Yai the lost son of Khun Baisan comes back to his farm to get his inheritance and revenges his father's death from his stepmother...he appears as cave man with non-modernized behavior...scares everyone and pretends to be a gangster...he enjoys tormenting the beautiful young maid Pin...and forces her to be his wife...but he turns out to be a loving prince charming!
A very interesting plot...with one crazy villain...nice supporting characters...a mixture of Action, Drama, Romance, humor...that kept me hooked throughout the long 22 eps...it was smartly written that there was always something going on...no place for speed watching...I expected it to drag a lot but surprisingly it didn't...it also has many cliffhangers that will make you keep watching and it was filmed during airing which somehow made the drama quality even better!
The male lead character was smart, strong, dependable, playful, and very warm...a real prince charming...and Weir played this character perfectly...it's hard to imagine any other actor in his place...
But the female lead character was quit annoying - too good to be true - she was also very naive (he even used to call her stupid child) but she wised up a little at the end!
The N'ek and P'ek chemistry was very good...their scenes would always make me smile!
The music puts you in good mode...and I'm glad the main songs were sang by our leads!
I don't usually re-watch dramas but maybe in a couple of years when I forget it enough!
In short if you guys want a well-written Lakorn with lots of twists and turns with a cast that has a good chemistry and a refreshingly charming male lead character...I highly recommend this one!

This is still one of my favorite lakorns that has revenge themed as the main plot. I do not mind that it became kind of draggy from the three episodes from the middle, I am invested so much in watching Khun Yai and Pin Anong romance develop as the story unfolds. Characters:
Khun Yai - as a male lead he still loves his better half despite seeing her in various suspicious activities. He always said he despises her but save her every time she is in a dangerous situation. He may be aggressive sometimes but he never forced the female lead even though he is hurt multiple times by her words and actions which is very rare when you watch a classic lakorn.
Pin - She is very kind and trusting to a fault but I cannot blame her for it because that's how she was brought up by her mother. I do not feel her character during the first part of the series but started to understand her during the middle part where, that's when she had a major character development towards the middle part until the ending. I like that she even instigated a plan with Khun Yai to thwart the main villain, deceiving her. Also, I've seen a worse FL than her who remains placid and doesn't contribute to anything but to cry every single time she is struggling.
Chemistry:
I love that there are real kisses in here, unlike some lakorns that I watched before. As a viewer, it is hard to be convinced about the passion of the main characters for each other if you see fake kisses between them.
Overall it is a very rewatchable lakorn for me. I have seen it four times now since the first time I have watched it in 2018. I still think this is the best Weir Sukollawat lakorn. It makes me a fan of him after this.
If you want a lakorn filled with action, romance, and lots of skinship, I recommend this one to you.

I really love this lakorn eventhough the FL is so innocent. You'll get angrier whenever the FL is being used for the ML and for some instances but she's strong to face the battle. When we can feel loved, anger, hatred, etc towards the cast most especially for the FL and ML, it means to say that their acting skills were very great! Kudos for them most especially for Weir and Min because they portrayed their role that is why I'm watching Thai drama because of them. Their one of my favorite onscsreen Thai couple! I've also watched their Koo Za Rot Zab and La Ruk Sot Kob Fah. I just can't get enough of this two. I hope they will be paired again for a new lakorn. It might be a RomCom co'z they are good ai it, miss them (WeirMin).Was this review helpful to you?

A Classic Lakorn
Pin Anong is a beautiful lakorn that encapsulates all the classic elements of lakorn. However, despite its charm, the series is not without its flaws. The story, while engaging, often feels drawn out and at times suffers from noticeable plot holes.The narrative follows the journey of Pin Anong, affectionately known as P'Pin, who is portrayed as a somewhat inept and naive character for the majority of the series. Her character development is slow, taking about 16-18 episodes to show any significant growth, which is frustrating looking for a more dynamic protagonist. P'Pin's lack of basic common knowledge often leaves her vulnerable and seemingly helpless.
On the other hand, the male lead, P'Yai, is depicted as stubborn and unfocused. His playful demeanor, especially in the first half of the show, borders on irresponsibility and at times, he appears to be the worst of the worst. P'Yai’s interactions with P'Pin are inconsistent, often treating her without consideration, which adds to the frustration.
The main antagonist, P'Nai, is a character that should have faced justice much earlier in the series. The prolonged charade upheld by P'Yai in dealing with P'Nai feels forced and adds to the overall sense of the plot being unnecessarily extended.
The direction seems to falter with pacing issues, as the series could have effectively concluded around episode 16. Instead, it feels unnecessarily dragged out, which dilutes the impact of the story.
Pin Anong is a must-watch for fans of Thai dramas. Whether you are a longtime fan of lakorns or new to the genre, "Pin Anong" offers a rich and rewarding viewing experience.

