Courtesy of Blobofcolour’s drama challenge, which originated this stimulating topic, we’re going to partake, so please feel free to include your answers!

This challenge is challenging in itself for me. If you’ve read my about page, then you might be aware that I stopped watching lakorns for 10 years and returned in 2010. So theoretically, I should examine lakorns within the last three years, however, having returned back to lakorns, I’ve caught up with so many that I’ve missed, that the lines are simply blurred. And well, I.Just.Want.To.Write.About.Everything. But for clarity and brevity sake (much to my chagrin) we’ll just talk about lakorns between the years 2010-2013 (so file away Jam Loey Rak (sob), and worse lakorn ever Namtarn Mai (you escaped this time around unscathed, show.) *As a side note, you can provide answers for lakorns that you’ve seen in the course of your lakorn-watching days.

Disclaimer: The following answers should be taken into consideration, the fact that yours truly, your P’Fia, is currently drunk off Sudafed (she’s recovering from a cold!) and won’t be responsible for any loopy, seemingly random answers. But she stands by her efforts.

3 Days and 3 Nights: Nang Rai Sai Lub

lovefia

Posted on August 25, 2013

nangrai

There are only three things that our leading girl, Soh Surikarn, the number one lakorn villainess, fears: tarnishing her squeaky clean image, being a bad friend, and ghosts. Definitely ghosts.

It’s one of those deep-seated, real fears that haunt her. So when a deceased mom and daughter decide to come after her to repay her debt, we get ourselves a nice lakorn trope, accidental roommates. It never gets old.

Soh packs up her bag(s) for a weekend getaway to Inspector Bate’s home, who’s overbearing housekeeper is conveniently out of town, and with her skilled acting, convinces his humane side to host her. She’s high maintenance, he doesn’t give an inch: their shacking up bids uproariously funny and cute scenes that will make you grin and laugh like a silly fool.

She spends three days and three nights with Inspector Bate, fighting, laughing and learning about this incredibly kind, giving (albeit workaholic) man. And those quiet, musing and sweet moments are areas that the show excels in.

How to win a gentleman in 10 ways: Kaen Saneha

It may take your entire life.. but it’s worth it, ladies! If the Khunchais series is about being a gentleman, then Kaen Saneha is about being a suparbsatree (a lady.) And our Lady Rung, or Khun Ying Wimornpayorn has it in spades. She’s a saint, she’s Ghandi, and the epitome of what the show wants ladies to be.

So without further ado, here are the 10 ways to win a gentleman, specifically a bipolar one like Khun Chat.

Into the Desert: Fah Jarod Sai

lovefia

Posted on August 21, 2013

fahjarodsai

Sky Meets Sand (Fah Jarod Sai) is a novel inspired lakorn, based in the vast expanse of the Arabian desert, that conjures up a story seemingly removed from the Thai culture, depicting a far away land, and far away characters, into a world of extremes. It’s not your friendly or mystical Arabian Nights nor Aladdin, but a tale of plots and twists, through the eyes of Michelle De La Roni (Kwan Usamanee), and how she deals with being a deer in the headlights.

Michelle really just wants to belong in this world that has rejected her. Made orphaned after an airplane accident that claimed her parents lives, her Aristocratic French grandparents abandoned her to a convent, due to her mixed heritage, apparently only claiming pure breeds as their own. We are not told whether Michelle is mixed Thai or other Asian, but for all intents and purposes, we’ll assume she speaks French with the cast, since they are non-Thais.

Despite being rejected by her grandparents, she had high hopes that they may somehow and some way still care about her. It’s her defense mechanism, that is until she is faced with the reality that she’s very much alone in this world. Her snooty grandparents derided that they are merely allowing her to use their last name because they were honoring their late son. They wanted nothing to do with her.

So Michelle latches on to the hope of doing something meaningful with her life with her bestie, and rich Middle Eastern girl named Kashfiya (Amie Morakot). They created a dream together (well it’s originally Kashfiya’s idealistic dream that she wants Michele in on) that upon their college graduation in Paris, they would go to her hometown Geysar (in Hilfara) and open a school. It sounds like an equal opportunity program, challenging the patriarchal institution of women. The alternative would be to become a nun at the convent, and perhaps Michelle, herself, isn’t quite ready for that.

