You'll probably hate it, but then you'll love it!

The show itself is based on an existing Thai novel of the same name that has been, to an extent, successfully adapted for TV. Like the summary suggests, the story starts with love and affection, slowly turns into obsession. and hate BUT that is only the first 4-5 episodes. I know, a lot of the viewers would be straight up frustrated with Paeng (our FL) and would probably wish to drop it. But I implore you to atleast reach till episode 6 before you make a decision. It really does get better. There's a reason for everything and once everything is out in the open, everything will make so much more sense. That's way too many everything's in one line lol

The Story ¯\_(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)_/¯
It is not your typical hate turns to love story. It has two people with their own emotional baggage, trying to navigate this world, one day at a time. And it's equal parts beautiful and frustrating to watch as these two absolutely lovable but dense dodo's go about trying to figure out their feelings for each other. The FL has actual reasons behind her actions and is not just a spoiled brat. I'll not say much so as not to give away. But the summary is mostly for the first few episodes. There's so much more to it and it's all worth the watch.

The Characters ¯\_(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)_/¯
There so much to unwrap, especially with Paeng. A scared and lost teenager is dropped into a completely unfamiliar environment. She has a lot of emotional baggage of her own and the people around her don't help much to elevate it. She then goes through a beautiful journey in which we see her love to the point of obsession, fall from grace but then she picks up the pieces of her life and slowly rebuilds them back again and comes out stronger. The character development of Paeng is very much visible and you go from hating to loving the girl. And please, believe in our girl! She makes some very sketchy choices that might raise you heckles but power through! It really all works out in the end. Plus, Kao has done a beautiful job in bringing out the intricacies of Paeng too.

I absolutely love to hate Arthit (our ML). Watching his character's development is like watching Sisyphus, he would constantly climb uphill only to then roll back down and start all over again. But Mark Prin manages to make us fall in love with him anyways. His eyes speak. Like literally. He wouldn't need to say a word and you'll know exactly what he's trying to say. And for once, the ML has an actual, legit reason to hate the FL and not some arbitrary 'I don't like her so I'll bully her' kind of thing. And he does redeem himself and falls head over heels (who saw that coming lol). And then we all turn into mush hehe. If you're a fan then you're in for a treat!

We also have our secondary couple in Non and Ling. They're the epitome of cute and you can see their longing for each other, especially Non. They have their own cute story and it makes you wanna cheer them on when they do finally get together. Together with Kot, they form the formidable F3 who are probably the biggest shipper of Arthit and Paeng after us lot hehe.

Like every Thai lakorn, we have our own fair share of snakes and anaconda's (the big bad villain) and they'll probably make your blood boil everytime they appear on screen. But the actors have done a really good job, especially the actor playing Mark (Yes, the big villain is called Mark, not to be confused with Mark the Prin who plays Arthit). His slimey smile, obsessive gaze and grabby hands will make you want to physically shoo him away from Paeng. But have patience for he'll eventually meet his end. Snake mom (ML's mother) is also included in the ranks and all I can say is, will someone ship her to Amazon already?

The Chemistry ¯\_(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)_/¯
There's chemistry not just between the main characters but also with the MC's and the cast. Mark and Kao get together like a house on fire. There are scenes when they don't even have lines and we still understand and feel what they're feeling. Ling, Non and Kot's F3 gang gel so well with those two. It's like friends of years getting together, helping their buddy with getting the girl and on the way, making him aware and calling him out on his behavior too. I like that despite everything in the past, the gang seamlessly includes Paeng into their group and never make her feel unwelcome.

The Music ¯\_(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)_/¯
Yes to the yes! The OST is amazing and it really matches the characters and their development through out the story. Please, please do have a listen! I never skipped either of the credits because of it. Also, the BGM is love. Like seriously. I was always ready with Shazam hehe. Thai lakorn's usually have high quality music, but this is next level.

