A story filled with symbolism..

The Girl in Blue is one of the earliest adaptation of Fei Wo Si Cun’s novels and she is literally called Queen of Angst since her main leads always suffer.This story is also among her heartbreaking ones!
In this drama however the story is quite tied to the color of Blue and uses it as a symbolism in many ways. It revolves around depth and sensitivity and bravery , but also aloofness and sadness. Ruan Dong Zi uses blue matching light sticks to lure in Jia Qi’s attention. She is the woman who broke his best friend’s heart years ago,almost making him commit suicide and die in the burning house, in which Dong Zi saved him. Dong Zi has always despised Jia Qi, he wondered what on earth made his bestfriend lose himself towards that ”love”. So Dong Zi plans for revenge that was doomed to backfire on him so badly that the effects of it would almost ruin his soul and life. To trick Jia Qi into loving him so he would break her heart this time,this was his game of love..where there would be no going back from him or her there on. The magic blue lighting sticks, the secret written web novel (where the author name was Blue, though the author was Dong Zi,hehe) , the beautiful friendships and the secret game of love and the devastating love triangle. This is a story about three wonderful but flawed characters Jia Qi, Dong Zi and He Ping and how they find their meaning in life and love.

Watch this one for the main-leads!

Chen Fang Tong & Dai Gao Zheng totally fired up the screen in "Maid`s Revenge" so i have been unable to forget these two for a long while. I was so excited when i got to know they would star in a new drama together. "Forever Love" is a contemporary romance with business intrigues and politics. We have investigations going on, combat scenes and betrayals. But the fiery chemistry between the main-leads totally made this worth the watch, i binge watched it in one day. Dai Gao Zheng is absolutely gorgeous as the bodyguard Qin Mo Yao and i loved how absolutely besotted he is with Tong. Their love-scenes made me absolutely warm all over. Ahhhh how i hope for more dramas with both of them steaming up the screen again!!

A passionate love-story set in the quiet wildness of the desert.

"Remember, from this moment on you will call for my warmth and the taste of my kissess forever. If on a day or night i don`t come to you, you will feel the torment of death"- Karim Abdullah

***
At the start of this story there is a young prince riding along the sands of the desert in the arabian Quhar, he is always waiting while looking over at quietness and mystery of the desert...always waiting. As a man many years later he runs along the desert with anguished sobs and cries out to the desert and the Gods why his heroine won`t accept him as a man. This prince is Karim Abdullah (portrayed by Willie McIntosh) , his name has the meaning of "honorable and "generous". He is the hero of this story. Born into a arabian kingdom as a half-breed, as a orphan and with a aunt and cousin that detests the sight of him. He loves his beloved uncle Hassan who introduces him to his step-daughter, our very sharp but beautiful heroine Danielle (portrayed by Mew Lalita), her name embodies beauty, intellect, and defiance and she stays true to her character throughout. But she is afraid of the one man bold and dynamic enough to steal her breath away with just one glance. But she will deny him marriage and defy his heart and run away from him...not realizing that she is only running from her own heart.

This is one powerful story of a lakhorn. This story and its characters just gripped me. I am in absolute awe. Ah, it was so romantic and hella exciting and absolutely stunning of a picture!! Willie as the arabian prince Karim Abdullah totally stole my heart and his love for Danielle just made me cry everytime she denied him and tried to hurt him. She did not trust him, especially since there were many side characters that lied about him to her and wrote him off as a terrible monster. At least Karim made her realize for herself what a man he is and yesss yess girl your man is sexy as heck!!! He was so passionate i had to fan my face all the time.LOL. This lakhorn is also based on a Harlequin Presents Romance novel written by Penny Jordan with the title "Daughter of Hassan" which i find awesome since its one of my favourite authors. Mew Lalita was absolutely stunning as the heroine Danielle and omg her outfits blew my mind away! She was so much in her feminime aura that even i fell for her! I give this lakhorn 10/10 and i feel so lucky that i found it with eng subs! This is a lakhorn not to be missed and i lost sleep over this one for three whole nights! This was one hell of a journey, i will miss Karim & Danielle so much!

