Jao Sua Mua Nim (2019)

Its a cliche drama with not many surprises and plot twist. From first episode itself the villian is revealed and not much to anticipate. All secrets are revealed quick and there is no tension in the story. Entire story could have been summed up into 15 episodes. After first 5-6 episodes I was fast forwarding all other episodes till 28th episodes. Most of the episodes in the middle have no content and you can skip them if you want to.

Acting wise there was no chemisty between the leads. It was just mechanical acting and do not have many romantic instances.

Watch this drama only if you have nothing else to do. I feel this drama could have been made better and have no plan to rewatch it.

Again story about twins? About good one and bad one? True, one of the guys is way more idealistic. The other is not bad, just spoilt. His passion is... cooking. And he does like nang'ek. He's no badass:)

But soon the nicer brother comes to take his place, to have his chance with the nang'ek and to impress the dissapointed dad. As I thought even the previous brother was not that horrible, I felt kinda bad for him being pushed aside to live with strangers (the other twin grew up with). After a few episodes the twins find out about each other, but still stay switched (they make an agreement). But then only one of them can spend time with nang'ek...

In a way, this twin-switching kind of spoiled it for me. After I got introduced to the first twin who needed to redeem himself with his father and who fell in love with the nang'ek first, naturally I kinda wished for him to eventually win their hearts. Instead, other guy is put in his place. The worse: he is his lost, orphaned brother and therefore more deserving. So, the first brother stays a loser, acting more and more silly while the other one steals his thunder.

This is a typical Channel 7 thing where nothing really happens for as high a number of episodes as possible. Including assembly of side-characters that keep the main 2 from completing 1 conversation they need to have (I think I mentioned this in my review of another Channel 7 lakorn:) But, the main cast is easy on the eye and their character interactions are cute.

Episode 13 of 30, nang'ek marries... whom, actually? Well, she marries a guy under the name of the first twin. While it's the other twin in his place... Occasionally switched by the first brother in moments when he gets too jealous. On the wedding night, of course the first brother also wants to be with nang'ek. He sneaks into the bedroom, but this time the other brother doesn't let him switch. It makes no sense, the brothers promised each other to return to their original lives, anyways. Only one of them says he loves nang'ek, and the marriage was in his name. The other brother says something about it not being right or whatever excuse, but it's clear the scriptwriters just did not intend for nang'ek to be with the first brother. Not that the other brother wants to sleep with her himself (or at least not right away), he just sleeps on the sofa. What a wedding night! The night nang'ek shall always remember, lol. Should I wait 17 more episodes till she slowly gets together with the other brother so that in retrospective she won't have to regret having slept with both the brothers? Because only that can the "wedding night on the sofa" serve for...
