1st installment of 'Suparburoot Jutathep'...

...but I watched it last:) Well, as I've seen all the parts of 'Suparburoot Jutathep' separately, there was no real need for me to keep the watching order. I've seen 'Khun Chai Pawornruj' first and practically slept through with boredom. And that's the one with Pope Thanawat(!), who not only looks the oldest of the brothers (it was a bit confusing that in the story he was not), he's like the dullest thing in here. That wasn't promising. When I watched 'Khun Chai Rachanon', it was the same, only worse (way more stupid and annoying to watch). So, you can imagine that 'Khun Chai Puttipat' being completely average was actually quite an improvement. I had to wait till 'Khun Chai Ronapi' to see sparks of something worth watching... Oh wait, I forgot I haven't watched the 1st part. So, 'Khun Chai Taraton', here we go.

Ugh... What to say. The lead couple actually share a brotherly-sisterly bond, they know each other since childhood. Kinda tricky to turn that into love without looking too incestey, but that's not even the main problem of this show. Never mind the "antiques site" where the whole location consists of exactly 1 spot (they always arrive to "another" temple, resulting of them standing precisely in front of the same place as before) I know it's low budget. Never mind the "logical" story, yet again (so we're like the guardian figure, so we bring two girls we care about into highly risky situations?) It's the cross-dressing. I just find it just as far-fetched and idiotic as any supernatural with cgi ghosts grinning there at the characters.

Yet... I enjoyed watching Deaw Suriyon in this one. So cute:)) It was annoying he was not able to see Kong is a girl (which clearly he COULD see) but he was just adorable in this. What was also funny was to see Pream Ranida had more acting talent already than her co-lead, 11 year older (so, they were supposed to play along as kids, yeah?) veteran Grate Warinton. I was impatient skipping all the ballast featuring bleached-blonde Oliver Pupart (not only unwatchable by looks, but also acting "skills") alongside equally ridiculous-looking and just unsufferable James Kitkasem, to get to the bit where the truth will finally be revealed. It dragged so much!:)

So now, I've seen the stories of all 5 brothers. Sincerely, I don't get the idea of 5 actors that are physically so different types playing brothers, they're not very convincing...:) Also I had to keep thinking of their mother. Poor woman!:) Having 5 kids so close of age. Whenever they stand there all 5 of them it looks so ridiculous. Not only that, there is the unbreakable promise that at least 1 of them marries a girl from certain family. If each of them prefers to marry someone else but there are still other brothers left, only with the last brother this story starts to be interesting.

In the end, the thing that is absolute best about the whole 'Suparburoot Jutathep' project is the song "Lom Hai Jai Tao Nun Tee Roo” by Be Peerapat. You see, there is a quality to be found in anything:)
