Yai Kanlaya (2014)

A pretty simple drama lakorn. Not much fighting, conflict or even revenge. Just talking to a ghost (more like a spirit) and let it possess your body. Mostly you can guess what the story will continue next. What I like the most in this lakorn is its OST (Yakh Bork Ruk) sang by the main casts itself. There aren't much lakorns where its OST is done by the cast from the story. If you are a music lover especially Thai songs, this is one of the best song that I would like to recommended. For me, it's a smooth with good melody song. Overall, I would watch it only once but you guys can still give it a try. No harm watching it, lol,

A Flawed but Good Watch

I have just completed the show 1 minute ago, and overall it was a pleasant watch for the most part. Although it did have its flaws. I will try to make this review in bullet form in order- for it to be easy to read and hopefully help future potential viewers.

Things I did not enjoy:

-The drama episodes were further cut into smaller parts until there were around 28 or so episodes. I don't really care about the quality of the videos for older dramas but the way in which the episodes were cut — it was obvious that some scenes were lost. This can clearly be seen when the next part begins playing and they are talking about something you have no idea about.

- The female lead was childlike. There was also an episode where her outfits were also childlike. Moreover, she always began crying over just about anything.

- Finally, the biggest issue I have with this drama is how the father and the ML treated the ghost mother (Kanlaya). Even though they knew she spent 20 years still roaming around being with them in spirit form because she couldn't let go — they did not try to get her point of view at all. In fact, the father who was harping about being faithful to his deceased wife suddenly fell in love with her best friend. The ML even bluntly kept acting as she should just move on and reincarnate. They both kept understanding and worrying about the feelings of living women, but forgot to care to find out or talk to their dead mother and wife. I don't know, it just did not sit right with me. It was real disrespectful lmao...

Things I enjoyed:

- The casting was good. Everyone fit their role perfectly.

- The OST was nice to the ears. Even though there was only one song sung by the leading cast, I did not get bored hearing it.

- There was not exactly much of an obstacle in the romantic relationship between the FL and the ML. I appreciated that.

Be warned:
- You won't get any kiss or skinship scenes. The most you will get is small air pecks on the cheeks in the last episode or so.
