This is a good drama. The story doesn't just end with them falling in love with each other but the story goes on with her giving birth and coming back into her mother's life again. I would really like to see the original version to compare how different the drama are. Overall, I did wait until the drama fully aired and have subtitle because it kind of got boring for me after awhile. If you would like to watch this drama, click the link above, under the image and support nekomeowmeow because they are amazing.

I was surprise to see that this was actually the fourth version of this drama because I have never watch this drama before, or seen the other version before. This drama was really good. I was all over the place with this drama. I hated and love this drama throughout the whole entire time. There was part that I was angry at and parts were I was happy. The summary gives you the overall story line to the story but there is so much more to this drama. You have to deal with the cousins and the other aunts of Sakao Duen along with the other characters in the drama. 

8. Bundai Dok Ruk (2011)

Bundai Dok Ruk is a 2011 release lakorn starring Aom Akkaphan, Min Peechaya Wattanamontree and Sammie Puntitha Cowell. 

Tupe and Tien are twins who are the exact opposite. Tien is a carefree and total playboy- or so he seems. Tupe is a stern guy who is a workaholic and doesn't care for any romance. So when Tien meets Krachao at a beauty pageant, it was like love at first sight- or so he though. Tien's mother got worried and asked Tupe to fly back from Switzerland to deal with his little brother. Meanwhile, his father doesn't really care and totally stays indifferent. Krachao didn't exactly care for Tien thinking that he was just some drunk loser that she would never meet again. Plus, she didn't have the time to deal with him anyway since she has a drunkard as a mother and her father left to be with some other woman. Krachao's mother keeps on pressuring her into finding a rich husband so that they'd be rich, hoping that Krachao's father would come back to them. Krachao caves in and decides to go to work where Meegrob is working when she found out that the family have a single son. Tupe and Tien are the owners of the Rachinee Orchid Farm, the best and most well-known orchid farm in Thailand. A little mishap occurred that caused Tupe to believe that Krachao is a terrible woman. He tries in every way to get in between them in order to protect his little brother.

This is one of the drama that I go back to watch whenever I bored and don't have anything new to watch or waiting on new dramas. I do get bored of some part but it really nice to see Aom playing two characters with different female leads. Although this is kind of old, I personally think it a really good drama from these actor and actress.

Prissana is remake lakorn of the same title. This is the third version of these drama. This drama aired in 2000 starring Tik Jesadaporn Pholdee and Taya Sahntaya Rogers. The original drama aired in 1982 followed by a release in 1987. The most current version was release in 2015.

She returns to Thailand after living in America for 12 years and is once again reunited with her family. Prissane, who name means "mystery, a puzzle/riddle," causes quite a stir in Thailand with her open American behavior and refreshing beauty. She catches the attention of a lot of men, including her neighbor and Praweet, the man her third sister, Anong, is in love with. However, she takes no interest in any of them. Instead, she does develop a dislike toward Praweet's best friend, Tan Chai Puthpreecha, whom she has never met. She is prejudiced towards him because everyone puts him on a pedestal because they think he's so great and perfect. Tan Chai Puth is amused by her uplifting spirit and intrigued by her prideful demeanor.

  This is one of my favorite drama growing up. I watch it in Hmong dub and later found it with subtitle and till today, its still one of my favorite drama. I was very excited about the new version because it starred one of my favorite actor of all time but I would safe that for later.

This is also another favorite drama of mine. I grew up watching the Hmong dub version and I'm sad that I still haven't seen the original version. If anyone know where I can, please let me know. This is actually one of the very first drama I have seen of Kob and it's one of the very first drama I can remember watching growing up.



5. Ruk Kern Pikad Kaen (2004)

Ruk Kern Pikad Kaen is a drama starring Mos Patiparn Pataweekarn and Kob Suvanant Kongying.

There is no summary found for this drama but I'll try to do the best I can remember about this drama.

Kob is a daughter of the mafia/gang leader and Mos play a spy uncover. Mos goes uncover and work under Kob's father. He is then assign to protect or guard Kob. They both fall in love with each other after all the challenges and roadblock ahead of them as Mos try to keep Kob safe.

That is all I can remember, but for sure that is another favorite of mines. Kob and Mos was one of my favorite koojin couple growing up. Every time I hear the OST and opening credits play, I feel like a little girl watching the tv and all the childhood memories come back rushing at me.

I love Jui. She is another actress that I love growing up and this drama was another favorite. Of course, I also love Aom too. This drama is one of the drama I can go back and re-watch the whole entire thing without skipping anything. That said a lot. I personally would love to see a newer version of this drama because I love it so much. A remake version can definitely have some changes but its also great to see another version with different actors and actress too.

As he refused to face the accusation and end up going to jail for it, he took our heroine to a countryside home and kept her there against her will.

This is one of my all time favorite drama growing up. I would always re-watch this drama all the time. I mean, my brother and I would always watch it, every single day. This drama is the starting point of where I got to love Dount. I already love Num already by this point but I love this drama. They may portray Num's character as the kidnapper in Dount's character eyes but as the story progress and the truth start coming out, its a very nice story. I would love to see a remake version of these drama because they can change and add a lot of things now but the main leads would be incredible too.

This is another favorite of mine growing up too. I absolutely love Num and Kob together. They are one of my favorite koojin couple growing up. I think there should be a remake of this drama. There are endless of actors and actresses that can play the lead roles completely well like Kob and Num.



1. Paragit Ruk Series (2017)

(Image credit to themoviedb.org)

I'm going to cheat a little bit and put a series together because they can't be separate at all. Although they each have a part of the series but together they all work together so well. I'll go into each of the series because they all different story line and starred they own main leads.

Part 1: Niew Hua Jai Sood Glai Puen

Niew Hua Jai Sood Glai Puen starred Weir Sukollawat Kanarot as Captain Puri and Peak Pattarasaya Kreursuwansiri as Dr. Napaschon.

His mission is to return Dr. Napaschon back to Thailand. Although his heart always pined for her but her recent status has changed Dr. Napaschon is now his friend's girlfriend.

Between love and friendship, what will he choose?

When I first read this summary, I was shock and wanted to see how the story was going to happen and what was going to happen between the friendship but as I was watching it, I understood that it was all *SPOILER* a misunderstanding. The drama and story line was very good. Nothing disappointing at all.

Part 2: Meu Brap Jao Hua Jai

I didn't watch this with subtitle, so majority of the time I didn't understand what they were saying or talking about, but the vibe of the story line and drama was good. Out of the four parts though and honestly, this is in fourth place.

Part 3: Ratchanawee Tee Ruk

I was excited for this part because they both are paired up again. Reading the summary and watching the drama is two different things. For some part of this drama, I was skipping a little bit therefore some information may sound confusing on me but overall, this part of the drama is a good story. If I am correct and remember correctly, they actually dated before in the drama before she started writing the novel.

Part 4: Yeut Fah Ha Pigat Ruk

Yeut Fah Ha Pigat Ruk starred Mick Tongraya as Captain Karan Hanyotin and Steph Stephany Auering as Dr. Irene Areeya or Airada Hanyotin, a scientist.

This part was the part that got me really into it. I couldn't take my eyes off nor could I skip any part. The story line of this part was amazing and off the hook. It was very interesting and off the edge. At first, I thought I was not going to like this pairing at all but it turn out, I really do like them together. I think its there mix look that match each other so well.

That finally ends this blog post. These are my top 10 favorite lakorns release from Channel 7. I will be back with more from other channels.
