Pror Rak – Because of Love – First Impressions

Feature article

lovefia

Posted on February 6, 2023

James Ma reunites with Pie Rinrada in Pror Rak (Because of Love) as Singh and Ring respectively. I remember seeing them as brother and sister in Chart Suea Pan Mungkorn (2018) and think to myself that they had too much chemistry being brother and sister, so here they are front lining their own show about an adopted girl with paranormal ability and an heir of an old name family. There is deep seated family conflict, with Singhbordin (or simply Singh) as the heir apparent, the top of the food chain, beloved by the Patriarch, plus the conflict of Musika (or Ring) whose special ability must forsake life as a normal woman. Ring can see the future, and her job with the family is to protect the Patriarch, but upon Singh’s designation as the next in line, she was given to Singh as his sole protector. The caveat to her ability is that she must remain pure in order to retain it, thus the Patriarch ties her to Singh in matrimony so that he could stave off other men as well as his grandson. They are to be wed in name only.

Another trip around the sun

lovefia

Posted on December 20, 2022

Since we all made it another year around the sun, let’s pat ourselves on the back and do a little reflecting on the year gone by, which in all honesty, is the hardest thing to do. Even I prefer to forget about the past and try to leave it all behind. But sometimes, the only way to learn is to reflect, change things up and think about how we can do better.

The biggest prediction that Twitter would go down was one of the more interesting predictions. I mean, there is still a jury out on that, but when I stopped using Twitter, I free up so much time. I do not plan on going back, since I am enjoying this newfound freedom. But if I am being honest, we are all scrolling and, in this day, and age, what does it take for us to give pause and click on a content that we want to consume? I feel like half of the time that choice is taken from me when half of my timeline has recommended things that I care nothing about.

Ratree Luang “Love and Deception” – A Review

lovefia

Posted on September 30, 2022

Ratree Luang, also known as Love and Deception, is a lakorn that knows how to tell a good story. I mean, much of what makes a good show is that we are watching it at the right time for us. I appreciate the story more upon watching it in one fell swoop, instead of catching it live, because it resonated more deeply. The script is based on a novel called Mon Kammathep, which means Cupid’s Spell, which in all honestly, would have been another apt title for this lakorn. Novel adaptations are one of my favorite genres to watch because it means the story is well thought out and knows what it wants to tell us. Imagine that, there is a point to all of this. Granted, Love and Deception drew the masses of Thai viewers because (to me) the title screams drama, even the trailer is dramatic, and people love drama. Being the opposite of a drama seeker, it actually turned me away from watching it live, or at the very least made me bide my time. The choice at the time was drama versus coffee fluff (featuring the same male lead) and it was a no brainer for me, I always choose coffee for breakfast. But that is my loss. Had the title been Cupid’s Spell, I would have been deceived to sign up faster than they can brew a cup of joe. And I would thank them for it.

The Nostalgia that is Ken and Anne

lovefia

Posted on September 15, 2022

The premiere episode of Suptar 2550 (Superstar 2007) is nostalgic and warm and so much fun.

The biggest draw is obviously revisiting one of Channel 3’s favorite (old) pairing, the dynamic duo Ken and Anne. This lakorn is spearheaded by Citizen Kane Production, and directed by the actor himself, Ken Theeradeth, who also had a hand in writing. Suptar 2550 presents the parallel between real-life director/actor Ken and producer/actress Anne Thongprasom who plays Ryu and Kat respectively, who are also former onscreen pairing that are casted together again (after many years) in a show called Suptar 2550. The fact that this is like a fan’s dream come true, that their favorite pairing in their favorite shows get to end up together in real life. Squee.

Mario and Yaya in Keu Ter – Bad Romeo

lovefia

Posted on July 24, 2022

The long awaited lakorn, Keu Ter (It’s You) or Bad Romeo is finally here. It has been three years since we have seen either Mario Maurer or Yaya Urassaya on the small screen. In fact, since Klin Kasalong and Thongake in 2019. Both have been gracing the big screen and knocking it out of the park. They are back to a more intimate setting, opening our eyes and heart to the struggles of Saikhim, the heir of a hotelier and Kaokla, a small garage shop owner from the poor side of town. Helmed by Thong Entertainment (Anne Thongrasom), and directed by Aew Ampaiporn, who has brought us many exceptional dramas, Keu Ter is a melodrama about two people whose paths crossed and forever changed because of it. Sometimes you do not need to meet Mr. Right, you need Mr. Right Now.

Intro to Fah Piang Din

lovefia

Posted on July 12, 2022

The title of this show, Sky’s Only Land or Fah Piang Din, speaks to the sentiment of this story quite beautifully. There is a scene in the intro with a child who marvels at the beautiful sun. But her father, the general who has officially been given permission to return home, laments that although the sun is beautiful, at the end of the day it eventually sets back to earth. The same can be said about people, no matter how high and mighty we are, we ultimately return to dirt. That is such a humbling point, one we see the story continues to make as it progresses.

The Inspiration Behind Buppaesaniwas 2 – Love Destiny The Movie

lovefia

Posted on June 30, 2022

In a recent press conference for Love Destiny The Movie, out in theaters July 28th, the producers and director share their inspiration on how this movie came about. After Buppaesaniwas wrapped up beautifully in 2018, one of the producers for this film didn’t want it to end (same girl same) and it was such a hot topic that quite literally everyone around her couldn’t get enough of it. But ultimately the sentence that inspired the movie came from the author herself (Rompaeng), in that, P’Muen (ML) and Karakade (FL) are the destined soulmates and will meet and love each other in every lifetime. This premise has such potential retelling of another lifetime where they meet as different people and in different time periods, but fall in love again and again. The lifetime in Ayuthaya ends, but the lifetime in Rattanakosin (the setting for the movie) begins.

Mik Playing Twins in Divided Heart

lovefia

Posted on June 29, 2022

Channel 7’s latest weekend installment, Divided Heart or Sai Luerd Song Hua Jai, has Mik Thongraya playing twins Jay and Joe who could not be more different. We open with Jay, who works in the police forensics and he discovers his father dead at a car accident scene. Based on the evidence, he deems it a suicide. Joe is also notified but Jay doesn’t think he appears sad or disheartened since Jay has a falling out with dad, whom he believed to have caused his mother’s death (she also committed suicide), by cheating on her with her sister. Family drama, anyone? Though even with both parents gone now, the J’s cannot see eye to eye, because the biggest sibling rivalry in their book is winning over Noon’s (Thisa Varitthisa) heart, their childhood friend.

lovefia

Posted on June 15, 2022

Channel 3 has released their upcoming lakorn list for the latter half of the year, and there is something for everyone. Which ones are you looking forward to the most? We have some great pairings coming up, and that is probably the main reason why I would tune in – chemistry is almost everything! Granted, story is important too, so I plan to write first impressions for the show that catches my interest.
