Really leightweight Lakorn which is funny!
I first bumped into this Lakorn by stalking Nadech's profile on MDL (like I do regularly with my favourite actors/actresses) and actually disregarded this Lakorn as it ,at that time, hadn't been published yet. Later, when I read the article " To Me, It's Simply You: From the Heart of Isan " by Cho Na I became quite curious.And I definitely was not disappointed!
Not only do we learn more about more environment-friendly agricultural methods, but learn more about the Isan Thai people and their culture.
The ML played by Nadech is quite a funny crybaby character that, along with the other characters, goes through quite a character development. The FL is a tough, all-rounder, capable character that has a leadership role in her community and stands for the good. Their close friends go through their own little crises and the 2nd male interest, who is also one of the friends, adds a nice touch of comedy to it.
Overall, the drama is really lovely, as we get to see many different dynamics and relationships and also learn more about the Thai Isan culture. It's heartfelt and could be described as a love letter to the Isan Thai people and region. The many funny moments, which most of the time are goofy and should not be taken too seriously, add a nice amount of lightness to the whole drama.
Criticism:
- few plot holes and plot lines were left open
- scenes can seem a little too goofy or "overdone" that it is more cringy
- you will probably, at one point in the Lakorn, will be totally done with the ML and or the FL, because of their personality and behaviour
Also, the dance sequences are the best!
I'm just saying the planting song, the cucumber song and the multiple performances! You will definitely catch yourself humming the songs or doing the dance moves more often than not.
Spoiler : (Kindish kept it pretty rough so that it isn't directly a spoiler, as i don't really specify on things )
Ep 11 The long-awaited confession had me on an emotional rollercoaster. Teacher Rick is playing with our feelings, and it's an up and down, within a few minutes.
