Prom Pissawat (2020)

"Prom Pissawat" was one of the most expected romantic lakhorns for me in 2020,mostly because we could finally watch Boom Piyaphun and Pimmy Pimprapa reunite on-screen as main-leads 4 years after their hit drama "Karn La Krang Neung…Nai Hua Jai" where every watcher loved their on-screen chemistry.We all love some old fashioned slap-kiss drama where every impossible crazy things happens in the name of love and hate,and we always seems to enjoy it.This drama started out quite cringy and hasty in the first episode,but it worked much later on with the story-line and developement.But after 10 episodes it started to take another turn towards a path in which have been used so many times that it became boring and frustrating for me.This drama would have been so much better if it only ended after 10 episodes.

Papol played by Boom is a rich guy who have lived with trying to win the affection of his father,but only got rejection and neglect.In his mind the new wife of his fathers is a intruder to the perfect happy family he always dreamed of,and therefore he hates her with all his being and looks down on where she came from.So in this story he meets the very passionate Pantawan and gets drawn to her bright nature while also despising the attraction he feels for her.Pantawan is a hardworking young woman who has to sing and dance in nightclubs to get great pay for her foster mothers gambling debts.She despise Papol on sight for his cruel behaviour and injustice view of her life.But Papol never expected her to be the mysterious owner of the beautiful voice he wants to represent to his new music company-and both find themselves working together.Both characters shares the pain of feeling abandoned,and finds themselves falling in love.Papol did everything for Pantawan to love him when she didn`t love him.It was a courtship and chase i loved to watch.But after their marriage in ep 10 a despicable twist happens,and i literally wanted to claw his eyes out.Papol is a main-hero who have a heart he doesn`t understand,eyes in which he does not see and ears in which he don´t hear.But you find yourself cry your heart out,getting angry so hard you want to hurl your computer across the room...but sigh for what the power of love can accomplish.Papol and Pantawan are characters that only can fall in love once,but its a kind of love that stays for always.

I found myself having second lead syndrome for Non played by Great Sapol,he had such a great character and was the greatest friend Pantawan could have had.Loved how he stood up for her!The younger sister Pat is a character i can`t stand.I still haven`t forgiven her for what she did to Pan early in the story because of her unlogical jealousy.I couldn`t relate to Pantawan`s real mother,she did so many things i found so unloyal and humiliating,i never cared about any of her "pain" or "regrets".I absolutely love the first 10 episodes..they were exciting,cute,sexy and romantic in so many ways..but it just kinda fell down from there for me.I do hope Boom and Pimmy co-star again,since their chemistry is truly exceptional and shattering,loved how they could look deep into each other eyes.!

I watch this based on a review on this website, I believe it was an article about Lakorn’s to watch. It started out with some promise, even though the arrogance of the main lead was almost more than I could handle. I figured once he fell in love with the female lead that he would get his comeuppance. No. He was in sufferable the whole 16 episodes of the drama. His immaturity, arrogance, pouting, forcefulness....I really can’t understand why the female lead “fell in love” with him. Maybe it was the dimples. I will give him that. The redemption that we were supposed to feel as character development didn’t come until basically the last episode. And even then it wasn’t believable to me. And the female lead became just as insufferable as him halfway through the series. I think it had some good potential as a story, that’s why I rated the story itself as a higher. But between the punching, slapping, women fighting, men grabbing wrists, forced sex, it was probably the most cliché and bad representation of a Lakorn that I have ever seen.