I will never get over this drama.

Oh my god. I have no idea whatsoever i am gonna do with my life now. "Maid`s Revenge" was such a thrilling, dark, enfuriating, addictive, smart and sexy epic romance that gave me everything i craved in this genre. Tingyao is a cute heroine with a wonderful character developement but it is the beautiful alpha warlord Male Hero Tian Yi that totally took my breath away with his stunning looks and acting. He was raw male power and oozed so much sex appeal i had to take my eyes off the screen sometimes because i had to FREAKING BREATH with how beautifully dangerous and sexy he was.

Gao Zheng did this character so well that i am stunned. His acting was so natural and fitting of this powerful character that execuded power, authority, strength and such sex appeal, but also showing his heart through his eyes. When he looked at his female heroine with such agony and longing i just wanted to cry. He is one of my favourite on-screen heroes. Never gonna get over him, just sayin.Ahh

"Fah Mee Tawan" (which means: The Sky has the Sun) is a story of betrayal, vengeance, gratitude, heartbreak and the power of love. It follows the very smart businessman Paul Yang who comes back to Thailand after many years and has taken on a secret identity to join the Crown Diamond company that originally belonged to his mother who was betrayed by his father. He is enraged and thirsty for revenge, a shadow that have followed him his whole life. The victims in his plan of revenge are his father who threw him and his mother away and abandoned them when he was a child- a traumatizing memory. The other victim is his fathers wife Net who he manipulates to get what he wants through charm and seduction...and lastly their adopted daughter Nainapha (Nai) who distrusts him the second he steps his foot into the Crown Diamond Company. Paul and Nai will have to deal with their differences and their undenyable attraction towards each other. My heart hurt for both characters. Their past kept on haunting them, and they only could find bliss and peace with each other. Their romance was such a strong and central part in this intense story and i managed to binge-watch this drama in three days just because i was so invested in their electric romance!

I absolutely loved the OST, especially "Because I Love You" whenever Nai and Paul were together. Ahhhh their chemistry is just so darn good! Their first kiss on the beach while it was raining almost killed me! The actor portraying Paul is such a sexy kisser!

Some people would say that this movie is garbage and a waste of time. It is too over the top, just wayyyyy over the top with some stupid sense of humor in lots of scenes. But it is aimed to the younger audience, its obvious this movie is made with a lot of joy and love. Vice Ganda, Daniel Padilla and Pia Wurtzbach all played the important main characters in this story. Karla Estrada also portrayed one of the supporting characters.Near the end of the movie, in the climax scene where Vice character has to decide if he wants to stay dead or live further, he answers that he rather wants to be dead. The world is too ugly, people too much complicated. They never see the good things you do, but never forgets the bad things from you. Its a rather sad truth and i agreed with him wholeheartedly. Vice Ganda is a great actor and its easy to see why he is so well known for his comedy movies in the Phillippines. I also love watching him together with Daniel Padilla on-screen ever since i saw their first movie together in "Sisterakas". I also smiled huge when i saw Kathryn Bernardo making a special appearance in the end, and how Daniel just hugged her happily! Ah they are so cute!

"Sisterakas" is a feel good comedy movie that took over the top humor and situations to a whole another level...and did make it work!I found much joy watching this film,despite the OVER THE TOP scenes.Even felt like Daniel Padilla couldn`t help himself from grinning at times,lol.Vice Ganda is such a great entertainer and i have really warmed up to him since i have seen him interview Kathryn & Daniel in many of his talk shows. As an actor in his performance as the fashion queen Bernardo he did a awesome job in making the character alive.Working hard just to get revenge on his half-sister Bernadette (played by Ai-Ai) whose mother made Bernardo`s mother a cripple in a crime of passion.Then we have the orphaned Angelo(played by Daniel) Bernardo adopted and who he encourages to court Bernadette`s daughter Kathy (played by Kathryn)...just to later break her heart.Matters turn wrong when Angelo falls head over heels over Kathy and Bernardo starts to realize that his sister is actually a good genuine human being.

