Kaew Tah Pee (2006)

Honestly I grew up watching this lakorn as a kid and in my opinion I loved it, but after re-watching it now today I found it understandable how others may not like it. BUT I just want to tell that this lakorn follows all the cliche scenes you would see in other lakorns. You have the evil ex-girlfriend, the obsessive annoying ex-boyfriend, and then more evil characters. Then you have the pran'ek and niang'ek who goes through a lot of misunderstandings but in the end, you get your anticipated ending. There are sweet scenes, angering scenes, sad scenes, but this is what makes it a lakorn. This lakorn is worth the watch even though it may be a bit old cause it's in 2006 but you know what if some parts are boring just fast-forward and watch those better scenes lol. When i say better scenes i'm talking about the lovey-dovey interactions between the lead characters and the scenes when the niang'ek kickass (which is rarely but oh well)

I don't know how helpful my review was but this is just my opinion its up to you if you want to watch it or not. But if you do watch it I hope you enjoy it :) and that it does't disappoint much.

This drama almost made me go insane... The blasphemously bad story, incredibly frustrating character decisions and the most horrible OST I've ever heard, combined create a drama that you will never forget... in a bad way. Overall I will give it 5/10, because for some reason I did watch it to the end. :D

PROS:
- The story unfolds mostly in Paris and they do a nice job of visiting all the famous tourist spots.
- This drama makes for a great drinking game. You can't watch it sober and you can take a drink every time you hear the main theme song playing (once every 2 minutes).

CONS:
- The lead male character is a HORRIBLE PERSON. In the end you wish the lead female would run away as far as possible.
- The way the portray a blind person is very, very lazily researched and unrealistic. It makes the drama painful to watch at some points.
- The entire story is based on misunderstandings. Doesn't make for an interesting plot and even worse, they try to keep the story going for a long time using the same misunderstanding again and again.

IN A NUTSHELL: Do not watch this unless you are bored out of your mind and you have nothing else to watch.

Watch it if you're fan of Tik, even being his fan doesn't stop you go insane, Have never seen any other lakorn other than this one with bad cast.
I don't think there's any chemistry between Tik and the other lady.

Nat's ex fiance's wife keeps accusing her running after her husband while it's vice versa,  The main guy's married ex gf doesn't go anywhere but always hangs around the main couple , his lawyer's delusional wife & daughter trying to break the couple with the help of the ex fiance and the other delusional wife of the boyfriend.


God help the ones who wants to the watch this lakorn

If you value your blood pressure and sanity, don't watch this serial!

I’ve never reviewed a serial before but watching this drama served as such an infuriating experience that I just had to write a review on it. There are many reasons why I gave this serial an overall rating of 1 star out of 10.

Reason # 1 - The Characterization, especially that of the leading characters. The male protagonist acts like a spoiled brat throughout the serial. He has a sadistic twisted personality - he keeps on “testing” the heroin as if she’s some kind of a lab rat. He constantly plays mind games with her, throws tantrums and tries to invade her personal space. He tricks her into marrying him and then starts having trust issues with her which isn't surprising at all as they get married after barely knowing one another for only 3-4 weeks. He exploits her kindness and also misuses his visual impairment to treat her like his personal slave than his wife. After having a successful eye surgery and regaining his sight, he pretends to act blind to keep on testing her. Although he boastfully claims to be a good judge of character, he is unable to distinguish between his wife's fidelity and his ex-girlfriend's connivance. He is so easily swayed by his ex-girlfriend despite knowing what she is capable of and keeps on suspecting his wife for being unfaithful to him even though their marriage is fake. He not only suspects his wife but keeps on torturing her by shunning her constantly and tossing biting remarks at her. There are many moments between episodes where he tries to act playful and romantic but I found it annoying because he was just smothering her personal space and making her uncomfortable. For example, he forces her to take off his clothes and help him wash his body, the tasks which he could accomplish very well himself as this scene takes place after the surgery.

The female lead doesn't make this serial less insufferable either. She is too naïve and is prone to getting fooled easily by the people around her. Rather than learning a lesson from her ex-boyfriend’s betrayal, she decides to proceed with signing a marriage certificate with a man she barely knows. Everyone keeps on ordering her around and she is too eager to acquiesce to their demands herself. She is unable to stand up for herself and lets everyone take advantage of her which further contributes to the audience's frustrations.

Reason # 2: The Villains - it is necessary for any drama to have antagonistic characters as someone is required to create obstacles in the story to present a conflict which is built up and then resolved in the end. But in this drama, more than half of the cast has a negative role, it has a coterie of villains which is so obsessed with the leading couple and has so much free time on its hands that it follows the couple all the way to France to make the couple (mostly the heroin) miserable. The villains are too powerful and cunning, completely antithetical to the dim witted leading couple, even a child is able to tell which person has malignant intentions and which doesn't but these two grown adults can't.

Reason # 3: The quality of the script - the characterization and the overall script were also poor and lacked depth as this drama used tropes like the naïve persecuted heroin, the persistent ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends and the jealous wife who would choose to remain insecure and keep on chasing her unfaithful husband for the rest of her life rather than I don’t know, divorcing him?

By the end, I really wished that the female lead would grow a backbone of her own and would at least leave her pathetic husband behind and start anew but sadly it was just wishful thinking.

This is completely personal likings...no hate towards me plz

I watched this drama in a dubbed language and the music that was added into the drama was much better than the original, so I like watching the dubbed version more. It's still the same, just in a different language and a little tweaks here and there. I understand why people would hate this drama so much. The male lead was a complete asshole, and he treated her miserably. The female lead was also a little dumb too. She was too nice and got tricked. Personally, I like watching dramas where the male lead completely mistreats the female lead because in the end he's always wrong and get's a taste of loss. This drama is nostalgia to me, and I understand why people wouldn't like it, but it's personal preference. The villains in this drama was annoying. but they were tolerable to me. I like seeing the ex-boyfriend and his wife bicker. I like Lizzy's acting so much. Playing the villain and watching the villain is much more entertaining. Honestly, without the villains in this drama, the drama would be very boring and plain. The friend and the kid were also a great duo. I'm glad that the friend was also so against Chisanu and actually sided with the female lead. He tried to actually talk sense into the male lead whether he listened or not.
