Buang Banjathorn (2002)

One of the Best Older Lakorns

The story is good, I like how different it is from usual lakorns. It’s beautiful and the music used is so good, really matches what’s going on. I recommend this lakorn, it’s about the past and present. Lakorns back in the early 2000s are so good to watch nowadays when all lakorns have basically the same storyline. This one is a little different because the nang ek is a married woman who sleeps on a magical that she found and went to the past where she falls in love with the prang ek. Kind of reminds me of Bhuppae Sunniwat but there’s no comedy like how there is in lakorns nowadays. I really like that because it really focuses on the nang ek and prang ek.

It starts promissing, as it's:
- supernatural, time travel, NOT technical sci-fi though, it has an enchanted BED:-) imagine you laying on your bed and awaking next to handsome prince in that bed!:-)
- not your usual nang'ek with fresh face in her twenties, she is MARRIED and 8 years older than pra'ek:-)
- focused, not overfilled with loads of completely unrelated side-stories and unnecessary side-cast.

Yet, it kinda... drags.

I remember the wedding procession scene with the drums beating and traditional singing that seemed to never end. The plot also practically goes from nowhere to nowhere and the closer to final the sillier it all gets. Fantasy is never my cup of tea. Chakrit is easy on the eye of course, especially when he takes that thing off his head in the bed scene. And Anuwat Niwatawong is still thin here!! But it's a LONG watch, not worth any re-watch. I wonder why this got re-maked (2017), I'll try what difference that would make.
