Just finished all three lakorns of this story. In fact I watched the 1999 and 2008 twice! The warmth, yet intensity of the story is why I called it a classic. You can watch it 30 years from now and it will still resonate. Each actor/actress brought their characters to life. You could feel and touch who they were. And the angst they produced was perfect: not too overly dramatic yet kept you wanting more, wanting to jump into the screen and be there with them. The romance was the kind you long for, to read about, to envision. The ML couldn't help himself desiring to touch, to feel, to be near the FL and it was heart fluttering. I think overall I like the 2008 version the best. But both ML in the 1999 and 2008 were dreamy and alluring. I liked the FL in the 1999 version the best, but the 2008 version was very good too. You can't find a story and the overall acting that brings such an intensity, purity and passion like these old dramas. Everything seems so cold today when they try and remake something. Either they put goofy sound effects in or turn situations more comical that takes away the love story and passion behind it. The 2016 version completely lost its warmth and intensity. I was very disappointed. I think in today's culture they are afraid of offending someone so they have to water everything down. You can't even find this kind of passionate love story in America or Britain anymore. So I am very thankful for Thai lakorns and other Asian dramas. They have taken off where America has left behind. For all of you romance lovers out there, give it a try. The 1999 version isn't the best quality but the story has survived! Wish someone could re-download it with good quality and English subs!
