Hiding,deceit,blame,family honor,money and a lot more
Dropped after watching 10 episodes... All the characters are so stupid and they deserver whatever unfortunate things happen with them..The leading lady doesn't trust her man at all. If she had atleast put some amount of trust into the main lead, a lot of problems could have been averted.. She also never bothers to find out the truth in many situations and instead blames him for everything...She is a master in hiding truth from everybody and is partly responsible for her own misery,..Also i dont get why she has to sleep with him for the second time and never tells him that she loves him.. If that night she had told him the truth,he wouldn't have left her in care of his friend..
The leading man is at fault for some of the problems but he is not responsible for all the problems.. A lot of wrong blame is put on him and he doesn't even bother to absolve himself from some of the wrongful accusations. He is one of the dumbest character..
The leading lady's father is more bothered about family honor and this is the reason the female lead never tells him the truth. He blindly trusts one his employee and wants him to marry his daughter though the daughter never liked him...
The leading man's father is after money and sees his illegitimate son as a money minting machine. He doesn't want to acknowledge him as his son in public but wants him to work like a donkey to earn money for the company. No wonder the leading man doesn't want to work for him..
The actress friend/enemy is so wicked that she can use anything and everything to her own advantage... Also the leading man and the leading lady keep falling into her trap,not just once but multiple times... It seems no one wants to learn from their mistakes.
The manager assisting the leading lady is not less in wickedness. Using bullying and many backhand methods to forcefully marry the leading lady.. Always sticks around his gambling addict gay partner and crosses all lines of professional ethics to get the money for his gay partner..
The actor/ gay partner of the top manager of The Emperor company is always into gambling and also uses all form of blackmail to get the money.. His need for money never ends and he always resorts to emotional blackmail of his gay partner to get him the money by hook or crook...This guy never changes...
The leading man's mother who is the other woman in his father's life is always slave to his father. If his father says stay in NY she stays,if he says come back to Bangkok,she comes.. She is basically used by her husband to control her talented, money minting son and she obliges...
The leading lady's NY aunt is also good at keep secrets and doesn't put enough effort in convincing her niece to stop hiding the truth... She is also responsible for being a participant in hiding the truth which leads to further complications..
The leading lady's tomboy friend believes blindly whatever she says.. The fact that leading lady misunderstands a lot of situations and accuses the leading man with many wrong accusations ,it also believed by her.. I wish she made the leading lady see sense in some later situations but that doesn't happen..
The leading man's half brother,the legitimate son of his father is good for nothing.. First of all he is not talented, not that hard working and always into women but keeps blaming the leading man for lack of professional progress..Blindly believes his actress girlfriend and acts stupidly.. When the actress is exposed he runs after the tomboy girl for love..
The Sirimantra Head's legitimate wife has two important tasks to do. One,keep blaming the leading man for all the company problems though the man issue is her son is not competent and skilled enough and second, try fixing her son with one of her socialite friend's daughter..
The leading man's hotelier friend knows how the leading man felt guilty of sleeping with a virgin and wanted to apologize to her. He also knows how much his friend loved the leading lady. But when he himself falls in love with the leading lady,he ditches his friend and never believes in him.. He can clear a lot of misunderstanding between the leading couple but never puts the effort.. He becomes nice to his former friend ie the leading man, only after he is convinced that he will never get the leading lady no matter what.. Until then his former friend was a foe to him...
All characters keep doing the same mistakes and never learn..

Revenge Lakorn with emotions,comedy,murders and family drama
This lakorn has the famous troupe - Revenge.Kudos to the entire cast. each and every cast member was perfect for their role and they played it well.
There was revenge,comedy,murders and family bonding... A large family of 3 brothers and 1 sister finally get their love by the end of the lakorn.
I loved the sibling, their parents and the house help.. They were nice..
The lead man had issues and in the middle episodes I felt like slapping his face hard.. He irritated me so much.. How can someone be so vengeful without trying to know the truth. I guess losing loved one immediately after marriage can make lose rationality.. But how can someone immediately fall for a look-a-like of dead wife? Don't they be curious to know how someone can match a dead person in looks so much. A little background check wouldnt hurt. The leading man had all the resources to run a background check and yet he doesn't do that... A person can so closely resemble someone only if that person is a twin of the dead or has undergone plastic surgery.. simple...
The leading lady is graceful and pitiful at the same time.. I think she should have just told everyone whats going on between her and p'kin so that she can get help. Both her and P'Kin needed help. The other family members were nice and they would have easily helped had they known how toxic their relationship can become... Thank god at least the second brother starts getting hints about the lead man's vengeful behavior.. Even he gets to know the complete truth pretty late....
I wish Tawan had told about her pregnancy to Kin early on. He did love her and her pregnancy would have made him more gentle towards her and compel him to convey his feelings towards her.... Hiding pregnancy won't do any good... She would have never been pushed and pulled and the man would stop chasing the look alike and start caring for her.
I wish the lakorn writers give some intelligence to the Male lead and some to Female lead as well..I am happy that all ended well. Baby was fine and the couple made up...
The Vice president and his secretary's romance was so much fun... The comedy was very much needed... The Doctor son was the most sane person among the brothers.. Their Mom was fantastic too...

