Kleun Cheewit (2017)

This lakorn could have ended in like 5 eps max if everyone had tried to actually talk to one another without jumping to conclusions lol xD

Most of the characters are honestly slappable...yeah that includes you, you adorable baby-faced Sathit. I think the most likeable character was Suki. Well there were other decent characters like Dao and Jate but tbh I kinda skimmed through their scenes cause I wanted to finish the lakorn faster lol. I did like Jee as well but gosh woman is it so hard to communicate properly..T-T

And honestly I don't think lakorns are my thing..there's something kinda cringey in their acting at times, especially when it comes to action scenes. But I might try watching a few more in the future before I actually make up my mind about them.

The best thing about the lakorn is the onscreen chemistry between the two leads. ♡♡ oh and Sathit smiling in the later part of the last episode. So adorable *-* lol
I didn't mind the music by itself but it was so repetitive in this lakorn and too loud and in-your-face.

If anyone wants to watch a lakorn with really good chemistry, I'd recommend this, as long as you're able to tolerate seeing irritating characters and misunderstandings till the very end...not forgetting the repetitive theme of lack of communication.

As usual, Yaya & Mark did a great job! Been a fan with these two together with their other love teams but never have I thought that they will also have a great chemistry!! Watching their scenes together made me smile and say "The one you hate is the one you really love." :) Hope they will have another lakorn together in the future.

The story for me was kinda new, with twists that leaves you surprised and excited for the next scenes to follow. It's not the usual Thai drama story and I really like it.
Yaya's acting was superb! Even when she was still starting out, she could already act but in here her acting skills not only improved as well as the way she handled herself that made her stand out in this lakorn. Yayas' acting during emotional scenes was very natural. Crying for her in front of a camera feels like so easy.
For Mark, I was quite impressed. His acting has also improved. Back then, he had a hard time crying in emotional scenes but here he did it so well and to think he had to do it for lots of times in this lakorn.
For the supporting casts, I couldn't asked for someone better to portray their roles especially Joonkiat Jarinporn as Piak! She's so good in her role that you will surely hate her!!! I think Chaiyan's too good for her!

This is a must watch Thai drama! You should really watch this now :)

P.S. Who else skips Piak's tantrum scenes?? :D

this drama was off the charts. the acting was pretty good. the main leads had a special connection between them. the girl was pretty good at the emotional and crying scenes you can totally feel the pain of what she is goin through. as for the guy he had the best facial expressions to every thing that had happened. there is comedy thanks to the manager P'Suki. he is totally hilarious. I have to say that he Is my favorite person in this drama. in each episode a new problem arrives after the other problem has been fixed. so each episode is different and adds on. it also brings the lead people together and apart. so the situations can go either way. you never know. but, I do hope that you end up watching this. its pretty good.

Story
This is my first time watching Thai drama and I liked it, I have always been a sucker for enemies to lovers romance. This drama was generally fast paced and clicking next episode was very easy, no draggy parts except for the crying scenes and the Last episode dragged a little. The biggest gripe I had with the drama was the huge misunderstanding btw the main couple and chaiyan and piak, seriously I really wanted to give a tight 'piak' to chaiyan for being an idiot and his Wife, Piak, very deserving name if you know what I mean. There were a few plot holes but overall definitely still a very watchable drama. The ending not exactly perfect cos Piak had a sudden change of heart which wasn't convincing for me. Otherwise i would've rated this a 10.

Acting/cast
Acting wise I really think Yaya is very talented and I believed in her character, as for Prin, the initial episodes weren't so good, I didn't feel the emotions, and his eyes weren't expressive enough. The scenes with Yaya he really improved and got better, I think Yaya brought out his character with her acting. Eventually I liked Prin's acting as he got better.

Music
I didn't like the background music at all, reminds me of those Long running Taiwan dramas, overly dramatic and unnecessary at times. Perhaps that's the way how Thais like it.

Rewatch Value
I don't think I will be rewatching this, however, I will certainly watch other dramas acted by both main leads if the storyline is good. I'm not sure if I will watch another Thai drama as general ratings are not that good, the reason I picked this was because it was the TOP 10 Asian drama, and I'm Glad I did.

I really loved this thai drama if I could I would watch it again.  Furthermore, I love the characters each character had their problems and they had to deal with it. Then, it was also very emotional and interesting. It also left you wanting more and more each episode. Yes, their was some characters that pissed me off but it was cool that later on they figured out in ending. However, what I didn't like was the unnecessary misunderstandings at time that didn't make sense and also where some of these misunderstanding could've get dealt with right then and there. Then, some of the slaps were soooo... over exaggerated.

