Tra Barb See Chompoo (2018)

Quite good show

I would honestly suggest you to watch it. I am a person who watches a series or movie for like 20 times , but seriously I can't watch this series for more than 2 times. But there are someparts which are way too sweet and i still like them to watch even after watching to them 10 times even after 3 years
The storyline was good and interesting but for me the acting was not up to the script. I have watched almost 50 series but still it is the last one i would like to watch.
The music was way too good and if you listen to the music you can tell that each and every word relates to the story.
Overall I would like to suggest all of you to watch this series as 1st or 2nd thai series but if you are planning to watch it after you have become a thai serial fan after watching more than 10 series , i would suggest do not watch it as it will become boring for you but please listen to its song they are very good.

WTF!

Warning mega lots of spoilers! Read only after finishing the whole drama!
OmG! What was that! I am mega shocked and pissed off!
First of all, the whole drama is some kind of unfunny joke. The parents of the main characters supposedly love each other so much and all you can see on screen is them holding hands and the only "I love you" at the end.
.
.
.
Secondly, the Nawasch Phupantachsee game is mega annoying. And as for me it has a big plus for that. His character - Peat - is mega annoying and also very original. I appreciate that aspect of his role. But what the scriptwriters have come up with for the last couple of episodes goes beyond my imagination. There is not the slightest chance that someone who loves another person would treat them like that! "Peat" may be handsome and "very jealous" of everything, but he has problems that he can't handle and on top of that he also drives one of the girls to "mental disorder", because I guess that's what I can call what "Chaya" played by Sirinart Sugandharat is doing.
.
.
And then there is "Kiew" played by Bua Nalinthip Sakulongumpai. A character who is incredibly kind and wants to help everyone. She falls in love with a bastard and then expects some kind of reaction from him. What he did on their wedding night and then all the action with the new tenant should immediately lead to a divorce, especially since this motif recurs later on all the time. I do not understand this second, third and even fourth chance that Kiew gives Peat.
.
And at the very end "Kris" and his great idea with the gun! He knows when is the worst moment to fire such an idea! As far as I am concerned, this should not happen anymore. There were too many of those scenes in the whole 24 episodes of the series, and that idea is just so out of the blue.
.
I don't think I've ever been as annoyed by a TV series as this one!

I now dislike the name Peat .. Pete .. Peter .. all forms.

I remember watching this a few years back and was distracted, so did not pay too much attention.

I re watched it over the weekend and now need a hug, complete with loving pats and "there, there, it will be okay".

The ML is a spoiled, entitled brat who has nothing going for himself other than an upturned nose and sour disposition.

The FL is weak, cries a lot, and is a doormat for anyone who has feet.

Chaya is the most unhinged character and her voice constantly calling out for the ML has me forever disliking the name.

The little side couple was cute.

Kriss was psycho and should be in jail.

There were a few scenes between the dad and the FL that seemed inappropriate but whatever..

There was very little chemistry or real romance.

A lot of grabbing, manipulating, lying, ,crying, and unnecessary calling of 'Peat'.

Have to add, the music was okay.

TL;DR - Beginning is decent, but the ending is a bit sloppy. The ML and some supporting characters will for sure test your patience. The only thing carrying this lakorn is the chemistry and dynamic between our leads.

Well this was one hell of a roller coaster ride. For once my emotions were played with, from being very happy to almost wanting to rage quit this lakorn for giving me pain after tasting a bit of sweetness. I was also at a point where I thought most of the characters could go jump off a cliff for all I cared because they were doing just the worst stuff. Alas, I was able to continue on because I was curious to see how far Peat would take his revenge and wanted to see him change for real. I also wanted to see how the other characters developed and if the terrible trio (Peat, Chaya, + Kriss) they get their comeuppance (which spoiler alert; Peat kinda does, others don't).

So Peat. Wow this guy is quite the mess up. He actually gave me Kawee vibes from Sawan Biang in that both were mistreated by their dads and grew up with hatred of the world, not trusting anyone (I’d argue Peat had his mom at least but she used him as a pawn against his dad, so she’s not any better). Peat is always blaming his misfortune on others, and really only knows how to hate and get revenge. Usually I hate male leads like this, but you do get to see his vulnerability in that he wants to be loved and was really hurt by his dad's mistreatment of him and his mom. While it doesn’t excuse him from being a terrible son and husband (I was really pissed that he hurt Kiew over and over when things seemed to get better), I was rooting for him to move on from the past and find happiness with Kiew. I really wish he was able to move on sooner instead of dragging it out, because when he finally did change it was a little too late. I was too suspicious that Peat would just relapse again and I would be burned over it.