Rewatch Value ¯\_(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)_/¯
It'll probably take you a few viewings before you can get over it. Also, RIP rewind button. Just saying ^^

Final Thoughts ¯\_(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)_/¯
I, for one, watched it as it was being broadcasted. So I had some really lovely people here at MDL to keep me company. By the time the drama would've finished airing, we'd probably have 10k comments. (EDIT: We do lol) Most of them are just us lot fangirling. But you know what? This is the power of My Forever Sunshine. You'll curse these characters to high heaven but then the very next episode you'll be cheering them on. Some episodes might make you want to pull your hair out, but that's what the skip button is for. All I can say is, use it wisely. At times, you'll really need it. It's a well crafted story (mostly) that comes with some usual lakorn hijinks and should definitely not be missed.

PS: The comment section is riddled with spoilers. So read at you own risk ^^
PPS: Re-reading the review, I feel like the tagline of the lakorn should be "Persevere, because it gets better, eventually" lol.

Hands up for the Best Lakorn of 2020


First of all I never expected it'd be that good because of that very toxic trailer.It keep saying that hate the FL but I ended up pitying her and her Character Development is realistic. I love her

STORY (☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞ It was all about Paeng an spoiled girl who's desperately looking for the Sunshine on her life. She found it on Arthit a Nice man that treat her like his own Sister. Paeng doesn't allow it and causes Arthit on the accident that changes his life and personality. When the time goes by Paeng changed herself for a better and new person. But everyone around her didn't believe that she really changed especially Arthit.

ACTING / CAST (☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞ Mark and Kao's Acting is so On-point. And their Chemistry is perfectly fantastic it was very sweet but kinda toxic.I love the way when Arthit is jealous and possessive but sometimes he's too much. I like the Second Couple which is Ling and Non they're very cute. I hate every character who doesn't like Paeng especially that Nang She doesn't even deserve Kot to be honest.

MUSIC (☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞ Absolutely Nice to ears from Intro and Ending OST. I even downloaded it on my phone. I'm more in love with the Ending OST (Male Version).

REWATCH VALUE (☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞ I will definitely Rewatch it but I will start from Episode 5 and I will definitely skipped Khun Mark not Prin scenes cause it was very annoying.

OVERALL (☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞ It went up and down,It was sweet and toxic,It was pleasing and annoying,It was happy and sad. It was a very good Drama with great Romance and average comedy.
You will not just liked it but you will love it for sure.

Very interesting & enjoyable drama. I really like it a lot. I personally think the synopsis was kind of misleading since the drama started with both of them having a good relationship with each other before the tragedy. And I like how Arthit is the only one who can relate to Paeng and her mischievous way of trying to get the attention from her parents. We understand where she's coming from and why she's behave like the way she did.

Arthit is a really great guy. I dont know how he does it but Mark somehow de-aged like how he looked in My Husband in Law that's why he still can passed as a college student here (lol). I always thought he's an amazing actor and very expressive since he can emoting really well -- when the script is ambiguous, I always rely on his facial expressions to relate on what his character supposed to be feeling. In heartbreaking scenes, he didnt need to shed tears but I know his heart is breaking just from his facial expressions alone. I found it really amazing as when you look at his face, his facial muscles barely moving but it showed a lot of emotions at the same time. And he does hating really well like he did in Kleun Cheewit. I literally can feel his anger and hatred. He really excel in this kind of role I must say. But at the same time, he smiles a loooot in this drama so its really a plus.

Kao as Paeng is hilarious, lovely, feisty and a fighter. I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for her but I ended up laugh out loud everytime Arthit had a fight with her. She maybe remorseful but she aint gonna accept everything without a fight -- thats why all her banters with Arthit is such a delight to watch. And I looooove how she is the one who always cornered Arthit when it is supposed to be the opposite. She's amazing, really. She did many first moves and I always enjoy this kind of characters where the female is the one in charged of their own destiny. There's a couple of dark episodes where she is not herself but when she's back, she's back and the drama becomes lively again.

