"Raeng Pradtanaha" (which means:Heated Desires) is a thai lakhorn from 2013 that shows diversity in the social classes through the hate-love relationship between the sassy diva Krathae "Thae" played by Kimberly Voltemas and the adopted honorable and golden-hearted foster-brother of hers Pittaya "Pitt" played by Nadech Kugimiya.Both Thae and Pitt grew up in the same household and were best friends until Pitt left for University.His distance hurt her feelings which makes her lash out on him every chance she gets.Now she literally does everything to make his life miserable and always reminds him that he is only adopted and if it were for her he woul have been thrown away on the streets.But Pitt never surrendered to her bullying and always defended himself against her bratty behaviour.In this way,both becomes enemies.It only becomes worse when Thae decides to ruin his relationship with his girlfriend Rawee played by Mint Nutwara.Ahhh Thae indeed was a refreshing character after i had to endure so many "nice" heroines throughout many lakhorns.

What i love about Thae and Pitt is that there is so much contrast in their chemistry together.They don`t even have to kiss,the chemistry is THERE all the time.Thae is a strong,determined and vicious heroine from the start but when she understand the depth of her despicable actions towards Pitt..she understands that he is the last person who deserves this.So after their marriage she finally changes into a heroine worthy of Pitts irrevocable devotion.Pitt is born as a illegitimate child which was very painful to watch since EVERYONE always reminded and spurned him for it.Even with the obvious care and love from his adoptive family he still grew up thinking himself unworthy of Thae.I felt so sorry for him when even his biological father rejects his presence in front of everyone and declares what a mistake he is.Nadech did so well in expressing the agony and pain Pitt felt in those awful moments.He never losed control or lashed out...he was that much of a patient character.What i also love about him is the way he never could resist Thae.He denied himself of loving her even to himself so much that he forces himself to love Rawee.Thae once said to Rawee that she have never even seen Pitt laugh with Rawee,while he always laughs in the presence of Thae.

I really recommend watching this lakhorn,it has wonderful tropes in the romance genre like hate-love,marriage of convenience,love-triangle,jealousy,passion and fighting for what you believe in.Nadech and Kimmy did an incredible job in here,both performances was phenomenal and their on-screen chemistry was incredible.I love re-watching this lakhorn once every year!