In regards to Chaya, for the most part I just felt sorry for her. She was completely blinded by her love for Peat and it didn’t help that he deceived and used her feelings as part of his revenge. Seriously, Peat is an a hole for doing that although Chaya should’ve known better and realize Peat had no love for her whatsoever. I’m also annoyed that she doesn’t really learn her lesson; she’s still rude and spoiled and has the gall to ask Kiew to give Peat back to her after he clearly tells her he loves Kiew and not her. She randomly gets cancer which I suppose is her retribution but it would’ve been better if she realized what she did was wrong, apologize and try to right her wrongs.
I also gotta talk about Kriss; I spent most of the lakorn conflicted on whether I liked him or not. He gave me shady vibes from the beginning and here's the thing: I get where he's coming from. Peat is a bad friend to everyone but is even more so because he uses Chaya, who Kriss likes. In the moment where it seemed like Peat chased her away, Kriss did everything he could to comfort and help her get over Peat which is why when it was all a lie, it got him raging mad. Mad to the point of revenge, though the way he did so was extreme and very low (embezzling, leaking harmful news, lying, kidnapping and shooting at people). However I can't completely hate him because he's not really a bad guy, he's just blinded by his rage. I can appreciate how he tells others how the situation really is eg telling Chaya she's being used. I just wish the show did a better job with Kriss, making him pay for his crimes and being his own person instead of sticking to Chaya. Bleh.

I have no bad things to say about Kiew; I was only really annoyed that her dad was making her patch things up with Peat. I felt like she shouldn't have responsibility to try and "fix" him, however it showed me how she deeply she was willing to work things out with Peat. She was stubborn, fought back with him and was able to understand him more than he could himself. I really admired that about her. Her bulls*** tolerance was really high, but when it reached the breaking point oh boy did she snap. I deeply relished how she ignored Peat and stopped caring for him (as a wife), and stood by it. She did it for a lot longer than I expected and I really have to give her kudos for standing her ground.
I like the dad a lot; yeah he made mistakes, but he spent a lifetime making up for it. Even when he found out Peat wasn't his son, he still treated him like one and loved him. He's an awesome dad to Kiew too. He's also a lot smarter than I gave him credit for LOL.
The biggest surprise is how much I loved the side characters, Pa and Khata. Two kick-ass friends who had the most common sense out of everyone, and prioritized their friendships over anything. Both fought for their friends and are the kind of friend that everyone should have. I'm glad they had each other when their friends were being screw-ups. Man also plays a saxophone! *swoon* Their bickering was something I looked forward to and lowkey was a little more excited about their coupling then the main couple.

Overall this was a wild ride and I'm glad I made it to the end. The story was pretty decent but got real draggy near the end, tho it was tolerable bc of the OTP. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable (so much touching! lots of kisses (and they're real lip to lip instead of the forehead or weird camera angle!)) and I'm super glad they'll be teamed up for another one. Music was great, and I'd definitely watch for the OTP moments along with Pa/Khata. Would recommend with reservations.

Edit: After thinking about it for awhile, I have to admit that the story of this lakorn was worse than I gave it credit for. If I hadn't spoiled it for myself about halfway through, I definitely would hate Peat more because he continuously hurts Kiew and can't grow up for shit till the end. Also while the beginning and midway point of the lakorn was decent, the endpoint was quite sloppy and not very cohesive. Overall I still say you should watch this tho mainly for the coupling of the leads.

Ok this drama had so much more potential. Everything was too abrupt, people go from good to bad and bad to good too quickly. Many things weren't explained especially how Sakdinai got to know what Kris was doing in his company. What Sakdinai did to his wife was awful and he didn't get karma for it. Kiew forgave Peat too quickly. Again the same thing with these Lakrons that even for forgiveness the females forgive too quickly and run after the male lead to forgive them. These dramas don't show forgiveness being earned, instead its forgiveness granted because they r the male lead. Like ughhhhh seriously!

