Horrible yet Guilty Pleasure:)
This lakorn, english titled 'Bride For Money', was the 2nd lakorn I've ever watched:)
Though it can never measure up to the 1st one (which remains the number one not only due to watching order) I enjoyed this - guiltily, as it's absolute trash - mainly for the main guy (I liked him back then) and many real-kiss scenes (I then wished for even more of them, but later I watched hundreds of more lakorns and learned how raaare those were).
What I was astonished with - as this was my very early meeting with thai (popular) culture - was the number of violent fights (even among seemingly distinguished adults), the need to sit directly on the floor when you are subordinate, and the soundtrack. Which wasn't original soundtrack even, but some low quality excerpts from Bourne, I think (I don't know how the thai deal with copyrights) + 1 thai song. Over and over. I can't consider this "music" so I give lowest score. But let's not focus on that:D
Despite all its flaws and total trashiness the ROMANCE LINE was done well and had a good progress, climax and ending and the interactions between main couple were enjoyable from start to finish. There was enough chemistry and humour between the two I MUST rate this high: because it is what is most important in a lakorn. And I have learned later (after watching more than 400 of them), that sadly, even just this is not achieved by most of the other lakorns......
