Sai Yai Sawad (2008)

"Sai Yai Sawad" (which means: Passionate Bond) is a contemporary slap-kiss lakhorn starring the veteran thai actress Kob Suvanant as Lai the widow of a old businessman and clashes in a war of passion against his only son who is now her stepson,the very handsome and hot-tempered "Ae" Aekan who is played by Stephan Tasit.This is the third time Kob and Stephan co-star together-with Jaroon Thamsin as the director since he also was the director of the other two Kob-Stephan starrers "Lhong Ngao Jun" and "Poo Som Fao Sap".I have watched and did enjoy their first lakhorn together "Lhong Ngao Jun" and really wanted to watch more of their work together as co-stars."Sai Yai Sawad" was very intense in every episode,it was also better directed and edited although sometimes repetitive with the dialuges between the main-leads.I was also more impressed by Stephan`s acting as the badboy Aekan,there was more naturalism to his acting than in his earlier lakhorn.

Kob is as amazing as always.Just love her acting and presence and i simply want to dig more into her other lakhorns and watch more of her.There is something about her i find very likable!I watched this lakhorn raw since it has not been eng subbed.I could follow the plot very easily but did struggle to understand the conversations sometimes especially when it came to the secret of which people are the little boy Arn`s real parents.I also adore how Aekan and Arn`s relationship slowly develops throughout this lakhorn and i thought them adorable together.When it comes to the romance it was pure hate-love relationship.Lai and Aekan hate each other with bitterness,but can`t help but be attracted to each other.They fight in every episode til the end,which is about 96 % of the story,so there are very little sweet moments between them since they were too busy insulting each other,fighting,throwing the other in the pool,Aekan forcing kisses on her while she afterwards scratches him on the face (that scene is memorable,lol).They pushed each other`s buttons like no other.I also need to give some credit to the clumsy servant who always seemed to grate on Aekan`s nerves,lol.She was so funny!I will say this lakhorn is far from perfect,but i still did enjoy it mostly because of the on-screen chemistry between Kob and Stephan i found so carnal at times.
