"Wayla Kammathep” which also can be called “ The Love Proposal” is a incredibly thrilling, romantic, sexy and angsty drama from 2022 starring Fern Nopjira as the hardworking and golden-hearted heroine Treenuch Thaweewong “Nuch” and then we have Tre Porapat portraying the very clever, passionate and badass hero Time Metheephatthana. I love lakhorns that are written and developed in a right way without adding any unnecessary scenes. This lakhorn is right up the alley with dramatic lakhorns like "Hua Jai Sila", "Bad Romeo" and "Fah Mee Tawan" where it comes to intensity of the plot and the characters. "The Love Proposal" has the recurring concept of Time in every episode where we can see Time Glassess in many scenes where Time is running out for the characters. Nuch & Time are our beloved main-leads and their love-story starts at a moment where time was not nice to either of them. While Time needed more time to establish a romantic relationship with Nuch (because of his failure in the past) Nuch could not afford to give him that time.
So she breaks up with him and accepts her parents proposal in her marrying a wealthy man who needs a heir. She never imagined that man would be Time`s older brother, Touch Metheephatthana portrayed by Toy Pathompong who is a much more gentle and calm person in comparison to Time`s stubborn fire. Time is heartbroken over the news and silently suffers while he watches his brother marry the love of his life. We also have family intrigue in the form of a jealous cousin who will do everything to steal the role of the CEO from Touch.
So many things happens and it is so well blended together. The actress portraying Nuch is a fine looking woman, love her acting and how versatile she actually is. I could see how torn she was and conflicted and the way she truly comes to care for her husband. Touch in my opinion was a very tragic character somehow. Having this duty in producing a heir and being unable to because of his sexuality. He tries to stay strong throughout the story and i give him credit for that. Time is one of the best main heroes ever in Lakhornland! He is very impulsive, hot-headed and oh soooo smokily charming but is the guy who get all the dirty jobs done already from the start when he jumps into the fire to save that kid.
He is so badass and has this warrior vibe to him. He protects his family with all his soul- and he is as passionate when it comes to love. Being unable to walk away from Nuch even when she married his brother and still also unable to stay away from her. He kept throwing his misery and fury at her, feeding his love-sick heart. I just LOVE his chemistry with Nuch and how he would not let anyone insult her! Time and Nuch reaches a point where they are unable to live without each other. The passion, the longing and the selfless lover they got for each other, ahhh it made my heart weak! This lakhorn is AMAZING! And i recommend it to anyone who wants a romantic,sometimes crazy..but well done trainwreck!

Every character, scene and dialuge was carefully executed. I am blown away. I am so sad this drama have come to a end. I have followed its run for months now and it has been such a intense and fun journey. I love this tale so much i have no idea what to do with my life now. I mean, F4 Thailand has done something so special with this old tale. I am awed and i am in love and i am heartbroken by the beauty in this tale.
Tu Tontawan portrays our heroine, Gorya (her name means "weed") who tries to survive all the obstacles that come her way. We see her trying to mentally cope with the bullying that has been going on in the Elite School and the minute she gets a new friend trouble comes her way in the form of the notorious and very elite group F4- and she fight back against the F4 leader who is Thyme Paramantra...never thinking she would steal his heart in return.
Bright Vachirawit portrays the very iconic character who is the leader of F4, Thyme Paramantra. His flower represents his self which is the Black Rose which makes him the cursed King. To gain absolute power and control of his Kingdom (in this case the school) he sends a red card to whoever stands against F4 and lets the whole school bully and harass that victim however they want. Gorya is the first girl he ever gives a red card to and becomes evidently frustrated when she refuses to give in to him. She however tosses his world upside down when she kicks him (The Footprint of a Meteor) and gives him the sense of regret and disgust over what his bullying system has done to the school. He also falls madly in love with Gorya and in his journey of wooing her he along with her overcome obstacles that come within their class differences.
Dew Jirawat portrayed the free-spirited Ren Aira who is the first person to help Gorya when she got bullied by Thyme`s minions. His flower is the White Cutter which symbolizes charm and innocence. He is also Gorya`s first love and they come to have a strong bond with each other. Ren will always be there to help Gorya whenever Thyme is unable to. He is her Black and White Knight, he will be whatever she needs him to be.
Win Metawin portrays the biggest womanizer in F4, which is Kavin who uses a mask that hides his cold eyes. He is a skilled manipulator and uses charm and seduction to get what he wants. He finds his love-interest in Gorya`s friend Kaning. His flower is the Hydrangea that symbolizes grace, beauty and heartlessness. I love his song "Silhuette" so much!
Then we have Nani Hirunkit who portrays the heart of F4, which is MJ. He is the heir to a Mafia Empire but still stands the most steadfast, caring and wise amongst the F4. He loves his friends and he will do anything for the group to never separate. They mean the world to him. I love his energy and vibe of danger that he usually hides. His flower is Iris which symbolizes wisdom and bravery.
Gorya and Thyme as a couple is everything to me. The actors portraying them nailed everything! They made me fall in love even more. Their love-story is the central part in this show. I just love how they grow up through their challenges and how they become better. The chemistry is OFF THE SCREEN AMAZING! The way Thyme looks at Gorya absolutely made my stomach go crazy! So many bittersweet and beautiful moments with them! Aghhh, i feel like crying again!