Mark is a King of Chemistry in my book so his chemistry with Kao is engaging and a delight to watch. Their banters are lovely, fun & hilarious and they did emotional scenes really well. Aside from the chemistry, I love Arthit's bestfriends and all his workers. They're such great people and they're hilarious -- mostly all of them are funny which make the drama fun most of the times even during the sad times. And I love the houses, the farms and all the greens in the drama. The story is mainly not in Bangkok so its really refreshing to be surrounded with trees and flowers for a change. And the cinematography is really beautiful -- they went to many different places so its such a treat to the eyes.

I love that the drama always explore the meaning behind the title 'As Long as the Sky Has the Sun' / 'My Forever Sunshine'. Arthit has always been like a sun to Paeng whether the bright, warm or the hot sun to her. And the evening sun (sunset) is the Arthit that Paeng loves the most thus they are many scenes of them watching the sunset together.

This is one of the better drama for Year 2020. I hope to see this type of drama more in my life without a doubt where both the male & female leads are likeable.

What I love the most about this drama is the great ending! Truly great ending in my book:
- Paeng's 'Love Actually' apology
- Paeng's kiss attempt to win Arthit back
- Paeng's broadcasted love confession
- Paeng's marriage proposal :D
- Their disaster wet wedding
- Arthit wanting to skip the wedding and go straight to their bridal chamber and Paeng agrees without hesitation (lol)
- Paeng kissed Arthit first at their wedding
- Wet and very handsome Arthit (haha) 8D
- Lots of smiles and kisses!
- It is such a refreshing and great ending -- sweet, fun & full of heart.

I love this lakorn very much!

Actually, I decided to watch this lakorn because of Mark Prin. I trust his acting skills and his chemistry with his co-stars. In this lakorn, he did his best as usual and his chemistry with Kao is excellent. But I think Kao's acting is relatively unnatural compared to Mark's especially in the earlier episode when she was a spoiled young high school girl. Moreover, some of the supporting roles make me feel over acting. Maybe because I can't move on from Mark's previous hit lakorn, My Husband in Law which made my heart flutter and made me rewatch for several times. I don't want to compare the female leads but if I have to, I like Mew's acting much more.
I don't want to mention about the storyline here.
Another facts I like about this lakorn are the scenery and the music. The shooting location is a farm and so the scenes in the garden with colorful flowers are very very beautiful and made me feel I can smell the scent of the flowers while watching. The scenery I like the most is the scene with cherry flowers in the near ending episodes. The music is good too. I like the background music "Deeper than the ocean" that makes me heart-ache in the sad scenes. The OSTs are good too and the lyrics fit the plot.
In summary, I enjoyed watching this lakorn very much especially the later episodes when Arthit became soft yet he didn't know about his heart and I started watching live streaming without understanding Thai language and I repeated watching with subtitles in the morning. The lakorn made my first half of December filled with excitement and roller coaster ride of emotions. I have to miss this lakorn so much and I will repeat watching the sweet scenes for sure!!

I like Mark Prin ❤️

I admit I watched this drama because of Mark Prin and he is the beast Thai actor. His acting is so natural in every of his lakorns. He always makes an amazingly great chemistry with his female leads. He can make my heart flutter when he is jealous or in love scenes and l feel sad and my heart ache when he is in sad scenes. His eyes are the key point of his acting and his eyes tell everything. He is such a good actor.
The female lead Kao is young and I feel she is a little bit overacting yet their chemistry is still good.
I don't like the storyline very much and I don't like about the male lead's typical asian mom's vibe. Still the sweet scenes between male lead and female lead and second lead couple made me watch until the end.
OSTs are okay and what I impress about this drama is the scenery of a colorful garden.
Overall, I am satisfied to watch Mark Prin's excellently natural acting.

I just finished this lakorn today. It's so entertaining, lighthearted and romantic. It's the perfect drama series this holiday season.

I think this got to be the best lakorn this year for me, why? The nang'ek is not a pushover and the pra'ek is very smart. It's quite a rare thing to see in a lakorn series. There were also a lot of pranang scenes that gave me feelings like I have butterflies in my stomach lol. I love the two leads chemistry.

