Anticipated Lakorns and Their Teasers 2017

Posted on June 27, 2017

As the Cupid Series come to a close, with its light and sweet taste of love to celebrate another one of Channel 3’s milestones, we will be greeted with a stronger dose of savory love in the latter half of 2017- and the lakorn lineup has gotten me so excited, I can barely contain myself.

The channel hosted Perd Gong Wic 3 ‘Move Forward Three Gether’ and released some of the highly anticipated lakorn teasers. I am happy to say that my anticipated lakorns have made it on the list!

Sorn Ruk Kammathep – Hidden Love- A Review

Posted on June 22, 2017

The ‘does-not-like-men’ lakorn trope is one that I really love watching. I am a sucker for these and if someone were to tell me that a show has a heroine who is a man-hater, I would more often than not check it out. I am curious not only to see how the backstory is constructed, but how the heroine’s thought process is changed throughout the show. For the sake of the age-old man-hating argument: all men are bad- can the show prove to our heroine that not all men are bad? It may seem like such a simple obstacle, in that she would just need to meet a man who changes her mind, and that may be true, but Hidden Love, Part Five of the Cupid Series, proved this argument wrong in such a thoughtful and careful way, no stones were left unturned. It is for this reason that I close out this seven-episode lakorn with such a therapeutic, rewarding feeling.

James Ma and Margie in Arkom

Posted on June 13, 2017

James Ma is back on screen since his portrayal of Dr. Sattawat in When a Man Loves a Woman– which made me want to pull my hair out no less – but I was still excited to see his face. Arkom (Magic) is a story about James Ma’s character that comes back to life after a deliberate bomb that hits the airplane containing his whole family. A mysterious sorcerer not only gives him a second chance in life but also teaches him magic in order to seek retribution on a group of rich men who are complicit in the murder of both their families. It’s very much similar to a superhero type storyline where the hero has another identity and hopes that friends and love interest from his ‘previous life’ don’t recognize him or complicate his revenge plan.

‘It Must Be Fate’ – Tricky Love

Posted on June 6, 2017

Oh this is cute. The pairing of Tono and Nychaa is really working for me. I took notice of Tono since the Star 6 competition but never followed his work on OneHD. The sixth story of the Cupid Series, Tricky Love, is his first foray with Channel 3 and I’m glad he took on the rugged but kindhearted dentist named Saran, even though at times, it seems like he’s in a different lakorn entirely. While everyone is in a romantic comedy, Saran seems to be in a melodrama. Cue very sad music. We can blame the poor editing on the director I suppose, because the tone of the show can seem all over the place, and the writing is rather weak, but Tono brings intensity to what could have been a very boring character. And his chemistry with his costar Nychaa? That makes taking a chance on this lakorn a worthy one.

The Cupids Series – The Beginning – Kammathep Hunsa

Posted on June 1, 2017

Kammathep Hunsa is the first story among an eight part series from Channel 3 called The Cupids Series by Broadcast Thai Production Company.

The series as a whole centers on an unsuccessful matchmaking company called “Cupid Hut” run by Khun Phim (Ken Theeradeth) who is the son of a wealthy hospital chairman, but he prefers to treat people’s heart in a non-medical way. He deems that every single person is missing someone special in their lives, and his firm would be the company that will find the missing other half. Unfortunately after being in business for 4 years now, Khun Phim and his eight employees could not turn the company around. His mother, the stakeholder had bargained that Khun Phim has 5 years to turn a profit; otherwise he would have to fold the business and come work for her.

When Khun Ramet Meets Pimrapat – Buang Hong

Posted on March 15, 2017

They could not find a dreamier Khun Ramet in James Jirayu, with relaxed hair that brushes below his ears, body clad in tailored but effortless suit, lips that wield into an easy smile, with sharp eyes that don’t miss a beat. He epitomizes the relaxed and down to earth feel that is Chiang Rai, a city in which he builds his hotel conglomerate. He expands his work throughout this large city through ethical means and truly cares about the livelihood of its inhabitants along with the preservation of its natural resources. In other words, he’s a dream developer to local citizens, much to the chagrin of the greedy developers who want to turn a quick profit. Right off the bat he has conflict with a competitor who wants to buy out all of the land unethically by bullying local people. But Khun Ramet is astute and clever as we can see that he comes out as the hero each time.

Waves of Life: Episode 1

Posted on January 26, 2017

After a long wait, the premiere for Kluen Cheewit is finally here. It’s not the kind of show to watch lying down, nor is it one of rainbows and butterflies. This show, if anything, is a story about a girl against the world. I can see different sides to this story that will get people heated and argue over what’s right and what’s wrong, and what’s the truth. One thing is for sure, our girl isn’t perfect, but she can make you empathize with her plight. Drinking is a frowned upon hobby in this show, but with a life like that, what else could you do to make the world a little more livable? Pass the bottle please, but hide the car keys.

Happy weekend, guys! Countdown three more days until I get to immerse in a lakorn once again. It’s been awhile, and we are so overdue for a good one. No pressure, Kluen Cheewit. I’m pretty sure I’ll be watching this show with one hand over my eyes.

How is everyone doing? Any plans for this weekend? Anyone still watching lakorns? 🙂 I’m also excited for the new crops that are coming to us very soon. I need some great shows to turn to after today. Or maybe I just need a drink.

My toddler is going through a sleep regression this week. That means that he used to be a great sleeper but is currently waking up screaming… multiple times a night. He has been upgraded to a toddler bed and a lock on his door. Welcome to parenthood. I am 14 weeks away from meeting my second boy, let’s just hope he’s a little less busy than this brother. So excited regardless! I hope everyone is doing well!

Mario Maurer in Banlang Dokmai

Posted on January 16, 2017

This is happening. A cute (perhaps romcom centric) lakorn starring Mario Maurer and Toey Jarinporn will air soon. The synopsis and theme is my cup of tea, because I really do like me some fluffy lakorn. And this will pair well with Kluen Cheewit, which is dramatic times twenty, Banlang Dokmai will sure to ease some of that dramatic tension.

Petch Klang Fai and Its Author

Posted on December 29, 2016

A new pairing is coming soon to grace a small screen near you: Petch Klang Fai, starring Mai Warit and Mew Nitha. What captured my attention the most is that this lakorn is based off of a novel with the same name, written by the award winning writer, professor, and mother: Dr. Winitchaikun. She’s my hero, really.