Papol played by Boom is a rich guy who have lived with trying to win the affection of his father,but only got rejection and neglect.In his mind the new wife of his fathers is a intruder to the perfect happy family he always dreamed of,and therefore he hates her with all his being and looks down on where she came from.So in this story he meets the very passionate Pantawan and gets drawn to her bright nature while also despising the attraction he feels for her.Pantawan is a hardworking young woman who has to sing and dance in nightclubs to get great pay for her foster mothers gambling debts.She despise Papol on sight for his cruel behaviour and injustice view of her life.But Papol never expected her to be the mysterious owner of the beautiful voice he wants to represent to his new music company-and both find themselves working together.Both characters shares the pain of feeling abandoned,and finds themselves falling in love.Papol did everything for Pantawan to love him when she didn`t love him.It was a courtship and chase i loved to watch.But after their marriage in ep 10 a despicable twist happens,and i literally wanted to claw his eyes out.Papol is a main-hero who have a heart he doesn`t understand,eyes in which he does not see and ears in which he don´t hear.But you find yourself cry your heart out,getting angry so hard you want to hurl your computer across the room...but sigh for what the power of love can accomplish.Papol and Pantawan are characters that only can fall in love once,but its a kind of love that stays for always.
I found myself having second lead syndrome for Non played by Great Sapol,he had such a great character and was the greatest friend Pantawan could have had.Loved how he stood up for her!The younger sister Pat is a character i can`t stand.I still haven`t forgiven her for what she did to Pan early in the story because of her unlogical jealousy.I couldn`t relate to Pantawan`s real mother,she did so many things i found so unloyal and humiliating,i never cared about any of her "pain" or "regrets".I absolutely love the first 10 episodes..they were exciting,cute,sexy and romantic in so many ways..but it just kinda fell down from there for me.I do hope Boom and Pimmy co-star again,since their chemistry is truly exceptional and shattering,loved how they could look deep into each other eyes.!

But Cupid and the forces of destiny have other, more magical plans in store for our heartbroken hero. We see him running away from Pla in one of the flashbacks in ep 1, while hiding he angrily watches Pla from afar, with a statue of Cupid right near him with his raised bow. Ultimately...the deep fixation Tai has for Pla-and in his anger of her...steams of desire will grow until he do force and blackmail her into marrying him. Love bloomed without neither of them really expecting in their course of fighting each other. Pla gives him the kiss that awakens him from his cloud of hatred and vengeance. It is such a intense but highly entertaining journey. They are lovers to be tested in this long sweet journey, but as Cupid wills it, "love conquers all".
Romance in "Love and Deception" really worked out for me because Pla and Tai were both interesting characters and together they fired up the screen. Their relationship developement was done and built very well.All props to the actors Chippy and Puen as well, its my first time watching them on-screen and they gave delightful performances. I totally loved the child-actor playing Tan as well, so cute! What i had most problem with this lakhorn was actually the editing. It was good sometimes, but very bad in some other cases which was very obvious in the start and end of this lakhorn.

