"Asoke`s Shadow" is known to be one of the most popular slap-kiss romances out there.With lots of misunderstandings that causes for angst and much suffering for our main-leads...it has a dark undertone to it.It has a very addicting plot with very vivid characters. Unlike most people,i watched the 1999 version first,cuz the comments appealed to me.Its also the oldest lakhorn i have ever watched and with my luck found English subtitles for it.I have also got to mention that Ae and Ek had MIND-BLOWINGLY SENSUAL chemistry together,he touched her ALL THE TIME and couldn`t even stop when he still said how much he despised her..ahh how i loved it!He was so passionate when he embraced and kissed her.Jamie Bouher did great job in pulling off the evil Nang Rai,her crazy antics both angered me and also made me laugh.Ek and Ae are beautiful together,both did so great in acting through the strain in their irresistible attraction towards each other.

By the way,i also plan to watch the 2008 version of "Ngao Asoke" starring Pong and Peung and will probably skip the 2016 version starring Sean and Eshter,not many people enjoyed it as much.
