Epic romance designation doesn't do this justice; this was a PHENOMENAL romance and had it not been cut left and right (because of religious protests), it would have been PERFECT!! I'm not a romantic. As a matter of fact, I rarely watch them but this was a FABULOUS romance. I was totally swept into the story and loved every minute. Even though it was cut at various points, it really wasn't bad and I forgave them for it because it was beyond their control. Talk about feels! I had them in spades and that doesn't happen very often! The cast was stunning to watch. Tui Teerapat Satjakul (Sharif) was sensational! His handsome persona, commanding presence on the screen just overwhelmed your eyes! Usamanee Kwan (Michelle) is a stunning looking woman. Her character, at times will drive you nuts with the whining and complaining in the desert but simply watching Sharif will make up for it. Great drama!!

Simply amazing. A foreigner enters a different land but still manages to stay true. I absolutely love the actors in this film. They’re chemistry was amazing. The two main leads were entertaining as well as lovable. I enjoyed watching it. It was the opitomy of a romance series. Not too over the top. It was really sweet, not your typical cheesy romance but a true development of something pure. I recommend this seems to anyone who is looking for a heartfelt, romantic series to watch. It has action, politics, that one crazy relative as well as the one on realistic relative relative. I finish this series in one day because it was just that good

I wish all thai lakorns remained in Thailand

Let's face it, it's the same with k-drama or j-drama, whenever they go to Europe or to America, I am suffering (like please, please, pleaaaase, don't try to speak english!:) Here, it's even worse. Kwan Usamanee is first attempting to sound as french (my ears hurt). THEN we have all the arabic setting. Neither Tui Thiraphat nor Nat Arnus Rapanich seem to understand that putting that thing on their head does NOT make them look like arabs. The whole romantic line did not work on me either, as I just don't find Kwan Usamanee as irresistibly beautiful as she would have to be for it to make the slightest sense. Even Stephan Santi got old and looks gross here:-( It dragged but I watched many other dramas in between so I managed to finish this somehow and now it's more or less blissfully forgotten.

Em minhas experiências com lakorns, Fah Jarod Sai, sem dúvidas, foi o que terminei mais rápido. Desde o início tudo me agradou, começando pelo roteiro até a atuação. Eu particularmente tenho uma cisma com atores tailandeses, não consigo sentir o ator entrando no personagem, é tão mecânico que estou até agora bem surpresa por ter gostado das interpretações. Bom, vou começar a falar sobre o plot, que é muito diferente do que estamos acostumados. O drama é tailandês que se passa entre a França e um país do Oriente Médio.. Dá para imaginar a loucura? Quando vi que tinha Oriente Médio envolvido resolvi dar uma chance na hora, sou apaixonada por algumas partes da cultura (as roupas, as jóias, as decorações, as paisagens..). Puxando para a paisagem, tenho que dizer que a fotografia é muito boa, se comparada ao tempo em que foi filmada, entretanto os efeitos especiais são péssimos, mas isso não prejudica o andamento do drama.

Sobre os personagens, vou citar apenas alguns que chamaram minha atenção. Começando pela mãe do nosso mocinho, a Princesa Zubaida, a mulher tinha garra, enfrentou o vilão várias vezes, foi uma bruxa no final, mas eu gostei dela. O rei Ahmed no início parece ser um cara legal, depois fiquei com raiva dele, achando o mesmo muito arrogante e voltei a gostar dele.. enfim, sem muito a dizer. Nossa protagonista me conquistou no início, mas foi pela beleza porque o personagem era bem fraco, no decorrer eu comecei a ficar com raiva dela por destratar nosso mocinho.. Cara ela no início aceita ser concubina, SIM CONCUBINA do rei por um motivo bem tosco, e quando o mocinho começa a investir, ela fica de graça. Sério, não colou muito essa 'pureza', enfim, ela continuou fazendo merda no restante do lakorn.

O vilão foi bem ganancioso, malvado, louco, mas com um pouco de honra. Apesar de todas essas características ruins, me diverti muito com as caras e bocas que o ator fazia, deixava um pouco mais leve as maldades que ele cometia. O nosso mocinho, Sharif, foi o personagem que mais se destacou e o ator que melhor atuou. O prota é aquele personagem TDB. Tem um sorriso, um olhar, um corpo, muita determinação, muita lealdade (até demais), é romântico e além de tudo isso é lindo e sucessor do trono. Mas tirando todas essas qualidades, eu achei interessante a forma que ele trata as mulheres, bem diferente de outros personagens e dos costumes do seu país.

Finalizando.. recomendo.
