The first Thai lakorn I've watched this year. In fact, the only new Thai lakorn I've watched this year and my second Thai lakorn review. Ah! Look at the sparkly good looks. Pretty.
Also, cheating here, but teaser 6: Guess Who? There's a familiar face in here.
Watching Now: Ka Kaung Kon Episodes 7, 8
Apr. 22nd, 2011 07:30 pmAh, what joy and happiness a child can bring. Also chaos, terror, fear, and calamity as well. No, I'm not speaking from personal experience (thank you!), but from the lakorn Ka Kaung Kon.
Watching Now: Ka Kaung Kon Episodes 5 & 6
Mar. 22nd, 2011 10:24 pm"I think I'm fallin' in love
I think I'm in love with you
I want to give all my love only to you,
Even if it means I throw all of me away."
Well, in case it wasn't apparent from the pictures, love's in the air in episodes 5 and 6 of Ka Kaung Kon with both love confessions, an engagement and disavowals of love. By the way, these aren't recaps, so I'm leaving out many things, just focusing on what I want to talk about.
At this point, I'm wondering at all this angst for something that doesn't need to happen, Gluay and Luck's parting. After all, they're both available, so why can't she just stay married to him? But I think the feelings are too new and they haven't known each other very long either, probably a few months at best. So it makes sense that both are being cautious.

Watching Now: Ka Kaung Kon Episodes 4

Then there's the fighting and bickering between the leads, but it's interspersed with moments of tenderness. There's a lot more attempts at characters to talk and understand each other earlier than I'm used to in most dramas.
So far, I've watched three episodes of Ka Kaung Kon starring Pong Nawat and Noon Woranuch. The title in English means “A Person's Worth/Value.” I've watched Pong and Noon in other lakorns and liked them both. Plus, one of my favorite stories, a marriage by a contract. First episode, bleh, second, dawning interest, and by the third episode, anticipation and interest.
So what can I say? A striking couple, she's not weeping 24/7 anymore, thank you, and a pra'ek on the road to love, with a not so enamored nang'ek? I'm there. Oh, yeah I'm there.

10. Wanida - (Thai lakorn)
This really wouldn't have made it to the list except for one factor. I call it the "Tik" factor. Really, this shouldn't be on the list at all. I mean, I liked the music, the sets, the clothes, but if only I had liked the plot which was riddled with cliches, stupid plot points or the heroine Wanida. Still, lovely scenery.
