Kroa Ruk (2023)

A lot like Love

In the series, the female lead, Ring Musica, often comes across as impulsive and thoughtless in her actions. She can be quite exasperating at times. Sigh, on the other hand, is known for his hot-blooded nature, adding a different dynamic to their relationship.

At a certain point in the story, Musica's behavior becomes perplexing when she seems to display romantic interest in someone else, despite being married to Singh. This situation creates tension and raises questions about the characters' motivations.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Musica's character development is her fluctuating blindness. After an incident where she saves Singh but inadvertently causes someone else's death, her blindness comes and goes in a manner that's not entirely clear, leaving viewers puzzled.

Gift, the rival's daughter who becomes somewhat of a friend to Musica, is another character whose actions defy logic and common sense. However, she mysteriously disappears from the narrative in the latter episodes, leaving viewers wondering about her fate.

Throughout the series, there is a significant amount of physical affection between the lead couple, including passionate kisses and warm embraces. This may suggest a growing romantic relationship, but the circumstances surrounding their relationship development could be more elaborated upon.

The series is well-received for its engaging storyline and the palpable chemistry between the lead actors. James Ma's performance adds to the appeal. However, it's not without its flaws, as certain plot points, such as the disabled and previously non-verbal grandfather's sudden ability to speak with difficulty, and his refusal to acknowledge his illegitimate son, remain unexplained.

Notably, Jab Penpetch, who played Singh's father, also appeared as James Ji's father in "To the Moon and Back," adding a familiar face for fans of Thai dramas.

The series begins with a marriage of convenience between Musica and Singh, with Singh initially lacking romantic feelings for her. However, over time, their relationship evolves, with Singh eventually falling in love with Musica. The transition might seem abrupt or unclear due to the fast-paced nature of lakorn storytelling.

In the end, the series concludes on a positive note, with the couple forming a true family unit. Their child inherits Musica's unique supernatural gift, which she had lost at some point but now finds a new home within their family, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the story's resolution.

Very addictive series with a good mix of Romance and Action.

CAUTION: No more English subs from episode 14 :(

The FL, an orphan adopted into a wealthy clan because she has visions of danger, becomes the "in-name only" wife of the group's heir, the ML (she must remain a virgin to retain her power... LOL). She will help him escape those who want to kill him (cousin, neglected branch of the clan, business competitors, etc.)

+++ An excellent CL, with great chemistry (James Ma & Pie)
+++ Good supporting actors, especially the Great Villain, who is as crazy as can be
+++ Direction and OSTs conform to Lakorn standards, but a really good framing work

### CL2 rather Meh...)
### Worn cliché (intended to spice up the CL's relationship :) of the gift that is linked to virginity. STOP all that nonsens please.
### Lots of violence, fights, Killings, even if the police are relatively effective here.

=> Good series, thanks to the CL's talent, but some lenghts (and I'm waiting for the full eng subs :(

CAUTION!! plus de eng subs à partir de l'ép 14 :(

Très addictif avec un bon mix Rom-Act°.

La FL, orpheline adoptée dans un riche clan parce qu'elle a des visions des dangers, devient la femme "en nom" de l'héritier du gpe, le ML (elle doit rester vierge pour conserver son pouvoir... LOL). Elle va l'aider à échapper à ceux qui veulent le tuer (cousin, branche délaissée, concurrents business, etc.)

+++ Un excellent CL, avec une belle alchimie (James Ma & Pie)
+++ Bons acteurs de soutien, notamment le Great Villain, cinglé à souhait
+++ Réalis° et OSTs conformes aux standards des lakorns, mais beau travail de cadrage

### CL2 plutôt Meh...)
### Cliché usé (destiné à mettre du piquant dans la relation du CL :) du don qui est lié à la virginité
### Bcp violence, fights, tueries, mm si policiers relativement efficaces

=> Bonne série, grâce au talent du CL, mais un peu lent par moments (et en attente des eng subs :(