The most special reason for me why I like this drama a lot is because of Paeng, she started as a very misunderstood bratty character who made every person in Artit's life hate her because of her misguided attitude when provoked. She changed for the better because she matured without any trace of her past self at all after many years. She is the one person in the drama whom I think deserves happiness because I see her growth as character. As a viewer I love her to bits and pieces. Best female character in a lakorn series this year.

P.S. I am going to watch this drama again today to see what I have missed out previously. Hehe

She should have SUED that family, with the exception of sweet uncle!!

I started this drama because of the good reviews found here and because of the lead actor, who I loved in My Husband In Law, but imagine my surprise that when I saw it, I felt as if I traveled back in time to the bad old golden times of unbelievable Mexican melodramatic telenovelas, where the male lead is god incarnate and the poor female lead has to accept all the horrible treatment dished out to her, until he finally consents and graces her with his "love".

Story:
The story started with an interesting setting, where the ML (Arthit) didn't hate from the get go the FL (Paeng), who is a 16-year-old high school student. This drama can be divided in three: the death of Paeng’s parents and Arthit’s tragedy, the redemption of Paeng and Arthit’s prisoner’s guard Mexican telenovelas torture cookbook tendencies, and finally when Arthit falls in love.

The first part was the introduction, which was excellently presented to explain the second part. Poor Paeng lost her parents at the early age of 16, while going through changes in her life and experiencing hardships all related to her over reliance on her parents, since she has difficulties making friends. On the other hand, we have Arthit, who is living a perfect university life, surrounded by friends and family. Unlike Paeng, he remembers their connection and at first, he tries to understand her, being her first real friend and the only one that actually cares for her. This leads to Paeng making Arthit her anchor in life, which leads to the tragedy waiting to happen. Arthit’s mother and maids are horrible, the only one who is nice in that family is the father, seriously I lost all possible sympathy on the mother early on, such a horrible two-faced character, bullying a kid who just faced unbelievable loss, even though she does not know the whole story, she knows Paeng lost both her parents!! Then the tragedy happens, while trying to attach herself to the only person who likes her and treats her well in that family, she unwittingly creates a misunderstanding; leading to Arthit having an important accident and she get all the blame for it!! I mean, I understand that she precipitated it, but he had a big share of the blame!! He drives while drunk and upset, but noooo, all the blame is put on Paeng. This goes on from episode 1 to episode 5, and I have already lost my patience with mom, the two maids and by episode 3 with Arthit too.

The second part, is where we see the personal growth of Paeng and are finally introduced to the real person she is, a nice girl trying to live her life. She was sent to Bangkok to continue her education and to get over all the tragedies she suffered, with the help of Arthit’s father, who is the most likable character of the show. Arthit’s character goes through a reversal, where he becomes a thoroughly heartless, merciless, bastard, full of his own importance, who only lives in the past and derives great joy in torturing poor Paeng. What I do not understand, is why, oh why, she put up with all the abuse dished out by Arthit? What any normal person would have done was, leave that bloody farm as soon as possible, at least until Arthit’s father arrived! Say to uncle, “I tried to do what you want, but I will not put myself through the sheer physical and mental torture that horrible son of yours wants to put me through, since it is quite obvious everyone here lives in the past and no one has forgiven me, nor wants to give me the benefit of the doubt that I have grown up. Your bloody son still believes I am dying to be with him, that he is still my ideal and will continue to harass him, when that is furthest from the truth as to be laughable at this point in my life.” As you can see, I totally hate this storyline, since it reminds me of the horrible Mexican telenovelas of the bad old days, where the FL suffers through all the indignities and abuse that the ML and his family consider their right to dish out to the poor FL. I believe in this day and age, we have grown up from those horrible times, and can accept that women have their pride and dignity, and that no man should be able to treat you as he bloody well pleases, just because he believes you deserve it. This part goes on from episode 6 to episode 12, where I dearly wish that Arthit would jump from a CLIFF and leave Paeng alone, at the very least I would be quite happy if he does not get his happy ending, because let me be clear, HE DOES NOT DESERVE IT!

