"Yah Leum Chan" (which means:"Forget Me Not") is a romantic slap-kiss drama that showes us the second chance love-story between separated lovers, Tik Jesadporn starring as the energic and ruthless Tycoon Khemachad, and Anne Thongprasom starring as the gentle and angelic Suriyawadee. All viewers had looked forward on watching Tik and Anne star on-screen together, as they both have had acting careers over a decade and they finally choose to be on this lakhorn-project together for the first time. Suriyawadee marries a much older man to repay her family debts, and in turn has to leave her college sweetheart Khemchad. Leaving only a note, telling him to forget her, he soon gets crashed by a car and almost died. Her leaving him to marry a older rich guy makes him a dying living human being, and losing all the love he could ever feel in his heart he is determined to clear his studies and become a rich and powerful businessman just to spite Suriyawadee if he ever sees her again. Several years forward they meet again, and Khemchad has succeded in both fame and fortune, but is feared by all his employes and enemies, except his optimistic girlfriend Gaenlong (played by Rita Jensen), and Suriyawadee herself has a changed name,is a widow and have twins she is taking care of. The hatred carved into Khem`s heart multiplies when he sees Suriayadee again and swears to make her life a living hell, and hurt her the same as she hurt him before.

Revenge, seduction, forbidden love is a mix in between over the whole path in the story. Its a wonderful sight to watch Tik and Anne interact, opening the longing and pain inside the characters of Khem and Wadee. Fate did bring them together, and both of them did unknowingly choose to follow it. Many will also fan-girl over the secondary romance between Kong and Rita, their friend-to-lovers story line are so utterly adorable! Many will despise Khem`s personality (i even succeded in hating him more than i ever hated Kawee or Kongpop) as he is not the young carefree innocent man he once was in college. He is soothing hatred and does many selfish actions just for the satisfaction of it, and even seduces and tricks Wadee for revenge. But damn does he also grovel blood,hehehe! The director who brought us "Buang Hong","Tarm Ruk Keun Jai" and "Raeng Pradtanaha" and the producer who brought us "Kluen Cheewit"," Sawan Biang" and "Sood Snaeha" have both collaborated to create this lakhorn in which a important flower symbolize eternal love between Khem and Wadee, which is "Forget me Not".

This was hot hot hot!

Revenge of Begonia did catch my eye while it aired but i decided to wait til summer to watch it. Its not for everyone`s taste, especially being a web short drama, and the cliche trope (though so deliciously done) and the very dark turn of events where the mainleads get so destructive in their relationship. I loved the mainleads so much. The Male Lead was this ruthless but neverthless good hearted warrior and our female lead totally ensnared him with her pure seduction and charm...and eventually stole his heart. I love romance so much and the romance between them was so very gawd hot and passionate!

"Growing Up" is the tv-drama that started the whole KathNiel love-team fandom in the Philippines.I could not find it anywhere with eng subs, so i still watched it raw because it only had 24 episodes and i am a BIG FAN of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.According to them (in their interviews) shooting for Growing Up was one of the greatest experiences in their lives,it is also at that time they started to fall in love with each other in real life,which also lead to Daniel starting to pursue Kathryn right after they finished this tv-series.Ah,so romantic! They were so young in this series,and so adorable!

Growing Up reminds me of those coming of age summer beach tv-series that usually airs here on Sweden`s child channels on the summers. It is about Sun Spikers, a volley ball club hat involves six high-school students that makes us follow up in their lives where they dream,fall in love,get heartbroken,learn how to forgive and trying to accept the mistakes people make around you. The friendship and deep bond Sun Spikers had was incredible. How they helped and supported each other through everything during the series just made my heart touched.The highlight of this tv-series is WITHOUT A DOUBT the characters, the head-strong Ella and the rich arrogant Patrick (portrayed by Kathryn & Daniel)...both always argue with each other despite secretly loving each other,absolutely adorable!So many cute unforgettable moments between them to re-watch!

