Soh Wayree (2020)

Bofetada/beso

No es algo para alardear pero esta es una de mis telenovelas tailandes as favoritas. Si te gustan las telenovelas cargadas de toxicidad machista esta es la tuya, ya que aparte de eso, si estás lo suficientemente loca como yo, es increíblemente hermosa.
El Praek es guapísimo, súper atractivo, es posesivo y celoso. Pero también bastante ambiguo y saca bastante de las casillas. Pero merece la pena la excesiva ingenuidad del protagonista en cuanto a la situación, y toda su estupidez, por verle en esas escenas cargadas de dramatismo y química sexual entre los protagonistas.
La Naeng es perfecta, no le saco defecto alguno, era hermosa, inteligente, madura, bondadosa, buena madre, pero no por ello era la típica protagonista idiota, se defendía algo más que muchas otras protagonistas de este tipo de novelas. Era tenaz, capaz y se sacaba ella misma las castañas del fuego sin ayuda de ningún hombre. Al final su cálido corazón perdona al protagonista por todas sus injurias, y tienen su final feliz.
Definitivamente la recomiendo para los fans del Slap Kiss tailandés.

Worth your time if you get past the controversial premise

This series starts with a very controversial premise, FL got drugged by a 'friend' and was 'sold' to the ML who mistook her for a prostitute (not putting spoiler tags here as this is basically on the first 10mins of the drama). If you in any way cannot stomach this, then DO NOT CONTINUE WATCHING as this drama (similar to other lakorn) has many other questionable scenes and it will only for sure upset you and it is not fair to give it a very low rating because of this. Lakorns are their own kind and shouldn't be compared to Kdramas and real life. If you know you are being served chicken, you should not expect it to taste like pork.

If you are able to get pass Episode 1 and willing to open your mind and just be entertained then this Lakorn is WORTH YOUR TIME.
Now rating this as a lakorn, I would say I enjoyed it a lot and perhaps it is the best this year.

-it is surprisingly fast-paced with no annoying filler or secondary plot (I remember even in KluenCheewit which I like, I tend to skip scenes that are not with the maincouple as I find them tedious)

-on the first 5 episodes the ML is basically an obnoxious caveman, grabbing, force kissing, verbally abusing, literally harassing the FL. He seems non redeemable, but things actually gets better episode 6 onwards.

-this lakorn has the best second couple, usually I don't care so much about second couple but in this one I really enjoy seeing Chen and Na. Their relationship was the most natural, normal and comedic. I love this combination of the spoiled rich boy and the tomboyish no non-sense bff of the FL. Na's character is definitely one of the best, she's super chill and the voice of reason on this drama.

-the ending wasn't rushed. They took 3 episodes to start wrapping it up. Unlike other lakorns where you only get like 5 minutes of happy moments, in this drama it is satisfying to see how it ended for each character. It is also refreshing to see that the antagonist are not as evil or ridiculous as in usual Lakorn. By the end of the drama, they were able to humanize the characters.

-there are many eyerolling moments, but this is lakorn so just roll with it HAHA. It kept me watching and entertained the whole time so not much complaint there.

-The editing is also good, the story itself as mentioned is questionable at certain point, but the flow was good. I remember watching Husband in Law and the editing and cuts made by the director is so confusing.

-The script could have also been improved to justify the character's behaviors, specially on the controversial scenes mentioned. It would probably lessen the hate directed at the ML if he got a better script explaining why he did what he did.

-The actors seems to be rookies but overall okay. Kem's acting (ML) is no way near the level of Mark Prin or even Mik Thongraya but he did pretty well for a beginner. He is also handsome but I would say it's obvious he's still very young, there are angles where he looks kinda chubby with his baby cheeks. He could work out a bit to get more chiseled. Mookda (FL) is also okay, nothing spectacular but she delivered. Her makeup sometimes looks off though, the orange lips doesn't suit her and she looks prettier with her hair down. The person in charge of the clothing also seemed to think throwing in as much designer stuff into an outfit will make the characters classy, but sometimes it just looks tacky.