"Sai Lub Rai Ruk Puan" is a romantic action comedy thai-lakhorn from 2016 starring the veteran actors Andrew Gregson as the undercover government spy Din Saopong and Ploy Boonyasak as the sweethearted rich heiress Ran. Din meets Ran at the start of this story while on a mission and both quickly feel attracted to each other.Strong feelings of love starts to develop when they start to date and they eventually marry despite Ran`s mother despising Din on sight because of his status.But the obstacles becomes even more messier when Din has to do everything to hide his real occupation which leads to more misunderstandings that threatens to tear their marriage apart.

I love romantic stories about married couples.Din and Ran are both kind of a odd pair,but they worked so well together with their different personalities.Both wants the best for the other,they are so undenyable cute together and very passionate when it comes to love-making,LOL!The episode where Din tried everything to get Ran pregnant was hilarious! Both are also very vulnerable and can become insecure very quickly when the other partner doesn`t behave normally.Ran and Din are both very possessive of each other which gave show for angst and adorable jealous scenes.Din`s bestfriends and colleague`s Rock and Cookie are wonderful characters.It was fun seeing Golf on-screen and watching him play a fun charming character like Rock who finds his first love in Taen,a photographer who cathes cheaters.We get a fun second-couple in them.We also have several villians bringing in trouble all the time,all the more relief when they finally lose in the end.It was worth it watching this lakhorn for all the fun and excitement,i especially appreciate the on-screen chemistry between Andrew and the very stunning Ploy!

This lakhorn was a delight to watch!"Bow See Chompoo" (which means; Pink Ribbon") from 2004 starring the good-looking leads Chakrit Yamnam as "Pon" Kritchapon and Angie Hastings as Bo Srisamorn.Its a romantic comedy with a bit of dramatic suspense near the end and follows the story of our beautiful gold-digger of nangek Bo who lives with her nephew and bestfriend and thinks money can buy your happiness. She however has a huge problem when she realizes she have made herself engaged with two men,who both are father and son. The problem becomes more chaotic when her fiance`s friend, a rich hotel owner Kritchapon knows of her deceit and he does everything to make her life miserable.Both are clearly attracted to each other from first sight and bicker everytime they meet.They have many obstacles to overcome before they get to their happy ever after.

Chakrit in his younger days was so handsome!God how i love watching him on-screen!And his on-screen chemistry with Angie was totally on fire!This is also my first time seeing Angie on-screen and my my how she stole the show!SHE LOOKS ABSOLUTE GORGEOUS!Its also unique how right Pon was about Bo caring about money all the time when usually all the other praeks got it wrong.In this case Po did care about money,but she has reasons for it.She was never mean or being a bitch and her love for her sister and nephew was adorable and she totally stole my heart with how sweet and sassy she was!Pon totally falls for her against his will and even keeps the pink ribbon she gave him to stop his bleeding when he got hurt.Pon and Bo totally took over the whole lakhorn with their entertaining love-story!The cast also did a great job,even while the jealous neighbour of Bo was annoying she also made me laugh quite a few times.

I must say,this has been a EXCITING ride!"Rahut Rissaya" is a lakhorn that aired in 2020 and is a remake of another version from 2007.It has all the tropes we find exciting and delivers awesome angst of revenge,passion,betrayal and a newfound love in the most unexpected way.It stars Pinkploy Paparwadee as the headstrong heiress Palai Wattanaphas and Bank Artit as the golden-hearted business tycoon Siwa Rattanarit.In the early start of this story Palai`s parents gets killed in a deliberate accident and Palai gets so furious with heartbreak when she realizes her relatives where the ones who caused their death that she decides to stoop to the lowest of points in her quest for vengeance against the ones who ruined her world.But in her quest for vengeance she has to use the one man who always secretly desired her-in which she blackmails Siwa into marrying her.Telling that Siwa was angry with this blackmail is a understatement.But soon Siwa and Palai join forces and together they fight for their happiness-and in mids of all this they find themselves falling more in love with each other.

