365 Days of Love Episode 14 recap

Mar. 6th, 2011 10:20 pm
"Before I never felt relieved,
I was alone and lonely, I had no one beside me.
I go through life encountering every danger,
I go through rain and wind alone."

'

"But today I get to associate with you,
Being with you gives my heart strength.
We will continue to walk and refuse to stop.
If I walk and make a mistake, I'll still have you."
(From song "Row Mee Row" link here)

A solid lakorn, with good directing and great acting by Anne and Ken. Here's hoping for more lakorns from them both! And together please? Pretty please? I think I'll leave it at that with some of the beautiful music from this lakorn.

365 Days of Love Episode 12 recap

Feb. 20th, 2011 05:45 pm

I only think of you
This heart of mine is searching for you
Forever Cause baby
No matter how far we split apart
My heart is always with you but baby boy

("Hanasanaideyo"  by Soulja featuring Aoyama Thelma)

 

( More please... )

 
No matter how much I want to see you, I can't
Please tell me why
I hate this
Baby I know this is selfish, but
Hug me and never let go
Embrace this loneliness and smash it
I want you to be by my side

     ("Hanasanaideyo"  by Soulja featuring Aoyama Thelma)

365 Days of Love Episode 11 recap - Character Study

Feb. 13th, 2011 11:33 pm

One of the reasons I made this blog is to improve my writing skills, so I'm trying a lot of different things with the recaps. Episode 11 has a lot of beautiful scenes. There are also a lot of character changes and growth in this episode, so I will be focusing on the characters of this lakorn.

365 Days of Love Episode 10 - Q & A time

Feb. 7th, 2011 09:04 pm

Four more episodes to go and then it's the end of the 365 Days of Love recaps. I've been wondering what to recap next. Or maybe review. I don't want to do anything that popular, haha, since it would already have lots of stuff done on it. Maybe some little known Korean, Japanese, or Taiwanese series. Oh well, let's finish this one first.

( Q&A time )
I'm struck, as usual, by Lan's or should I say, Ann's acting abilities. She makes Lan such a vulnerable character and since all the other lakorns of hers I've watched had her playing strong spirited women, Sawan Bieng, Oum Ruk, Soot Saneha, it's so fascinating to see her play such a different character.

365 Days of Love Episode 9

Jan. 31st, 2011 08:46 pm

What a lovely episode. Finally, the case that has been mentioned about since practically the beginning of this lakorn comes into play, and Lan really begins to be a character to root for. Not to mention the music and direction. I loved the shots below, starting with a picture of the moon and then fading to the two lovers entwined on the bed.

I haven't talked much about things like direction, music, etc., but I feel this is really one of the better directed lakorns I've seen. The director really knows how to frame a scene and I have no complaints about the music or cinematography. Magnificent.

365 Days of Love Episode 8 recap: A Needy Time

Jan. 25th, 2011 07:42 pm

I had a hard time with this recap. Writer's block? Nothing interesting happening? Anticipation for episode 9? I don't know. It just didn't seem to give me something to hold onto, some defining concept of what happened, until I went and started on the screen-shots. And I saw that this episode is really about  . . . the joy in a needy time. The silver lining in the cloud, if you will. A moment that makes things better . . . for a moment, just a moment. A needy time.



And joy comes well in such a needy time: (Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, scene 5)

( A Needy Time... )

Mini-review of 365 Days of Love so far: I think it really made Lan think and mature when she was separated from Toon for a while. If episodes 1- 4 set up the background of the series and the basis of the troubles between Toon and Lan, episodes 5- 8 go into more depth about the psychology behind why they behave the way they do.

I really like the discussion of marriage in this lakorn and what it takes to be in a committed relationship. And I must say, Ann as Lan is WOW! She's sooo vulnerable, prickly and not necessarily all that likable, but in the coming episodes I grow to love her more and more.

365 Days of Love Episode 7 - A pictorial recap

Jan. 16th, 2011 10:25 pm
I have a whole written recap planned, but decided to scratch it at the last moment and instead make this a recap of pictures. So it's more picture intensive than usual. The reason why is this episode really just sets the stage for the latter episodes, and though I appreciate that it's necessary, a lot of it seems likes what we've seen before, except hiked up to a whole new level of angst.



Episode 7 starts with Toon and Lan thinking about calling each other (she's at her mom's, he's at their home), but neither does.

365 Days of Love Episode 6 recap - Speechless

Jan. 9th, 2011 04:58 pm



I'm speechless
Can't believe it's over now
Why did we take this route
happily never after

I'm speechless
Feelin' far from sober now
I'm gonna be hung over now
'cause nothin' else matters

Should I drink my tears away
There's nothin' left to say
But let's just hope for a better tomorrow

(From "I'm Speechless" by Jay Park and Cha Cha)

365 Days of Love Episode 5 recap

Jan. 3rd, 2011 02:23 pm
I seriously fought with myself as I wanted to put  more pics of Ken (Toon) in shower at the top of this post. But fortunately, logic held sway and I present to you the many different expressions of Ann, playing Lai in this lakorn. And really, it's not all about Ken and his good looks. The lakorn is really about Lai and the wonderful combo team of Ken and Ann. (Besides, I can put those pictures at the end of this post.)

365 Days of Love Episode 4 recap

Dec. 25th, 2010 05:50 pm


This episode is all about Toon. Toon's experiencing what Lan has since the lakorn's beginning: jealousy. So please forgive the Toon-centricness of the pics today. Plus, I love taking pics of him, he's so handsome.

( Episode 4 recap... )

Review of 365 Days of Love so far: I'm liking the fact that for once Toon's jealous, and the acting of the leads, but the same ol' situations keep showing up, with Lan's jealousy making them argue, then they make up. Been there, seen that. Thankfully, things start to change a little and pick up, especially in episode 7. Right now, I'm only tolerating Lan's character because of Ann's acting, but it's only when she starts to mature and grow that I begin to like Lan