You'll loose some of your hair, but it wont be a waste.
Pin Anong is a drama I had on my watch list for almost two years. I was very skeptical about watching because I knew what a slap and kiss drama entails, the reviews for the drama made me see that it was going to be a drama you either love so much or hate from the bottom of your heart. A disease that plagues every blockbuster slap and kiss Lakorn that exists.the first thing I did, as you all should when you watch a Lakorn with a slap and kiss tag, is lower my expectations of normality and peace. you will enjoy the drama once this is done.
Plot
- the plot was well written, it is your typical evil stepmother cliche filled with action-packed drama, a strong and handsome rascal of a male lead, a weak, annoying but lovable female lead, and beautiful and evil side characters to keep the drama going.
The story was very easy to watch, despite it being slightly devastating and very frustrating. But is it really a slap and kiss if you don't lose a few hair strands from the madness it all?
- There was an annoying breakup, but I think the leads needed it a lot because of their lack of trust in each other. Though some tables were left unturned and some things we could have gotten clarity on, they weren't too bothersome.
Acting/characters
Pin Anong was a very simple but complex character, her goodwill caused her to be a very stupid, frustrating, annoying, and gullible person. But despite all this, I couldn't find it in my heart to hate her as many seemed to. All she wanted was peace and middle ground, without hurting anyone, though it ended up costing her a lot.
Khun Yai would have been perfect if not for how aggressive he was. I saw many people admire and compliment him, but despite his heroism, prowess, intelligence, and attractiveness, he was still an aggressive piece of shit at the beginning of the drama, not surprising because every Slap and kiss male lead tends to be like this. but he's lovable for most, if not all of the drama.
the other side characters did their jobs well, we hated those we needed to hate when we needed to hate them and loved those we needed to love when we needed to love them. That's all I'm going to say because I won't be giving any more spoilers.
Is it worth the watch? YES!!!!! try it and see, I've encountered better lakorns but this one probably enters my top five favourites.

His and Hers Stupidity
Pin: Stupid because she can't overcome her conditioning to be loyal to Nai's family, who she has served from childhood. Makes really bad choices as a result. When she does try to protect Yai, it is in the worst possible ways.Yai: Stupid because he expects Pin to love him and trust him when he has done almost nothing but lie to her and threaten her. Does not support her, but constantly tests her faith in him.
Pin & Yai: They don't talk to each other. They could have told each other what they were doing and why. But they were both lying to each other all the time. It was super annoying.
I'd give all that stupidity a bit of a pass if other bits of the plot were being resolved, but at episode 12 they still haven't done much with any of the major reasons why Yai returned: saving the farm, finding Nai guilty of wrong doings, clearing Yai's name, finding out how his dad died, etc. So at this point, I just have to drop it.
There was no rape, but my husband walked in during the scene where Yai angrily chases her around the room and grabs her by the ankle to drag her across the bed. He said, "Is he going to rape her?" So, yeah, Pin had reasons to be afraid of Yai, I don't care how many commenters want to call him a loveable kitten. If, like Pin and my husband, you haven't gotten to see all his other scenes, he is legit scary.
Most interesting part about the show for me was the theme on how the serving class attitudes of loyalty are detrimental to family life. I have a lengthy comment about it in the comments section if you are interested!

happy ending for those who deserve it and a well deserved hell
the run away son comes back to his rich fathers farm to take over after his death, he faced difficulties with his golddegger stepmother and her family. he also meets the young girl he once bullied as a young boy ,the story starts as he acts like an idiot and a savage when in reality he is very smart. he gets himself envolved with a forced marriage to some what help with his revenge. the story has as well the romance, jealousy, anger, betrayal and funny factor in it which makes it great. there are some dramatic and sad scenes as well that makes it heartbreaking to watch sometimes, but the most important thing is that good people found happiness and peace and those bad disgusting people found well deserved hell.Was this review helpful to you?
