Someone wrote in a comment I read a few years ago that Thailand remakes dramas a lot because getting new scripts…
How strict or not the censorship board in Thailand is has a lot to do with their current political situation and public opinion, which is always changing. So even an extremely successful lakorn like "Sawan Biang" from 2008 is not going to find the same audience in 2021 (and the script from 2008 wouldn't make it past the censors.)
I'm not very well informed about this. Hopefully someone with more information can write about this.
Someone please enlighten me I don't get it: why Thailand remade a drama that was already remade in 2015 (Roy Ruk…
Someone wrote in a comment I read a few years ago that Thailand remakes dramas a lot because getting new scripts past the TV censors is difficult, which is also why it will remake a half-way successful but really recent drama.
I genuinely respected the frankness and simplicity of this drama. It's quite well done. Can recommend to anyone who's looking for information that isn't presented in a clinical or dry way. Realistic and helpful, but the episode with the vibrator was just a teensy over the top, though.
Oh, my. I dislike the Fl's character so much, it's making my head throb. If you met this character in real life, her bubbly, smiling yet persistent incompetence would annoy you. A lot.
Her goofy, enthusiastic optimism and innocence are unsexy and unappealing. People are attracted to others for reasons wide and mysterious, but she it's incredibly unconvincing that she can induce anyone over the age of 15 to find her of interest as a romantic partner. There is an unexplored age/experience gap between the FL's character and the ML's, and the ML's attraction to the FL makes no sense at all.
The FL's character improves marginally toward the end of the drama, but not enough. Unfortunately, I had to watch all the episodes to find that out. So not worth it.
This is not the sort of drama I like to watch, but there was something so initially ridiculous about the synopsis I thought I'd check out a few minutes of the first episode, and holy shit, I love it so much . I'm laughing so hard, and rather than being ridiculous, it's wonderful.
Don't waste too much time looking for a plot, but you don't really need one for this show. Featuring abundant skinship, attractive performers, and a romance so sweet you'll need to see your dentist after, this drama is an excellent watch when you just wanted to settle down with something soothing and easy.
On the plus side, this is a Netflix film, so maybe not so tame, you could take your 8 year old brother. On the negative side (for this type of thematic material), it's S. Korean production, so it will probably tame enough for your 13 year old sister.
I like hard core slap kiss as much as the next person, but this show is not it.
The ML is a self-entitled, abusive douche, but the FL's constant, wide-eyed submission to every nutball character with a bad idea is more like abuse porn, written by a misogynist. Step around this like it's a very large and unwelcome pile of poop.
It's got Ken. And Anne. Together again. If this remake has all of the tension and excitement of Kdrama original, it could be fantastic. If it doesn't get subbed . . . . massive frustration.
And people are finally getting into Asian dramas because of Parasite...
It's more likely to be their availability at Netflix. Netflix makes a lot of its foreign drama catalog internationally available (although I wish Netflix would pick up more Thai and Turkish content.)
It's a tragedy that I've watched every single one of these except the ones that haven't aired yet. (Not optimistic about seeing those. Finding places to watch Lakorns these days is pretty difficult.)
Imma go back and read the rest of the article, which is just as excellent as the first part, but I had to drop down to the comments section immediately after reading the part about "Pin Anong". Oh, that was funny, So funny. I'm still laughing. Okay, I'll finish the article now.
After all the brutally cat-dog fightings in the company, it boils down to one and only one reason: build a low-income…
I don't know how you can watch "Ideal City", with its cut-throat politicking and rapacious profiteering and conclude "ugh. Socialism."
I'd much rather work in a company with employee stock ownership than one where every possible decision and consideration made by the company is about advancing share-holder value, and where CEO compensation is routinely many thousands of dollars more than line and staff workers. But that's just me.
I'ma tip you just for that description.

You're welcome.
Together again.

Thank you for the article. Enjoyed it so much!
