Roy Marn (1990)

My heart is bursting right through me.I have cried and i have laughed so much that all my energy have been drained by getting entertained by the incredible characters of Bee (starring Ben Pisut) and Mark (starring Tua Sarunyu).Since i watched the 2011 version of "Roy Marn" first i badly wanted to check out the earlier versions and where else to start than the original version from 1990!??Have never watched a lakorn as old as this one and i loved every bit of it!The 2011 version is more prolonged and fleshed out with more scenes between Mark and Bee,but both versions still are slow-burn in the romance department.But i gotta admit that Ben Pisut portrayed the tomboy Bee much better than Margie in the 2011 version.The role Bee was made for Ben Pisut.She had such a expressive face.Bee is a creature of impulse and are so spirited that she never could stay still or shut up for a second.She pranked and joked around and flew everywhere the wind took her.She was part of the nature and the joy of living despite being a orphan,and getting reminded of it everyday by her cousin May and her aunt.But among all the characters in this show she has the most pure soul and such a great dignity that she refused to fight for her man once she falls for him.She falls very late for Mark,how could she when he presented everything she hated.He was cynical,manipulative and arrogant and she easily saw through his mask on first sight and therefore insults him at every chance she gets.No one could rile up Mark as Bee did,she was able to ruin his whole day many times..and i loved every second of it since he was such a scoundrel,he freaking slaps Bee out of anger two times in this version which shocked me since it never happened in the 2011 version!.The actor Tua Sarunyu portrayed him perfectly and i am saddened that he died this summer in 2020.He was such an amazing actor and had such charisma on-screen!When Mark falls for Bee..he REALLY falls for her and how my heart broke for his agony of longing for her.In this version he is one of the worst playboys ever..and its such a pleasure to see Bee take him down his knees.I also love that this version have many real kiss scenes between Bee and Mark which was surprising to me since there were none in the 2011 version.One more fun fact is that this version has the same actress portraying the grandmother in the 2011 version.This is indeed a unforgettable story..so wonderful and oh so romantic!!!

This drama has got to be my most favourite drama I’ve ever watched, despite it being so old. My ratings may seem too high but looking at it from all factors especially the age.

I’ve actually watched the 2011 version when it first came out, and I happened to come across this version in 2019, so I decided to clicked onto watch and HOLY, not to be dramatic it has got to be one of the best decisions of my life! First of all credits, all to Pen Pisut because she manages to portray the character Bee really well, making her my favourite character. Bee is such a free-spirited, honest and doesn’t give crap about what anyone thinks of her. Although she is basically an orphan, she manages to grow up to become an amazing lady but her Aunty, cousin and Mark are the only people who seem to hate her, because they see her as a jealous, childish girl and reminds her of the hers flaws that gets me choked up at some point for Bee. Mark, the main actor on the other hand is a big Casanova, which is one of the reasons why Bee hates and always curses him out every chance she gets. It’s so funny when they fight, and bruh Mark slaps her twice but she got revenge later on him in the snooker room. But despite, Mark hating her so much, in the end he eventually gets to know her more and starts developing good feelings towards her. However, he shows it through some manipulation that is somewhat romantic as he’s confused in his own feelings.
The most satisfying thing is that he literally FALLS HEAD OVER HEEL for Bee, he follows her everywhere and it’s just :)))))

You can see that Mark is more “alive” around Bee than May who always has to keep her life straight like a ruler, which can get boring as time passes. Every time, they have a love scene, I literally need to have a pillow beside me so I can squeeze it omfg, P’Tua is so good at romantic scenes. Since 2019 until this very day, I am still rewatching this lakorn over and over because I can’t get enough of it.

I was so sad about P’Tua’s passing, he shouldn’t have gone so early and Pen Pisut and P’Tua should’ve been paired up together more because their chemistry was like paradise. Anyways you should definitely watch this drama, highly recommended ;)