Star-crossed lovers that made my heart bleed...
"Till the End of the Moon" is the best chinese drama i have ever seen. I am flabbergasted, i am sad, i am shocked...all emotions all at once and that does not often happen to me when watching a drama. I feel like there are no words enough expressing my deep affection for this story, its a marvelous epic fantasy war drama that consists of 40 episodes that kept me glued to the screen. All of the realms, all of the magical events and the songs kept my heart singing and all of the characters that rocked their part of the story, wether good and bad. I love it, i love all of it. Wow!!!Tantai Jin, oh my my what a character. He is so deep and so complex!! One of the best written characters i have ever seen on-screen. Born for destruction and destined for the same. He was doomed before he even was born. He hated the world and he hated his miserable existence. There was no drop of goodness lent to him. Sheer will and selfishness made him live on, and sheer cunningness made him survive. His transformation from a abused hostage to a powerful King....i just find it so amazing! All of it!!But in mids of all that he meets Li Susu in the form of his wife Ye Xihu...finding her sudden change of behaviour strange and even more that she is willing to protect and die for him. He never even knew how starved of affection he was before she started to show that to him. He was sedcued and tempted by her goodness and light. Fascinated by her stubborness and fearlessness. Alive only when he was near her, he fell completely and irrevocably in love with her. How much i cried with him, he made my heart bleed with his torture. The actor did a remarkable job, making this character alive in its perfection. His stunning beauty and his deep longing eyes. Wow...just wow. His beloved heroine Li Susu feels like a dear friend of mine, her mission costing almost her life...and she was still so insistent in making it succeed. Her pain was my pain as well. She desperately wished she could stay by Tantai Jin`s side and be the light in his darkness...alas fate. The fate of star-crossed lovers. It was always them, it was always about them...they were the End of the Moon.

Revenge, seduction, forbidden love is a mix in between over the whole path in the story. Its a wonderful sight to watch Tik and Anne interact, opening the longing and pain inside the characters of Khem and Wadee. Fate did bring them together, and both of them did unknowingly choose to follow it. Many will also fan-girl over the secondary romance between Kong and Rita, their friend-to-lovers story line are so utterly adorable! Many will despise Khem`s personality (i even succeded in hating him more than i ever hated Kawee or Kongpop) as he is not the young carefree innocent man he once was in college. He is soothing hatred and does many selfish actions just for the satisfaction of it, and even seduces and tricks Wadee for revenge. But damn does he also grovel blood,hehehe! The director who brought us "Buang Hong","Tarm Ruk Keun Jai" and "Raeng Pradtanaha" and the producer who brought us "Kluen Cheewit"," Sawan Biang" and "Sood Snaeha" have both collaborated to create this lakhorn in which a important flower symbolize eternal love between Khem and Wadee, which is "Forget me Not".

The noble hero Panin Nirapai is portrayed by Jes Jespipat who did well with the script he was given. He portrayed the Panin character as his own and was more serious,less cynical and less emotional, more in control of his emotions than Chakrit`s portrayal of Panin in the original version. It didn`t make me like him less and made him more relatable. He has the pressure of caring for his younger sensitive brother and taking on the burdens from his father to make their family company bigger and really tries to avoid the idea of getting married to a woman he does not love, which is also something his father forces upon him.
But as all heroes do in LakhornLand he meet the love of his life Arisara on a fateful day running from thieves on the beach and accidentally ruins the sand castle she has built for herself to paint. Arisara saves him and spending the night together near the sea creates a bond...in which their love began somwehere and it will be a tie between them until their last breath. They will face many horrible obstacles to finally end up together. It is beautiful, painful, dramatic and intense. I love their journey.
Esther Supreeleela portrayed the lovely and headstrong Arisara Chunhagon and totally ruled this character who got a character development of her own that wasn`t quite there in the original version. She is a victim in all this mess. But she dearly comes to love the fruit from her and Panin`s love: a son Pete who she is forced to leave because of Panin`s cruel father. Panin is saddened yet again, thinking Arisara left her son. But alas...fate have plans for them.

By the way,i also plan to watch the 2008 version of "Ngao Asoke" starring Pong and Peung and will probably skip the 2016 version starring Sean and Eshter,not many people enjoyed it as much.
Ekarat Sarasuk plays as the good-natured and noble rich heir Monthai who thinks that his heroine the gentle angel-alike beauty Beechat (played by Ae Isariya Saisanan) is a gold-digging impostor of his girlfriends who he haven`t seen for 8 years since his depart to Australia.What he doesn`t know is that Beechat is the real woman who wrote him all the letters of love over all these years.Even not knowing this...he still can`t resist his heart that pulls him towards her.