The third part is, as I mentioned before, where he finally acknowledges his love for Paeng, and now he has an uphill battle to convince her of it, since all he has done before does not help his case at all. I would have enjoyed him suffering more than he does here, but let’s face it, it’s a “romantic-comedy” of course he will get the girl at the end and since he is the ML, with almost zero groveling and making up for his past actions. Here, he just decides he wants her, and he gets her. Although, Paeng does make it a “little” difficult since she does not fully trust him and continues to doubt his intentions, but accepts his 180º change sooner than I would have expected. I concede that when Arthit does realize he loves her, he is deeply in love and quite cute in trying to show it to Paeng, I am totally convinced of his love for her by the end of the tv show, it’s just that his earlier behavior for me was unforgivable, more so since he never does apologize for it. At least, in the end he does concede that his accident wasn’t wholly Paeng’s fault, but that he does share some of the blame as well. This part goes from episode 13 to episode 19, and it is the most watchable of the tv show, since the torture is over and lovey-dovey scenes are here.

Acting/Cast:
The main actors, Mark Prin and Kao Supassara were great in their portrayal of their characters. But of them deserved special mentions, because they portrayed such different emotions.

Mark was simply amazing, you can see him change from being a super nice guy, then to exasperated, then to deep hatred, to starting to fall in love, while being confused and finally to when he is deeply in love. His facial expressions and voice intonations, are perfect, considering I don't know a thing of Thai, it is remarkable the emotions he transmits and makes the audience feel. I respect the character growth he went through and the excellence he demonstrated of his portrayal of an unsympathetic character, who is very easy to hate deeply and who very slowly tries at the end to gain my sympathy. I never understood Arthit, with his unreasonable hatred for Paeng, when he shares a lion's portion of the fault for his accident, and his need to be as degrading as possible to her, to the point where a normal human being would sue him for mistreatment. But that is the point of a good actor and I respect the portrayal, if not the horrible character.

Kao was great in showing a poor 16-year-old, who is suffering and confused, who is looking for that someone who understands her and cares for her, leading to her having her first love, which quickly turns to obsession and brings tragedy to the male lead. I never hated her, because I was acutely aware that she is just a teenager, who has suffered unbelievable loss, and who knows that in the house only Arthit (first 2 episodes), his father and her two maids understood her or at least they tried. She goes through some personal growth that leaves you awed at the pure strength of will required to accomplish it, and boy does she succeed! When she returns to the farm, she is more of a mature adult than anyone there, with the exception of the Arthit's father. The actress is so good, because she managed the transition naturally and made you root for her from beginning to end, unlike some other characters in the show. She is so understanding and has learned her lessons, wanting to atone for the wrongs she committed, being an amazing human being, deserving much more than Arthit at the end, she deserved a prince or someone much more wonderful.

Music:
I loved the music, the three songs I remember were great and had a great message in tune with the story. I still listen to the music, because it is so good, the rhythm and the lyrics were amazing and I loved it.

Rewatch value:
Nearly nonexistent, I couldn't stomach the show since episode 3 up to 13, which is nearly half of the show. Arthit, his mother and his mother's two-house maids, should have been accused in a court of law for serious mistreatment, violence, cruelty and torture of Paeng, since at times it was physical as well as mental. His falling in love so slowly is understandable to the story, but what is not is Paeng staying at the farm, where she is seriously mistreated and accepting it as normal, any other woman would have sued that horrible family. I don't understand how she could be in love with him after all that she suffered at his hands, she should have left the bastard behind as quickly as she could and leave him to be miserable for the rest of his life. Any sympathy I could have felt for Arthit was lost by episode 8, and I was hoping that Paeng would make him suffer more before he gets his happy ending, so I was seriously disappointed with the outcome. I can only stomach to rewatch from episode 13 to 19, and only certain scenes.

