As i have mentioned before,i had already seen the Nadech&Yaya version before watching the original one and i quite frankly never thought i would ever be watching the original version.But lately i am so darn obsessed with Andrew`s acting and with me loving this story and to my luck also having eng subs i decided to watch it.Its a story that takes on many factors about life and nature. About doing your duty and contributing to your community,following your dreams,respect and care for the nature and doing good deeds.Grandma Daeng teaches a lot and always gives without taking anything back.She is a lovely admirable character very important to the story since her fate lead it to the way the story lead.Athit loves agriculture and is a hardworking and honest young man...no wonder he steals his grandmother`s heart.He has such a beautiful soul.But he still can`t resist teasing the young Dauranee who tries to make his life miserable at every turn,but while also growing up together and individually over the years their friendship blossoms more deeper and finally becomes the fruit of love the matchmakers around Athit and Dauranee saw coming from afar (with matchmakers i mean the grandmother,aunt Kaew and Klerng).This story is so much filled with humor and charm and showcases very beautiful scenes with the nature.The last two episodes were filled with so much romance that i couldn`t catch my breath and the chemistry between Andrew and Pock sizzled like crazy.How beautiful they looked in their youth and Andrew is one stunning eye candy i can`t take my eyes away from. I won`t ever forget this tale...it made me cry and laugh and smile and swoon and just took my breath away at times,wow!

This lakhorn is very enchanting to watch.Watching Lak travel to the countryside to meet his cousin Massaya by his grandmothers order and to bring her back to the Rattanamahasarn House,was a delight. On his way he meets the very spirited Massaya where she chases him away with a monkey.That scene was much fun!Despite bickering early on they become fast friends and Lak becomes the person Massaya trusts the most.Massaya will need to adapt herself to her new family,new social class and a new home in Bangkok.It makes it even harder having her snobbish aunt and cousins bullying her and looking down on her all the time.Lak gets pressured by his grandmother to marry and he also has a secret undercover mission to succeed when in mids of all this chaos he has a commander abusing him in every way.
Massaya and Lak are two wonderful characters.I adored Massaya for her intelligence,spirit and honesty.She wore her heart on her sleeve and devotedly loves Lak all along.She also becomes great friends with one nice cousin she has,her neighbour who is a singer,a prince who falls for her and a crazy photographer taking pictures of her all the time.But she is a loyal soul and only loves her beloved Lak all along.Lak has this youthful energy to him that Massaya was drawn to.He understood Massaya and supported her in everything.He is a very brave soldier and refused to back down from any challenge.Such a charming and handsome man,Andrew`s portrayal of him totally won my heart!This is one of the most slow-burn romances i have ever seen,but it was so bittersweet!

Monthai and Bee have an early bond that only grew stronger with time.With Bee writing letters and sending gifts to Monthai for 8 years when he was in Australia,when it was Viyada who was Monthai`s girlfriend and was supposed to do it.We all watchers can see that it is all along Bee,that Monthai truly loves.It also takes long time for him to realize it.I also wish we had more sweet scenes between Mon and Bee,they always fought throughout the story..and the few sweetness we got was so swoon-worthy!
As i have mentioned,i do prefer the original version starring Ek and Ae,just because they have way better and intense chemistry,and because Ek`s Monthai realizes earlier the bitchiness of Viyada,both Ae and Ek excuted the characters of Bee and Mon much better actually.We also got to see a wedding scene in the original version`s ending!

Nadech and Yaya will always be my favourite couple. With their 5-star performances as the brave but flirty Captain Ramin and the beautiful but bratty Petra Pawadee they stole our heart with their electric and warm chemistry in this crazily funny,cute and exciting lakhorn.This one made me both laugh and cry hard,i always cry when it comes to suffering of NY`s characters..i always feel with them. Had waited for over one year for this lakhorn..and it has not disappointed me. NY are the best!

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!