There was to my relief not many side-characters to the story,and it unfolds in a fast pace that i liked.The directing,writing and acting are well done,especially when it came to the main-characters.This is a trainwrecky thai lakhorn,so expect lots of screaming,fights,love-triangles,slap-kiss, misunderstandings and evilness to the whole plot,and the greatest warning is that there is a scene where the hero rapes the heroine,hence he earns her bitterness throughout the story.His greatest mistake was that he raped her full well knowing that his younger brother Pinyoh also loves her.
I have only ever seen Bee Namthip in a Evil Nang Rai role opposite Kim and James Ji in "Buang Hong",so it came as a surprise seeing her in a victimized Nangek role in this lakhorn.Her portrayal of Arisaara Chunhagon made a spectacular character that showed the gentleness and caring,a poor young woman full of life and innocence.She is loved by many men because of her beauty and goodness,especially her male best-friend Pinyoh.But she meets her match in his older,mature brother Panin.Her savior and kindred spirit who hurt her,and she unknowingly also hurt him.Their bond will only grow stronger with time,despite the bitter hatred between them ,Panin and Arisaraa never could stop loving each other.
I have never seen Chakrit Yamnarm on-screen before this lakhorn,and i could understand why so many viewers loves him as an actor while watching him portray the wordly sophisticated heir Panin Nirapai. Chakrit oozed charisma and sexiness through Panin,with his wild "Heathcliff" looks,he simply stopped my heart with just one smile! Panin is a character that loves his family deeply despite their faults. Seeing the generosity from Arisaraa,it comes as a shocking surprise to him that there exist such goodness in this world,as he had been side-tracked to many times in his cynical world of money and power. He falls in love with his Arisaraa, and gets heartbroken when he realizes his beloved brother also love her. There is a savagery inside him that only Arisaraa can release, and only she can stumble him apart through pieces.Chakrit does well in expressing the longing and possessiveness Panin has for Arisaraa, the link between them are in their child,Pete. (That reminds me little of "Autumn`s Concerto") and i just love the angst and intensity between Panin and Arisaraa in the scenes between them. Their eyes says so much their mouths don`t dare to say.
I also wish Chakrit and Bee had another lakhorn together,because every scene with them are filled with electric chemistry!I want more more more with them!And i want to watch more lakhorns starring Chakrit too,he is not only handsome but a damn GREAT OF A HELL actor too!

I love the scenery in this lakhorn, the nature and the animals and the buildings. All of it were beautiful. To top it all the main-leads are beautiful as well. Everytime Thewarat glanced at Chompoo, even in anger...goosebumps would attack me all over again. He was so drawn to her and he fell so hard for her. Even Chompoo wondered when their love started. According to me, it started when they were kids, thinking they were biological siblings. Not only were they playmates, but both cared for each other in a more mature level than most children usually do. Don`t get me wrong, their love was innocent, but it was there and it was destined to only bloom into the love a man and woman have for each other when they become adults. Exactly as it happened to Chompoo & Thewarat when they reunited. Chompoo doesn`t know this handsome caring brother of hers anymore when they meet again, he has turned into a stranger talking in only the ways of money. He is hateful, arrogant and such a snob he makes her want to slap him hard in the face. Which she also does later on,lol. But she also doesn`t realize how broken his soul actually is, how madness is there lingering in his mind, eating at his heart. Living with a guardian that has made his life a living hell ever since he lost Chompoo and their father. That guardian is the main villian Pitak, portrayed by the iconic actor Captain Phutanate who by the way also portrayed Thewarat in the 2001 version of "Fah Pieng Din".
Since the story is set in 60s and yearly 70s in Thailand, this was a very brutal and barbaric times. So expect lots of violence in this story. It is quite cruel in what Chompoo & Thewarat goes through in this story. Your heart breaks for them since both are victims of such terrible deceits in this story. Thewarat`s breakdown was to be expected, Film managed to portray and give a heart to this complex character. I just could not help but love him, he tried so hard to sustain his goodness. He tried to make up for the bad stuff he did by hurting himself, he made me cry in his utter pain and loneliness and helplessness of his empty life. Only Chompoo could give him happiness and solace to his soul. He never expected it, he did not want it. But he did embrace it with a brave mind.I love how he stood his ground and fought hard to win Chompoo`s love and trust. Even when he did come to the realization that Sarika is Chompoo (and he thinks they are biological siblings) he still could not leave her as a brother or lover. His heartbreak when he came to the realization that Sarika is Chompoo made me cry rivers.
Prang is a actress i have come to truly love in all the lakhorns i have seen her in supporting roles ("Sai Lub Ruk Puan" and "Love Destiny") and i always wanted her to have a awesome lead role. Finally got it here. She looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL as Chompoo/ Sarika and gave a incredible performance in highlighting the classiness of the character mixed with a badass confident attitude in where she mouthed facts to EVERYONE who wanted to cross her, especially our leading male Thewarat,LOL. Ahhh, how she infuriated him in the early episodes. I loved it. Also what a stunning picture she made when she played the violin in that white/pink dress,just wow. Not surprised at all that Thewarat could not stop stare at her, or with him even announcing that they are getting engaged in front of the whole audience. Just awesome, i love it. I love this lakhorn, do not regret watching it at all!

