Maya Tawan (2013)

Frankly I was surprised how bad this was... I watched 'Fah Krajang Dao' first, and that had the conclusion for all three stories, so this pair was there too, only a couple of scenes, but cuute sort of happy ending!:) So I was looking forward to 'Maya Tawan', and got quite disappointed.

The opening song by Pijika is totally sweet and completely corresponds with sweet cute looks of Urassaya Sperbund, but what fails is the lakorn itself that follows it. To say it does not do the opening song justice would be an understatement. Atichart is just plain annoying in this... Whenever he starts yelling, his acting drops below average. It's painful to watch (and listen). He's really not cut out for these type of roles (in 'Jam Loey Rak'/'Borisut Bumbut Kaen', I've seen the worst of him so far).

Besides Atichart & Yaya having enough age gap themselves, the story is featuring another Romeo, 20-year older Sornram Theappitak (yeah, the one from the old 'Dung Duang Haruetai'!) wearing a huge quiff on his head that's supposed to distract the viewers from noticing his age, or smth. Apart from that there are some people living in the pra'ek house, most of them loud screamers, but one of them is nicknamed Parrot (Boon Arthur Benjakul) and he's actually cute, and nice character. Not enough to watch this for him, though. I was not interested in whatever happens to the Yaya's young reporter or Atichart's ex-actor hero... yawn.

When shall the thai lakorns give up on being crime themed? Every time they do that their quality goes LOWER not higher. Overall even 13 episodes felt like too many. I started skipping since early episodes (I lost my overall interest before I reached half of this lakorn) and almost dropped it entirely, in the end I just fastforwarded through the rest to quickly move on the still unwatched 'Mon Jun Tra'... Can't be worse than this.