"Must Be Love" actually started KathNiel`s ( Kathryn & Daniel) trend of being the King and Queen of breaking movie box office records in Phillipines and took their stardom to another level.This movie is definitely more youth oriented,but still leaves a important message about self-love. Kathryn and Daniel are both TERRIFIC actors and co-stars!Their chemistry is MAGICAL and they always make me swoon.They took the friends-to-lovers trope on a whole another level about the child-hood bestfriends Patchot and Ivan.Patchot is the one who first relizes that she have loved him all along and it will take time for the charming Ivan to realize that his beloved bestfriend always have been his dream girl. But...love indeed makes you blind sometimes.

I absolutely loved watching Liza Soberano on-screen,she looks so beautiful! I also know she starred as the second female lead again in "Got To Believe" which is another KathNiel starrer.So glad she gets the female lead roles now!Again,i adored this movie.It is lovely,funny and so romantic!Absolutely love the dance sequences with Ivan and Patchot-simply magical!

"Mai Muang" is a old thai drama from 1999 which stars Andrew Gregson and Benz Pornchita in their younger years.It can`t be found anywhere with english subtitles so i watched it raw on Youtube. It was worth it. The production clearly didn`t rely on ratings making this lakhorn but really wanted to show the reality in humanity through the social classes,especially when it came to male modelling business where famous model Boo Rajit (played by Lek Aisoon) gets into an affair with a much older rich lady who has a grand daughter named Mai (played by Benz) who hates him with her every being,knowing he is a gold-digger and using her grandmother for her money.It doesn`t get better when Boo Rajit`s only son,the handsome and golden-hearted Charan (played by Andrew) also moves in after his mother dies in a car accident.Mai tries to figure out a way to kick the father and son out while Boo Rajit tries to use Charan for his own benefits and always manipulates him to do what he wants.

I have to say,this is not a love-story and barely has any romance.In fact both main-leads spend much more time with other people on-screen which could be frustrating at times because things got so much more interesting in their every interaction.There was so much hatred and disgust oozing out of Mai already from the start towards Charan that there is this huge wall between them that never got broken until the end.Andrew brought out a charm in the character of Charan who is a person that despite suffering from loneliness and despair always tried to find positive things in life.Benz is such a terrific actress and conveyed the emotions of such a complex heroine as Mai so well.Living rich but being a orphan and having a grandmother only obsessed with younger men was a strain for Mai who found it easier to get hot-tempered and illogical instead.She has the best character developement where life keeps throwing obstacles in her path for her to find her true self.

Watching this lakhorn i could feel how sad it went along the second half because in this story both Charan and Mai are victims of such terrible deceit that it almost destroyed them.In many ways this must be one of the most angsty lakhorns i have ever watched since it explore so many topics like abortion,prostitution,exploitation,trauma,abandonement and the whole cast managed to act out all those emotions of sadness,heartbreak and torment so well.A lakhorn of the slice of life genre,it brought many tears out of me.

What a riveting and faboulus love-story!I always love some slap-kiss,and this one definitely delivered!"Tang Parn Kammathep" (which means "Cupid's Pathway") is a romantic drama very loyal to its title,since our main-leads first time met on the road,and the story also finishes with them declaring their love for the first time on that road.I decided to watch original version from 2001 starring the veterans Andrew Gregson as the hot-tempered Traipope who kidnaps the wrong bride in "Pat" Pattaralada played by Janie Tienphosuwan. This is a tale of betrayal,revenge,abandonement,greed,stubborness and pride.Traipope lives life for his loved ones and becomes furious when he knows his father has abandoned his mistress who he has a daughter with to marry a much younger and rich woman who is Pimonpa (played by Sakaojai Poonsawatd).He plans to kidnap her to punish his father,but ends up kidnapping her carefree young sister Pattaralada instead.He holds her captive on his private island and becomes frustrated when she defies him at every turn.They despise each other with every cell of their being,but find themselves falling for each other against their wills.

