Someone, save me from the flirty banter of Khun Petch, the eldest of Juthatheps. Thanks to him, I am trying to get my first impression of Dujupsorn out so that I can watch episode 3. There is something about the 90s era, with his sleek boyband hair, oversized suit, gorgeous smile, and devil-may-care attitude that has everyone around him in a chokehold. I dare say, I’m invested.

Thirty years later a promise between two ancestors finally gets fulfilled. We watched five legendary Juthathep gentlemen choose their own bride and made a villain out of the Dhewaproms, but now, guess who got the glow up. The second generation Dhewaproms are heroes in their own story.

And just like that, the year is over. It has been a blur, if I am being honest. My expensive journal (aka this slow going blog) is directly proportional to lakorns I have seen this year, which is to say, very pitiful (me, not lakorn world). The only lakorn I have finished and enjoyed is Matalada, a wholesome show about a woman who quite literally makes everyone brighter, including me. So I suppose that is the only highlight of my lakorn year.

Forget meet cute, we have meet funny.
Puttarn’s landing in Ayutthaya era was not the smoothest, a beam of light through the Krishna Kali relic takes her 300 years back, facing a man who thinks she is a ghost and sends her flying with a kick. LOL. I am sorry, that was not very gentlemanly of Phor Rid, but he was frightened out of his wits, first he saw a beam of light pointing to something buried underneath, and as he pulled out the treasure, a woman-ghost tried to snatch his family relic. Besides, she talked different and was very forward with her approach, like grabbing his arm, which one never does with a man who is neither her kin nor her husband. Phor Rid was merely trying to beat his sister to the house to swap out her dead rooster.

She’s back….who knew we would miss the original Karaked, with her lip curled in disdain.
Goosebumps and chills, as Karaked appears in present time, much like the first time with Kadesurang. It’s raining and dark, she’s watching a car pass by. But this time, instead of appearing before the car and causing a wreck, Karaked just looks sadly at it, at the little girl in the car. We know her to be Phuttan, Kadesurang’s distant relative. The car met the same fate as the last time, with Karaked getting reborn as Phuttan, much like Kadesurang getting reborn as Karaked.

Episode one feels like a gift/warm hug to the long awaited Buppaesaniwas fans, as we reunite with our favorite Ayutthaya household in Prom Likit. The time traveling history buff that is Karaked, her foreign ministry official husband, Dech, and the vast quarters of servants who do not bat an eye at their mistress’ beguiling ways. The opening scene pans to what makes this show charming in the first place, we are transported to Ayutthaya era, the soft dewy morning, the quiet night lit up by soft flame. Buppaesaniwas did it so well, and Prom Likit, its sequel, is equally stunning in its authenticity.

We all need a little Matalada in our lives, a face full of smiles for gay dads, sad doctors, and stray dogs. A smile that warms you from within, Matalada is love personified. She gives away free smiles and wants nothing back, well maybe a slice of cake.
If you have not seen Matalada, or To the Moon and Back, a lakorn starring James Ji and Toey Charinporn, as Heart Doctor Purim (or Penneung) and Matalada (or Mata), you are in for a delightful slice of life lakorn foray. It is not all about rainbows and butterflies as I seem to be depicting, but amidst the pain and trauma, there is an uplifting message of acts of kindness and the journey to healing.

James Ma reunites with Pie Rinrada in Pror Rak (Because of Love) as Singh and Ring respectively. I remember seeing them as brother and sister in Chart Suea Pan Mungkorn (2018) and think to myself that they had too much chemistry being brother and sister, so here they are front lining their own show about an adopted girl with paranormal ability and an heir of an old name family. There is deep seated family conflict, with Singhbordin (or simply Singh) as the heir apparent, the top of the food chain, beloved by the Patriarch, plus the conflict of Musika (or Ring) whose special ability must forsake life as a normal woman. Ring can see the future, and her job with the family is to protect the Patriarch, but upon Singh’s designation as the next in line, she was given to Singh as his sole protector. The caveat to her ability is that she must remain pure in order to retain it, thus the Patriarch ties her to Singh in matrimony so that he could stave off other men as well as his grandson. They are to be wed in name only.

Since we all made it another year around the sun, let’s pat ourselves on the back and do a little reflecting on the year gone by, which in all honesty, is the hardest thing to do. Even I prefer to forget about the past and try to leave it all behind. But sometimes, the only way to learn is to reflect, change things up and think about how we can do better.
The biggest prediction that Twitter would go down was one of the more interesting predictions. I mean, there is still a jury out on that, but when I stopped using Twitter, I free up so much time. I do not plan on going back, since I am enjoying this newfound freedom. But if I am being honest, we are all scrolling and, in this day, and age, what does it take for us to give pause and click on a content that we want to consume? I feel like half of the time that choice is taken from me when half of my timeline has recommended things that I care nothing about.
