistry and story with any guy there (not her fault) and she's NOT the one playing the insane sister, the MVs consist mainly of her scenes - no matter whom with - and her acting. I say it's most extraordinary: what a compliment for such a young actress! The recurring praises of her performance also form the majority of general comments for Nari Rissaya, on fan-forum. So if she got you interested you should definitely watch this lakorn.
But was it enough for me? Sadly not. I want the same as always: I want romance!! Surprise, surprise. Watching lakorn, I want romance, lots of romance, good romance. Usually I get loads of ballast to skip through - I'm used to that - but here I did not even get the stuff I was skipping TO:)) Not much, that is. I won't spoiler you. So did the last episode finally deliver?? Not telling:-p

Cut off the 80% ballast, add more kiss scenes and it's great!
I have watched the prequel and sequel (both having the advantage they KNEW ALREADY what to explore), I still need to stick with Bad Romance.It has that something that makes me interested in the same sex relationship, so despite it being juvenile in compare to 'Together With Me', avoiding proper kiss scenes, and filling the screentime with endless antics of side characters you don't care rat's ass about, THIS has something.
What proves it the most are the "fictional interviews" with the CHARACTERS, not actors, that run after the end credits (LOVE the title song, by the way) that say it all.
So, though this material needed to be perfected in 'Together With Me' (still, the material WAS there else there would be nothing to prequel/sequel), you can glimpse that, in a way, it was already perfect here. It's just hard to see it. I know;)

Not that bad...
...as the synopsis would make it sound (or at least the old synopsis, as you read Soju's review here, then the synopsis now really is different:)I watched this to the end without fastforwarding through much, and that itself is an achievement. I was not annoyed with the kid. I liked all the servants on the farm. What I didn't care about at all was the second couple line.
Film is not as sexy here as he was in 'Mia Tuean' but this lakorn is NOT the same trashy genre, although it has some moments. In the end it was all about the heroine to become new mother to the kid and that was touching and nicely done (given the almost teenage looks of the leading actress, she really needed to do a good job to make her role believable). I skipped most of the action scenes and enjoyed this more like a mellow family drama. Not a re-watch material, but okay.

But soon the nicer brother comes to take his place, to have his chance with the nang'ek and to impress the dissapointed dad. As I thought even the previous brother was not that horrible, I felt kinda bad for him being pushed aside to live with strangers (the other twin grew up with). After a few episodes the twins find out about each other, but still stay switched (they make an agreement). But then only one of them can spend time with nang'ek...
In a way, this twin-switching kind of spoiled it for me. After I got introduced to the first twin who needed to redeem himself with his father and who fell in love with the nang'ek first, naturally I kinda wished for him to eventually win their hearts. Instead, other guy is put in his place. The worse: he is his lost, orphaned brother and therefore more deserving. So, the first brother stays a loser, acting more and more silly while the other one steals his thunder.
This is a typical Channel 7 thing where nothing really happens for as high a number of episodes as possible. Including assembly of side-characters that keep the main 2 from completing 1 conversation they need to have (I think I mentioned this in my review of another Channel 7 lakorn:) But, the main cast is easy on the eye and their character interactions are cute.
Episode 13 of 30, nang'ek marries... whom, actually? Well, she marries a guy under the name of the first twin. While it's the other twin in his place... Occasionally switched by the first brother in moments when he gets too jealous. On the wedding night, of course the first brother also wants to be with nang'ek. He sneaks into the bedroom, but this time the other brother doesn't let him switch. It makes no sense, the brothers promised each other to return to their original lives, anyways. Only one of them says he loves nang'ek, and the marriage was in his name. The other brother says something about it not being right or whatever excuse, but it's clear the scriptwriters just did not intend for nang'ek to be with the first brother. Not that the other brother wants to sleep with her himself (or at least not right away), he just sleeps on the sofa. What a wedding night! The night nang'ek shall always remember, lol. Should I wait 17 more episodes till she slowly gets together with the other brother so that in retrospective she won't have to regret having slept with both the brothers? Because only that can the "wedding night on the sofa" serve for...

