Yah Leum Chan (2014)

"Yah Leum Chan" (which means:"Forget Me Not") is a romantic slap-kiss drama that showes us the second chance love-story between separated lovers, Tik Jesadporn starring as the energic and ruthless Tycoon Khemachad, and Anne Thongprasom starring as the gentle and angelic Suriyawadee. All viewers had looked forward on watching Tik and Anne star on-screen together, as they both have had acting careers over a decade and they finally choose to be on this lakhorn-project together for the first time. Suriyawadee marries a much older man to repay her family debts, and in turn has to leave her college sweetheart Khemchad. Leaving only a note, telling him to forget her, he soon gets crashed by a car and almost died. Her leaving him to marry a older rich guy makes him a dying living human being, and losing all the love he could ever feel in his heart he is determined to clear his studies and become a rich and powerful businessman just to spite Suriyawadee if he ever sees her again. Several years forward they meet again, and Khemchad has succeded in both fame and fortune, but is feared by all his employes and enemies, except his optimistic girlfriend Gaenlong (played by Rita Jensen), and Suriyawadee herself has a changed name,is a widow and have twins she is taking care of. The hatred carved into Khem`s heart multiplies when he sees Suriayadee again and swears to make her life a living hell, and hurt her the same as she hurt him before.

Revenge, seduction, forbidden love is a mix in between over the whole path in the story. Its a wonderful sight to watch Tik and Anne interact, opening the longing and pain inside the characters of Khem and Wadee. Fate did bring them together, and both of them did unknowingly choose to follow it. Many will also fan-girl over the secondary romance between Kong and Rita, their friend-to-lovers story line are so utterly adorable! Many will despise Khem`s personality (i even succeded in hating him more than i ever hated Kawee or Kongpop) as he is not the young carefree innocent man he once was in college. He is soothing hatred and does many selfish actions just for the satisfaction of it, and even seduces and tricks Wadee for revenge. But damn does he also grovel blood,hehehe! The director who brought us "Buang Hong","Tarm Ruk Keun Jai" and "Raeng Pradtanaha" and the producer who brought us "Kluen Cheewit"," Sawan Biang" and "Sood Snaeha" have both collaborated to create this lakhorn in which a important flower symbolize eternal love between Khem and Wadee, which is "Forget me Not".

I'm a huge Anne fan. I've seen just about all her lakorns and I think she's a fabulous actress. I've seen Tik in one or two shows before and his acting is good as well, but together these two just didn't work for me. I know a lot of fans were clamoring for this pairing, but the chemistry between these two just wasn't that good. I honestly don't know if it's just not there or if it was that the plot was a hot mess. There were spots of nice chem here and there, but nothing consistent.

Speaking of the story. I was confused for the first few eps and then frustrated for the rest of the show. I thought it was just silly that Suri didn't try to explain herself more often. I know it was for dramatic purposes, but it's just sloppy writing. I also hated how demure Suri was. Chem was just a major jerk who just got all kinds of ideas in his head and ran with them. I didn't care for either of our lead characters here.

What's funny is that I actually liked Rita's character more here. She was funny and kinda feisty. Still dumb for dealing with Chem, but she wasn't at all pressed about him and she seemed like a woman that knew she deserved the best because she had a lot to offer. I don't really remember much about the other supporting characters. They were annoying or just didn't register. Personally, I tell fans that want to see Tik and Anne pair up to skip this one and pray that they team up again. If you're gonna watch in, go in with low expectations.
