I am obsessed with Zheng Hui!
I mean, i totally salivated over him in "The Prince is too Wild" which i rated top stars. "Stealing Beauty" is about a tormented jewelry designer who lives under hiding and control of her boyfriend of eight years. She makesjewelry designs for his company and mistress, serving as a slave for him under the impression that he saved her father and will marry her one day. She wasted eight years on a scum like him. She was in such a terrible environment and relationship that the ML had to take drastic measures to take her out of that predicament on his return. He used coersion and seduction, but the best of all he helped her realize what a beauty and rare talent she has and helped her with her self-esteem. But, he also needed her to make some decisions for herself as well, so when she failed to do that he was rightly hurt and disappointed. I love however, the way he showed her what a faithless and immoral piece of junk her supposed boyfriend is, and kept on seducing her in the dark. So satisfying!Was this review helpful to you?
Revenge has never tasted sweeter...
"Love Trap Limerence" follows the story of past lovers separated by a bitter betrayal. The heroine Jiang Yao is a secret agent to a organisation that wanted the demise of the powerful warlord Chi Yan Zhou`s father and it resulted in his death. Chi Yan Zhou comes back more powerful than ever, in his thirst for revenge towards the one and only woman who has ever owned his heart.The plot, dialuge , OST , the chemistry and the visuals. I loved it. Zi Xian is so handsome and talented, a fine charismatic hero for the screen and the way his character could not keep his hands off his heroine was a DELIGHT to watch. My first time seeing the actress portraying the heroine and she did a fine job as well. Loved her figure by the way, she had fine curves! The agony and longing was so clearly felt through the screen between these two. It was quite heartbreaking actually, when he asked her with tears running down his eyes if she ever truly did love him all those years ago.

Took my breath away!!!!
I HAVE A FEVER!!My romance starved heart just yearned for a good romance drama like "The Prince is too Wild". This is a mini drama, but a kind soul put all the episodes together into a movie on Dailymotion in two parts. Worth every freaking second, especially involving the extremely strong, patient, badass, powerful and sexyyyyy male hero He Tingzhou and the way he oozed power and sex appeal just TOOK MY BREATH AWAY! The way he courted our innocent heroine Shuang Xu just gahhhhhh so darn sexy! The indecisive SML was a guy who could not entirely protect Shuang Xu the way he wanted especially if it was a threat against his parents in return, he was not a bad person and he did love Shuang Xu, but he is the hero who would sacrifice his love to save the world, while the more darker and sensual He Tingzhou is the villain who would rather burn down the whole world for his one true love. In his own words, not even God could come between him and the woman he loves.Was this review helpful to you?
A Classic Runaway Cinderella love-story...!
What made "Surviving Beauty" such a exciting lakhorn to watch was the essential story. I mean, what more do you want when you have a runaway cinderella bride on her road to seek refuge in her bestfriend`s brother Chalaybut`s farm but instead meet his deadly and bitter mortal enemy and rival Khetkham. Choenkwan find new friends, home and sweeping romantic adventure in the dark mysterious woodlands where we have a mysterious and evil Black Panther King trying to destroy everything and then she also has more problems added to a evil step mother who wants to force her to marry a man so she can steal her inheritance-and she is stuck with the ruthless and hot-tempered landowner Khetkham who she finds herself in a fake marriage with. We have the funny as hell hilarious sidekicks Tawan & Suang who mistook her for a prostitu** and took her to Khetkham at the start of this story, just simply hilarious!!!The story in itself being so entertaining we also have the beautifully developed romance between Kwan & Khet. Khet freaking rejected two women who love him, alas, he had given his whole heart to Kwan. It felt so bittersweet when we get to know that they actually had a blind date seven years ago in which Khet backed off in his way of rebelling against his fathers control. But fate made them meet in a wonderful way again...just so wonderful in how fated they actually are! My only criticue must be how lazy the writing became after Kwan went to the capital, just the material and mood went down a lot and i badly missed their scenes in the Woodlands of Khet. At least i am happy that the story concluded there at least, Kwan & Khet never got a break with how many challenges they had to face, so i got a few happy tears when they finally got their happy ever after on their love-spot with the help of all their friends and sidekicks! "Surviving Beauty" has the classic romance vibe i so much missed in the later lakhorns i have watched!

