Romancing Ayutthaya– Buppae Sunniwas

lovefia

Posted on March 30, 2018

Three episodes left, you guys. Its tumultuous finale will air on April 11th, to be followed by 3 special episodes. I think it’s important to step back and reflect upon history and what has happened so far in our story: set in the 16th century, pitting a present day archaeology grad student among people of the Ayutthaya era. A comment from Khun Loong stood out for me, “She came because she needed to come.” What, pray tell could be her purpose in arriving in King Narai’s reign? It couldn’t possibly be to change history because our hero is a fictional character and isn’t impacted by history like Kosa Lek, Kosa Pan, Constantine Phaulkon, or the King himself and his future successors. We also know…

Buppae Sunniwat – Episode 10 Recap “I won’t break my promise”

lovefia

Posted on March 22, 2018

This week’s episodes continue the upward spiral of breaking ratings records and fanning the lakorn fever. I think what makes it even more exciting, then, let’s say a good lakorn that people watch a few years ago, is the influence of social media i.e. Twitter and Facebook. Now fans swarm Twitter with its appropriate hashtags and gone are the old ways of watching lakorns. You can fangirl with other fangirls, people even tweet pictures of their viewing parties, complete with looking the part! So it’s no surprise that the ratings skyrocketed and the lakorn is the number one trending on Twitter. But let’s not kid anyone here, the Show itself has a great story at its core, phenomenal directing, and amazing actors to bring…

More Servings of Buppae Sunniwas, Please

lovefia

Posted on March 19, 2018

Have we all survived the long weekend without Buppae Sunniwas? I know some of you are rewatching for the umpteenth time and probably has memorized all of Khun Meun’s swoony stares, his close proximity to Katesurang every chance he gets (like dude can’t get any closer and I love it) and Katesurang’s ever constant vigil of staying exactly the same, which is why I love her. She’s strong, confident, sassy, and as fearless as they come. I wouldn’t wager to say that she’s a woman of our modern time, because she’s so much more than that. Her clever rebuttal, quick wit and knowledge seeking personality has really done a number on Khun Meun, you can slowly see how she has unraveled him from the…

Buppae Sunniwas [Open Thread] 3-8

lovefia

Posted on March 14, 2018

Squeee. Episode 7 was so good, I’m so sad there weren’t more to watch. I’m falling in love with Khun Muen falling in love with Katesurang. Every time he looks at her, I die a little inside (of the happy variety!) Wow, Pope is born to play an Ayuthayan man. And Katesurang? She’s the best friend you wish you had in Ayuthaya era. You’d think a little corporal punishment may deter her from venturing out, think again. I’m opening up this thread so we can discuss Buppae Sunniwas up to tomorrow’s episode. Life isn’t permitting me to delve deeply into writing reflections on this show thus far, but I’m up to deep discussions in the comment section. Tell me your thoughts – I will…

Buppae Sunniwas – Fated Couple? Episode 2

lovefia

Posted on February 27, 2018

What is apparent as we finish up the second episode of Buppae Sunniwas is its comedic relief. As Katesurang settles into Karakate’s life and realizes that she didn’t travel in time to live a leading lady’s life, but instead possessed the body of an infamous, well hated, villain’s body, she decides she’ll take the experience as a jaunt through the history books. From the get go, this show sets its own distinction from other time travel lakorns – we are not like Tawee Pope, nor do we strive to be like them.

Time travel binge, anyone? Love Destiny & Love beyond Time

lovefia

Posted on February 22, 2018

When you go from watching nothing, to binging somethings, I can’t imagine a more fun endeavor than a time traveling premise. This topic has always been a favorite of mine, ever since Tawee Pope 1994, which is a lakorn that made sense of a woman who steps into the past through a mirror portal, where she finds her soulmate and saves the world. It’s been a story that many cannot hold a candle to, despite its best efforts and remakes. The two time travel lakorns that I’m watching simultaneously are Buppae Sunniwas (starring Pope Thanawat and Bella Ranee) and Buang Banjathorn (starring Mario Maurer and Mai Davika). My first impressions specifically speaks to two key components: does the time travel portal front make sense,…

Looking Forward

lovefia

Posted on December 27, 2017

Dearest Readers, How are you? Happy belated everything – Christmas, Birthday, New Years – wait I’m not late on that. I hope the year has been kind to you. As you know, this year has been an eventful one for me personally. I welcomed the birth of my second (and last!) son – who is now 7 months old. I’ll let that sink in. I’ve aged a year wiser too and much of my day is wrapped up in work, play (with kiddos, another type of fun), eat, breathe – rinse, repeat. But in between the daily grind and the sleepless nights, there’s an indescribable magic. I look at these two adorable faces (and one older, very handsome face too) and I think there’s…

[Open Thread] #27

lovefia

Posted on August 11, 2017

How are you, dear readers? It’s been awhile since we had an open thread to discuss our well beings outside of this wonderful world of lakorns. In the past week me, along with residents of Washington, are suffering from smoke emanating from the wildfires of British Columbia. It happens to be one of our hottest summers (with long days of sunshine) since the 50’s, and yet, we can’t even see our blue skies. Last weekend was my last week of maternity leave and it seems like God didn’t even want me to enjoy my remaining days off. So I am back to work, commuting along thick grayness, where there used to be a few mountains or skyscrapers to enjoy. My kiddos are doing great,…

Leh Lub Salub Rarng – It’s Electric

lovefia

Posted on August 2, 2017

Has it been since The Rising Sun Series since we’ve seen Nadech and Yaya on screen together? That is too many years too long, if you ask me. But they’re back to win our hearts in Leh Lub Salub Rarng (which isn’t a hard feat if I’m being honest), it is a body swapping lakorn about alpha male Captain Ramin and beloved Pearl of Asia Petra Pawadee. It is action meets comedy meets gender reversal. When we first meet them, you’ll love to hate these two because of their spoiled brat, conceited and selfish tendencies. And at first you’ll wonder why our leads are unlikable, and yet despite how unlikeable their characters are, Nadech Yaya’s portrayal of them comes out hilarious because it’s so…

What I’m Watching: Kammathep Prab Marn

lovefia

Posted on July 19, 2017

I’m finally caught up with the remaining episodes (up to 6) of our final installment of the Cupid Series. This lakorn will end this weekend with 8 9 episodes. Perhaps a more apt title for this show ought to be Return of the Exes instead of Defeating Love since everyone and their mom’s exes will make an appearance. I felt that this show has smart characters, great looking cast and just beautiful directing and OST, and I’m obviously still sticking around to find out what happens with our Boss-Secretary couple, but it lacked the addicting factor for me. I kept going back and thinking about Hidden Love, which is still one of my favorites out of the series.
