This version of "Hua Jai Sila" (which means "Heart of Stone") has come to be one of the highest rated lakhorn in year 2019. It`s a slap-kiss romance that develops greediness,obsession, power, jealousy and double standards. Its a drama that you can`t take your eyes off because its filled with entertainment and excitement. We root for the seductively tortured Sila (played by Tor Leeluttanakajorn) to win his game filled with hate and vengeance against his enemies, and for the pure-hearted and bright Mintra (played by Ferny Lerkkajornnamkul) to heal his heart with her love and patience. The title to this series represents the relationship between Sila and Mintra by the metaphor..and a question: "Have you ever seen a flower grow on a stone?" While Sila represents a heartless stone, Mintra represents the flower who will capture him...and bring light and love to him. Its`s a beautiful and heart-wrenching love-story my friends. One no Romance-Lover should ever miss!
For 15 years our Male Hero, the night-club owner Sila Wisaetworawade have waited for a right time to start out his quest for revenge.He is respected and feared by everyone underneath and over his status, and has come to be a mastermind in both business and crime. He makes a deal with his aunt Mam, that if the villains still doesn`t get their karma and continues to murder people,he will wait no longer to take a step to create that karma against them himself. Its his step-mother and half-brother he wants to punish...and in turn that quest for revenge also turns into an obsession. The only one who stands in his way, is his reunion with his child-hood friend and the only human being who always treated him with kindness, the now bold and bright architect Mintra Kanaseegoon who finds his very resemblance to her once a dear child-hood friend Tor. Sure they are the same persons she is stubborn with insisting that its the same Tor who drowned to death that same horrific night. But in this journey of wills and fights...the bond between Sila and Mintra surfaces into a blooming love neither of them could ever resist.
Every episode meant a lot to me, and to watch the character developements of Sila is a trip i could never get tired of. Tor`s performance as the cold-hearted,ambitious,deceptive seducer and a gamer as Sila is sexy, charismatic and beautiful all at the same time. After seeing Tor`s performance in the romantic fanatsy comedy "Leh Lub Salub Rarng" in a supporting role, a saw a lots of potential from him as a actor and entertainer...and damn how happy i was for him to prove that potential in a as complex Anti-hero role as Sila in "Hua Jai Sila". He carried on a weight of pain and loneliness that showed in Sila`s eyes. He had lost everything because of his step-mother...even his own identity after she tried to kill him. He is like a hell-bent bitter man that are suffocated in this world of principles and glamour he now lives in. I love that his aunt Mam was the one who could bring true warmth to this cold-hearted young man...and as he said:she was the reason he could live on and not get full head mad and self-destructive. But in the mean time his beloved soulmate Mintra is the only one who could distract him,capture his mind in a sense no one else could, fill him with real happiness and make him open his heart for the whole world to see. She became his heart, and without her he would never be able to live.
Ferny`s acting as Mintra is honest. She showed how naive and selfless Mintra are, and how supportive and protective she is of her family. Her devotion to her evil half-sister despite the abusiveness and harsh bullying she receives from her, Mintra never wavered in her love for her. She is indeed a curious creature who takes decisions without thinking, which always gets her in trouble...but that`s the idea of giving more drama to the whole story i guess. She spends many episodes of hating Sila, because he is the result of her unhappiness, but i am glad that when she fully understands him..she stick to his side and never leaves him no matter what. These two people comes from the same backgrounds, both being born because of an affair. The bond is there the second they reunites many years later...and the undenyable amazing chemistry between Ferny and Tor is also one of the reasons this show has come to be such a fascinating experience. Every dialuge, touch,kiss and glance between them as Sila and Mintra are gold to the extreme. I am NOT kidding about that!
As for the villians...OH MY GOD what a despicable psychopaths the step-mother and the half-brother was! No wonder Sila hated them to the death and wanted to make them suffer blood! Both mother and son were heartless, narcissistic, black-hearted murderers who looked down on everyone. While i also think the son deserved his ending 100 %, i found the character of the evil step-mother Sida (played by Siriam Pakdeedumrongrit) was really well-developed and had a depth as she indeed in a way was a unique sort of villian. I also have to mention what a powerful Siriam acted as Sida and how perfectly she showed the mightyness and evilness of Sida. She is a pride and strong woman who is a surviver and fighter in her heart. All for wrong reasons of course, but she is a woman who however evil...do appreciate goodness. She herself admits that she lost her heart the moment she found out that her husband had an affair and has a bastard child with that mistress. She points out that Sila`s mother and aunt both are dead peacefully, while she still has gone on living with a dying soul and tormented heart. Sida herself is a well-made villain herself too, and while i do not condone her for what she has done...she does indeed get the punishment she fully deserves. I just have to mention again how wonderfully the actress acted as Sida- a worthy villain indeed.
Great acting by everyone in the whole cast, skill-ful directing and wonderful story-line that develops in a different way than how the older version did.I also love the background music, especially "I need to get you out of my head" and the old song (that is from the older version that also shows in this 2019 version sung by Tor) " Hua Jai Kong Ter".This is a slap-kiss romantic thriller drama...so expect lots of forced kissess, burning chemistry, sexy romance, murder, games of win or take,jealousy, heart-break, badass sexy hero...and a brave heroine who dares to love him.!
