what in the lakorn
If youre looking for a nice soapy lakorn to soak in some melodrama, look no further. It's hard for me to review this objectively since I don't do lakorns or any soap opera in general, so this was a lot for me, but I'll do my best to rate it for what it was.
I started watching this after watching Laws of Attraction, I needed more JamFilm in my life because their chemistry is just fire. On that end, I have to say I wish there was more. There were sweet moments throughout the series, little bits of romance, but this drama was less about the relationship between Thian (Film) and Jiu (Jam), and more heavily focused on the big family drama. I personally would have liked more cute relationship development, but I understand that it's probably not what they were going for.
I'm sure all soaps are like this, but it was a whole lot of "okay but if you just communicated" or "was this actually really necessary" and a lot of "oh look, they're still alive". And boy did they go hard with the long drawn out dramatic scenes, I'd be interested to watch an edited version where they just shorten the overdramatics down a bit, I feel like the episodes would be half as long.
The characters were pretty good, I think they were all lovable in their own ways, but none of them really had your heart, ah except for Yang (Tongtong). I won't lie I went into this thinking Film was going to steal my heart again, but here comes Tongtong and sweeps you off your feet. The way they did sibling relationships in this show was 10/10, to be honest it's what got me through this show. I won't do spoilers but I will say they won't hurt you in this one.
So if you just need a soapy weekend sprinkled with some sweet bl, grab some popcorn, keep your finger on that skip forward button, and enjoy!