A Great Remake of “Shadow in Love “
I have always wanted to see a remake of Nago Ruk Luang Jai from 2010 starring my favourite Thai stars Prin Mark, Nadech and Mint. Now when Tricky in Love came out as remake I was so happy since this is a story totally entertaining in all its tropes. We have stolen identity, rivalry, enemies to lovers, jealousy and a bittersweet love triangle between our kind and gentle but headstrong Anda and the two fierce rivals and cousins the adventurous and carefree Pheem , and the cold and stoic Anon. Then we have the very jealous Lisa who is sick and tired of living under her best friend’s shadow. There is Shadow of Love in all its complexity in all the relationships in this story and everyone will have to make their own decisions-whether good or bad to continue in their journey.Was this review helpful to you?
Old-school Slap-Kiss Romance
”Fire of Desire” is a lakhorn that took my breath away when I first watched it some years ago. I decided to re-watch it when I saw that Dragon’s Lair had finished subbing it and I am so grateful for that!! We have a very good looking Caucasian hero first time ever in a Thai Lakhorn (that I had seen, well except for Bandit in ” Roy Marn”) portraying the American rich heir Kenneth who is the best friend of Uma’s older brother. Kenneth speaks Thai as second language and loves Thai food and the culture immensely and he secretly loved his best friends sister all along-Uma in this case has strong prejudice towards foreign people and lashes out at Ken in every turn. When circumstances forces Uma to marry the one man she desperately despises, her hatred will wither away under Ken’s watchful gaze, speaking of his longing and love- the fire of his desire!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Palms on Love tied to Passion for Revenge.
We have all the tropes her for a angsty and trainwrecky romance! Separated lovers, FL being the appointed Concubine of ML´s father and FL wanting to avenge her family. 24 episodes of trainwrecky twists and turns. Full 15 episodes of our heroine cutting at Hero`s soul, breaking his heart again and again. The main leads looked good together though, and their acting was top notch. I loved how intense their fights were in the beginning , and how bitterly hurt the hero DongFeng was but still could not help but have her near him, protect her and care for her. Ah, angsty love at it finest.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet Sweet Revenge!
This year has been filled with delicious sexy revenge c-dramas and i have been here for it! Fatal Allure was a must watch for me since we have Dai Gaozheng and Hong Xiao co-starring in a revenge drama romance. I loved every ep of it, and i love the way Dai Gao`s character was a sharp hero, though he was deadly...he would rather cut his right arm off than ever hurting his beautiful tortured heroine. I love that he stood by her side the moment he knew her true identity, poor smitten fool could not live without her. And the kissess were omg smoking! Felt like he was literally sipping her lips!!Was this review helpful to you?
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.

Reminded me of Goodbye my Princess & Till the End of the Moon.
I finished this drama over night and i am so overcome with emotions it makes my heart hurt .Jin Chen is a ML in the form of a villain. His love for Yao was doomed before it even started because in a world of power hungry politicians and brothers Jin Chen had to become more cunning,vicious and ruthless than them,at the cost of his humanity which he entirely lost the moment Yao decides to leave him.
His words to her:”You are all that i have left ” was said calmly but firmly,indicating for her to understand (and us viewers) how lonely and starved he is of her love. He sometimes reminded me of Tantai Jin,utterly heartbreaking.
Yao is such an admirable heroine stuck in the never ending cycle. Her anguish and grief,her blooming love turned into cool hatred tied to the knowledge (especially at the end) that she would have gladly accepted Jin Chen ’s blinding love if it weren’t for his past involvement. This is indeed the tragedy of Love & Bid Farewell.

A nicely done cinderella trope that made me lose sleep for three nights!
As the translation to the title of this drama says, "The Necessary Wife" is the central part of this old-school romantic drama starring the very beautiful on-screen couple Petvisetsiri Swiss as the rich but down to earth/honorable Male Hero Tohmorn Taradorn and Namfon Kullanat as the beautiful hard-working orphan Tawan. This lakhorn really delivers in a lot of aspects: we get greedy villains, gossiping servants, identity switch, misunderstandings, slap-kiss, an old vow of engagement and a sweet love-story in mids of all this chaos.I mainly (duhhh) enjoyed this lakhorn for the mainleads and what an electrifying chemistry they actually had in their every scene together. I also loved them in another lakhorn called "Ploy Lom Peth". I actually binge watched this lakhorn in three days and i found every ep exciting and just could not drop this one at all, i just had to finish it. I would also have given this lakhorn higher rating if it weren`t for how much screen time the villains had in this lakhorn. They were simply awful, though Yard`s mother is a terrific actress and i enjoyed her acting. I also wonder what the name of the actor who played Benley is? I don`t see him in the MDL cast of this lakhorn, he did really good in making me hate him.

"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!

I watched it for Dai Gao Zheng♥️
Roses and Guns is Revenge romance web drama that had a Nice pace and interesting story and mysteries to catch me. I also enjoyed the romance between the main leads and Dai Gao’s portrayal of the smitten warlord lover of our deadly FL. I love the way he desperately wanted to forgive her despite his anguished hatred for her. I also love the way he called her ”the Brightest Star in The Sky⭐️”Was this review helpful to you?
I feel like i fell into a trap...
This movie is a erotic drama damn it and i rarely watch these kind of movies. I thought the female actress looked beautiful but her character was kinda one dimensional to me, well all characters were one dimensional and not much was shown here. Or even delivered acting wise, and the plot is despicable in my opinion. Infidelity is a trope i hate.It all was so predictable as well. I saw some things come from miles away. I regret watching this.

Ling Xiao was such a good Anti-hero, his mezmerizing eyes and charisma......uff!
I can absolutely say i loved Part For Ever and have re-watched some heartstopping scenes over and over again.Its just such a well done enemies to lovers trope!!I just love the Male Lead so much, the tragic essence of him and how he knew deep down how doomed his fate was in this life. It was as if he always knew. I love how he hated to love his enemy, new bride to be. How confusing he felt, ahhhh my heart went out to him so many times.This is a terrific love-story for a short drama. I just enjoyed the journey of angst, action and romance.
