He is THAT special man no one can tame

and she is THE special woman who will change him...through the power of love.

If you guys haven`t watched "Sawan Biang", then i have no idea whatever you have been doing all your life. I just finished re-watching it today, and i am just crying of joy all over again! It`s a train-wreck and it never gets boring. Having raw slap-kiss in it the story presents revenge, family,jealousy, forgiveness,redemption..and least of all the power of love.

This is a classic and have been adapted many times, but the version from 2008 starring the legendary nr:1 koo-jin at that time (in this generation NY is the nr:1 koo-jin) Ken Theeradeth and Anne Thongprasom is the most famous and highest rated and had won many awards at that time. Until now no one ever forgets the dynamic performance of Ken, as the selfish and arrogant billionare heir Kawee. Kawee is a hate-ful character who rages a war against the world and his father, who always re-marries women, which Kawee hates.Kawee is so full of himself that he thinks that every woman in the world should consider herself lucky even breathing the same air as him (trust me,he is THAT pompous). In to his world comes the first woman who has ever defied him, the gentle but very stubborn florist Narin (played by Anne). Kawee despises her directly for being "arrogant" enough with her stabbing insults and that she is the younger sister of Leela, the girl who practically stalked him in school years ago. And Narin is disgusted by the brutally and humilating way he rejected Leela in public which caused her also to almost die in a car-accident.It doesn`t get better when Kawee gets furious with a murder-like sense when he gets to know that Leela is going to marry his now widowed father, and on that point the bitter and raging war starts between Kawee and Leela, with Narin being the thread between them.

But we watchers see the spark between Kawee and Narin from the start, its quick but its there, and from then on we will watch the self-important Kawee fall in love (against his will) with the beautiful Narin, seeing the goodness in her heart while he hurls all his terrible hatred of revenge for Leela on Narin is painful, as Anne plays the victim very well in Narin through the heart-breaking tears. There is no male-hero more mean than Kawee in the history of lakhorns.He is can`t be called an Anti-hero, but he is a true Villian himself. He is not only cold-hearted, but he is heart-less and venoumus, nor is he only ruthless, but he is also barbaric. Ken is magnificent in his role as Kawee, the wicked expressions and stance of his and the dynamic way he presents himself...and in the thunderous way he destroys everything around him. He is a character i have called bastard (and ass-hole) so many times i have forgotten it, but he is irresistible with his animalistic male sexuality...and sympathetic with his tortured soul who lacked the love from a father he so desperately needed after his mother died.Trust me, you can`t take your eyes off him, he is THAT charismatic! Anne who always plays the cheerful spoiled heroine in many of her other lakhorns, is a woman whose soul gets battered by Kawee in this lakhorn as Narin. From the start she had a witty and confident character that refused to surrender to Kawee`s cruelty..or passion and love, and neither does she either (which i so admire her for) until the end.!

"Sawan Biang" is a soap-opera that gets you addicted to it.It is never an easy journey with the hate-love romance between Kawee and Narin, but its unforgettable and epic and brings very powerful performances from the whole main-cast.For me it has everything i love in a romance,passionate alpha-hero,mindblowing chemistry,love that starts with revenge,and an incredible love that is so painful,that i as a viewer cried my tears off. It´s heart-breaking and beautiful, and i recommend it to every Lakhorn Lover. The original title means actually "Heaven Diversion", and the cause of it is explained in this text:

"Love happening during revenge

is like heaven diverts his and her paths

to merge with each other."

-Krisna Asokesin (the author of the novel)
