Everyone is excited about the new love story's FL... not me! I think this girl is delusional. He doesn't even like her and she doesn't even know on which level of his wall she is.
I found this lakorn very weird. Thai actors playing old time Chinese warriors and wearing historical Chinese clothes…
The more you watch Thai lakorn, the more you find them have cross-cultural settings or even fully different cultures either real or fictitious. I have watched some of them with different cultures (there are still more I know of but I don't watch): Roy Fun Tawan Duerd - Japanese setting, ALL characters are Japanese. In its prequel Roy Ruk Hak Liam Tawan, only FL is Thai the rest are Japanese. Dung Duang Haruetai - adapted 3x from a novel. Although the names are Indian/Sanskrit names, the costumes are European with a wintry setting. The Crown Princess - the FL is a princess from a fictitious European country. The Curse of Saree - the setting is a small fictitious country in East Asia/India, the ML and SML are princes from that country. Thara Himalai - part of the setting is a fictitious country in Himalaya, the ML is a prince from the country.
Still, every foreign character speaks Thai even when they're in their native settings, lol. Lakorns are produced mainly for local entertainment, not foreign markets. For Thai people, these dramas are just pure entertainment, they don't care about geographical/cultural differences even if the settings are illogical/inaccurate, especially for watchers from the foreign countries represented.
So I'm not surprised if they made a Thai lakorn with a Chinese setting, and the Chinese characters speak Thai, lol.
I'm watching on dramacool but waiting for the subs even though they're not great.
AFAIK MangoTV Monsoon on YouTube has the better and in-sync translation (non-machine). But they're so slow, I just peeked only subbed until Ep 11. I don't have patience for that, lol.
🤦🤦🤦 From the beginning I should have trusted Park Kang Hyun, the singer of "Vampire", this drama's OST when he started the song with: "I'm a vampire, such a liar"... This drama is such a liar indeed!
Especially since he's bad at playing Minesweeper 😉😉😉

Everyone who watched her trilogy dramas knows what I'm talking about 😉😉😉
