Jark Sadtroo Soo Hua Jai (2020)

Enemy to the heart, turns out the direction to become lovers isn't too far.

Since I have nothing better to do, why not make a whole review revamped about my favorite lakorn Jark Sadtroo Soo Hua Jai (English Translation: From Enemy to the Heart)

Something to make clear: This is a slap kiss lakorn but sometimes people don't think so, imo definition in slap kiss there are forced kisses, forced seduction, and some sort of makjang, male chases female first. Don't turn back though, since you'll find yourself relaxed even if there are forced kisses, the slap kiss level on this is medium (more bolder than Kluen Cheevit, but less than Hua Jai Sila). So don't get warned with all of the slap kiss tags on there.

I'm deciding to make my review medium sized since it was a long one and I decided that making another review for my favorite lakorn is the best.

One word since I'll use this A LOT: Chemistry.

That's right chemistry makes it. The chemistry between Aum and Mik is burning hot that it burned my soul and body. They have the best chemistry in Channel 7 and though this is subjective, many people did love their chemistry and I might be the number one fan that loves the chemistry, of course again chemistry is subjective and people may have their picks.

If you somehow decide to torture yourself and miss out on this lakorn, by dropping it don't. Stay until at least episode 7 and if you don't feel the chemistry, your a tortured soul (Just Kidding, Am I? LOL).

Mik Thongraya as Jett I'll give 5 words since this is supposed to be a short review: Caring, Protective, Possessive, and madly in love with the female lead, oops I went over limit.

Aum Patcharapa as Sophita this time I will really give 5 words: Cold, Protective, Business Minded, Family Minded and oh a professional in rejecting Jett's feelings. (Just so you know there is a good 10 episodes where she decides that she likes the male lead, while he falls first in episode 5 or you think of it as 1 LOL).

Both of them have done the best, of course many Aum lakorns aren't subbed but she is the queen of lakorns in Thailand I don't know how well she acted in other lakorns but to this day I consider this as her best lakorn and Mik's as his best and my favorite, along with their best performance to date of what I saw with them. Mik thongraya is my second favorite actor in Thailand, and Aum is one of my favorite actresses due to this lakorn, that's how much chemistry lasts.

I don't think anyone could replace their chemistry and they are my top OTP in lakorn land and one of my top's in all of Asian drama land.

Supporting characters did what did they, gave us relief since there were many intense moments here. The villain's were stiff although I'd say Rawin did make a impact on me with his acting, and the twist to the villain is great. Rin did a great job as well.

Even after this airing in 2020, and now 2021 I still think this has a very unique plot, I LOVE IT! Hmu if you find something like this.

There were many sweet moments between the leads and I would say this did really focus on romance but with a touch of the action with the side. Jett imo, is a very twistable character so if you get annoyed or fearful of him at the start, understand that he is nothing compared with normal lakorn male leads, despite the forceful kisses and there isn't rape here although a uncomfortable almost willing.

The music is chef's kiss like the lakorn is, the title song represents the lakorn. The song by Nam Kula I had it on repeat, the first one just showed that Jett felt like he was in a one sided love waiting and waiting for the Sophita, and I outright loved it. The song by Lula shows Sophita's wavering in hate from love and I loved it.

This has a happy ending and I don't want to spoil more I already gave off plent.

Watch this give this a try, it's my favorite lakorn it can become yours too. There's nothing wrong with trying this, I mean I even made a review twice you can see my dedication into getting you to watch this, and usually Moonlight is the laziest person on earth.

I've rewatched this about 30 times so far and yes I'm crazy, I feel shy admitting this, I need wine now. The rewatch value is high for me and the chemistry doesn't die down EVER, oh and this has steamy kisses in lakorn world where we get half as**d kisses.

Have a glass of vodka because the starting is very hyped up and enjoy watching!

(Wait this got too long, OH SORRYZ (it was supposed to be short at first T-T)

Buckle up to watch her worst enemy become her one and only love!

First of all, I’m thankful to a good friend of mine who recommended this to me during the holidays because hands down, this for me was the best Thai lakorn of 2020. It had all the elements that I love in a drama, a perfectly executed storyline, BGM/OSTs, production, even the actors and actresses did a fantastic job portraying their characters. Mainly, it’s one of the storylines that makes you binge watch, guessing all the possibilities and see the mysteries unfold slowly without having to go through boring or fast forwarding moments.

This drama is a perfect combination of romance, comedy, action, and of course, mystery/suspense. The storyline revolves around a hitman who gets assigned to kill the elder sister of his ex-girlfriend (You’ll know the reason why), but instead of killing her, he becomes the person who protects her from all the evil encounters. Even though both leads are met with many misunderstandings, their hate-to-love relationship grow into something special as they both unfold the mysteries behind the FL's younger sister’s death, illegal drug smuggling case within the FL’s company, their own misunderstandings, etc. I would strongly recommend you to watch this because I really do not want to spoil you with anything else. Mainly because this lakorn has 19 episodes and the storyline is the main thing that keeps you in suspense until the very end.

When it comes to the actors and actresses, I will be honest and say I was not a huge fan of both the leads. I have watched Mik in some of his previous lakorns, so to me, he was pretty average. After this lakorn, my thoughts have completely changed because ladies and gentlemen! Mik can act! His role here as the bad-ass, kind, caring, protective, smart, and mainly, ROMANTIC bodyguard will make you fall for him! When it comes to the FL, instantly I felt annoyed with her voice because it is my first time watching her. However, trust me on this, everything else about this drama will make you forget about the negative aspects of the FL! Especially the romantic, funny moments between the leads! Their chemistry is on fire guys! Other than that, you will also come across lovable side characters and of course, the evil ones with many secrets! By the way, this lakorn does not focus on a secondary couple (although there are few cute/funny moments between a potential couple), but mainly, you will adore the bromance between our ML and his cute, ride-or-die best friend, Pong. Pong will be one of your favorite characters for sure!

Last but not least, the production of this lakorn was amazing! The OSTs and BGM adds so much flavor and intensity to this lakorn. For example, some of the action scenes reminded me of k-dramas like The K2 due to the intensity factor.

With that being said, I would highly recommend this lakorn to anyone! This will be a memorable one in my list because I laughed A LOT, shed some tears, and let’s just say I fell hard for this lakorn (Let’s not forget Mik hehe). Hope to see more storylines like these in the future.
