Ngao Ruk Luang Jai (2010)

I do not expect much to this lakorn since it has typical story but somehow I end up liking its simplicity.

My review/pointers as follows: may cointain some minimal spoilers

The characters:
For the record, I am team Nadech. His character is sweet, kind, understanding, helpful and a true gentleman. He was like every woman's dream, a prince charming. No wonder that Min's character trust and choose him to love despite developing some feelings with the other man.

Meanwhile, Mark character is cold, arrogant, prideful & possesive. A typical beast that you will hate. He had a lot of issues in his life which is the main reasons why he act like that.

Mint as the FL is almost like Nadech's character female version.

The acting:
Both Nadech & Mark deliver great acting in potraying love for the FL. Meanwhile, Min is stiff. She had the same reaction in being happy, lonely/sad & angry with minimal changes in facial expression. Perhaps she was new in acting that time. Still, I do like this actress since I saw her other works mostly as nang'rai.

The story:
It is indeed a drama. The story is my main reason why I like this lakorn (aside from Nadech/Mint/Mark). It focus on the three main characters issues with love. Ratree, the nang rai is also very convinsing as an evil lady capable of killing to get what she want. Perhaps the only thing lacking is romance between the couple who will end up together.

While watching this lakorn, Im pretty sure I want Mint to end up with Nadech. However, as the story progress Mark's character shifted and he gain my sympathy. I want him to be loved & be happy. Thats my dilemma until I see the ending. which for me is acceptable, but still painful.


Do I recommend it: Definitely... only to those who like a "arrogant" ML, "weak" FL, a "nice" supporting ML, a "crazy" supporting FL & a story which is so simple that you can forget easily... LOL

Will I rewatch it: No, since it will not "excite" me to watch it all over again.
My rating: 8/10
