Peak Marn (2013)

This is the 4th version of the same story. Which is kinda fascinating as there's practically nothing to be called "story" in this one. A couple marries. A couple has a baby. A couple argues. Woman takes on younger lover. Or doesn't, even. The mother in-law is unsufferable, so they do divorce... or they don't, actually. Nothing much happens, really. Except talking. If I'd kept watching some of my married neighbours, I might get about as much "story", LOL. Tono Pakin is cute, no mistake there (he's the lead from 'Fatal Destiny'), he's like the most exciting thing in this whole bland "drama"... One should wish she'd start hot affair with him immediatelly with many steamy bed scenes so there would be something to watch, but unfortunatelly, this show is about static conversation going in circles. Even Mo Monchanok is bland in this. It takes 10 (hour long) episodes for something to actually happen, and you can guess what that would be (it's the 2nd most original thing right after amnesia), so you'd excuse me if I don't count it. So, as for me, still no story. And still no FUN. It's almost admirable to create series this lifeless with such cast. Tono Pakin's younger admirer even does couple of things that would move any woman with some blood in her veins to finally go for him without care. She remains poised and lukewarm towards him. Goes to fight with her ex-mother-in-law, instead... The story about unhappily married woman with younger lover is kinda even more stupid when they're not really lovers (there's big divorce case running in newspapers, and it's not even worth it). The only asset of this lakorn is the goodlooking cast, most characters are really pittiable and it is not a cheerful watch. There's also not single 1 good kiss scene or good romance scene or scene that is enjoyable in any way.
