I watched this drama at work to help me get through the boring week and it was a nice treat. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. The main actor and actress had really good chemistry. Everytime they were together I either laughed or smiled or felt emotionally invested with what was going on and I think that is what made this drama so likable for me. I actually cared about them and what was going on in their life. I found the whole fortune telling aspect of the story interesting and I actually played a big part of the story. And it has you wondering is love really destined or is it just all a big coincident? There were some over the top moments which are normal for lakorns but they were very fun to watch none the less. Also I like the way they handled certain characters, you got to see a full back story with them and a better understanding for their actions. I even got caught off guard by one character's past. This drama had a lot of typical lakorn cliches but it did venture away from that a little here and there and I found myself unable to stop watching it. It's cute, filled with lots of drama at every corner and overall fun. I loved all the characters and everyone put their heart into it.

I was looking forward to this one

So far, none of the previous 'Cupid' stories has received higher than average rating from me (some received lower). But this one I was looking forward to: cast is hot (he's the lead from 'Fatal Destiny') and also this girl's character got my attention since the first introduction at the beginning of the first story (she said falling in love & having a boyfriend was too EXPENSIVE, lol).

Tono & Nychaa make kinda uneven couple as he is decade older. But Pear Pitchapa's nang'rai makes things unexpectedly interesting (and I am a kind of audience who is NEVER interested in having a nang'rai:) Also this nang'ek, who is capable of chasing a purse-snatcher on a motorcycle and then beat him with her helmet, just because he took her money, then replying dead seriously to the pra'ek who's kidding her that he would sign her up for next race on big money, that if the money is big she would do it, keeps things from boring. So you see, I had to wait for 6th Cupids story out of 8 to finally not be bored, at least. But their kiss was fake. So, though I was not bored, I was not pleased (there's something so hot about Tono Pakin, but it's wasted here). But, we see more and more glimpses of the final couple's story, which I suspect would be the best (Ken Theeradeth:)

In conclusion, this was a nice watch, WITH the exception of the skinship. It's a pitty as else the two of them seemed so natural, and they LOOKED super cute together. But when it came to a kiss, it always changed to rigid or awkward... Okay, there's a real, but stiff kiss in episode 6 (Nychaa is just too young and/or constrained to really go for it). And also with the exception of the stupid role of Honey Passorn Boonyakiat (and the whole side line that concerned her character) or the fact that another side-character goes way too much psycho for this kind of genre. It filled the final episode with amateur crime cr*p instead of romance and I seriously thought the death too much. Looks like (*sigh*) even this Cupid story won't make it over average rating.

Cupid Hut is a dating agency, this show was supposed to be about dating. Not about the agency to end up being sued for not doing enough background check and letting serial killers in. It's hard to think about romance after that. The producers of this should concentrate on one genre, preferably the one they were able to do in good enough quality (I am actually tired of pointing this out while watching lakorns:)

I'm watching the second to last of the series right now and I want to say this is my top 2 out of them but I can't be for sure. I just really liked the ML and the FL together, things weren't toxic or bad in anyway, they were really cute and had great chemistry. The story was a little outrageous and far fetched so I was like dang and they also didn't have to make the end as crazy as it was but that's cool too. Lol. I just really liked how the ML was sweet in his own way and the FL is always great, she's one of my favs and the two clicked. This show is definitely a time killer, nothing to invest your life into but you can binge it easily and quickly when you need something filling and good.

Sympa sans plus

J'ai commencé mon intrusion dans la série des Cupids par un des derniers car je n'avais pas encore trouvé de listing indiquant l'ordre chronologique des histoires. Après quoi, je viens de commencer le 1er de la série, du coup j'arrive à mieux comprendre le contexte, car certaines choses sur le fonctionnement de The Cupid Hut (l'agence de rencontre où travaillent nos 8 demoiselles), sont seulement évoquées ici alors que le premier volet de la série permet de mieux comprendre ce contexte. Donc un petit conseil, mieux vaut commencer par Kammathep Hunsa.

Basiquement, The Cupids Series raconte, en 8 dramas différents, les histoires de coeur de 8 jeunes femmes célibataires qui travaillent dans une agence de rencontres sous les ordres d'un patron un peu caractériel. Pour booster les résultats de l'agence il a besoin d'employées qui s'y connaissent un minimum en relations amoureuses, donc il exige qu'elles trouvent un petit ami dans un délai maximum d'un an (si elles y parviennent elles auront le droit d'empocher un joli pactole). Chacun des dramas va raconter la romance d'une de ces jeunes femmes, le dernier s'achevant par le couple formé entre Waralee (la plus âgée et compétente de l'agence) avec le-dit patron caractériel. L'histoire qui nous concerne ici raconte la romance entre Milin, une jeune femme pauvre qui économise pour subvenir aux besoins de son oncle et sa tante qui l'ont élevée, et Saran, un dentiste fortuné qui ne croit ni au destin ni à l'amour. Se greffent une intrigue policière et la jalousie d'une ancienne "amie" qui la faisait déjà tourner en bourrique quand elles étaient enfants.

Je dirais que l'histoire est sympa pour passer le temps, sans plus. On ne perd rien si on ne la visionne pas, ça ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard comme on dit, et la romance entre les deux héros est assez basique. Ce qui est néanmoins à noter, c'est l'aspect "thriller" qui prend forme petit à petit et entraine des complications dans la deuxième moitié du drama. Ce point-là n'est peut-être pas génial, mais en tout cas il est bien agencé et convenablement relié à l'histoire principale, de sorte que ça suscite notre intérêt et nous pousse à regarder jusqu'à la fin.

Alors comme dans tout drama qui se respecte, on a des scènes un peu longuettes voire franchement barbantes, mais parfois elles permettent de bien mettre en valeur l'amitié et le soutien qui règnent entre ces 8 jeunes femmes dès lors que l'une d'elles traverse une difficulté, et pour ceux d'entre nous qui ont apprécié telle ou telle héroine, les dramas consacrés à d'autres couples nous offrent l'occasion de les revoir au sein de l'agence. Sachant que l'amitié féminine est souvent décrite comme fausse et entachée de rivalité, c'est plutôt rafraîchissant d'autant qu'on a souvent en prime le cliché de l'evil bitch qui vient pourrir la vie de l'héroïne. Là du coup, l'amitié qui règne entre les filles vient compenser et je suis toujours partante s'il s'agit de donner une image positive des femmes dans les dramas.

La musique... je n'ai pas vraiment fait attention, j'avoue, mais elle n'avait rien d'original. En résumé, les points à retenir, ce sont la romance plutôt mignonne entre les protagonistes, et l'intrigue policière assez bien gérée (même si remplie de coïncidences, mais vu que la tarologie et le destin viennent y fourrer leur nez, ça reste logique dans le cadre de l'histoire). Parfait pour ceux qui veulent visionner un drama sans grosse prise de tête et l'oublier ensuite.