Both Traipope and Pat are stubborn people who work so well together as a couple.I love their journey of love,misery,passion and heartbreak.Pat are fiercely loyal to her family,especially her evil sister Pimonpa who Traipope desperately hates.Pat makes some bad decisions in helping her sister when she should not-in turn that made Traipope so heartbroken with her bold betrayal when he clearly showed her all along how he felt about her.But in turn of punishment Traipope decides to blackmail her into marrying him.That showed however much Pat hurts him,he is still unwilling to let her go.Just love how possessive and madly in love with her Traipope is!He loves her so much he couldn`t live without her.Andrew portrayed the complexity of Traipope`s character so well.This is my first lakhorn watching him on-screen and i was so blown away that i have become a bit obsessed by him!Ah,what a devilish charm he has as Traipope who fought in every means to win Pat`s love.I love every episode of this lakhorn,and it always got more and more intense and exciting!I now already want more and wish it never ended!Traipope`s and Pat`s love-story are so sweet,charming,funny,angsty and romantic!

"Kaen Sanaeha" starring Son Songpaisarn and Patricia Tanchanok as the Leading Man and Lady had an amazing chemistry together.Watching the first three episodes we get presented to a classic type of love-triangle.1:st wife,Lord Husband and his mistress,where both woman loves him but he only loves his mistress Bulah.The 1:st wifes loyal servant Fueng takes the pregnant mistress as a captive while the husband are overseas and cruelly steals her born son,but not knowing that she still are pregnant with a daughter.Fueng commands a slave to kill the mistress and throw her body on the river,but hearing the cry of the now born daughter,the slave Yord feel pity and saves both the mistress and her now born http://daughter.In another palace a daughter are born,while the three year old Chatt (Son`s character) happily goes around knowing he has become a older brother.Out of the river into their territory a man, unconscious woman and a child has arrived.The father and grandmother of Chatt decides to help these people and Yord also pretends to be mute not to answer any questions.But that day the mother of Chatt dies,and he with an sorrowful anger blames her death on the woman and her daughter for arriving.We watch Chatt,his sister Rima and the mistress daughter Roong (Patricias character) grow up into beautiful children,while the real twin-brother of Roong and mistress son grow up with the 1`st wife,thinking she are his mother and a father who lies paralyzed in bed because of the sorrow of losing his beloved Bulahn who he always thought of his true wife.Chatt bullies and abuses Roong mentally and does everything to make her life a living hell,but cares about her secretly...and soon growing up we watch him being entraced by Roong`s gentle beauty and goodness,and fall in love with her along with the process,and all the while Chatt`s sister Rima fall in love with the one young man she has treated as her enemy,Roongs twin-brother Chai Diew.Many misunderstandings will come between these two couple,especially Chatt and Roong,and with a haunting spirit after revenge these four will have to defeat the evilness that was created in the long gone past of their parents.

I normally don`t watch thai lakhorns or tv-series with paranormal fantasy that has ghosts or haunted spirits or magic,but i gave this one a chance mostly because i wanted to watch Son on-screen-i really love this actor like i love Push and Pae and i wish that these three actors someday will starr in lakhorn together as Maffia-Brothers,that would be so Cool!All three of them are tall,dark-haired and incredibly handsome!
I love this story,the plot and the whole structure of the drama and the romantic elements that takes place.Most people will hate Son`s character Chatt as he really behaves like a arrogant and proud bastard towards his heroine Roong,but i love their romance anyway,and i love the fact that the creators saved the Best Romance for the Last.Which means that the last episode are wonderful,you will love it.!There are many characters and follows four families-which means that there also are a whole lot of family-drama.But you will love it anyway-as the pure love-story of Chatt and Roong really amazes you...!

