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.
Currently in fitting status, Song Hua-Jai Mee Peur Ter (Two Spirits’ Love) will star first time pairing Mario Maurer and Mint Chalida. I love that the poster looks like a movie poster – this series will be produced by the makers of Fai Rak Plerng Kaen – and this will be their second attempt in the lakorn stratosphere. I think Mario in anything is a great choice if you want to redeem yourself from your lackluster premiere.
It’s been a whirlwind of eleven episodes for Khun Chai Ronnapee. We knew when our fun loving, youngest Juthathep entered the filming set of Kinaree, and the leading actress fell literally into his arms due to stunt difficulties, Chai Phee’s life would never be the same again. And the dynamics of his character, as well as the tone of the Gentlemen Series would be forever changed. Most importantly, each episode is like getting the wind knocked out of me, leaving me gasping for air, wondering if I’m going to survive this whole ordeal. It’s the kind of lakorn that sucks you in, makes no apologies for hurting you and proceeds to do it all over again. But never once, sacrificing the emotional ties we…
I simply cannot let this episode slip away without commentating- venting, spazzing, popping a blood vessel, whatever you want to call it- because the marathon of invoking pains to Chai Phee, and thereby me, has continued. Gawd, it sucks so bad being Khun Chai Ronnapee. I would not want to be a gentleman, much less a Khunchai because a fancy palace to live in, a fortune awaiting at my feet, but a life decided by my grannies, does not equal a happy life or a life worth living. So as a side note to Khun Pranod, don’t be a gentleman, run away, run far away from being anyone but yourself. It sucks balls, just look at your P’Phee. From the previous episode, Chai Phee’s…
Hello? Am I still alive? I think I might be dead. This show is killing me, you guuys, and it’s not even done yet. I don’t know if I’ll have anything left to feel once they are through with me. Each episodes this weekend takes us incrementally closer and closer to the relevation about Phee’s identity and status, a man of contradictions. He can singlehandedly oppose and fight an army of men, but cannot face the truth with his little lady, Piangkwan. If you’ve been following this series, or my blog entries about Khun Chai Ronnapee, you’d know that the deception started on a simple basis, but now has grown into one of the biggest conflict that will inevitably tear the two apart.
John Lennon was onto something when he wrote, “All you need is love,” which ties in really well with the theme of love explored in this drama, Khun Chai Ronnapee, and that with love all things is possible. Along with the brooding, realistic tone from last weekend’s installment, the drama takes it up a notch by examining the fear, passion and love from within our characters, which offers depth to the story and solidifies the acting, directing and scriptwriting, I really could not ask for more, it’s completely my cup of tea, so hat’s off to Medtha Lae Mahaniyom.
To my dearest Khun Chai Nong~ I hope this letter finds you well. I know you have been lonely. Being the last bachelor in the house, being the notorious rake and yet, being bested by your older brothers who seem more happier than ever with their soulmates. You must be nostalgic. Everything that you’re so sure about suddenly doesn’t make sense anymore. Like that singer bee who wants you for your title, your popularity and your immense palace. I know it didn’t used to bother you. Do you know why that is? I must break some bitter sweet news to you, my dear sweet, sweet younger brother, you have grown up. Congratulations.
The show is not over until the fat lady sings. Airing in mid December, our new weekend primetime, Nuer Mek 2 (Beyond Comparison II) may just make it to my top 2012 lakorn list. From the production team, Metha Lae Mahaniyom- which brought us one of my favorite lakorns in 2011, Tawan Deard, a story about one man’s vendetta- Nuer Mek 2 examines the theme of good versus evil, amidst the political, philosophical and science fiction field. The story centers on Special Agent Sangkla, alongside his quirky employee, Sargeant Saming and they must stop Winyoo, the dark science (black magic) guru from finding the four divine weapons and reaching his full potential power. In the smaller scheme of things, Winyoo is the personal advisor…

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…
Ok, so this Youtube site maintenance thing is not helping (by the time it works, I may be on my leg to Bali already!) Because I have no patience for YT and because I love you guys, I created a dailymotion account. You can now view Ep 13 Part 1/2! (Why didn’t I think of that before?!) Keep in mind that Ep 13 Part 2/2 won’t be ready until I return, as the raw videos aren’t even available yet.