A journey of 2 individuals who learn to love and respect each other

This is the drama that had me join MDL :)

A drama that is worth watching for the following reasons (in brief, without spoilers) -

1. A male lead that grows into such a beautiful, gentle, caring and respectful young man
2. A female lead that grows from a scarred, lonely soul who believes in an eye for an eye to a beautiful, loving young woman who learns to be patient and forgiving
3. A very subtle love story where leads fall in love with each other gradually (you won't be able to tell the exact moment when he falls in love with her)
4. Great scenery, and music (the BGM that plays for them in the romantic/sad scenes kills me each time)

The writing for the first 12 episodes or so is absolutely perfect, not saying that the 2nd half isn't great. It is, in terms of the progression of the leads relationship, especially E15 which is absolutely beautiful. I know that many people complain about the lack of romance in this show but what makes this show so romantic for me is the fact that the leads were able to acknowledge their mistakes, forgive each other, move on from the past and start on a clean slate.. like that is so freaking rare in lakorns where leads just move from hate to love without even acknowledging the way they mistreated or direspected each other. I cannot emphasise enough on how much I loved the respect and understanding the leads shared. Their conversations, scenes were so so beautiful. They had such warm, gentle chemistry which is another rarity amongst lakorns.

The villain's arc in the second half drags on, and I wanted more of the leads in the last few episodes, and that's the only reason why I wouldn't give this show the highest rating.

The acting was believable. Everybody did their best. Yes, there were some characters I disliked but none of them were bat shit crazy.

I stopped myself from giving out the story or what really happens because you got to watch it to feel the drama that this was. All in all, its a drama that is totally worth watching!

Overall is bad. Still watch it because of the male & female leads.

(1) Character
The weakest point of this story is the characters, and it isn't just one problematic point in that issue.

1. The design of the female characters that are on the bad side is irrational beyond imagination. They're the kind of plain black in a very unrealistic way.

- The mother of the male lead is the sickest. The foundation of her hatred toward the female lead isn't on the same par with the extreme degree of it. The origin is not solid at all. It's like she's angry with the female lead out of the blue just for the sake of hating. A softer word would be prejudice. And because she's the kind of irrational person who wouldn't be able to snap out of the nonsense by reasoning, her character's built up to be an unforgivable person. So at the end when she starts to talk sense and nicely to the female lead, it's not convincing. No way a person would change in literally 2 days from the way she has always been for years.

- The classmate who is jealous for the male lead always comes into the scene just to scream. Very exaggerated and unrealistic.

- The young servant at the male lead's house that always bullies the female lead just disappears into thin air during the latter part of the drama. She just disappears without a cause, like the director/writer don't know what to do with her anymore so they intentionally forget about her. Considering her characteristic, there should be more chaotic events at some crucial scenes in the story and the mother wouldn't treat the female lead nicely this easy at the end of it.

2. The character development of the female lead is awful and unrealistic. She turns from being a strong teenager who never let anyone bully her one-sidedly into a person who is very submissive in letting other people unfairly taking advantage of her without voicing or protecting herself. It's out of her character. Even if the story wants to show that she's more mature, this isn't maturity. She can be mature without letting other people bully her unnecessarily as it can be avoided. This isn't called character development. This is the 180-degree shifting in character. Like it's a total replacement of a person. Her character is something like starting from being wise to being dumb.

----------------------

(2) Music
The background music is terrible on both the aspects of music choice (maybe starts from the composition) and music editing (when music is edited into the scene or when two pieces of music are placed continuously - those who did this didn't know how to do it at all). The musical style is archaic - no different from those in the Thai dramas from a decade ago. The music here also usually steals the show as most of the pieces don't go along with the mood/atmosphere of the scenes. The sound of music (composition, volume, music transition) is basically bad and unskilled that it obtrudes my perception instead of going naturally as one with the story content. It's like they add each piece of music into the frame just because they want to kill the silence. Their work simply shows that they don't know how music can help portraying the story.