[Open Thread] #1 Summer | Recap requests

lovefia

Posted on August 12, 2013

sandiego

It’s almost mid August- where has the summer gone? The ‘dog days of summer’ certainly doesn’t pertain. What are you guys up to? Have vacationed to? Planning on going? And most importantly, what lakorns are you watching or spazzing over?

It seems this August, there’s not a lot of lakorns to get too excited about, or bent out of shape for. I’m watching Kaen Saneha and Nang Rai Sai Lub, with a whole lot of fast forwarding. Certainly makes the watching go by faster, but leaves me wondering, what next? It appears that (at least for me anyway) after the Gentlemen Series ended, I’m left adrift, wondering which shore to swim to. Which is totally appropriate, since I’m going to be swimming in San Diego beach this weekend. Hopefully, I’m not literally adrift..

I don’t currently have a topic to cover and will be on vacation for a couple of weeks. I am open to recap requests, feedback or just plain co-venting if you’d rather. (If I decide to pick up any recaps, it would be published on 8/25.) So I’m listening, (as well as my vocal and silent readers), so vent away..

Having escaped from Grandma’s place before dinner time, Don and Pim head over to MK for a steamboat session where Don teases Pim for being so ‘rai’ with Grandma and Garaged. Don notes that Pim likes having steamboat and Pim replies, ‘It’s not just me, my family likes it too. It’s like spending time with people you love.’
‘Everyone likes spending time with those they love.’ Don looks pointedly at Pim while saying this. Awww. Pim does her embarrassed half smile and changes the topic by suggesting they go shopping for household items after eating. Suddenly! Out pops stalker Driwin and he stands in the distance watching on as Don and Pim talk happily over food.

How Saila became the Flame Rose (Kularb Fai)

lovefia

Posted on August 9, 2013

kularpfai4

Saila (Sara Legge) never knew that she had always been the chosen one. She is much too busy being the head of the household and taking care of her two younger sisters (Da and Orn) and her younger brother (Tong.) Life handed her a lot of lemons: her father died protecting his country and her mother’s life was taken by a vicious car accident. Thus she had to drop out of college to support her siblings.

During this trying time, her boyfriend Chutchid (Nott Vorarit) had been her rock and practically saving her: buying her a home, giving her a job. Even though they were about the same age and he rose to riches and climbed the company ladder beyond anyone’s imagination, Saila was too distraught and distracted to wonder why or how. She was simply grateful.

Until things started getting bizarre, and the recurring dreams visit her every night. In this vivid dream, she’s always fighting the same group of baddies and every time they are about to shoot her into oblivion, she would suddenly feel overcome by a force field around her, shielding her. A hot fire would implode on her forehead and she would lose herself to the unlimited strength and fight them off with deft skills. She would wake up confused each time.

Much to her surprise, the dream starts creeping into reality. Saila has a second job as a Tae Kwon Do teacher and unbeknownst to her, she picked an outdoors area to train her students that happens to be the same spot in which a certain Police Captain Teratorn (Art Pasut), is plotting to take a baddie down. Saila gets held hostage, she had been successful fighting him off earlier until he held a gun to her head. In desperate times, the fire in her forehead erupts and takes over her. In a matter of seconds she has the baddie flat on his back, leaving the entire police force to stare slack jawed at her.

Undercover Villainesse – Margie and Peter – First Impressions

lovefia

Posted on August 6, 2013

margiepeter5

“Just because I play a female villain on TV, doesn’t mean I’m a villain in real life,” Surikarn (aka Soh) says ruefully.

This is the biggest misperception and a conundrum she faces daily in the show biz, but she takes it all in stride. Unlike many daras who play female villains, Soh has her own fanclub. In real life, she is a responsible, easy to work with and has an adorably funky attitude. Not the bad sort, well, only if it’s aptly deserved.

Cat fights, stealing other people’s husband and being a true villain in the sense of action lakorns, Soh can play it all, and that is why she won Best Female Villain of the Year award. Despite the stigma against her, Soh takes pride in what she does.

So she doesn’t take it kindly when a server has the nerve to 1. Break her award 2. Try to scramble without an apology and 3. Insult her hard work!

The aforementioned server is actually a Police Inspector (Sarawat) who’s currently undercover and needs to catch the baddies- and this woman is obstructing justice. Not the first time, either.
