Dao Kon La Duang – First Impressions

lovefia

Posted on January 25, 2021

Craving for an action drama? Perhaps with a love triangle? Dao Kon La Duang may be of interest to you. Taking over Monday-Tuesday timeslot on Channel 3, and produced by Arlong Production, we have Grate Warintorn starring as Thanat (or Nat), a police captain who undergoes a hostage rescue mission gone bad. While risking his life to save the last two hostages, the entire cabin explodes, and he is presumed dead. Leaving behind a very distraught love interest, Dr. Chalanthorn played by Boom Suphaphorn, who has now lost two people whom she cared deeply about (the first was her little sister from a car explosion.) Which is why, after mourning for three years, Chalanthorn (or Lan) decides to live in the present and give…

Life Imitating Art in Mia Jum Pen

lovefia

Posted on January 24, 2021

The latest weekend installment, Mia Jum Pen or “Wife on Duty”, is a “remake” from its counterpart in 2001. I put remake in quotes because this year’s take on Mia Jum Pen does away with the outdated notions in the old version. In fact, if any of the plot was borrowed, it is created in almost a meme worthy way, which is so totally today. The first episode does not even go into the plot much (because how typical and drab would that be?) instead, show likes to be extra and introduce us to our two leads as Tomorn (Mai Warit) and Tawan (Pie Rinrada), as the lakorn addicts that fall into two camps: (1) those that watch lakorns live and (2) those that…

Check in & My Husband In Law 1st Impressions

lovefia

Posted on April 21, 2020

Hello to my dearest friends. Lakorn viewers. Good story enthusiasts. Fellow fangirls (fanboys). How are you faring in the midst of this pandemic? I hope this post finds you well in both body, mind and spirit. It will end, and we will all change because of it, but we are stronger and know what matters the most. For me, that is coffee, sleep, good company (with 6 feet distancing) and good entertainment (however you define the source of entertainment).

First Look: Rak Jang Aoey

lovefia

Posted on March 25, 2019

Rak Jang Aoey is the newest mid-week primetime romcom offering from Channel 3, produced by Metha Lae Mahaniyom and starring our lovely Taew Natapohn. What’s unique about this show is that it’s not a remake of other lakorns or based off a popular book, it’s an original script from the dynamic duo husband and wife Nok (Chatchai and Sinjai). I have enjoyed two of their directorial offerings, Tawan Deard and Khunchai Ronnapee, so let’s hope this is a third one. Rak Jang Aoey means “love you very much” with the nang ek’s name “Aoey” thrown in for a play on word. Taew portrays a spoiled character, Doctor Pailin or Doctor Aoey, who thinks she is perfect but admittedly has no idea what perfection looks…

First Look – The Devil’s Delight – Pisat Hansa

lovefia

Posted on March 15, 2019

This evening lakorn from Channel 7 is pretty delightful, even if it’s about life, death and the afterlife. Pisat Hansa tells the story of Prat who mistakenly passes away after a traffic accident. You see it isn’t his time to go, but the Grim Reaper made a mistake and took his soul before his due time. This is an irreversible blunder but since Prat is a good person and has made many merits in life, the Grim Reaper gives him a second chance to live. Prior to getting hit by a truck, Prat had wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Ae. At 26 years old, he has a bright future and like he told the Grim Reaper, he still has so much left to…

First Look: Krong Kam

lovefia

Posted on March 13, 2019

Now that five episodes have already aired for Krong Kam, it is a good time as any to weigh in. Krong Kam is a lakorn about a mother and her daughter in law. It’s an unconventional, female protagonist lead storytelling that focuses on the flaws instead of the perfection, a lakorn that strives to show how choices will produce karmic affect, and also how terribly difficult it is to break out of a mold, once you’ve already been caged in. It is a mother of lakorns, so let’s discuss the story, as we know it so far.

First Look: Thong Ake: The Pharmacist of Chaloang

lovefia

Posted on February 1, 2019

Historical, medical, romcom lakorn, anyone? Thong Ake Mor Ya Tah Chaloang certainly feels like a fusion boran lakorn, with its modern take on boran costumes, its fantasy element in storytelling, but also keeping within the historical challenges of its time. The story takes place during King Chulalongkorn era, or Rama the 5th, which puts us between 1868 to 1910. As the title ascertains, “Thong Ake” which is our hero’s name, “Mor Ya” which translates to pharmacist, and “Chaloang” which is the name of the town, centers around Thong Ake’s (Mario Maurer) journey towards becoming the pharmacist of Chaloang, a remote and rural town that is sold on superstitions (believes heavily in ghosts) and a town that only has a shaman by way of medical…

First Look: “Nang Rai” – True Life of a Drama Queen

lovefia

Posted on January 16, 2019

The first episode of “Nang Rai” which means female antagonist, introduces us to our protagonist, Kaewalai (Now Tisanart), and how she was discovered and came to star as the “nang’rai” in this lakorn world. Kae has been blessed with amazing looks, but prior to entering the entertainment industry, she worked multiple jobs to support her poor family, which includes the gambling addict mother, drunk father, and three selfish siblings (and a partridge in a pear tree). Men who couldn’t contain their own perverted thoughts decide to kidnap and rape her after a construction shift was over. Thankfully, Anuwadee (Maggi Apa) – a newbie model/dancer – and her mother, discovers Kae being dragged into the trees and rescues her.

First Look: Buang Nareumit, Nuay Lap Salap Love 

lovefia

Posted on January 5, 2019

Two lakorns aired this week on Channel 3, the modern-period lakorn with Matt and Once upon a time Rome (complete with a new face and new name), along with a romcom starring Mint Chalida and Mai Warit. I tuned into both lakorns, and will say that I like Nuay Lap Salap Love better. The common denominator, both actresses are playing actresses.

lovefia

Posted on December 12, 2018

Catchy title to be sure. Miss Unlimited Surname is actually the English title for Nang Sao Mai Jam Gat Nam Sagon, which aired two episodes thus far this week on OneHD. It’s a romcom with Mai Davika and Ter Chantavit at the helm, centering around Riam (Mai Davika) who is unlucky in love but gotta get lucky in order to kick her diagnosis to the curb. Riam has always been boy crazy, however she got burned three times and vowed not to get married.