But, in the end it was still good the male lead is indeed handsome and the female lead is beyond  beautiful.  please give this drama a try as it is very good and very down to earth from all those fictional k-drama shows.

tolerable ratchetness

The characters in here were so damn ratchet. Always fighting, screaming, yelling and slut shaming every 5 seconds but for some reason, it was tolerable. But I'm not sure if it's because of the way the story was executed or just because my ass is whipped for Yaya and Mark and their presence somehow made it a little less annoying. The storyline is nothing special. It's your typical Thai drama with revenge, slap-kiss and a lot of ghettoness from girls accusing each other of stealing their man to snatching ugly weaves and throwing hands every other minute. What made Kleun Cheewit as popular as it is was the chemistry between the two leads. Yaya and Mark were the saving grace of the show and the sexual tension was undeniable! She impressed me so much playing as Jeerawat. Brought the character to life and I can feel every emotion just through her eyes. You go girl! Mark fulfilled his parts although not as impressive as Yaya, but that could also just be the character he was given to play. But damn, was he sexy! I'd have to admit that I first watched Kleun Cheewit for Mark lol. As great as they are, I gave the acting/cast a 10 also because of such great supporting cast. Louis, Toey, Nychaa, Masu, Bua and Noey (my favorite N'rai). I definitely believe these supports also made Kleun Cheewit what it is. They definitely can hold their own and they had!

I don't love the music but I do like it. It goes well with the story and the vibe they're going for. Would I watch it again? Probably not. KC is very dramatic and quite heavy at times. It's not something I would be able to watch in peace if I were to grab a quick tea and wanted to put something on unless I want to deal with some ratchet cat fighting and violence.

I'll do a quick breakdown of some characters and my opinions on them cause why not:

Jee: Fucking queen. She'll give you what you give her. Treat her with kindness and respect? She'll do the same back. Act like an asshole and an insecure bitch? She won't be afraid to put you in your place. Inside, she is a broken person who just wants love.

Thit: He frustrates me. I am biased though because I really really like Mark Lmao. But Thit is such a pain in the ass. I'm not sure how he ever became a lawyer with that mindset of his. He was so damn rough and violent. After all he's done to her, he better be grateful that Jee would even give him the time of day.

Chaiyan: Idk how I feel about him. Piak and Chaiyan should just not be together. They are horrible for each other. Piak was a crazy ass bitch who couldn't stay sane for 1 sec, but Chaiyan was no saint either. He kept on doing things that would obviously trigger her. All in all, these two need to stay 6 feet from each other.

Piak: Jesus christ. She was so fucking annoying. This girl takes the word jealousy to another level. Piak seriously should've distanced herself away from everyone and indulge in some soul searching. Be alone for a while and come back when she can contain herself from going batshit.

Dao: One of the only people to hold a consistent brain cell throughout the show and such a goddamn angel. I love her! She looks out for her friends and genuinely cares about them. Puts others' happiness before hers and is just such a good person on god. She deserved better than Jate. Sorry not sorry.

Jate: As cute as he is, I hated him even more than Piak lmao. I'm exaggerating a bit but like bruh... wtf? This mf led Dao on and flirted with her hella times (at least that's what I remember. Don't come for me though cause I watched KC a while ago). If I was Dao, I would've thought he liked me too. But nahh, this bitch actually liked Jee. I hate people like this. Pick a person and stick to it goddammit. Then when Jee rejected his ass at the end, he crawled back to Dao??????????????? And idc what his excuse is. He broke Dao's heart and he's a hoe for it.

Jane: The superior sibling. This was where half of Jate's brain went to. Like others have said, her voice can be a little intolerable at times and her actions can come off a little cringe??? But she was cute and actually thought with logic and she genuinely loved Thit and let him have his happiness with Jee. She did seem more like the type of character that the show could've done without, but nevertheless still good. Her and Mark were also really cute together when they had their moments :)

KC having such a good cast is their strongest point, but it is also one of their weakest. They have so many characters and so many stories going on because they're trying to do justice to everyone, but then it just gets too much. It's like you're trying to focus on Mark and Yaya but you also have these other 5 backstories from side characters going on that are supposed to connect. It can get too much at times when you're really just trying to engage with the main lead.