----------------------

(3) Acting
The acting skills of many key actors in this drama are very questionable. Their actings are exaggerated and/or unnatural, including the female lead (she always blinks and bulges the eyes to the point that at times it's obviously pretentious, esp. when looking at her background that she's been a sensibly strong person since young age, it'd be hard to believe that she'd be easily surprised or confused out of naivete incessantly) and the male lead's friends apart from the mother, classmate and servants. The acting of the male lead seems to be the most natural though his character design is also very weird. He is another character that hasn't developed. He's shifted from being a considerate, wholeheartedly caring person, who voluntarily waits in front of the female lead's school out of kindness (he hasn't loved the female lead then, just being a good brother to her) to make sure she doesn't skip the class into a callous, insensitive sadist who throws his fist into other people's face without a proper reason in different occasions as he's jealous over the female lead.

----------------------

(4) Dialogue
The dialogue is pretty much cringey. I mean it's very goosebumply cringey. At least, it's less cringing than My Husband in Law that the male lead also played in earlier this year.

----------------------

In conclusion, the character design and development in this drama are under the bottom and this brings the drama down the hill. The background music is terrible. The acting of many main characters is disappointing. The major plotline is acceptable but can't say it's impressive. To confess, I watch this drama till the end just because the female lead looks cute and the male lead looks good, quite a superficial reason I admit. I watch it with 2x speed and press forward a lot, though.

Thai drama strongly recommended! ❤

I don't normally watch Thai dramas - I've watched Chinese and Korean dramas.
My good friend has recommended me Thai dramas and ever since then I've become addicted to Thai dramas especially the dramas with the actors James Jirayu Tangsrisuk and Mark Prin Suparat.

This is the first drama I've seen with Mark Prin Suparat and third Thai dramas I've watched.

I love Mark Prin ❤

This drama is really interesting, intense and keeping me in suspense when I watched each episodes.

With the main couple, it started with the hate and then it became love.

The FL in the beginning is a bit annoying as she's a spoilt brat but she grew up and changed into a better person where the ML started to notice it and fell in love with her.

FL started investigating the death of her parents - with the help of the ML and his friends.
We learn from this what friends are for and that we should help friends in need.

I would strongly recommend this drama to anyone. As I've mentioned I got hooked on this drama straight away and this is my third Thai drama.
I love Thai dramas now and become quite addicted to it. I will watch it anytime if they have either James or Mark. ❤

NOT YOUR USUAL LAKORN <3

Out of all the lakorns I've watched, none have come close to the emotional rollercoaster that was Kluen Cheewit. However, My Forever Sunshine (MFS) has managed to surpass even that level of emotional investment and chaos in my life, thanks to Mark Prin's captivating performance.

Typically, I'm not a fan of hate-to-love relationships in dramas, finding them somewhat unrealistic. Yet, MFS is an exception. It masterfully navigates the hate-to-love dynamic, presenting it as a journey of two individuals grappling with their emotional scars and baggage. One character, in particular, is the primary cause of the other's emotional damage, setting the stage for a compelling narrative of self-discovery and love. While their road to each other is rife with obstacles and challenges, what sets their journey apart is the mature evolution of their characters along the way. This level of character growth is unprecedented in the lakorns I've seen thus far. Despite being adapted from a novel, MFS possesses its own unique charm.

Certainly, there were aspects of the lakorn that left me wanting, but the overall journey was immensely satisfying and wholesome. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I highly recommend giving it a chance. So, buckle your seatbelts and prepare for an unforgettable ride.

The most awesome lakorn ever.

I don't want to say much but I would like to pinpoint THIS IS THE BEST LAKORN EVER, PERIOD. I know I'm being dramatic AF but cross my heart, this lakorn deserves to WIN THE BEST LAKORN EVER. Mark Prin and Kao Supassara had great chemistry among them. They had done a great job in portraying the character from the novel. Their expression, chemistry, and visuals are on point. This is the first lakorn that had many contributors that support and comment in this section. The comment had reached 10K and trust me, you won't get disappointed. In a nutshell, I FREAKING LOVE THIS DRAMA AND DON'T MIND KEEP RE-WATCHING THEM. I WON'T GET BORED. PLEASE, I WANT MARK PRIN AND KAO SUPASSARA TO ACT AS the MAIN LEAD ON OTHER LAKORN
