Stalking my second leads
This review may contain spoilers
This is my second favorite Thai Lakorn/Drama, I cannot believe I never made a review about this drama. I'll be writing a medium sized review so get buckled up for the world of pleasure that is Raeng Pratana.
Why do I love this drama?
The acting, I've never been a fan of Nadech. I respect him and this is the one lakorn which I have truly appreciated his acting to the fullest event (I've seen two lakorns of him-one with Mew and this one). Kimberley is already recognized for her acting which is truly award winning so no less I am a fan of her since this lakorn, the cast is well acted. I did not like the Nang Rai, Ravee obviously and I felt no remorse for her but she could act. The evil second male lead if you could call him that, Poowadon is acted by Alex Rendell for someone with his build (not saying it's bad he is an amazing guy and actor but his build is not that believable for a lakorn villain who are usually really buff and tall with a non baby face), I thought he was casted wrong for the character he was an evil rapist playboy who tries to win against Pit (Nadech's charecter), by using Ravee or Thae (Kimberley's character), and boy he played the role truly the best by the end I couldn't imagine anyone else to be this slimy jerk of a human being who should have been born as a trash can, I can say Alex Rendell has more to him, than what meets the eye. The rest of the supporting cast did a great job, and I can say I've never enjoyed a lakorn family more than Thae's. This lakorn is also a family part drama so I guess I really loved the acting of the whole cast. Kimberley and Nadech's chemistry, man they should get another section but this is a medium sized review so I need to keep it short, Kimberley and Nadech has this electrifying chemistry and I can say it lives up to expectations and they have chemistry that is definitely as good as Pon and Bua, Mark and Yaya's chemistry, Mik and Aum P (My favorite lakorn couple). This lakorn had no real kisses and without that even you should precede because there is fake ones sometimes, and also the couple never seems like brother and sister because holy cow if you put Nadech and Kimberley in a screen, your eyes will be on them and you'll feel burning and butterflies in your stomach and at this point you would be like: There is no way, they are not dating in real life. (I know I know, I love Mark Kim and I respect Nadech and Yaya but this was my first actual lakorn and I actually believed Nadech and Kimberley were together until I started googling them, I was sad and petty for 5 months no s*** but I became a better person lol). I honestly went into this lakorn, knowing nothing about Nadech and his ability not to kiss anyone than Yaya, and Channel 3 but I thought Nadech and Kim were going to steamy kiss in the first episode, and that's how good their chemistry is and I spilled the Tea. Imagine if Nadech and Kim paired up now with real kisses, it would shake the lakorn world (This is Nadech's highest rated lakorn even without Kisses, so I am not exaggerating) still waiting.
I love the plot. its probably something not really new but I loved it. I love how they loved each other for forever and I loved how they bickered but it was evident that they couldn't take their eyes off each other. I did not like how Pit felt that he did not deserve Thae due to simple status but its something I do see in Asian Movies and Dramas, being an Asian American myself. So I could let that slide.
Before you drop this at episode one, because even if you think Nadech and Kim have good chemistry but you cannot look past the spoiled female lead, think twice or triple times because Thae has some serious character development, by the end I loved Thae and was kind mad at Pit haha.
The characters were also complex so it takes sometime to get used to them turns out Pit isn't just our Nice Male Lead (though I would say he is least complex out of the main cast), but these characters are well written and its just amazing to think of how complex, and the dynamic change as the female lead at the start is your typical second female lead and the second female lead is the main female lead but it soon changes and I believed the essence was really amazingly caught and I loved this lakorn again.
I won't write more, and please watch this lakorn. Trust me I am doing you a favor, this is a long lakorn and dramacool has is uploaded within 30 episodes so if your at episode 16 and your like "No character development meh" remember that is only halfway into the lakorn, and it is a slow burn so...Never skip around with this drama if you do, you won't get to see changes. I hope my review and advice helped on you deciding if you should watch this lakorn or not because truly I recommend you to, now you don't have to follow me but it's your loss...LOL
