"Fah Pieng Din" (which means "When the Sky Falls") were one of the anticipated lakhorns for me in year 2022 and i was giddily excited when the trailer got released. We have the beautiful actress Prang Kannarun playing our brave heroine Chompoo who had to change her name into Sarika to hide from the villains, and our very charismatic actor Film Thanapat portraying the arrogant and slightly mad anti-hero Thewarat. In their reunion...the sky fell on the earth without Chompoo & Thewarat realizing it. It was a destined meeting and a rather explosive one since they despise each other on sight. This was a unforgettable love-story, with action and lots of drama mixed in. I loved this journey.

I love the scenery in this lakhorn, the nature and the animals and the buildings. All of it were beautiful. To top it all the main-leads are beautiful as well. Everytime Thewarat glanced at Chompoo, even in anger...goosebumps would attack me all over again. He was so drawn to her and he fell so hard for her. Even Chompoo wondered when their love started. According to me, it started when they were kids, thinking they were biological siblings. Not only were they playmates, but both cared for each other in a more mature level than most children usually do. Don`t get me wrong, their love was innocent, but it was there and it was destined to only bloom into the love a man and woman have for each other when they become adults. Exactly as it happened to Chompoo & Thewarat when they reunited. Chompoo doesn`t know this handsome caring brother of hers anymore when they meet again, he has turned into a stranger talking in only the ways of money. He is hateful, arrogant and such a snob he makes her want to slap him hard in the face. Which she also does later on,lol. But she also doesn`t realize how broken his soul actually is, how madness is there lingering in his mind, eating at his heart. Living with a guardian that has made his life a living hell ever since he lost Chompoo and their father. That guardian is the main villian Pitak, portrayed by the iconic actor Captain Phutanate who by the way also portrayed Thewarat in the 2001 version of "Fah Pieng Din".

Since the story is set in 60s and yearly 70s in Thailand, this was a very brutal and barbaric times. So expect lots of violence in this story. It is quite cruel in what Chompoo & Thewarat goes through in this story. Your heart breaks for them since both are victims of such terrible deceits in this story. Thewarat`s breakdown was to be expected, Film managed to portray and give a heart to this complex character. I just could not help but love him, he tried so hard to sustain his goodness. He tried to make up for the bad stuff he did by hurting himself, he made me cry in his utter pain and loneliness and helplessness of his empty life. Only Chompoo could give him happiness and solace to his soul. He never expected it, he did not want it. But he did embrace it with a brave mind.I love how he stood his ground and fought hard to win Chompoo`s love and trust. Even when he did come to the realization that Sarika is Chompoo (and he thinks they are biological siblings) he still could not leave her as a brother or lover. His heartbreak when he came to the realization that Sarika is Chompoo made me cry rivers.

Prang is a actress i have come to truly love in all the lakhorns i have seen her in supporting roles ("Sai Lub Ruk Puan" and "Love Destiny") and i always wanted her to have a awesome lead role. Finally got it here. She looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL as Chompoo/ Sarika and gave a incredible performance in highlighting the classiness of the character mixed with a badass confident attitude in where she mouthed facts to EVERYONE who wanted to cross her, especially our leading male Thewarat,LOL. Ahhh, how she infuriated him in the early episodes. I loved it. Also what a stunning picture she made when she played the violin in that white/pink dress,just wow. Not surprised at all that Thewarat could not stop stare at her, or with him even announcing that they are getting engaged in front of the whole audience. Just awesome, i love it. I love this lakhorn, do not regret watching it at all!
