Sapai Glai Peun Tiang (2009)

Another promising one that did not deliver

This one was actually a promising one.
I'm watching all the lakorns - as I'm a sucker for romance:) This had the great leading pair: the comedy-proficient Anne plus our Chakrit (pra'ek you love/hate:) Also good setting, she was a policewoman frisking him in the bathroom and not worried to get shot at.
I was prepared to enjoy this a lot no matter how silly it's gonna get, and at times it almost delivered, yet at the most crucial times it got only awkward. Bed/kiss/skinship scenes were a disaster. I accept Chakrit's acting skills can be questionable, but both him and Anne were veteran romance leads in their thirties. To have fake/stiff kiss scenes looking this awkward is either their shame or the director's. Apart from that, there were couple moments in the story that had great potential and all were left unfulfilled. Om Akkaphan Namart is there also as an unrequited whippersnapper (wow!:) and even that's laid off and he heads off to have a corny 'annoying-one-another-to-death' pursuit of some other girl.

Unfortunatelly, not a re-watch quality lakorn.

I feel bad that my first review on this site is such a lukewarm one. But that's pretty much how I felt.
Story: from the get-go we know who are the bad guys. I watched to the end just because I wanted to see how they would get caught.
Acting: the male lead (Chakrit) also kept me watching because he was really good. Anne was really bad in this drama (in my humble opinion). I was really surprised by how unlikable the character turned out to be. I simply don't know if it was because of her acting or because of the writing. Other than her, every single character did a great job.
Rewatch value: though it was not the worst drama I've seen, I will never rewatch it again. It was hard enough to finish it the one time.