"Behind the Revenge" (which also has the title "Fai Luang") uses the havoc of fire to actually describe in the type of mess its plot is in for. Its remade from the original version that aired in 1998 that got very popular back then, this new version has changed a lot of important details and dynamics of the plot. Both versions however starts the same way. Our tenderhearted and selfless heroine Yodthian (starring Pimmy Pimrapa) enters the funeral of the one man she always has felt gratitude towards...knowing she will cause eruption from his family members. The reason being she is the younger sister of the man`s mistress that is hated by his wife and children. One person that gets specially furious is his son, the formidable heir Noppharuj (starring Son Yuke) and he throws her flowers to the ground and burns them to ashes...the moment is symbolic. Its that moment the vengeance starts with the storm and Noppahruj don`t back down to the end.
Who else was madly excited when the trailer released??!!! I was! I totally fell for the original version with Willie & Tao and was soooo excited when the new version would star Son & Pimmy in those roles since they are absolutely terrific actors. After its airing i got kinda dissappointed by the negative feedback it has got here on MDL, but i decided to give it a shot since i love the original story so much. We do get some romantic scenes in the new version, but the passion between the main-leads flared like instant fire whenever they were in the same room in the original version.
The character of Phonwalai (starring Bee Namthip) was the driving force of this plot. She is the Anti-heroine who craves revenge and does anything to step up the climber to get what she wants. She is extremely selfish, manipulative and ruthless when she needs to be. But she is also a bruised soul. So lonely and anxious in her sadness and grief and trauma. Not even her younger sister is able to help her. She does however stumble upon several rocks as soon as her weakness appears before her and gives way more attention to her sister than she liked. Nitan is such a charismatic villain. He is the joker and holds all the cards from the start. Nitan & Walai are like two stumbling rocks, one minute allies and the other enemies. One of the most toxic relationships i ever have seen on-screen must be between them, how they hated each other and how the other always got a upper hand. Wow, they made the episodes so exciting.
I may be generous with my rating, but the fact is that i actually binge watched this lakhorn in three days and immensely enjoyed the ride. It was a melodramatic thriller with a central love-story to the core, but absolutely fascinating with its business politics, actions of revenge and betrayals and the dysfunctional relationships that came through. I loved the way the story developed however dramatic to the events that changed everything. I never got bored with this drama.

I love the opening song sung by Daniel Padilla and how the whole cast dance together,adds much charm and humor to the series.I loved and enjoyed all 13 episodes and find myself so lucky that i found the english subtitles for it. Charm,humor,romance and tears! This Digi Movie series offers it all. Kathryn looks so stunning with her yellow top and Daniel goddamn gorgoues with his outfits,he brought much charm to Korics character and i absolutely adore the whole cast.Everyone portrayed their characters so well and everyone got the spotlight they deserved! Will defenitely re-watch "The House Arrest of Us" again and i 100% recommend it to everyone who wants to watch something over the top,funny and so romantic!
