So it’s a pet peeve of mine when I watch Asian dramas especially Thai dramas. Somehow people who like s@x are always shown as villains especially for women. The female lead is shown as a saintly Madonna who just puts up with s@x for the man she loves. The anti female is one who like s@x but she is a super villain. Why are we still perpetuating these myths. I also think these are so very ableist. As someone who has stayed with people (women especially are prone to suffer from chronic pain a lot more) who have fibromyalgia or anything else, this attitude is just more upsetting for people who are unable to be more active even if they wanted to. And this is also harmful to women especially since I am a south Asian and I know how these stereotypes have hurt women including acid attacks or honour killing.
Rant aside, the leads had amazing chemistry. I don’t mind fake kisses since I am south Asian and I do understand how actresses or actors may have boundaries regarding shooting certain scenes and I totally respect that. But the actress was very good with showing affection for the male lead and vice versa and it was cute. Most surprising though, I loved the sweet granny the most.
Another note to myself never judge by the cover. Watching Korean dramas where actors are sometimes chosen for looks and they cannot act (example Song Kang, Suzy Bae, Shin Se Kyung) it’s interesting to see Thai actors who are gorgeous also act well. The male actor did a really good job. Another girl who did an amazing job was the very beautiful British Thai girl in Gap. This has taught me not to assume actors who are good looking wont be great at acting. That’s why I am enjoying watching Thai dramas more since the actors combine looks with talent and it’s refreshing to watch.
