Episode 2 in which our nang-ek (male lead) Siva gets entangled in a web of his own devising, our clever heroine Palai continues in her quest for revenge, (resembling Rasika more and more), and we get a chilling look at our antagonist Rasika's true nature.

Good actors, an intriguing premise (a kind girl with a birthmark loves an immature, but beautiful guy). What could go wrong? Plenty as it turns out. Zhong Wu Yen could have been great. But the power couple of Ming Dao and Cheryl Yang lack chemistry together, not to mention the seriously lackluster second half with plenty of filler material.

It's been a while since I had one of these posts. This post mainly covers Korean, Taiwanese dramas and lakorns airing in July through October, and some are unconfirmed.

No Japanese dramas sparked my interest this time, so I'm skipping them.

Episode 2 or Mr. Dumb meets Tweedledee and Tweedledum. There's also a burgeoning moment of awareness, some great slap downs by Arunprapai to Mr. Dumb and Bproong, plus a fashion show pitting Bproong against Arunprapai. Mia Taeng continues to interest and amuse me.

This is a question that has no answer

I feel I have changed OH~ Who changed me?

Current Music: "Momo" Farenheit

2ne1 could learn what being "fierce" really means from Nit. Khing Kor Rar Khar Kor Rang has one of the fiercest female characters I've seen in any drama. Period. She's very much flawed, but also full of sass, and bullheaded enough to break bones. (For alliteration purposes)

The OTP smokes, burns and sizzles. The mom's a freaking nutjob. And we have a trio of ~~bitches~~ witches straight out of Macbeth. My review of KKRKKR lies under the cut.

"Never, there will never be a day that I will back down for him."

Mia Taeng is the new lakorn in town, and it looks to be a fun and satisfying one (please don't start to drag!). It stars Rome Patchata and Araya Chompoo as a couple who get married due to their parents wishes. Araya is cool, calm and collected, while Rome's the hot tempered playboy.

Robert Browning said it best. “Never the time, and the place, and the loved one all together.” Isn't that the truth? But sometimes, it is the right time, and place for love and in episode 11, Momo and Mars are able to be together. At least, for the moment. It's one of my favorite episodes, so beautifully shot, and full of emotion.

Episode 9 left off on a cliffhanger. Mars asks Momo, “Do you like me?” Come on Momo, you can say what's in your heart. Don't listen to your conscience, don't listen to others, don't... Sign. As Shakespeare said, the course of true love never did run smooth.

Ikemen Desu Ne is You're Beautiful condensed, plus a pinch of slurpy cliche-ridden subplot.