This roller-coaster was View`s and Son`s debut lakhorn from 2008-and they both became one of the most popular koo-jins of channel 5 after this."Kaew Lorm Petch" introduces many interesting characters, and we see the whole difference in the switched babies trope in this drama. I just love the story-line and the whole plot was put on so well that i lived in it. Everyone acted great except Son, who somehow was so robotic in his character as the Main Hero Cheewin-but he was great in his romantic chemistry with View`s character as the Main-Heroine Nampeth. I have watched him before in the romantic comedy "Hua Jai Rua Puang" where his acting was Amazing. The drama grew more intense after every episode and you just grew impatient for the final battle of the villian-and for the dark hidden secret to be revealed.

"Roy Marn" is a lakhorn with all of my favourite tropes.Its filled with fun,sweetness and romance with very dark undertone to it and villians that deserve to die.I have always wanted to finish this one since i put it on-hold for a few months before i picked it up again and i fell in love with the story-line more and more.Margie and Boy captured my heart when i watched them together in the popular "Hearts Behind the Mountains"-series so i badly wanted to watch more of their work together.Bee (played by Margie Rasri) is a cheerful and spirited tomboy who lives life the way the wind sends her.She is explosive,stubborn and wild...but of all the characters in this lakhorn she had the purest heart.The rich businessman Mark (played by Boy Pakorn) is a very cynical character from the start that has a certain bitterness towards life.Not only because of the heartbreak he got from his ex-girlfriend but also because of the tragic way his aunt died.He have grown up knowing all his life the way his aunt got brutally raped by her brother-in-law and how she died of unfortunate events after that.This aunt is actually his fathers adopted sister,and Bee`s mother which only ties their fates more close.Bee and Mark despise each other on sight and does everything to make the other lives miserable.But everything takes an unexpected turn when Mark`s bride disappears and Bee gets forced to take the place as Mark`s bride.It will make for a unforgettable journey for both Mark and Bee.

This has to be one of the most slow-burn romantic lakhorns i have ever seen since they only fall in love after they get married after like 10 episodes.Mark fell in love with her much earlier while Bee had to truly see the goodness of Mark to get feelings for him.Margie did a great job as the stubborn tomboy Bee,she totally lighted up the screen with her expressions and crazy tantics!Boy gave a certain vulnerability to Mark`s character.He has the greatest character developement in this story where he realizes how he only makes his life harder by not being true to himself.He becomes more honorable,patient and nice throughout the story and falling for Bee was actually the best thing that could ever happen to him and i am so happy Bee and Mark found each other.Their scenes made me sigh,laugh and cry.I had so much fun with them!!Bella Ranee plays one of the evil Nang Rai`s in this one and wow how i got blown away by her performance.She was really good at making me hate her!

I have been waiting to watch this lakhorn for a year now, and i have now finally finished this soap opera with a big happy heart. "Game Sanaeha" starring Thailand`s beloved actors Taew Natapohn Tameeruks as the head-strong and spoiled heiress Nok, and James Ji as the Fearless but noble business tycoon Nai will get enraptured by the cold war between them, where a game will surface. While Nok bitterly hates Nai for everything he stands for, Nai who all along always loved her in the shadows fight desperately for her love...and i enjoyed every minute of it!
I don`t think i have cried this much in a while. God but the trainwreck in this story almost undid me. The consuming angst and the hot chemistry between James and Taew almost baffled me, and i loved it! I don`t think i have ever seen James more sexier than his character as Nai. I have watched many lakhorns starring James, but he has never acted so well as he did in this lakhorn as the tortured hero Nai. The expressions and the feelings that shimmered from him were all to good to be true,and Taew with her explosive performance as the spitfire character of Nok was so incredible that i actually for the first time truly fell in love with this actress too. Their romance are so swoony and the angst so heartbreaking that i have lost count of how many times i closed my lips for fear to the characters (especially Nok,she really knew how to push Nai`s buttons and make him kiss her passionately,ahh but i love slap-kiss). This is a MUST-WATCH for all lovers of Romantic Lakhorns. "Game Sanaeha" has the best charming cast that plays wonderful characters, hate-ful villians, drama with its exciting intrigues and a boiling burning romance where our hero with a extreme loyalty and patience loves our wild heroine throughout the journey, which really fascinated me. James Ji and Teaw gives us extraordinary performances in this intense drama...i could not sleep for two days while watching the whole journey...the Love-Story of Nok and Nai one i will never forget.!