I don't think WWII and thai buffoon-acting gels well
I'm not a fan of Bie Sukrit (I neither find him attractive, nor a good actor. Even after I watched 'Ruk Jub Jai' and understood he honestly works hard, it's just how it is). Or period/war. Not a fan of one nationality actors being cast as other nationality characters. Not very interested to see this was I, then:) Nevertheless, it got subtitled... So I tried.Besides the leading young couple, there's a numerous cast of "uncles" I know from many previous lakorns, of course. I don't want to offend anybody, I enjoy thai lakorns tremendously, I just don't think the WWII and thai buffoon-acting gels well. As one of the Tags here lists 'Tragedy', I was prepared for one (just in the different sense of it, LOL).
Well, the tragedy mostly consists of hearing Bie Sukrit trying to sound like born japanese. On the other hand, he picks up on thai language remarkably well, LOL. It was soon clear to me that if I was to continue watching, I just must concentrate on the romance side of it and ignore all the japanese/war element with all my might. Else this lakorn would get dropped by me in episode 1. So I really hoped the romance would be good (I rated 'Teacher's Diary' 10, despite it being almost "one man show" of Bie Sukrit).
So, how's the romance? Pra'ek likes nang'ek from the start. He's supposed to be high ranking military official, yet he does not understand why they shoudn't be all friends. Of course it's to make him a likeable character, but it's a bit beside reality even for a lakorn. After all, they're at war, LOL. Whenever there's a slightest disagreement, he acts all surprised. It's easy to see why nang'ek is annoyed with him, there's many scenes where there's tension but he keeps smiling. Until one of those days nang'ek finds herself smiling along...? I tried to get hooked on the romance and I couldn't.
Even the simplest dialogue here tires me. Bie Sukrit and Noona Nuengtida speak to each other laboriously, as ones speaks foreign language. Plus Bie Sukrit then speaks this way even in the language that's supposed to be his own.
As Bie Sukrit is not pleasant to my eye and his or Noona's japanese not pleasant to my ear, plus there's many "uncles" with exactly the same way of acting like they do in a crazy lakorn but there is WWII, this already feels long to me after 5 episodes out of 24. How do I withstand all 24? Do I fastforward a lot? Oops, already doing that...
...And practically sleeping through it. At 9 episode out of 24... Pra'ek finds a GUY hiding in the closet at nang'ek's bedroom. LOL! I woke up... Oops! The guy is Oliver Pupart. Gah! I'm like starting to charge fine to this "lakorn". And now (perhaps because his character is supposed to be shocked?) Bie Sukrit starts speaking english, even (am I to be spared nothing?) which sounds like he's gonna throw up his own tonsils. Is this all like for real or not? I don't know whether I should laugh my a** off or angrily stop watching due the piety to WWII victims, I only know I can't imagine anyone taking this show seriously. Watching the antics of Ui Kriengkrai Oonhanun's character in the next scene... I confirmed there seriously should be a 'Parody' tag here on MDL, instead of 'Tragedy'.
At episode 10, there is a kiss scene (no faking). Perhaps things shall change for the better when the two of them are married? I'll be only glad, shifting my attention to their marriage, from the war. I like crazy humour sometimes, but watching thai parody on the war events? I better concentrate on the heroine re-playing the kiss in her mind saying to herself: "No, I hate him! He's the enemy!" And then he can come around and say: "Hey, no worries. See I am thai, like you! My name is Bie Sukrit!" LOL. If THAT actually happened in the scene, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. This IS parody, no matter what.
Next epi they don't bother to shoot real kiss anymore, so I'm afraid this show's ONLY asset has gone, LOL. On the verge of dropping this, again... I'm trying, Noona Nuengtida at least has her big expressive eyes, but Bie Sukrit just keeps showing his teeth tensely, which presents majority of his "acting". Ugh...
Epi 13: Truly bored. Yawn. Epi 14: I feel like dropping a huge bomb on the whole place so that everyone dies and the series ends now and not in TEN more episodes. Coincidentally, Bie Sukrit's character gives a speech in which he repeats he's willing to die. And I thought: "Please...":LOL. This is NOT the lakorn where I fastforward some scenes to get to those featuring both pra'ek & nang'ek together. This lakorn I fast-forward even during ONE conversation in between pra'ek & nang'ek! As I find it TOO LONG! Enough said?
I think I should really quit watching something I'm not really watching... Still, I feel like I should be awarded for surviving almost FOURTEEN episodes (didn't "watch" the 14th to the end). Because I have been suffering since the very first one.