Feel good drama which has everything needed for entertainment
This is my first lakorn of Kimmy and Boy and they dont disappoint.Boy was wonderful in action scenes and he has perfect body language needed for a tough cop.
Kimmy looked pretty and acted well.
A special mention to Yardthip Rajpal who played the second lead and also to Not Vorarit Fuangarome who played the gay manager Charlee.
The story had romance,suspense,action and a lot of drama. Not one episode was boring. Infact having only 12 episodes helped in keeping the story tight. It doesn't drag..
The romance between the lead actors as well as the second couple - Suer and Orn was good. There were a lot of cheesy lines and teases between the main leads. The constant bickering and fights were entertaining...
The drama has a good end and everyone gets what they deserved. The budget of the drama seemed good because the FL gets good wardrobe and a palatial house. Boy goods handsome in that rugged avatar. I bet he has worked hard for those action scenes...
Anyone wanting a wholesome entertainment should go for this...

Well to start with,I have to mention that this drama is superbly entertaining till the end.
The central character to this drama is Yamaneko meaning 'wildcat' played wonderfully by the talented Kamenashi Kazuya. This Yamaneko's antics make you crazy. He has athlete's foot so expect him in flipflops and rubbing his feet all the time. Secondly he is terrible(bad) singer who loves to sing but hates it when people point out this to him. I wonder how difficult it might have been for Kamenashi to sing that way,considering he is one of the best singers. Thirdly he loves cup noodles. When he is not doing anything,he will be eating cup noodles. Fourth, he occasionally pees in his pants and never accepts it. Fifth,wears cat hats that look so cute on him. Not to mention the weird glasses that he wears.
With all this eccentricity,he is amazingly intelligent and witty. He exposes crimes and criminals with vigor. Has heart of gold and wants japan to see sea of change.
What the good thing about the drama is that the crimes are exposed in a funny and hilarious way. There are cheeky one liners uttered by Yamaneko that make you smile.Never in the drama you will feel bored or sad.
This drama is basically a mystery drama at its core. You will have goosebumps every-time twists and turns unfold. You need to watch the drama till the end to uncover the mystery.
Kamenashi Kazuya is a versatile actor. He has diplayed wide range of emotions in this drama. Along with Kamenashi Kazuya,Narimiya Hiroki as Katsumura Hideo
Hirose Suzu as Takasugi Mao are important characters. The rest of the support cast is excellent. The drama is made on good budget and the product has turned out to be excellent.
This drama definitely needs a sequel.
There are lot of interesting things in this drama that I have purposely left out. You need to watch them.
PS : In episode 6,you will find Nobuta re-union. Horakita Maki will make a cameo.

Mindblowing performances by the three lead actors - Kazuya Kamenashi(Shuji),Tomohisa Yamashita(Akira) and Maki Horikita(Nobuko/Nobuta). The young actors have so much understanding of their characters.Can't think,at their age,I was so intelligent and understanding. Kudos to them.Out of the three my favorite is Kazuya Kamenashi. He looks so handsome. He shows his three dimensional side too well.
Kazuya Kamenashi plays the role of Shuji who is the most popular guy in the school. He wants to make everyone happy and keep up his popularity.
Tomohisa Yamashita plays a eccentric guy Akira who wants to be friends with Shuji. Though he is rich,he likes to live like dime on street.
One fine day he meets a shy and introvert girl Nubiko who gets contantly bullied in school.Though Shuji acts cool in front of his classmates,he and his friend Akira try to build Nobuko's confidence and make her a popular girl so that no one bullies her. After several persuasion and inspiration from these two guys,she starts putting effort in changing herself.
A deep friendship starts building between these three and they do lots of activities to promote her popularity.
This drama is about friendship between three people.There is no melodrama or over the top scenes. Everything seems natural. The girl Nobuko(named as Nobuta) doesn't undergo any dramatic change. The change seems gradual and realistic. There is no heavy-duty romance and love triangle as such. The school premises are set realistically and change that happens in the three people's life is gradual. You can understand and feel all the three characters.
Its a rare gem. Very few stories are written so well.Acting is top notch. Though the support cast is good,the lead three actors shine in their roles.
Also,it needs to be mentioned that the theme song "Seishun Amigo" is sung by the two male leads who are also pop idols. The song is great and it is picturised with two cute pigs(anime).
