Ngao Jai (2015)

What a freaking disappointment for an ending. Why do I feel like Watit was rolling around in his grave at the travesty!? I felt that not only did he not get any vindication but it clearly was left on the cutting room floor. This last episode could have been so much better. Besides the fact that the wasted like 2-3 episodes in the village, granted, the scenes were for them to get closer but I could think of better ways to show us that. I just wasn't a happy camper.

The chemistry that I saw in Sud Sai Pan between View and Toom was sadly lacking in this one. Maybe the scenes with the chemistry were shown when I must have dozed off a dozen times watching this. As far as the bad guys; Easy deaths and all that 'forgiveness, I've seen the error of my ways' scenes. Please!! People after their evil intent just didn't repent enough. Angkoon was NUTS!! Best acting in the drama!

Fans of View and Toom, watch if you dare. It is definitely not the worse I've watched but it had so much potential that was truly wasted. Hate that!

The first lakorn I actually hated

I love me some ToomVill, but this was a disappointment for me.
STORY: Honestly, this drama's huberis was its story. The premise was unique, which was good, but very poorly executed. The storytelling was choppy to the extreme; at one point in the drama, Vill twists her ankle, and Toomtam has to carry her. Then the next morning roles around, and it's like the ankle never happened! Frankly, unless Vill has superhuman healing powers, that ankle was a deus ex machina if ever I saw one. And that was certainly not the only time something like that happened.The villain made me laugh. He literally shouted about all his evil plans right outside the OPEN DOORS of the house. Seriously, no one EVER overheard him? Was everyone in this drama deaf?Wathit was just downright terrible as a character. Not a single scene depicts him even feeling SAD about his brother's death, and then he goes and makes a play for his dead brother's wife, all without ANY remorse at all. Any normal human being would have a raging internal battle at the very least, feeling attracted to the dead brother's wife but wanting to honor the brother's memory. But apparently Wathit was above such petty matters. I almost wanted the villain to get the girl, because in my eyes, Wathit was more villainous than Denkhun.
ACTING/CAST: The acting was good for the lousy material given. None of the actors could shine because the script was so bad. Denkhun did do a good job as the villain though, and ToomVill's comedic timing was downright PERFECTION.
MUSIC: The music was awesome. I listen to the soundtrack for this drama all the time, even though I have never rewatched the drama itself.
REWATCH VALUE: That's a funny joke.