"Not even once did i win over myself, Without any strength i failed fleeing from my own heart" -OST
This is a old-school action/ romanctic drama lakhorn from 2002 and like the title says, it is based aorund a certain ring called: Jewel Encircled Diamond which is first seen on our heroine`s Pan Pailin`s (portrayed by Namfon Kullanat) finger for the first time at her parents fashion show in Hong Kong. Chaos erupts and tragedy befalls when her both parents get shot and one man in particular manages to rescue her, our charming but cynical hero Komute (portrayed by Bee Petvisetsiri).The plot thickens even more when she moves in with her uncle and tolerates the verbal abuse from her jealous and greedy cousins and then she from nowhere gets forcefully engaged to the oldest son of a rich family. It happens to be the man Komute`s sister had been engaged to and got her pregnant with- and who also cruelly left her. Komute`s rage intensifies and he takes his sister to the wedding and curses Lin & Chanon. His hatred intensifies even more when he has to travel to Hong Kong and meets Lin on the journey- not knowing that she actually had a secret deal with her uncle to return the Jewel Encircled Diamond to a Mafia Don. And from then on Lin gets chased with Komute having to rescue her and escape with her everytime. This was an unforgettable journey indeed, what an adventure!!!
Their chemistry was literally sizzling my computer screen, omg how i loved them bickering. Those rare tender moments of him just looking at her longingly and kissing her cheek...ahhhhh my heart!!I love how Komute hated so badly to fall for her against his will. But ahhhhh how it was to late. He fell before he even knew her poor smitten hero. Lin was a beautiful and vulnerable heroine who strived to be strong and to not be helpless, as she was in most cases. We have the supporting sidekicks James & Alice who actually were the children of the Mafia Don who always helped Komute & Lin. This was a amazing drama, never a boring episode!

Siege in Fog-a story that broke my heart in its essence.
There is something about the dramas adapted by Fei Wo Si Cun novels that always tugs at my heart. I always manage to fall in love with them, however faulted they are. I finished Siege in Fog with my little sister, it had actually been my third time re-watching it but i never managed to finish it until the third time becaue of how hard the second part of this drama actually becomes and i don`t mean that in a bad way. While the first part builds the plot up in both past and present the second part is filled with decisions and confrontations which were hard to bear. I loved the relationship Lian Kai had with his brothers and how he managed to steal his wife`s Qin Sang`s heart. They were beautiful together, fated soulmates indeed.Was this review helpful to you?
Heartbreaking, stunning,epic and wondrous...
"A Fox sits atop a sand dune, sitting on the sand dunes, gazing at the moon. Turns out that his gaze is not upon the moon. Alone waiting for the shepherd girl to return." -Ost "Little Fox"Historical epic romantic adventure filled with politic intrigues and how awful deceptive greed brings everyone down in this story. "Goodbye my princess" is based on a novel Eastern Palace written by the famous chinese author Fei Wo Si Cun (who also wrote masterpieces like "Too Late to say i love you" and "Siege in Fog" and "Sealed with a Kiss".) " Goodbye my princess" stars Chen Xing Xu as the becoming Crown Prince Li Cheng Yin and Peng Xiao Ran as the very beautiful princess Xiao Feng. All the characters had their purpose and the story was haunting in its clear sad beauty. Their love-story was cursed before it even began, how they jump into the river of forgetfullness and how their souls still never forgot each other when their minds did. All the actors did a terrific job, Li Cheng Yin never ceased to make me surprised by how calculating and ruthless he could be, bordering on being a monster. This story made my heart bleed. I don`t know what I can write anymore, this drama has made me at loss for words.

I could not avoid this one
"My Demon" is a drama i saw headlines of everywhere i went on the internet and my social circle,LOL. Everyone had great stuff to show and tell me about it so i was like, why the hell not? It was a exciting start and kept me on toes, this magical tale of a demon who makes a deal with a human. I felt the magic, darkness, enchantment and the romance in the air between the main-leads, reincarnated lovers and soulmates Do do-he & Jung Koo Won. Their exceptional love-story is the centre of it all in this epic tale where our demon becomes Do he`s savior in all the ways she never expected and she manages to stir feelings inside of him he thought he never could possibly feel. Jung Koo Won is a charming devil...witty, arrogant, dedicated, charismatic. And he thinks all humans are insignificant creatures...well except for when he meets Do-he,lol. I love this drama, its been so long since i watched a k-drama i really enjoyed like this one. It has one of the most stunning on-screen couple i have ever seen as well. This one gave me goosebumps, made me cry,smile and laugh and swoon with the magic and thrill of what was My Demon!Was this review helpful to you?