First pra'ek & nang'ek's encounters are morelike crazy comedy. He doesn't know about her father, yet. Also pra'ek's chubby friend adds to the atmosphere (even though it's unexplicable why he should be friends with pra'ek, except of him hoping to get some of his girls). I thought the first episodes were still rather cute.
Slap/kiss begins too, nang'ek kicks and hits pra'ek each time so at least he should know she's not a girl to kiss strange guys. Him on the other hand doesn't show much morals, obviously he's not the one to restrain, with her and other girls. Nevertheless there is no kiss scene that would have a good (read visible) kiss. Which doesn't bring much improvement to this old genre.
Not only I didn't find the main cast top notch (they're far from "Dream" guy, lol) all the scenes featuring the side-cast only I wanted to skip entirely. And Michelle Behrmann's "kiss" scenes were just as fake as the lead one's. The story gets old after several episodes (no wonder there, as it's old from the beginning:) so only some fun & skinship could save this thing. Instead, we watch scene after scene with various attempts to fake it (at best, they do the kiss right beside the mouth).
As for the story, it's not very romantically enjoyable, because the main guy is an ass (someone commented in the below section that he's "like a mix of his father who was a drunk violent and jealous husband with the FL’s father who had a bunch of women"), the main girl unexplicably loves him after a couple of encounters and therefore lets him walk over her. Also she keeps listening to Tassawan Seneewongse's side-character, who has looks of wise kind aunty but everytime she opens her mouth only venom comes out. It's a mess of a script and no one of the whole cast (male or female) is my type.
In short, there's nothing to enjoy. And I'm no longer patient with this.

Oops! Mr.Superstar Hit on Me
1 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
But after 5 episodes, I realized this show just has a wrong title.
It's not Mr. Superstar Hit On Me, it's Mr. Superstar Got Me Pregnant.
He is not hitting on her, he wasn't even flirting with her (if anything, he flirted with her mother a bit), she just slips into his room one drunken night and they have a one-night-stand which happens off-screen.
Then she's horrified that she's pregnant. Her mother's horrified. So, it's more gloomy than funny...
And Pong Nawat, I mean he's still cool, but he does NOT look good with Jane Ramida...
Watching episode 6, everything revolved about the girl being pregnant and that point I already lost my interest.

