Rak Prakasit (2000)

The best thing about this lakorn was the location it was filled.
The scenery is beautiful and that is one of the things I loved the most about this lakorn.
The storyline is nothing to be excited about honestly, I gave it a higher rating because of the cast. Any lakorn with Ning or Num in it, I've always enjoyed and their individual acting makes it enjoyable. I wish more of Num's older lakorns are widely available because his acting as always been really good, even if the storyline is bland.

The main drama of the storyline is family conflict. Our FL's sister in law is super negative and judgey towards her for no reason and after FL''s father's death she wanted to kick her out. Took advantage of it while FL's brother was in Korea.
We also have our ML's sister, Lek who has her own mental issues and is possessive and straight out crazy regarding her brothers. She is so focus on material possession and very selfish for her own gain. Truly her possessive love towards her older brothers, she means well (she see's whos after them for money/status/possession and drives them away - truly a force to be reckon with) but she presents it in a toxic way and causes alot of stress and problems onto others.

FL's character at the beginning of the lakorn was strong and not weak-willed but I didn't like how she was quick to put up her walls with ML especially regarding the ex-girlfriend. That was frustrating. How many times did our ML try to explain and tell her what is going on but have always come to a misunderstanding.

I personally thought it was stupid that they had the old employee make an appearance at the end to try to hurt ML... it wasn't necessary and all issues have been resolved already. Felt unneeded.

I know there is a remake- I think the storyline from the remake is fairly different from this version base on the synopsis. Overall it is good lakorn, very chill and not overly dramatic.
Num has two songs in this lakorn- one is the opening and the other is such a sweet song.