Overall, KC was a good run but not something I'd come back to. Great casts though, I can't stress that enough.

frustation from begining to end

So, my review might seem a little weird. First of all, what I loved. The actors were amazing, I have been a fan of Yaya for a while now and I got to say, she didn't disappoint, in fact she was the only reason I didn't drop this laikorn. So, typical cliche with the leads hating each other and then falling in love. I am actually surprised that many people liked this drama, but I wasn't one of them. What I really didn't like was the story itself. The female lead, jee has a terrible mother that prefers to have money then her only child. And her stepfather is a bastard that is interested in jee so he drugs her and tries to ra** her. Because of that, jee ends up hitting the male lead's fiance with her car. Thit, male lead wants revenge so torments and mistreats the female lead to make her confess. By the way, her mother only reacted to all this by being mad that her husband prefered her daughter over her. Through all the pain inflicted, Thit realizes Jee is a good person and falls for her. Like, this drama gave me such a headache. Who in the world falls in love after being mistreated by that person? For anyone wondering yes the main leads end up happily together. Honestly, this was definitely not a drama for me, I still watched it till the end for Yaya and I don't intend to watch it again. If you don't mind putting up with mistreating, abuse, and stupid logics, then you should give it a go.

LOOOOVEEEE THE PAIR

I watched Bad Romeo before watching this lakorn. Been following Bad Romeo's video clips on Instagram, and suddenly there's a video of Mark Yaya pops up. If I'm not mistaken it's about their upcoming lakorn in which they are pairing once again as the main lead! And I really forgot how but I did some searching and found that they had been paired up before in lakorn which is in this series. I started watching and didn't know I would be hooked on this drama. So addictive!

I just finished watching it and I really like the chemistry between Mark and Yaya.
Even though they already have their real-life partners, still I'm rooting for their acting together as a pair.

Can't wait to watch their new lakorn soon!

Lots of Backstabbing, face slapping, shouting and crying

This is my first review here, yeah!!
In my opinion, this drama is really well-written and well directed. All the casts were all great in playing their characters; They were so good that most of the time, I wanted to scream my lungs out and about to burst my top while watching this Lakorn. The exquisite and beautiful outfits and dresses, expensive bags and jewelries (lots of Chanel product placing!) add glamour to this drama. The cinematography is wonderful, and I get to see some nice aerial view of Bangkok and also some beautiful scenic parts of Thailand by the beach and countrysides. The OSTs are not bad, but towards the end, the background music to the sad scenes were totally driving me crazy, especially the one with the cello - oh my god, I was almost pulling out my hair every time I hear the cello !! Can't the director put some violin music please.... LOL
And another thing that annoying is the cheap-looking house slippers everyone is wearing in their residences. I get it that they take off their outdoor shoes when entering their places, but there are so many better looking house slippers in the market. Why choose the ones that look like the hotel room slippers?!

Everyone who is bad and wicked was really very mean to the main female lead, Jee - played by the gorgeous and beautiful Yaya/Urassaya Sperbund, with a body to die for. Poor Jee - so many times she got slapped, beaten up, drugged, sexually assaulted, drowned, shot, betrayed, even raped (forced to have sex with Sathit), rejected, abandoned, slandered and get thrown off a horse! A weak woman would have gone mental in the end, but she becomes stronger and better that she give it all back to the wrongdoers in full measure. I am glad she is not a pushover, especially when Sathit finally falls in love with her and begs her to marry him but she made him really work for it. She even ran away from him to hide, and he had to chase after her like crazy, begging all her friends and even her mother, for help.
The main male lead, Sathit played by Mark Prin Suparat. He looks cute and adorable but he plays a tough and heartless lawyer who was deeply angry and frustrated with the injustice of losing his beloved girlfriend and fiance. His burning anger to hurt and punish Jee was driven by the hatred and grieve caused by losing his beloved fiance, just days before they got married. I can understand his pain, but I feel that he is really a hypocrite to keep claiming he is abiding by the law and yet he breaks every law in book to pursue his revenge against Jee. But slowly, when he got to know the real Jee, and seeing how many times she helped and saved him, he cannot help but fall in love her and he was conflicted because he was falling for the woman who killed his beloved girlfriend. When he found out the real reason why Jee accidentally ran over and killed his fiance, he finally let go of his hatred and started to run to Jee, but she got enough of him and ran away from him instead..... hahahaha.... serves him right!!
Best comic relief was Suki. I really loved Jee's gay manager, Suki. He is really fabulously cool, over-the-top and so funny but yet fiercely loyal and loving to Jee.
One of her loyal friend is the film director, Chaiyan played by Louis Scott. He is really a good and loyal friend to Jee, protecting and defending her against everyone who tries to hurt her. I feel sorry for him because he was married to a crazy jealous wife who does not trust him and refused to listen to him.
As for Piak (director's wife) - she is so self-centred, crazy with jealousy and so spoilt that I really wanted to bitch slap her to death. I think she is the only one not being slapped, which I think is really unfair.
As for the other characters that support the story, I will not write too much. They did their part to drive the lakorn forward and made it entertaining to watch.
After almost 30 hours of endless roller coaster of emotions and tears, I am very relieved that everyone got their happy endings.
