Kitchen Scholar- A Review

lovefia

Posted on November 11, 2012

The girl group Olives got it right when they sang “Wow wow wow” for Panyachon Kon Krua, also known as the Kitchen Scholar. This twelve-episode lakorn creeped up the end of the year, surprising the critics and knocking the rest of the airing lakorn thus far, from its podium. Unexpected, pleasantly surprising and effortlessly beautiful, Thong production- namely Anne Thongprasom- and her beloved pair, Mark Prin and Kimberly Voltemas simply knock this one out of the park. The premise of the story surrounds Amika (Kimberly Voltemas) who is the daughter of a Governor of Chiang Mai in her last year of a performing arts university, trying to win a scriptwriting contest that will earn her a fellowship to study in New York. Our girl…

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.

Love in the Fresh Food Market- Final Impression (Review)

lovefia

Posted on August 26, 2012

Rak Kerd Nai Talad Sod, Love (Happened) in the Fresh Food Market starring Mario Maurer and Margie (pronounced Makkie) Rasri will run its course in 12 episodes, a shorter than average stint as far as lakorn duration goes. The plot has a simple premise, to showcase the lives of market vendors in this fresh food market, most specifically Thong (Mario) who is a newbie, and how his entrance into the market, changed everyone’s lives accordingly. Thong is an easygoing kid from the countryside who came to help his sister in law’s vegetable booth due to her high-risk pregnancy. He falls in “love at first sight” with Kim-Lang (Margie) who was the daughter of Kim-Huay, a fish vendor, and highly feared at the market. Unfortunately…

This Land is Our Land- A Series Review

lovefia

Posted on August 7, 2012

High-res version

Torranee Nee Nee Krai Krong (This Land is Our Land) is a romantic/drama lakorn derived from a book with the same title, the second depiction broadcasted on primetime after the attempt in 1998. Unlike many remakes of its kind, the producer waited for a long time before she partook in this endeavor, until the day she met the perfect duo to cast for Athit and Darunee, the leading characters in the novel. The lakorn demanded a koo-kwan (onscreen sweethearts) that will sweep people off their feet and believably take them on a journey of social ideals, personal aspirations and author’s motives through the eyes of Athit and Darunee. She found her key pieces in Nadech and Yaya, after seeing them in Duangjai Akkanee (Akkanee’s Heart) where they played as star crossed lovers and took fangirling to another level.

After the success of Game Rai Game Rak (Evil Game Love Game), Torranee came as a compelling follow up to Nadech and Yaya’s second collaboration, inducing the fever and fire further for their fan clubs and critics alike. With any hype and anticipation, the question remains if they have done enough to live up to the expectations?

Maya Tawan it is! (And some character-plot analysis)

lovefia

Posted on July 30, 2012

Thanks very much for voting and inputting your voice! It was a close race between Qi Pao and Maya Tawan, going neck to neck and MT winning at the last minute. But don’t you worry, since we have no idea when it’s airing anyway, I’ll still have some time to recap other lakorns. I will be tuning in to lakorns that are listed under “Definitely,” and as you know, if any one of these lakorns draw my attention, there will be some sort of recap/impression articles to follow. As you might be aware, Maya Tawan is a remake of Sam’s lakorn, a very popular one to boot, in its time. There were many aspects of it that I absolutely adored and empathized with, so allow…

Mam Gam Dang- A Review

lovefia

Posted on July 17, 2012

Mam Gam Dang (Red-cheeked Madam) is a destination lakorn set in London where Anamika studies abroad with her three best friends, Metawee, Art and Napat. The drama introduces us to a Thai student’s life abroad, and how they remain in their familiar community: Ana works in a Thai restaurant and hangs out with her Thai friends- she even has Thai nemesis as well- creating a clear difference in social class even in a foreign country, yet indicating one’s need to connect with people of similar heritage. Since Ana and Mey are from the working class, they must work for a living while their wealthier counterparts peruse London’s expensive boutiques. One fine day, at the end of their term in London, Pat discovers that he…

Game Rai Game Rak- A Review

lovefia

Posted on July 3, 2012

Evil Game Love Game, a title that speared imagination of overly dramatic account of love and revenge, actually invoked the opposite reaction in me, which is laugh out loud funny, touching and a fever for the main leads that can’t seem to be put out. The drama starts with a startlingly beautiful tale of how an islander (Nadech Kugimiya) meets a stranger (Yaya Urassaya) that was casted from the sea. He took her under his wing and cared for her as she lost her memory and reverts to childlike behavior. Through his care and attention from the villagers, the stranger is brought back to mental working order and she falls in love with her savior. The two then marry and all hell breaks loose. The…

“Luk Mai.. Klai Ton” – A Review

lovefia

Posted on March 23, 2012

There is an old Thai proverb “luuk mai lon mai glai dton” which means, “the fruit does not fall far from the tree” or the English expression “like father like son.” In this particular lakorn, the old proverb is used to indicate its opposite meaning: the child is very much unlike its predecessors. Which encompasses the characters and theme of this lakorn quite well, a story bound with family, relationship and social conflicts. We have Rasa (Suwanant Kongying) who grew up in a struggling family, her mother used to be a maid for a wealthy family and her brother is a no good for nothing son who pesters his family and wife. He also believed that she was adopted because they don’t share any…

Mook Liam Petch – A Review

lovefia

Posted on February 29, 2012

Although the year has just begun, Mook Liam Petch is a lakorn to be reckoned with and has set the bar quite high for other lakorns yet to air. With its unique action genre and progressive plot, action weary fans or lakorn fans alike, should prepare to be blown away.. or at least be tickled by the pairing and chemistry of Rome (playing Petch) and Susie (playing Mookda). From the production team Pau Jing Jong, Mook Liam Petch (Pearl Sided Diamond) is a 14 episode lakorn surrounding Special Agent Mookda’s return to Thailand to uncover the case of the stolen Adorella, which threatens not only the number one diamond company in Thailand- Star Diamond- but also national security. She must return the powerful jewelry…

Tawan Duead (The Boiling Sun)- Review

lovefia

Posted on January 6, 2012

Set in an unruly town known as Bhu Prakal (Death’s Mountain), the townsfolk regressed to the dark primitive ages after World War II, where survival of the fittest-in the forms of money, power and guns- takes precedence over friendship, law and common values. The story began in the mountains of Fahrung Farm where a deep friendship went bad: Shakta and Bhupha. Thirsting for the ownership of Fahrung Farm, where hidden gems are abundant, Shakta contrived a plan to murder his partner Bhupha and seize the land. He hired Charan (Johnny Anfone) to fake the raid, but his plan turned extreme as Charan and his vicious outlaws massacred the entire farm, including Bhupha’s family. BhuTawan (Mahk Prin) the son of Bhupha, escaped the deadly massacre…