"Fai Luang" is a old-school slap-kiss soap opera with lots of intensity in its melodramatic essence. It has all that i love in lakhorns of this genre. Romance, passion, hatred, revenge and two main-leads that refuse to back off from their purpose. It stars the handsome Willie Ruengrit as the avenging and domineering hero Naparoot who in every sense of the word wants to ruin the life of his deceased father`s mistress and in turn hurt her younger sister, the one woman who ever infuriates him and makes him go mad with anger and passion, the very gentle but stubborn Yotien starred by Tao Sarocha. She is furious over her sisters actions and betrayal but with fierce patience and good will she tries to gain the forgiveness of Naparoot`s family, which only infuriates him even more. Their love for each other became the burning fire that at first was built by intense hatred, both Naparoot & Yotien get hurt by it and both refuse to even acknowledge it or even give in to it.
I totally lost sleep over this incredible story. All the characters felt so real to me and their emotions were well acted out by the whole cast. Willie just took my breath away with his gripping performance by truly showing how Naparoot was at the peak of losing his mind. He was the soul of this story, no one was above him and could really stand up against him, well except for his very beloved heroine who refused to surrender.

Soo Jung is a orphan who tries to survive in a harsh world. She is the tour guide the other main-characers meets in Bali, and it changes everything. I loved how complex she was, how darn pitiful and how she made selfish decisions. It would have not worked out if it weren`t for how much heart the actresss portrayed into the character. She is streetsmart, knows when to take advantage and could be selfish when it came to her greed. But she was nice, grateful, strong. A bit lost sometimes, but she pulled it thorugh. That ending though...ah the ending.
Jae min was the real star in this drama. Omg, what a passionate, mad, and violent character. I totally loved him! Never a boring moment with him. The way he naturally fell in love with Soo Jung and wanted to do anything to keep her. He wanted her by his side. The way he would break down in front of her, begging for her affection. Just broke my heart. I love it when he does find the inner man inside of him, and wants nothing of life if it has not Soo jung in it. He slowly started to go insane after he lost her. Never realizing that she may have given him something she said she would never want to give him. That ending...oh lord.

Where to start off with this lakhorn?
It is a trainwreck, a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. We have a Anti-hero named Pummared (played by Pong Nawat) that is handsome, arrogant,clever, manipulative and so seductive that he is able to catch the heart of three sisters. His game of deception and seduction for his quest for revenge is a highly addictive journey-because you keep wait for the axe to fall. For him to break apart and realize that it is him who has been deceieved all along-his whole life. He was groomed for this plan of revenge, it was all he knew. All he thought he was destined for. And it was all a lie. He ruined the life of three innocent sisters for a lie.
Between the three sisters, it is the middle sister Noy (played by Pimmada Boriruk) that cathes him by surprise. He finds himself unwillingly falling for her sharp spirit and honesty and beauty. She knows his game and wants none of it. (there is a moment between them i find so darn romantic: its the nightscene with the fireflies,ahhhh) But at a moment of choice halfway through his journey he still chooses revenge...and that love gets lost to him forever. He marries the oldest sister and leaves her the first night-having taken all her shares of ownerships from her. He also made the youngest sister his secret mistress/wife and even made her pregnant. This is not only it people, this is a catastrophe of all hell dimensions, where every decision has its consuquences.
Pong Nawat at the early stage of his career was still finding his style in acting, and i feel like he did such a great job at portraying a flawed character like Pummared who knew no better than acting on revenge-and being cunning and heartless enough to do ANYTHING to get to his goal. His character is still so darn tragic in its essence. Its like the Frankenstein in some sense. He was groomed into thinking the way he does by his father, and when he still hesitated his father was there to manipulate and lie to him again. He was so torn, so darn broken. He knew it would ruin his life, that he never would be free. Ah, what a tragic hero he became. This story broke my heart.
