Is someone cutting onions in here? There is a particular scene in Kharm See Than Dorn that will be hard to beat throughout the rest of the show, for me it will go down as one of the scenes that I will remember this show by. As a side note, this show does get bogged down with different (irrelevant) side storylines, and if you’re not going to watch this show for that reason, this particular scene sums up the goal of the story.
Oh Pope. He wants to make us cry, doesn’t he? The opening of the show takes us into his character’s (Tiangwan) predicament perfectly: he’s standing on top of crashing waves of an ocean in South Africa, thinking back on his substance addiction days, the lowest of low in his life. It looked bad; he must have relapsed into addiction after promising never to do it again, and his girlfriend caught him. She broke up with him that day, and in a state of paranoia and under the drug’s influence – he envisioned cops chasing him – Tiangwan drives right into a little boy. His face gets blasted all over media outlets, but thankfully the boy survived and Tiangwan must have gotten admitted into rehab.…
Matupoom Hang Hua Jai (Motherland of My Heart) is the first installment of My Hero Series, Channel 3’s latest project featuring heroes that start out in a youth disciplinary center and are honed, trained and molded by the skilled Teacher Chantra into the best patriotic examples they can be. The series is spearheaded by Cholumpi Productions. Our first one is Techat or Ben (Boy Pakorn) who lives in California but hangs out with the wrong crowd. He witnesses the leader of the gang shooting someone point blank, which made him grow up in a blink of an eye. His girlfriend, Hope (cameo by Taya Rogers) suggests that he get out of dodge because the gang leader will stop at nothing to kill him. But…
Chippy’s upcoming lakorn is like donning on her Tarntawan role again. Kon Lah Khop Fah plot reminds me a lot of Rang Tawan, though with a less PTSD type hero, which means less abuse towards our heroine. I’ll cheers to that any day.

Our midweek lakorn has come to a close. It’s not so much a revenge lakorn as it touted itself to be, because it’s really a story about a beast’s journey into a prince (so to speak). From an abandoned, abused childhood, and tough façade in order to rule over Rai Phu Tupdao, Suriyen transformed into a person who could feel again due to the love of Tarntawan and his nephew. Will the finale help us determine whether this man has indeed changed from the burning sun into a hopeful sunrise? Is the ending everything we hoped for? How did the whole story fare? Let’s just get to it!

Whoops, I guess we’re not saying goodbye to this show yet. I honestly thought we’re ending with 13, I don’t know how or why we’re going to drag this out, since there’s not a lot of conflict we don’t already know about, but I guess there’s always more room for some angst. I hope the finale finale will give us some fangirl moments, but for now, Show works on setting up the climax and putting us literally on the edge of the cliff. Note: I guess I have more time to finish this recap! All done ~ enjoy 🙂

It’s finale week! The truth comes out and another life is lost, however Show continues to explore trust as the central issue today. Even if evidence stares Tarntawan in the face, will she remain steadfast or buckle towards her bias? Should Suriyen act out like everyone anticipates him to or do something differently? You know what Einstein said: insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Shall we expect a crazy Beast or a changed man? Buckle your seatbelts everybody, it’s gonna be a rocky road before we close out this series.

Show is slated to end with 13 episodes, which means finale week is right around the corner. Conflict is heightened as we close out episode 11, taking us into the climax. This episode sure gives us the tension, but I am disappointed that it went in the direction we can predict. But nonetheless, it still left me with the feels, and the inevitable fighting in Suriyen’s corner. Don’t ask me why I always end up taking the hero’s side. Because this journey of watching Suriyen grow and change is about eventually overcoming his dark side, fall in love with him, and then go to bat for him. If only our heroine falls in line with us. If anyone needs a hug in this Show,…

When I think Show is going to take us to familiar places, they do something that pleasantly surprises me. If last week’s episodes are about Suriyen’s heart unraveling, this week’s episodes mark the moment Suriyen let’s go and allow himself to love freely and unabashedly. The thing that gets me though is that Tarntawan chooses to trust Suriyen completely and by doing so, it allows Suriyen to let the softer, more human side of him to come out. If he cries over his past love, smiles openly at Nong Phit, and find ways to make up for his past discretions with Tarntawan, I may just die. This one is sweet and funny, but also moves our story forward, because several things come to light.…

Truly the best part of this show is in watching the Beast’s heart flutter and melt as he learns to love and be loved, while allowing our hearts to warm right along with him. And it’s not even about the romantic love that makes his heart flutter, because it does. But it’s the hard fought love from his own nephew that subsequently melts his heart completely. This is one of my most favorite episode yet, since Show is obviously listening to our wishes, and they are listening very well indeed. Be prepared to curse Visut, hug Suriyen and slap yourself, because you’ll realize it’s a dream come true that a Beast like Suriyen could morph into a Prince right before your eyes. It’s all…