Mild Revenge with Cute chemistry

●I started the lakron because of the lead cast and continued because of their chemistry. I really liked its title name "I LOVE YOU I HATE YOU"
●Story- synopsis provided is really misleading and confuses you about the basic story. family drama with lots of truths getting unfolded with each episode. It was really interesting as how the leads cope with the newly revealed truth while also loving each other.Its an say immature revenge by the male lead toward the one he is truly in love and ends up hurting himself. Its good like how its characterized and flows till the end. But I somewhere felt that they were like kids running away each time they want to avoid the situation, that was so immature.
●Acting-Their love hate romance was amazing making me go aww most of the time.
Pon as Peat was handsome and as a spoilt brat fit for the role. His facial expressions were complimenting him for his young revenge.
Bua as kiew, was excellent. I liked her for she was quick in actions and makes decisions fairly and morally
Supporting cast were also good.
●Music- opening and ending track are beautiful. While going with the lyrics its more meaningful.
●Rewatch- yes as there aint slap/kiss.

●P.S.- Why nobody asked about money to Tee. Like he was forgiven for doing good deed.

You can watch it if you like violent mls and enduring fls

This is the first time I was compelled to write a review after watching any drama. Well I watched this drama hoping to see the ml being rude and hurtful towards a fl who endured it all while being the purest and best soul in the whole drama and at a point when she gives up the ml would understand all her sacrifices and be regretful for being to mean to the fl (but it was too short in this drama)
I mean seriously what's wrong with these people??!! The Kiew's father, Peat (the ml), Kris (one of the ml's friend), Chaya (another of the ml's friends) no body had a control over themselves. I understand emotions play a huge role in our decisions and often ppl become to headstrong not to loose and end up doing things that they regret later. But just HOW MANY TIMES???!!!
Firstly, Peat was angry at his dad for having a mistress and not paying attention to his mother. Then, after he found out that his 'father' was not his actual biological father, instead of being grateful of his 'father' for raising him like his own son for so many years he runs away. After that, finally as he starts to normalize a bit he reads his dead mother's diary where she writes how his 'father' left her on their wedding night to find Kiew's mother which is why his mother uses another man (Peat's biological father) to have Peat. And instead of focusing on both the sides he only sees his 'father's' fault, for god's sake HIS MOTHER TOO SPENT THE NIGHT WITH SOMEONE ELSE!! So biased of him. Then when he sees how Kiew loves him, he hurts her to hurt his 'father' even if that meant burning himself. He keeps hurting Kiew by being with Chaya (touching her, hugging her, taking care of her) and he even when to the extent of kissing her without her cloths, while he expects Kiew not to be touched by any other man or to go out for business dinners with other men (Honestly he sounds exactly like a psycho). He has some serious trust issues.
On the other hand Chaya keeps loving Peat when he thinks of her nothing more than his friend. She even eliminated other girls who tried to get near Peat (so violent), she even threatened the Kiew (the fl) by almost downing her in a sink full of water. She even never paid any attention to Kris who loved her so much and even expressed it a few times. Then one day Chaya, Kris and Kiew's father stumble upon Peat and Kiew in bed together. After which Peat declares his marriage with Kiew stating that he loves her. Even after all this Chaya believes that Peat loved her (plus all her friends told her that he dosen't). Then miraculously, Peat turns up on Chaya's doorsteps on his wedding night abandoning Kiew and says that he actually loves Chaya. And even after listening to his whole plan of hurting Kiew and her dad (who is Peat's 'father'), she still believes that he loves her, while all his actions clearly state that he loves Kiew. Plus her character is so bad. Acting to get attention, even shamelessly go to Peats office and being affectionate with him in front of his co-workers.(I get it that she was doing it all for love but a love that goes again normal human morals isn't something pure ad true)
As for Kris, even after repetitive rejections by Chaya for so many years he still goes on to hurt his friend to the extent of killing him. Why? Because he did the inevitable (in the end Peat tells Chaya that he can never lover her because he loves Kiew) when Chaya is found to have Leukemia. He couldn't even tell that she was just using him at her time of need. (And to think I thought that he was the second most mature after Kiew, now I think it's definitely Katha).
Well I can't take talking negative anymore so I'll just say what I liked about this show too:
(1) I really really really really loved Pa and Katha's story
(2) I found Kiew to be the really mature type ml
(3) It had a happy ending
(4) The ml really loved the fl even though he was being a jerk about it
(5) The starting part of the drama was really nice
(6) An understanding father

