Krong Nampueng (Sweet Prison) – First Impressions

Featured

lovefia

Posted on April 22, 2022

Krong Nampueng would win a challenge called “You Know You Are Watching a Lakorn” if there were one. But Weir as Chalompol (aka Pon) is actually the perfect fit because he makes all of the tropes so believable with just one look in his eyes. In fact, when he is on screen it is very hard to look away, you may fall into the depths of those brown, soulful eyes, just as the female lead does, Prapye Ramida as Sai Nampueng. The title is a play on her name, sweet prison, or imprisoned by Nampueng, however you decipher it, Pon is going to be at the mercy of Nampueng.

Jao Sao Jamloey – First Impressions

lovefia

Posted on February 17, 2022

Behold, a bride looking stunned at a man that is leaning close, he may or may not be her groom, he may or may not be her savior. But her senses are heightened, she is confused, and his voice sounds ever familiar. How did she get here?

I mean, it’s just the first episode, Fia, don’t get your hopes up so high. Chill, girl. These are some of the things I tell myself as I am sucked into this story full of visually stunning cinematography and rich characters. Jao Sao Jamloey, or Prisoner Bride, premiered this week on Channel 7 and I may or may not be a teeny bit excited after the first episode

Ingjan (Hana Lewis) is in trouble. An aristocrat by birth, Ingjan is left with a palace and jewelry business to safeguard. Unfortunately, Aunt has squandered all of the wealth and corners Ingjan to save the inheritance by marrying the loan shark. Ingjan refuses, as she has her principles, so Aunt colludes with the loan shark to drug her and force her hand. Whether the drug is weak or the will of her late father is strong, Ingjan stirs from the sleep induced drug and manages to escape. Stumbling through the hotel lobby and across the driveway, she nearly collides into a jeep.

Rustic Son In-Law & Hi-so Daughter In-Law – First Impressions

lovefia

Posted on February 16, 2022

Not so rustic here, Mr. Fine Kem

Aired on Valentine’s Day, Channel 7 and Media Scene presents Koei Baan Rai Sapai Hi-so, which translates to Rustic Son In-Law & Hi-so Daughter In-Law. This is Kem and Mookda’s second lakorn together after So Wayree, and you can tell how natural they are together. It is not a heavy storyline like So Wayree, this lakorn is touted as romantic comedy – there are the usual slapstick humor, but I also found the small things that the characters do to be funny – it’s a pretty cast and a delightfully good OST. You can watch this subbed at Nekoland.

Karat Rak (Carat’s Love) – First Thoughts

lovefia

Posted on November 21, 2021

Karat Rak aired this weekend – I caught the first episode during Nanowrimo no less (will this add to my 50K word goal?) but I had to take a detour with Anne Thongprasom and James Jirayu who plays the leads in this show. Yes, my forever nang ek (female lead) pairing up with her junior! I had to tune in and grab my popcorn. Typical Sunday night fashion of experiencing a new show for the first time, forget the notepads and dual monitors.

I wondered if this pairing would work! Will James character call her P’Karat? Why is this idea so exciting? And after watching the first episode, I like where this story is going. It is FUNNY, adorable and holds a good balance of zany and innocent. While my enjoyment could be because I am a fan of the leads (who are we kidding, drama watching is a very subjective thing) but I will say that the characters and how they were written is quite enjoyable on its own. Nonfans can enjoy this romcom too!

Tono the Tiger

lovefia

Posted on November 4, 2021

Today I watched Tono’s Love in the Twilight, or Prajan Daeng (Blood Moon) and I must say, it turned out to be different than what I was expecting. If you recall, Tono was in Duangjai Nai Montra where he played a cursed immortal trying to find a way to end his immortality, so I thought Prajan Daeng may be another cursed predicament of his. But in fact, Prajan Daeng is about Sama who shapeshifts into Tiger Payak, an honorable tiger spirit that protects the wild animals in rural town Dok Daeng. This responsibility usually falls on the village chief (or heir), but Sama (who thinks he is unlucky at a young age) was given the tiger spirit as the chief passes away in his father’s makeshift clinic – a recluse mansion. Sama not only takes on his father’s legacy of being the town’s doctor, he also becomes Tono the Tiger. The should-be village chief’s son, Nontha, resents the fact that Sama possesses the tiger spirit.

*SPOILERS* Character Review and 1st Impressions – Kaen Rak Salap Chatha

lovefia

Posted on June 16, 2021

bodyswap3-1

If you are watching this newest weekend installment, Kaen Rak Salap Chatha – which of course you can head on over to Neko’s for that – you already know two episodes in that this show is surprisingly good. It has a great directorial hand, gritty and stark, matching the tone of this show. The editing is so smooth, you are left to focus solely on the characters, their desperate plight and how they will get out of the situation. By situation, I mean the body swapping, destiny swapping debacle caused by the blood moon. I have written a synopsis on the previous post, so you can get the full details there, but this post will focus on character review and juicy spoilers that you may not see coming. The twist has a twist. You have been warned dear readers – do not proceed if you hate spoilers.

Posted on May 17, 2021

monrak2

While the title can be a mouthful, its name will soon roll off the tip of your tongue once you get to know the charming little village it is named after: Nong Pak Kayang (translated as Perilla Field House). Located in Northeastern Thailand, Nong Pak Kayang – its town, townsfolk and abundant land – is a central character to this story about a country bumpkin turn city dweller named Kiew (which means green), who inadvertently returns to his Isan roots after the city broke his heart.

Barb Ayuttitham (Injustice Sin) – Eternal’s 1st Impressions/Recap

lovefia

Posted on March 29, 2021

eternal2

Are you feeling blood thirsty lately? Not enough revenge plots in your drama life at the moment? Barb Ayuttitham may be the show you need to get your heartrate up a bit. It is a fast-paced lakorn following the story of Chittawan Phitsunawadee (Boy Pakorn) whom we first meet in prison. He’s been serving 11 years in jail for a crime he did not commit. Newly minted attorney Plaifon Tiyakul (Yeena Salas) is determined to reopen Tawan’s case, but she needs his permission first. Tension mounts in their first meeting as Plaifon makes her plea with Tawan. She remarks that her professor, who had been his attorney at the time, has been greatly disappointed by the verdict of the court since he believed wholeheartedly that Tawan is innocent. Now that her professor has passed away, Plaifon thinks he wants her to finish it, and that Tawan should receive justice.

Word of Honor on My Mind

lovefia

Posted on March 26, 2021

cant-stop-staringOnce in a while, a show comes along and completely takes hold of me. This year, Word of Honor has cemented itself in my heart like its previous counterparts The Untamed in 2020 and Nirvana in Fire in 2019. It was not a slow creep or a one-two punch, it was a complete and utter knockout that I didn’t see coming. And so there I go, falling flat on my back, wondering how I can piece together stray words or wayward thoughts to convey the heavy fall I’ve taken.