This is a lakhorn that turns the tables and i enjoyed every minute of it!I love the storyline,although the last episode went a bit out of it with the way it added more and more unnecessary drama that i could have done without.Palai is a good hearted heroine who gets forced to turn her heart into ice as she fights every bit dirty against the enemies who wants her bad.She was so stubborn and brave that i rooted for her.I also love how the actress portrayed her so naturally.She executed sassyness,shyness and cuteness so well-and when she was angry...she was soooo angry LOL!

Bank Artit is a actor i have had my eyes on ever since i watched "Cubic" where he portrayed a supporting character and had so much charisma!It also helps with how handsome he is,LOL.I am glad he get leading roles nowadays since his acting is so startingly good!I love how he portrayed the noble and kindhearted Siwa.Siwa is not much like all other leading heroes.When Siwa loves,he loves with all his selfless soul.He could handle how Palai broke his heart all the time and left him bleeding.He would take a bullet for her,take flowers to her while she is working,even marry another woman he doesn`t love just to keep Palai safe,handle her betrayals even as far as thinking she could be pregnant with another man`s child he still loved her irrevocably.He said it himself,he is so crazy in love with her that his love only increases even after she hurts him.That`s so beautiful and romantic.I love Siwa so much!

Siwa and Palai are a beautiful couple that i want to visit again and again.Love their chemistry so much and i love how there was this awareness between them even from the start,although Palai tried to ignore it since she thought he was dating her cousin.Siwa`s father is a villain in this story and i felt so sorry for Siwa.His life literally turned hell when he realized all the stuff Palai told him about his father was true.I can`t imagine that kind of suffocating pain and anguish over knowing what kind of monster your own father are.Still,Siwa handled it in the best way he could and decided to still love his father despite it all.The fate of the snobby cousin and Palai`s aunt is really brutal but i can`t say i will miss them since they annoyed me throughout the story.I didn`t enjoy Thana`s character here much (which is weird since i loved him in "Prom Pisawat) since he was much unstable after his fathers death.I wish Siwa and Palai all the best with their second marriage and their newborn child!

"Sai Yai Sawad" (which means: Passionate Bond) is a contemporary slap-kiss lakhorn starring the veteran thai actress Kob Suvanant as Lai the widow of a old businessman and clashes in a war of passion against his only son who is now her stepson,the very handsome and hot-tempered "Ae" Aekan who is played by Stephan Tasit.This is the third time Kob and Stephan co-star together-with Jaroon Thamsin as the director since he also was the director of the other two Kob-Stephan starrers "Lhong Ngao Jun" and "Poo Som Fao Sap".I have watched and did enjoy their first lakhorn together "Lhong Ngao Jun" and really wanted to watch more of their work together as co-stars."Sai Yai Sawad" was very intense in every episode,it was also better directed and edited although sometimes repetitive with the dialuges between the main-leads.I was also more impressed by Stephan`s acting as the badboy Aekan,there was more naturalism to his acting than in his earlier lakhorn.

Kob is as amazing as always.Just love her acting and presence and i simply want to dig more into her other lakhorns and watch more of her.There is something about her i find very likable!I watched this lakhorn raw since it has not been eng subbed.I could follow the plot very easily but did struggle to understand the conversations sometimes especially when it came to the secret of which people are the little boy Arn`s real parents.I also adore how Aekan and Arn`s relationship slowly develops throughout this lakhorn and i thought them adorable together.When it comes to the romance it was pure hate-love relationship.Lai and Aekan hate each other with bitterness,but can`t help but be attracted to each other.They fight in every episode til the end,which is about 96 % of the story,so there are very little sweet moments between them since they were too busy insulting each other,fighting,throwing the other in the pool,Aekan forcing kisses on her while she afterwards scratches him on the face (that scene is memorable,lol).They pushed each other`s buttons like no other.I also need to give some credit to the clumsy servant who always seemed to grate on Aekan`s nerves,lol.She was so funny!I will say this lakhorn is far from perfect,but i still did enjoy it mostly because of the on-screen chemistry between Kob and Stephan i found so carnal at times.

