One Hero’s Journey: Demi Gods Semi Devils

lovefia

Posted on October 16, 2012

It’s mid-October and I’ve yet to write, anything. What a terribly, terribly boring lakorn world. Thankfully, upon the recommendation of J (Scribblings of a Fangirl), I picked up “Demi Gods Semi Devils” a 2003 Chinese period, sword fighting drama, and much to my surprised, got sucked into another world of adventures and heroes’ journey. Our first unlikely of heroes, Duan Yu, is mostly made up of daintiness and naiveté, yet has a fierce drive to put anyone else’s livelihood before himself. The only trouble is, he has nary a martial arts skill neither common sense. This strikes me as callous and a recipe for disaster. Who let the baby out of the carriage? But it all soon made sense to me. You see, Duan…

Keeping up with the recent: Autumn, Tanchai & Tawan Tor Sang

lovefia

Posted on September 26, 2012

Autumn is finally here in the Pacific Northwest, a welcoming change from the hot, drizzle free summer. I love the feel of the brisk, cool air that greets me every morning. Brown leaves, pumpkin spiced lattes and a thin scarf are endearing things to this time of year. Who doesn’t love Autumn? I like how lakorns are steering towards an Autumn-feel trend too. Starting with The Sixth Sense where heightened senses are used to barter with ghosts and spirits. And for the coming month of October, more spirits and ghosts will endeavor to give us the chill: Qi Pao and Rang Ngao. Although the latter doesn’t literally have any ghosts, a twin playing the part of her sister, wreaking revenge for a life taken,…

Hong Sabat Lai: Finale + Review

lovefia

Posted on September 25, 2012

A bittersweet, no rocks left unturned finale- Hong Sabat Lai truly does not disappoint. From the onset of this drama, it is a mature story about revenge, political maneuvers and a love triangle. But what is even more apparent is that justice and karma catches up to you sooner or later. Each character has learned a lesson that changes them completely from the people they used to be and for that, we have a poignant story with such emotional investment and a worthwhile, touching journey to the end.

Hong Sabat Lai: Ep 12

lovefia

Posted on September 24, 2012

Showdowns and revelations would sum up this episode nicely. Oh and karma too, she’s a real bitch. Aor gets kidnapped and held for ransom- a one-way ticket out of Thailand for the Ponglert’s. She really should not have gone to that last fashion shoot. There were red flags everywhere, the manager was desperate and creepy, the “agency” belonged to Mr. It (that stands for Ittiharn) but Aor being naïve, couldn’t put one and one together, which resulted in her getting kidnapped and abused by the bad guys. And there was no going back for Ponglert now. He was always a bad guy, but back in the day, he had his minions commit the crime for him, however these days, desperate times call for desperate…

Hong Sabat Lai: Ep 11

lovefia

Posted on September 19, 2012

Excellent closure to this week’s episodes of Hong Sabat Lai- things really do fall apart before they could be built back up. We will see some character arc for both Nay and Siwat- and that finally, Nay and Rabin are reunited. Ah, so good. Episode 11 Recap The beginning of this episode brings Chulongorn to a junction of severe desperation. She’s getting screwed by two powerful men. While one is notoriously “bad,” the one that claims he is “good,” is not so valiant after all. Tamrong considers himself a business man first and foremost- which is an important trait we have to keep in mind- because this will carry on to everything he does. Chulongorn begs him to help her: she is willing to…

Hong Sabat Lai: Ep 10

lovefia

Posted on September 18, 2012

HSL just keeps getting better! Action packed, angsty and uber exciting. What an excellent ride through Monday’s episode. Episode 10 Recap Nay is irritated with her two new bodyguards. Not because they follow her everywhere or stand like statues, but they were simply not her bodyguard. Namely Rabin. She’s still fuming and muttering to herself that once she gets a hold of him, she will fire him. Aor kindly reminds her that Rabin had already quit, hah, which leaves Nay frowning once again. She ponders desperately to herself: where are you, Rabin? She misses him. Rabin could not stay too far away. He’s shacking up with Wichate, who is becoming the voice of reason. He tells Rabin that if he is unhappy about the…

Hong Sabat Lai: Ep 9

lovefia

Posted on September 17, 2012

An intense episode filled with answers, more questions and a change in mood. Ep 9 Recap Nay and Kwan enters Rabin’s room, searching for him. He is nowhere in sight so Nay scolds his disappearance by taking a video of herself on the cellphone she purchased for him. She tells him that should anything happen to her, it would be his fault for being MIA. She threatens to cut his paycheck, but we all know she’s just reprimanding him for fun. What happens next is really, a violation of privacy. She hands the phone over to Kwan to join the fun, but Kwan notices a picture of Rabin with a woman. Finally, Nay knows what Rabin’s mysterious girlfriend looks like. Nay peers at the…

Hong Sabat Lai: Ep 8

lovefia

Posted on September 16, 2012

I love this episode for many reasons, but most importantly, it is a step in the right direction, moving us progressively towards the climax. We have character arches for three of our romantic stories and most fascinatingly, Rabin and Nay’s relationship. Rabin finally accepts that his feelings for Nay are more than how a bodyguard feels for his boss. It’s exactly what I was hoping for! Not to mention, Nay is finally confronting Ponglert about his illegal work and this will force the bad guys to do something, and quick before their past bites them in the ass. Ep 8 Recap Kwan and Wichate stand in the garden shade, and Kwan tells the officer that ever since Rabin came to live with them, things…

The Sixth Sense- First Impressions

lovefia

Posted on September 9, 2012

I am intrigued by the introduction of new actresses, underrated leading actors and the fascinating premise behind sixth sense. I love me a good scary lakorn with the backdrop of white/black magic, ghosts, spirits and romances strung together due to supernatural conflicts. And hello, there’s Louis Scott! But more about him later. The ability to perceive the unseen world, which is known as sixth sense, is achieved through the five subtle senses of smell, taste, sight, sound and touch. In our latest weekend lakorn, the story explores this spiritual world through five female characters that possess these abilities with an added flair: Yanin can communicate with the other dimension by transporting her spirit to their medium via meditation; Rod not only has the sense…

Hong Sabat Lai: Ep 7

lovefia

Posted on September 4, 2012

Action packed episode! The lakorn is fast paced as usual, Ittiharn doing crazy things to undermine his father while Nay and Rabin continue to find evidence to put them away. Baby steps.. because even though they have some evidence, Tamrong wanted to wait until everything lines up before they did anything. Episode 7 Recap Nay and Rabin are digging through her old mansion, searching for a tape that her father had recorded before he passed away that will incriminate Ponglert. Nay is pissed because Ponglert and son turned her mansion into a hotel and because of the extent of the redecoration, she didn’t think that they would find the tape. Now, Rabin had permitted her to sneak into the mansion with him under the…