Completely revenge based

Drama had few positive scenes . Drama potrait two characters ' story . A boy who had always seen his parent's arguing with eachother and thought his father never loved his mother and him and that's the reason he always hated his father and never be obedient towards him otherwise he was a good person . On the other side the girl who lived with her mother and their relationship was good . When they two come across they had some fight ,then they liked eachother but something had happened he misunderstood her and his father and he always thought they were the reason of his mother sadness and unhappiness and he always wanted to take revenge against them . He was full on vengeance that he never realised that he was not only destroying himself but also others life who loved him unconditionally. First time not happy to see happy ending for male lead character because he deed very bad to his loved ones in return he should taste of his own medicine .
I didn't like the story.

A melo, revenge, romance story - PINKISH SIN (de meaning of the drama title)

Story which had Kdrama flavors and lakorn addicted pacing.

What really worked for4 me was Peat and Kiew’s onscreen chemistry, every time they are together, it’s gold. Peat would do his revengey, douche baggy things, but Kiew was toe-to-toe with him every step of the way.

It was so good when it’s good, but also had some recipe for disaster as well. The directing was on point, however the writing lacked some major imagination towards the end – but the twists and the chemistry throughout the show kept me rooted to watch how the finale played out. And I’m glad I stayed, because I’m glad to see the old Kiew back. With Kiew being the boss, with Peat choosing to step into the light and being happy, and with the future slaps and kisses they will endure in their marriage. Perhaps someone should slap ME.

Revenge, hatred and love all comes together in this new highly popular lakhorn starring Pon Nawasch as the hot-tempered and handsome rich boy Peat and Bua Wansiri (also seen her in "Kluen Cheewit") as the gentle and lively Kangsadan. These two soulmates gets to endure the harshness and unfairness from their parents past, and with twists and turns Peat still with a fierceness loves Kangsadan the same. The greatest twist is the one that determines the end, and it will be when he re-creates the past again through betrayal and trickery that Peat will once and for all lay his own heart down for the world- and finally realize the truth in it. He is the force and stimulates this story, and Kangsadan is the woman who dares to love him. All is fair in love and hate, and the chemistry between the main-leads is the HIGH LIGHT in this story. It`s intense but beautiful, bittersweet but pure. There was at times in the start of this lakhorn that i had this coming-of-age feel to it due to the main characters still studying in school,which was interesting for me. I finished this lakhorn in only two days, and will probably re-watch it later on, that good it is (smile). With great talented actors, explosive chemistry, drama, crazyness, slap-kiss, romance...and of course Everlasting Love.."Trabab See Chompoo" is a lakhorn i very much recommend!

Ok so I just finished this drama and I think that it was overall good.

Plot: That was such a ride OMG. I mean the plot was really reaaallyyy reeeeaaallly dramatic like omg it reminded me of those Indian Drama Memes..... but I really like the character development of the male lead (from being super revengeful to understanding or trying to be a better person). Also I was everytime so shocked with the male leads acts, like in that moment I didn’t expect the kiss and in the other the betrayal and all. This dude was really not predictive. And this the female lead was very kind and adorable but knew when to stop.

Music; I mean it was ok, but the Soundtrack sometimes didn’t really fit to the scene. Almost every act of the male lead was portrayed as bad although he was pretty pure at this time.

Acting: I had nothing against it. The actors/actresses tried their best but I never had the urge to cry with them tbh. I just wanted to watch all the drama and see those lovey dovey scenes.

Scenery (don’t know how to call it):
I think that the scenes were sometimes weirdly cut. Some mini parts were missing, so the audience had to jump into a scene which happened like 5seconds after. I don’t know if you get what I mean. But the scenes don’t go perfectly or smoothly into each other, they rather seem harshly cut. But just at few scenes and not too dramatic, but nevertheless ruined the mood in the scenes sometimes...

Rewatch Value: I’m overall not the type of girl who watches a whole drama again since I already know the plot. That’s why I rated it relatively low. I rewatched some episodes of “Ashes of Love”, “Well Intended Love” and that’s basically it.

OVERALL I would recommend you this drama if you like MUUUUCCCH drama and many slapping scenes (they slapped each other so often that it became funny to me). Besides that the actors also try their best to portray many emotions decently.
