My first drama review!!! I decided to follow a certain template and I try to be as spoiler-free as possible. I rate dramas as follows: Wow, Great, Good, Okay, Mediocre, Poor, and Awful. I just recently finished watching this 2008 Thai lakorn Awayjee See Chompoo so decided to start with a review of it. Enjoy!


Review under cut... )

Melancholy meet cute. Evil vs Good. Haha, I couldn't have picked two more disparate lakorns if I had tried to. I mean look at these cover pictures!

         vs            

And yes, that's a hand there, stretched menacingly towards May (played by Kwan Usamanee) and Peempob (played by uh?). Basically, Meu Nang (aka Mother's Hand) is about the events that befalls May after her mother dies in a car accident. Her mother's hand is severed from her body and her husband takes it and (gulps) keeps it.

And then there's the horde of pink in Awajee See Chompoo's picture. Awajee See Chompoo is a sweet little lakorn about a high school girl who marries an older guy due to her dying mother's wishes.  Both lakorns are being subbed on viki.com, but aren't finished yet.

Why is it the dramas I'm watching these days have something to do with Romeo & Juliet? There's Guilty, a Japanese drama, but the only thing that's really Romeo and Juliet like about it is the ending with the kiss. And recently, I've been watching Duang Jai Akkanee. The lakorn was pretty popular and spawned a hot new young couple,  Nadech Kugimiv and  Urassaya Sperbund (Yaya). I've been hearing a lot about this couple and the lakorn, so I wanted to check it.
