Lah Ruk Sut Kob Fah (2014)

Entretenido, fácil de llevar

Me ha gustado bastante, en general, todo el drama. Pese a ser 20 capítulos de hora y media larga no se hacen pesados ni hay relleno que estire la trama.
Que el Guardia Real tiene a su país antes que nada se entiende, pero algunas de las cosas que llega a hacer para proteger al Príncipe (que no a la Corona, sino a él como persona), son más que cuestionables.
La chica, a veces, peca de niñata egoísta y hacen que me genere cierto rechazo, pero en general su química y avance de la relación es muy bueno.
Las actuación del Príncipe me ha parecido algo mediocre y la de Mintra bastante buena (la mirada y gestos obsesivos llegan).
La nanita que cantan al piano se te acaba metiendo en el cerebro, es bonita.
En conclusión, entretenida, aunque en los capítulos finales hay bastantes altibajos en el guion.

I'm surprised nobody has reviewed this lakorn yet! The plot summary drew me in, but its really the lead couple who shines here. They really had chemistry together and their characters were great as well. Out of the few lakorns I've seen, Mattana has been my fave female lead by far. I was worried in the beginning she was just going to be a spoiled brat, thankfully she wasn't. I loved how active she was, willing to save herself, but also put her life on the line to help those she believes in. She had just as much to do as Kamin, which was a nice change as many action lakorns that i've seen usually has the lead girl stay out of the action (unless she's getting saved, lol). Kamin was great as well, of course. Him being so dedicated to Raya and duty-bound to the Royal Family made the angst when he starts having feelings for Mattana so good! Plus he looks really fine here...
Other side characters were interesting too. I really felt for Haruethai and her evolution throughout the show was great. Some characters weren't so great tho. The Prince was just completely inconsistent, I can't believe anyone thinks he would make a good ruler (ugh, gross, Really show? Really?!!) and a lot of the villains motivations (not to mention plans) were weak and repetitive. I think the show was strongest sometime around the middle episodes, unfortunately some tension was lost towards the end with a ridiculously cliched 'injury' plotline that I won't mention in case of spoilers.
For the most part I really enjoyed the music. Nittra/Sweet Dreams was beautiful and haunting, it really fit the scenes it was played it in. Production values were good as well and I really liked some of the costumes.
So overall I'd say the setup is great, writing could have been much tighter and they really could have done so much more with the story. Lead couple is great together and as separate individuals, completely worth watching (but just fast forward through some of the boring side parts, lol).
