Sai Lub Rak Puan (2016)

Why a 9/10 ?
It's one of those feel good drama. This lakorn would definitely need a parody tag (spy genre mainly). Yes, the best way to describe this is a parody. And you have to watch it this way to truly enjoy it. When I first read the synopsis, I feared there would be little to no romance. It's actually quite the contrary. Ran and Din are very sweet together, all the more after they marry. Romance is central in this action and comedy drama.

Parody: spy genre
The couple meets in the first episode, so Din still has to seduce Ran. For that, he uses all kind of tricks. On that note, the police devices could easily earn this lakorn a science-fiction tag! And once they marry he still has to hide his identity. This leads to a lot of misunderstandings, funny and stressful alike, which could be dangerous given his job. But don't worry because Din is a super-cop. I mean, he can fight and still call his wife while evading gunshots! Also, sometimes criminals just act so stupid that it's funny.

Parody: romance
On the romance part, it's the same, also a parody. The evil mother-in-law tries to get her daughter to break up with Din. Usually, she'd stop when the two lovers marry, right? Not here. She tries to get her daughter to DIVORCE him, LOL. She's dead set on finding another potential son-in-law who would agree to seduce a married woman. Nothing could stop her.

Side characters
I liked them all, even the bad guys. Not one of them was boring, which was a first for me. I did notice their stories often were more developped in thai dramas, it's especially true here.

Overall
This was truly an enjoyable lakorn. I'll recommend it to anyone who is in a bad mood. Sometimes, I did fast-forward a little because of a flashbacks overuse in some episodes, mainly the last one. Usually, I end up rating romcoms between 7 and 8/10. If this one is an exception, it's mainly for one reason : I laught a lot.

"Sai Lub Rai Ruk Puan" is a romantic action comedy thai-lakhorn from 2016 starring the veteran actors Andrew Gregson as the undercover government spy Din Saopong and Ploy Boonyasak as the sweethearted rich heiress Ran. Din meets Ran at the start of this story while on a mission and both quickly feel attracted to each other.Strong feelings of love starts to develop when they start to date and they eventually marry despite Ran`s mother despising Din on sight because of his status.But the obstacles becomes even more messier when Din has to do everything to hide his real occupation which leads to more misunderstandings that threatens to tear their marriage apart.

I love romantic stories about married couples.Din and Ran are both kind of a odd pair,but they worked so well together with their different personalities.Both wants the best for the other,they are so undenyable cute together and very passionate when it comes to love-making,LOL!The episode where Din tried everything to get Ran pregnant was hilarious! Both are also very vulnerable and can become insecure very quickly when the other partner doesn`t behave normally.Ran and Din are both very possessive of each other which gave show for angst and adorable jealous scenes.Din`s bestfriends and colleague`s Rock and Cookie are wonderful characters.It was fun seeing Golf on-screen and watching him play a fun charming character like Rock who finds his first love in Taen,a photographer who cathes cheaters.We get a fun second-couple in them.We also have several villians bringing in trouble all the time,all the more relief when they finally lose in the end.It was worth it watching this lakhorn for all the fun and excitement,i especially appreciate the on-screen chemistry between Andrew and the very stunning Ploy!