Woo... whoa... she's 7 years older than him?:D
My, there sure is a plenty of reviews warning other viewers about how this is a mean revenge story and how the male lead is the most psycho of them all. So when I started watching 1st episode, the last thing I expected to see was a puppy-like looking boy (Pon Nawasch is 22 here, and cannot act much, yet) so if that's supposed to be the abusive male lead, he just seems a bit... immature? LOLz. Now, he got cast opposite a girl that IS mature, given she's almost 30. And his father is portrayed by 18 years older actor M Apinan: result being we have a pra'ek who's dad is way hotter than him, LOL. My... Let's say even after watching just few minutes of this, I already understood this lakorn's ratings vary from 1 to 10.The title song is great and nice opening credits make this look a way better than it actually is, to tell the truth. Music definitely IS functioning in this drama. Only problem the pra'ek's angry face looks like angry toddler's face, LOL. First 5 episodes there is no good pra'ek & nang'ek scene, yet (no chemistry when he still likes her, no good slap/kiss yet, or really exciting revenge scene) we obviously need to wait till the pra'ek returns from abroad for it all to begin (else I don't understand all the other reviews:) so I wonder... Shall he return as different cast? LOL. Because if he's back still with the face of newborn lamb, I can't imagine how this "psycho revenge pra'ek" stuff is going to work.
Epi 6... "Big"drama with Phit being abroad and accidentally meeting Kangsadan. Dramatic music soars... And the guy looks... Funny, ridiculous, still:) I'm sorry if I laughed at the wrong places, but this boy is just as menacing as a kitten. He couldn't look mean if he wanted to. Seriously, they could just have edited all these opening episodes into one and skip the whole abroad thing. But she asks him to come back and he asks her to forgive him (yeah, we're still at the stage SHE should be the one taking revenge on him, morelike) so we're still far away that dynamics every review here depicts.
As if we always need more people, Phit has another girl who keeps chasing him (and she wouldn't make a bad girlfriend) who has another boy who keeps chasing HER (and she obviously might be happy with him) so sometimes it looks like the lakorn makers are giving another options to the viewers which couple they could ship. Like they're not sure themselves what couple actually works on the audience... Well, the way this "pra'ek" looks definitely does not work for me. Child-like face, girly lips... AND too young looking beside his leading lady.
When more episode gets devoted to Chaya's side-character, I grow less patient with the story. That girl was shown the truth straight and still she would insist on pursuing a boy that a) looks like a girl b) is clearly interested in (yet) another girl. I'm so tired of this and it's episode 7. When shall the actual love-hate nang'ek/pra'ek relationship begin? So far, they are still going along rather well... I understand it has 24 episodes (so unnecessary) but how many more till the advertised story finally starts? And let's hope it really starts. As I still remember the korean series 'The Heirs' where they traveled all the way to America and we waited till they come back home for the show to finally begin and it like NEVER did, lol.
So far it's not real drama. It's all childish squabble that keeps happening in circles for unknown cause. And when there is no real reason for the pra'ek to HATE the nang'ek (yeah, suddenly he says he does, and she him as well), it's just stupid.
In episode 9, finally little something happens, which is a) funny the pra'ek is actually jealous of his hot dad b) unconvincing angry "kiss" happens but Bua Nalinthip's face and neck skin remains red on places where he briefly held her for the rest of the scene, so the only thing we are shown is that she's allergic to him c) new truths are revealed and discussed but forgive me, they might as well do this in episode 2. And yeah, they have a bit of a family crisis but still the title song is way more dramatic than anything that is really happening. Perhaps it's better this way, considering the level of Pon Nawasch's acting skills? Because I fear he'd make comedy even out of tragedy...
Epi 10: Nang'ek (thinking that they are siblings) tries to speak to pra'ek with patience, telling him he's no reason to act as the only victim (and she's perfectly right). The immature actor portraying our pra'ek has his "angry scene" which looks ridiculous (maybe if this was a parody?), secondary female (Chaya) keeps being annoying as hell (for no actual reason, of course) and then then pra'ek has an accident. All the characters are shown being super worried about him, regrettably with just me failing to share the feeling as audience. If he died, then maybe we could move on to a better story here?
Opening episode 11: and you know what? I'm not gonna watch it. Yeah, it opens with a new revelation about the annoying boy... But I really DON'T CARE. This whole story just doesn't interest me. The cast is super mega annoying. Frankly I don't even find them goodlooking (except of praek's DAD). I put up with it for TEN episodes. The time I wasted is definitely more important than anything about these characters. I don't care if they ALL kill each other, rape each other and die (that just to address other reviews, as for myself, I haven't seen anything midly exciting here that would upset me or awoken me from my slumber). So I'm not staying for FOURTEEN MORE episodes of this, thank you very much.

First I was bored, REALLY not into ghost stories. If not anticipating the BL appreciated by the reviews, this series would not live to show me its 20th minute, lol. I didn't like either of the guys, I found them similarly "attractive" to those in 'Lovely Writer' which briefly plays on one of the character's laptop. Episode 1 was a pain for me and if not for the positive reviews, it would be my last. Thanks to those, I decided to drop this after episode 2, instead. As much as I am a sucker for a nice kiss scenes, I won't watch a whole series for it anymore. It didn't save 'Lovely Writer', so it definitely won't save something GHOST RELATED.
Dropped after episode 2... Main reason: Lack of interest.

LOLz at David Asavanond's hairdo:DD
One of those shows that are action over-filled and over-crowded with numerous side-characters you don't give a rat's a** about.The whatever plot is stupid and best ignored.
I'm afraid there's just TOO MUCH ACTION, lol. And I couldn't bring myself to care for any of the hundred side-people with names like "Rosemary" that sound moronic in a thai drama.
Just skip between all the ballast to the bits with both main girl & main guy here and there.
Episode 6: Got bored even skimming through this.
Sweet ending song... Doesn't fit this show, but nice:)
