Raeng Tian (2019)

Story
The story could have been stronger but since it was adapted from a older drama, what can you expect. I also wished the FL moved the story along instead of letting the story move her along. But I still liked her. The ML is nice but while playing the peacemaker between his family and the FL, he neglects the FL's feelings. This fact in itself is the reason I appreciated how the drama ends because it sort of takes that into account. I personally did not like the ML's family and in-laws, they are awful people.

Acting/Cast
It is typical Thai drama acting for dramas like this. The cast did well based upon the script they were given. I would like to see the cast again in another drama together, a lighter one.

Music
The title song was good

Rewatch Value
After watching the complete drama. I felt that a 1 time full watch of the drama was all that was needed. That feeling was based on the fact I rewatched episodes while waiting for a new episodes to come out and was a little disappointed with the ending but not really.

Overall
Some might be disappointed by how this drama ends because it needs 1 more episode to truly feel complete. I don't mind the way ML/FL relationship ended. There were just too many issues for the relationship to progress in a healthy and proper manner at this point in their lives. Maybe a few years down the road they could get back together or not. The overall drama is worth the watch though if you have time on your hands.

I wished New Wongsakorn & Nut Devahastin had their roles EXCHANGED

I also don't know why was Yard Yardthip hired in this one, because she is actually the same type as Ploy and many scenes she is visually too similar to her. The story goes that we have a woman experiencing loss and heartbreak, betrayed by everyone she ever trusted. It's not a cheerful story, so it's kinda important what we have here to balance it up and I'm afraid that 39 year old New Wongsakorn was not enough eyecandy to cheer me up here, lol.

This lakorn was a bit difficult to enjoy. I had to watch Nut Devahastin in yet another sleazy-bad-guy role (why the hell do they cast HIM as that??) he seems cursed with since after 'Ngao Asoke' (where he beat the lead guy to dust). Also, there were many scenes of two femmes fighting (over a guy at that... where is their pride?) who looked almost the same (Yard & Ploy obviously shared the same hairdresser and make-up artist) which looked ridiculous, especially given they were in their THIRTIES (I think PHYSICAL fighting belongs to SCHOOL dramas at the most, lol). Was it really THAT fundamental which one of them would the guy choose?

After mere 4 episodes I got tired with this and decided to move on to another lakorn.
