Wong Wien Hua Jai (2009)

I really enjoyed watching this lakorn, and would really love to see Pinky and Weir act together again! Their chemistry was so awesome!

I guess to some this is lakorn really is overly dramatic, and I agree with that. The storyline takes many twists and turns, your mind is just going WHAT WHAT WHAT all the time. Sometimes you want to just tell Bow (Pinky) to calm down and just SEE WHAT SHE HAS IN FRONT OF HER! Then there Tos (Weir) who loves his sister a lot and would do ANYTHING for her. But then Bow comes along and he falls in love with her at first sight. He is the perfect P'ek (lead guy). Jealous, irrational, caveman and sweet as cotton. I'm not lying when I say he is CRAZY for Bow, really CRAZY. Some of the stuff he did to her I was not a happy viewer but at the end it was all good. I LOVED it when he smiled at her and calls her tee ruk (darling/my love) its so freaking adorable!

The side characters do get annoying. Some her there for comic relief and some are there to cause you so much HATRED and ANGER that you REALLY WANT TO GO INTO THAT SCREEN OF YOURS AND SLAP THE CRAP OUTTA THEM BECAUE THEIR SO ANNOYING!

It's a very entertaining drama to watch and definitely has all the elements of a thai lakorn. I would recommend you to watch a few episodes and give it a try, especially if your new to lakorns. The main soundtrack in this is STUNNING, when I heard it I literally played it on repeat for months.

I have to apologize beforehand, because this review turned out to be rather extrem in its words - but I really couldn't help myself on this one.....

This is probably - no, definitely - the worst lakorn I've ever watched!!!
Starting Ep 8, I was really concerned how they were going to rectify everything in the end. Then a shimmer of hope, only to be crushed in the last 3-4 episodes and with it every possibility for a satisfying happy end. By Ep 14 I just hoped for Bow to either commit suicide (yes, that's how much I hated the plot!) or just leave everything behind and start a new life without her stupid family, crazy husband and pretty much everyone else in this drama. I managed to keep watching until the middle of Ep 15 but then I had to stop before I really threw my laptop out of the window!
The only really likeable person in this whole messed up sh** was Bow and as I said before, I would have rather seen her dead than seeing her in this ending - she deserves soooo much more than this!

-------------------

Okay, I forced myself to watch the complete lakorn despite my hate for it.
And I have to take one thing back - in the first half of Ep 16 her father totally redeems himself and says everything I want to tell Bow myself! Bravo Pa :)

rape is not romance.

Seduction, jealousy and lies take our female lead from overseas homecoming and traumatic cheating fiance, into the clutches of conniving sister and insane brother act 'toxic team entitled'. Where bystander silence masks inhumanity, male lead anger justifies sexual assault, and female lead family-stupidity unconscionable results. Abused mentally and physically by the male lead, both lead's families, friends, and employees - The female lead spends most of this drama being everyone's scapegoat, punching bag and misjudged victim. The male lead's words below, clinched this review. Rape is not romance, and does not belong in the romance genre. Avoid.

ML: "Or do you want to rape me too? Just like how I did to you is fine." The male lead says smiling, trying to get the female lead to take him back.

This Drama was 7.5/10 for me. The plot was good, but it could have been better. The ML and FL chemistry in the Drama was really cute but I feel like when you reach up to episode 8 all the bad things just went down hill for their relationship from the evil sister to the next door neighbor psycho girl. The kidnapping and rape I hated that part in it near and in the end they made fun of him raping her which was a way turnoff hated it. The ending was to plain to my liking. I was so fustrated with the FL ex-boyfriend (who cause everything in the being & needed a serious hair cut, like seriously he looked like a mop ), the evil sister ( she was so annoying), the psycho next door neighbor girl( she was desperate and obsessive over the ML). The ML I understand his love for his sister, but you put all your trust in her and she constantly lied to you and didn't truth one word from your wife. Bow around episode 9 till 11 she was falling for Tos but he only putting his sister first, yes I understand she was sick and everything but still. Chai (tos best friend) he was the best he was soo funny. Overall the Drama is watchable.

Not possessive male lead but certainly psychotic. Not cute.

Long story short. They series is the embodiment of Stockholm syndrome with pretty decorations. To elaborate, a guy who is overprotective of his sister wants to make her happy, so he decides to entrap the woman who is a threat to it.
In the process of this he manipulates the situation which interns forced her into a relationship which she try to escape, literally, like trap on an island type escape, at every turn. The writers attempted to make this a romantic series because they possibly thought the concept was cute but this was the most toxic thing that I have ever seen.

Biggest spoiler below: be warned


Imagine your boyfriend cheats on you and impregnate someone else. He is apologizing to you and trying to get back into a relationship with you. The side chicks brother decides to force the guy to stay with his sister. To do that he lies and slander’s you in front of your parents to entrap you into a relationship with him so you are no longer available to date your ex. He likes you up or keeps you in a place where you have no idea where you are, limit your contact with anyone on the outside and acts like you were actually in a relationship for real. All this happens while you are seriously trying to get away. In the process of you trying to get away he charms you enough to make you like them. And then you escape and he comes for you and we get a happily ever after. What a load of garbage. This is so many forms of a legal I can’t even begin to describe it. Yes we see stuff like this all the time and historical films but this is stuff that actually happened during that error this however is so toxic it is awful.

Forced marriages is something that I have watched often in many series but never one on this caliber where the individuals movement is restricted, contact with others is limited and they actually feel trapped, manipulated, played and isolated. It was like a lifetime show or snapped with a happy ending.
