Ton Ruk Rim Rua (2013)

As you already seen the synopsis of this show, this drama says the story of two best friends who grownup together and they getting into marriage without love, then how they finds their own feelings in each situations.

Kob is the playful guy who always jokes around with everyone so no one understands his true feelings other than his parents ( you have to see his father in this show, he is the main reason of Kob’s personality. Bcoz his father is a playful guy and he always treats kob as a friend and plays with him, he never gets serious in this show, even when kob is sad )

Bua is a girl who always plans everything before doing it. And she wants a perfect life with good job position and a good husband who treats her as an angel. So she doesn’t like Kob’s playful character. She finds her boss’s Cousin Brother P’Tin as the ideal man of her dream and try’s to convey her love to him. P’Tin also loves her soo much. So he confess his love to her. When she is actually married to Kob.

Kob loves Bua soo much but he hides it inside, as he don’t want her to find his true self. Bcoz she thinks he is a playful guy and not serious about anything in his life. And their is also a big problem in Kob’s life which is called Tang Kwa, she is the girl who loves Kob from his school days and she follows him everywhere. When he went to foreign country to study, she followed him there too. And she thinks Kob is her own property and no one can have him. But at the end she realize that waiting for Kob will never change his love for Bua.

I have to say this, while watching the show you will definitely hate Bua for making our Kob to be sad and cry. Even tough Tang Kwa is the main villain in the show, more than her, Bua ‘s character will make you hate her more than Tang Kwa. The other actors are well played. Parents of Kob and Bua are too cute. Then Bua’s Office friends are funny. Boss is the woman who always believes her husband more than anything. And so she gets hurt bcoz of his cheating behavior.

Music - good for the show. Apt for the scenes
Story - enjoyable love story
Rewatch - can watch the funny moments of Kob and Bua’s family. Some office scenes too.
Overall - 8/10
Good drama and recommend for those who like easy funny love story without lot of emotional crying.

Ps- my fav is Kob and his father. Lot of scenes of them are lovable.

Watch Only for Mark and/or Kim If You Really Want To

DISCLAIMER: I watched this lakorn solely to see Mark Prin's early acting ability so my rating is likely a tad higher due to this bias.

Positives: I enjoyed seeing Marks early work here- as playful, caring and secretly in-love Kob. This is my first Mark-Kim drama and I really like their chemistry, they look so natural and cute together. No wonder there is a hype. The main plot of the story is really simple and common- childhood best friends realizing that they have fallen in love with each other at different points in time. Mark's acting is not as polished as now but you can already see that he is such a natural actor overflowing with potential. Kim did well as perky workaholic Bua, she kept me engaged in her scenes, I have no complaints. The supporting cast did well too even the villain roles. It was endearing and funny to watch Kob and Buas bickering parents. Sean as Tin was also good, I had SLS in many of his scenes.

Negatives: The script itself- plot and characters. There were too many villains ranging from annoying to downright vile. Several unbelievable scenarios. ML was made to be naive/gullible and in some scenes. I hated Jane character the most not just with her interaction with the ML but also with the support characters- just unnecessary. Of course who could stand the usual tropes, they have them all here- jealous SFL, sweet SML, SLS-inducing love triangle, kidnapping, attempted rape, scheming gold digger, unfaithful side characters and goon fights resulting to ML ending up with a gunshot and of course a rushed happy ending. The icing- you get rewarded with one forehead kiss for watching the entire series.

In conclusion, only watch if you really would like to see Mark and/or Kim, otherwise it's a pass- don't waste your time.
