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.…
I know we’re not ready to say goodbye to our current action lakorn lineup Likit Rak and Neung Dao Fah Diew, though thankfully we have a few more episodes left to indulge ourselves, while Matupoom Haeng Huajai ended today. However, the lakorn horizon is getting serious and we should be prepared for that, and I am here if you need me.
There is something startlingly magical about this lakorn, Buppae Sanniwas. It has left its imprint in my heart, one that has taken residence and will refuse to budge. I can’t remember a lakorn that is just pitch perfect from start to finish. A lakorn that I barely knew what to make of for starters, but has surprisingly and consistently nailing it in every episode thereafter, then closing out the finale with no less finesse than its opening.

Wow you guys, this episode 14. It’s another level, really. If you’re going to watch any lakorns this year – heck – if you’re going to watch any lakorns ever, do watch this. Just trust us crazy, bug bitten, fever ridden, fans of Buppae Sanniwas! I mean, have you guys seen me this hyped up about a lakorn before? Ok don’t answer that, I know I get pretty excited over some lakorns in the past. But I don’t believe I have loved, crushed, or obsessed this badly about both the hero and heroine. This is one of those shows where it keeps you wanting more, craving more, and falling in love with every cast of characters. They’re all really well written and it’s hard…

Hello? Is everyone still breathing after watching this episode? It’s a double whammy kind of day. Just when we think that the biggest part of this episode is that Phor Daed returns home from Paris- that 44 minutes he was gone, he was dearly missed – we are in for a rude awakening. It’s like show is telling us that we’re getting way too comfortable adjusting to Ayutthaya lifestyle and swooning over our Ayutthaya man, that our life requires some shaking up. I’m a mixed of shaken, jarring and all encompassing stupefied, for the lack of a better word. Not to mention, my eyes are still swollen! I definitely did not see this coming..

Three episodes left, you guys. Its tumultuous finale will air on April 11th, to be followed by 3 special episodes. I think it’s important to step back and reflect upon history and what has happened so far in our story: set in the 16th century, pitting a present day archaeology grad student among people of the Ayutthaya era. A comment from Khun Loong stood out for me, “She came because she needed to come.” What, pray tell could be her purpose in arriving in King Narai’s reign? It couldn’t possibly be to change history because our hero is a fictional character and isn’t impacted by history like Kosa Lek, Kosa Pan, Constantine Phaulkon, or the King himself and his future successors. We also know…

This week’s episodes continue the upward spiral of breaking ratings records and fanning the lakorn fever. I think what makes it even more exciting, then, let’s say a good lakorn that people watch a few years ago, is the influence of social media i.e. Twitter and Facebook. Now fans swarm Twitter with its appropriate hashtags and gone are the old ways of watching lakorns. You can fangirl with other fangirls, people even tweet pictures of their viewing parties, complete with looking the part! So it’s no surprise that the ratings skyrocketed and the lakorn is the number one trending on Twitter. But let’s not kid anyone here, the Show itself has a great story at its core, phenomenal directing, and amazing actors to bring…

Have we all survived the long weekend without Buppae Sunniwas? I know some of you are rewatching for the umpteenth time and probably has memorized all of Khun Meun’s swoony stares, his close proximity to Katesurang every chance he gets (like dude can’t get any closer and I love it) and Katesurang’s ever constant vigil of staying exactly the same, which is why I love her. She’s strong, confident, sassy, and as fearless as they come. I wouldn’t wager to say that she’s a woman of our modern time, because she’s so much more than that. Her clever rebuttal, quick wit and knowledge seeking personality has really done a number on Khun Meun, you can slowly see how she has unraveled him from the…

Squeee. Episode 7 was so good, I’m so sad there weren’t more to watch. I’m falling in love with Khun Muen falling in love with Katesurang. Every time he looks at her, I die a little inside (of the happy variety!) Wow, Pope is born to play an Ayuthayan man. And Katesurang? She’s the best friend you wish you had in Ayuthaya era. You’d think a little corporal punishment may deter her from venturing out, think again. I’m opening up this thread so we can discuss Buppae Sunniwas up to tomorrow’s episode. Life isn’t permitting me to delve deeply into writing reflections on this show thus far, but I’m up to deep discussions in the comment section. Tell me your thoughts – I will…
