Love and Fortune (2021)

I'm bacckkkkkk with another review yalls. SPOILERS soooooooooo idk read if you want. ?
TW// Stillbirth




Story:
The story starts off with the father going on a trip and the first and second wife being pregnant and the third wife (yes, three wives yalls, three wives) being jealous cause she cannot conceive. Lady Gularb, the first wife is high status from the elites, the second wife, Manee is a servant but the one that Chaiphong, the dad loves the most, and the third wife is also a servant that LG took in, and obviously we need that protagonist which is the third wife. Anyways, LG & Manee ends up giving birth on the same night, LG gave birth to twin boys and Manee gave birth to a stillborn baby boy. Manee's brother Mana finds out that LG gave birth to twins, he decides to switch one of the twins with the stillborn baby. As I was saying the third wife, Euang is jealous and greedy as she cannot conceive and she wants all the inheritance, so she planned to killed the babies the same night they were born. She diverts all the attentions to a fire in the library room and sneak into Manee's room and tried to kill the baby but she ends up killing Manee and as she was going to kill the baby, Mana came in and saw what happened and grabbed the boy. Euang realising that if Mana escapes he is going to tell the truth to CP and so she quickly comes up with a new a plan by throwing, (tbh i dont know what it is but i guess its like some herbal medicines that smells like alcohol? lmao idk, dont come at me) anyways, she throws the jug of medicine at mana and he blocked it by turning his back and and i broke and all the liquid splashed onto his back. Confused, he wasnt sure what was happening, Euang runs out the door and straight into CP and tells him that Mana killed Manee and she tried to help Manee but she couldn't. Mana, knows that not matter what he said, CP wasn't going to believe him so he ran away with the baby and hid near the port as he was going to take a boat to Ayutthaya. Mana manages to get onto a boat where he meets a lady called Mali (omgg, all these M names lmao) and she offered to help feed the baby with her own breastmilk as she had given birth not too long ago. Mana's boat got caught in wild weather and capsized; injuring himself on the head he fell unconscious. The next morning Mali woke up on the bank to the sound of crying where he finds the baby but Mana was no where to be found, so she took him in and cared for him as her own. Chok grew up nice, caring, living off the shrimps he catches in the river and the sticky rice that his mum Mali makes. On the other hand, Chaiphat grew up privileged, very spoilt, especially by Euang as she has plans on using Chaiphat. Slowly, Chok finds out that his real birth parents was not Mali and Chon, who was Mali's husband. Each time Chok asks Mali, she will always say it is not the time for him to know yet. One day, Jerd a bully in Chok's villiage, went to his house and planned to kill Chok (they had previous beef) but instead he accidentally kills Mali. Chok arrives fight fight fight and then held Mali in his arms, that's when Mali told Chok the truth, that his dad's real name is Mana and that the necklace she's been hiding was with him ever since she took him in. After the funeral of Mali, curious Chok embarks on a journey back to Pra Nakhon to find his real father. I forgot to mention lmao, that Chaiphong ends up going to Ayutthaya for merits and actually met Chok, but obviously they dont know they are father son. They continued to meet each other in Pra Nakhon and at Wasee, the FL house as she is the fiance of Chaiphat; Chok ends up working at Wasee's place as a gardener, where he also meets Pim a girl from his villiage as well. Sooooo, can yalls start to see where this is going towards, hahahaha basically Pim wanna marry the rich handsome Chaiphat, and Chok falls in love with Wasee. Pim and Chaiphat ends up seeing each other behind Wasee's back and one day Wasee finally revealed the truth that she is not going to go forward with the engagement as Chaiphat is see her servant Pim. The dad acknowledging the situation he calls of the engagement. Chaiphat ends up claiming that Pim is his wife, and that he is going to marry her.

I think I'm up to the point where I reallly CBF writing the spoilers now and trying to condense as much as I can. But basically Uncle Mana didn't die but he lost his memories & he has his own journey on trying to remember what happened. Chok ends up losing the necklace soooo he couldn't really continue searching, but by this point everyone he knows, knows he is there to look for his dad. Euang, one day saw a scar on Chok's arm that looked similar to the one she cut on the baby before he was taken away by Mana, So she starts to investigate and if it is she was going to kill him. As it got closer to the truth coming out, Chaiphat yes the son ends up finding out the truth first that Chok is his long lost brother. Uncle Mana ends up getting stab by Jerd and told Chaiphong that he believes Chok could be the missing son he has been looking for. Excited he returned home to look for the identical necklace and he was going to show Chok. Euang, not wanting him to know ends up pushing the dad down the stairs, he becomes paralysed and cannot talk. I know typical thai lakorn haha. Chok ends up becoming a fugitive, on the run from the police. At this point everyone kind of realises that Chok is the son, Mana finally regains his memories and one night sneaked into Chaiphong & LG's room and told them the truth that Chok is the son. Everyone realise that Euang is actually the bad one, she killed Manee and tried to kill a bunch of people and so they caught her and locked her in a shed but omg I cant even, Chan the servant of Euang helped her escape. They don't escape far and ends up staying at a Dr's place that they are acquainted with. Jerd comes back tries to kill Euang but ends up kill the Dr and Chan, and splashed acid onto Euang's face and then idk she went crazy. Everyone is happy they get marry, Euang gatecrash the ceremony and she ends up dying by getting burnt. THE END.

I know, i know. it got really rushed at the end because as i was writing i started to get annoyed at the lakorn altogether. So that's why i just rushed the ending bit. But to be very honest, it was going good at the beginning, but then I think it got super slow because its like, they're going to find out the truth but then they want it to be a long lakorn so they be doing us dirty and drag it on, which I think it was very unnecessary. But if you were like me have nothing to watch then yeah give it a go and let me know how yalls be felling, because I started watching this after my friend told me at work and i was like meh why not. But now im thinking why did I?

Anyways, it's on youtube fully subbed. See yalls at my next review, for now, ima yeet. byee.

Poor

To he honest, this drama was painful to watch but not because it was too emotional or anything…
the story was ok, nothing new (rich vs poor etc) but the acting was pretty poor and even Toy couldn’t save it.
To me, Everything was so cliche and predictable.
I understand that this is a lakorn so stories like that full of coincidences and plot holes are very common but I still can’t get over the bad acting.

Watch it if you have nothing better to do otherwise I don’t think it worth your time!
I watched it mainly because of Toy after seeing him in « A Love proposal » and He didn’t disappoint.