"I´ve been lost in the dark side of the moon for so long...but lucky me,today i get to see how beautiful the bright side of the moon is. .- "Ae" Thanakim
***
"Lhong Ngao Jun" (which mean " Enchanted Moon") is a old-school thai lakhorn i have had my eyes on for a very long time before i decided to sit down to watch it.It stars the wonderful veteran actress Kob Suvanant as the demure and goodhearted "Pim" Pimchanok who becomes the victim of "Ae" Thanakim`s revenge played by Stephan Tasit. Her natural beauty and deep core patience and calmness enchants Ae`s souldeep anger and turns it into love.He mistakes her for being the woman who broke his friends heart and caused him to die on a car accident while driving drunk-never even suspecting that she has a evil younger sister Khem who is the real culprit and whose life reason is to cause every trouble for Pim.
***
"I have no right to love anyone,but i do have the right not to love you"
-"Pim" Pimchanok to Ae
***

So many aspects of this plot reminded me of "Ngao Asoke" especially with how sacrificial Pim was when it came to her happiness-she was willing to beg Ae to marry her sister so her relationship with her family would be peaceful,full well knowing that Ae loves her and not Khem.One more thing i found familiar was how Ae was after her THE WHOLE TIME!First he followed her around to terrorize her and destroy her life to pieces but that need of violence and revenge slowly dies down when Pim hits him with a rock after he forcefully kissess her. With a bloody face he drives away from there and get stuck in a car accident and wakes up with half his body paralyzed.Because of her guilt Pim takes care of him those 6 months and helps him recover. I thought it wonderful how devoted and smitten Ae is towards her and gets jealous of every other man around her-even his own bestfriend P`Kim,LOL.

I wish this lakhorn could have been directed and edited better.Some scenes are cut down in middle of conversations which frustrated me at times.There are some scenes that are done very well.Love how the hospital Pim works in are organized in a very realistic way.I also came to fall for Ae`s bestfriend P´Kim (have seen the actor in many other lakhorns)..and how he mocked lakhorns although they were living in one themselves.There is also the beginning scene i find very endearing when Ae,P´Kim and their now dead friend Thip drove bicycles when they were little boys and met the very young Pim who fetches her nursing bag to help the hurt little Thip-all the three boys thought she was an angel,LOL.That scene was so adorable,and i found it more adorable that Ae as a child still looked into her garden every day after that just to look for her..but she had already moved away at that point.It makes it even more ironic that their fates get sealed into a pact of revenge a decade later.

I watched this one while it got subbed, how i remember when i got frustrated when i couldn`t watch the next episode cuz it wasn`t subbed. Either way this a story that takes place 10 years since legendary F4 members Tsukasa Domyoji, Rui Hanazawa, Sojiro Nishikado and Akira Mimasaka have graduated from Eitoku Academy. Now another group has taken over the school which are C5 and their leader is the notorious Haruto Kaguragi who falls in love with Oto Edogawa, a girl whose fathers business got bankrupt and are now trying to hide that she is poor. But neither did Haruto know that Oto are engaged to his biggest rival Tenma Hase. Oh how i came to adore this series. We also get to see Domyjoji in a flashback where he saves Haruto. I love it when his love for Makino got mentioned. This drama has its own special classic feeling to it and i never got bored. I love how smitten Haruto are with Oto (like Domyjojo was with Makino) and the love-triangle are bitter-sweet to. A MUST-WATCH if you want some romance and high-school drama!
