Soju's Top 10 Lakorns That Are Adapted From Thai Novels | Part 1 Monthai is from a rich and well respected family, and is the only son of his mother (who is the legal wife) and his father. He is also engaged and in love with the family friend's eldest daughter, Viyada. Due to Monthai's father being a womaniser with many "wives", Khun Ying Tubtim is strict with her son as she does not want him to follow his father's footsteps. This leads to a rift between the mother and son when a housekeeper's daughter commits suicide because of Khun Ying's constant warnings and Monthai's engagement, and leads Monthai to cut off from his family before leaving for Australia. This also leaves Khun Ying Tubtim extremely traumatised. Bpeeyachat, on the other hand, is a poor girl who lived in the same neighbourhood as Monthai with her sickly grandma. She is indebted to Monthai and Khun Ying Tubtim through the kindness they showed her when she was a child. One day, due to an unfortunate incident, her grandmother passes away and leaves her in the care of Viyada's family. Years later, when Bpee finds out that she was raised in order to be Viyada's father's mistress she escapes to take care of Khun Ying with the help of Pam in the place of Viyada who has been unwilling to go for 4 years. Unknown to her, Monthai is already on his way to Thailand early. But what will happen when he finds out that the girl who has taken care of his mother so well for the past few weeks is not actually Viyada but someone else using her name, what will he do? Will he misunderstand her? Will he ever find out the truth? (Source: Soju at MyDramalist) Edit Translation

Reviews
By the way,i also plan to watch the 2008 version of "Ngao Asoke" starring Pong and Peung and will probably skip the 2016 version starring Sean and Eshter,not many people enjoyed it as much.
Ekarat Sarasuk plays as the good-natured and noble rich heir Monthai who thinks that his heroine the gentle angel-alike beauty Beechat (played by Ae Isariya Saisanan) is a gold-digging impostor of his girlfriends who he haven`t seen for 8 years since his depart to Australia.What he doesn`t know is that Beechat is the real woman who wrote him all the letters of love over all these years.Even not knowing this...he still can`t resist his heart that pulls him towards her.

I've watched all three versions of this drama and this is my favourite. I started with the 2016 version, then moved on to the 2008 one, and then finally watched the 1999 series. This has probably one of the darkest undertones of the three versions. One of the darkest elements introduced in this series is The Hiruwat family raising Bpee with the intention to groom her into a concubine for Wat Hirunwat, the father of the family. While this revelation is horrifying, it adds to the story by highlighting Bpee's gratitude. I think this version explains the FL's gratitude and loyalty towards the Hiruwat family the best out of all the versions released. We see that she had once struggled to accept Viyada and her family and is not blindly thankful. She's aware of their evil intent but she's too thankful towards them to do anything. Unlike alternate versions, where she was essentially a slave, she was able to go to school and work. She is aware that without the Hiruwat family's support, she would have been reduced to nothing. Not to mention, the family isn't entirely bad, she did have an ally with Pa, Viyada's sister. Pa is one of Bphee's greatest support in the series.
Another I really liked is, Mothai is much smarter in the version. He didn't blindly believe in Viyada and her lies until the very end. He recognized that Vyada wasn't as sweet and kind as he thought and was smart enough to question her. Also, he was touchy with Bpee but it was never as aggressive as the 2008 version. The 2008 version sometimes got too aggressive in that department.
