Love Upon a Time
12 episodes
When this drama first started, I wasn’t sure it would keep my full attention, but thankfully I was wrong. While some actors didn’t quite match the chemistry of their co-stars, the overall experience was still enjoyable. Setting aside the silliness of Klao’s character and focusing on the drama, beautiful cinematography, and traditional attire made it easy to overlook his antics. I loved how even a simple scene like bathing in a historical setting became an OMG moment. The series also touched on the opium crisis in history and its devastating effects, which added depth. It covered everything I find fascinating about Thai culture.
My favorite characters were:
🔥🔥🔥 Phop (past and present – excellent acting)
🌻🌻🌻 Kaew (past and present – gorgeous and talented)
*** Jom (past and present)
Credit to the screenwriters May Piangpaitoon Satrawaha and Porndee Satrawaha for their excellent work. My only drawback was the casting; while many Thai dramas pair established couples, sometimes one actor excels at expressions while the other lacks subtlety or overacts, which can break the scene’s ambiance. For me, the lead pairings here were just mediocre, so I couldn’t rate it higher than 9/10.