"Bad Romeo" was one of the most anticipated lakhorns to watch on my list ever since it got stated that both Urassaya & Mario would co-star as love-interests which was my dream come true. And in a project produced by Anne Thongprasom made it even better. I did not get disappointed since i just finished binge watching this lakhorn in just three days. Oh my, what a journey this has been. Saikim Kidakan is the heroine played by Urassaya Sperbund in this tale, born into richness and luxury but with a sad,loney and to much controlled of a existence inside the golden cage her father has built around her. To get a little taste of freedom she chooses to change her lifestyle with her friends and thats where she meets the tough but golden hearted car-mechanic Kaokla played by Mario Maurer. Fate is a irresistible force where both meet at a time where they needed each other. And how could they resist the temptation of each other at a fateful night where both submits to the passion between them.

This night however results into a unexpected pregnancy and Kaokla willingly wants to help Saikim with whatever decision she wants. They elope, fall in love and get married and later on gets cruelly separated from each other. Both gets so broken inside that a piece of them dies, especially Kaokla who almost loses everything..even his life. No wonder his anguish and heartbreak turned into hatred...no wonder he wanted to ruin everyone who wanted to ruin him. His heart turns stone-cold...wanting to punish his beloved wife and family for destroying his family.

What a journey this has been.I never wanted this to end. So many smiles, tears and laughted i shared with these characters that were to die for, especially Klaokla & Saikim. Their unstoppable love...always growing. I felt so bad for them, my heart hurt so much when they tried to hurt each other. This was such a epic slap-kiss story, i just could not stop watching. Yaya & Mario did incredible job in this story, i am so amazed and in love with their passionate on-screen chemistry. Bad Romeo has become on of my favourite lakhorns to re-watch!

The first season of "He is into her" totally made me fall in love with the story and all the characters,especially the hate-love romance between Maxpein & Deib. They have become so iconic in such short time and i was so excited when the second season came out and i finally got the time to sit down and watch it after i re-watched season 1. Again, what a wonderful and bittersweet conclusion to the fates of characters that grow up, learn about love and life and fight for your happiness. In this case we knew that a terrible break up was fated to be for the star-crossed lovers because of a past that tied them together. My heart and soul hurt for both Maxpein & Deib. They were so torn and heartbroken. Obstacles never ending and becoming worse. Still they loved each other even more and even managed to love each other in a mature way, letting the other grow...letting your soulmate fly. Thats how much Deib loved Max. Thats how much Max loved Deib. They never let go of each other hands even at the most terrible time. I cried buckets when Deib still held out a umbrella to the sobbing Max in the rain just after she broke his heart. One of my favourite moments in the entire drama. It was romantic, it was so darn sad, it was epic.

I am not into the Horror genre but i am currently obsessed with Kathryn & Daniel so i am literally planning to watch everything i can find with them on Netflix.I definitely enjoyed the story,which are unlike anything other i have watched.I watched it with my younger sister who also enjoyed the movie!The film was pretty much spooky but done with much feelings. Daniel portrays the rebellious teenager Cedric who meets the coffin seller Leni portrayed by Kathryn.Despite their bad start they fatefully meet again but under the circumstances where they this time will lose their beloved ones to the grip of a dead spirit that will haunt everything they hold dear.Together Cedric and Leni decides to destroy the spirit.

I found the little boy Macmac very cute and my heart broke so much for him! It was so sad seeing him having to see those dead spirits.Cedric is a very mean guy from the start who under Leni`s influence starts to soften.I thought their blooming romance in these horrifying circumstances was very well done.I mean,the chemistry is always off the charts between them,love them so much!
