Tok Kra Dai Hua Jai Ploy Jone (2019)

For those of you that are curious if this show is good or not, IT'S GREAT. lol. I came into the show with no expectations and that's how you kind of need to go into any thai show really LOL. But the FL is funny and tough, she has a good heart but she really is just trying to get through what she can in life. The ML is HILARIOUS, sweet dude, good at what he does and they're just cute. The chemistry between the 2 characters are just amazing. I absolutely adore the country side, I love the kids, I love the families, I just like the story overall. They basically go through trial and errors and yes there's stupid ex and some random drama but other than that, nah, it's a good show, you don't want to stop watching it and it's funny. Everyone is entertaining, it's a good story, the romance is just not terrible at all, like, I dig it.

The acting is great! It's fitting for every character, they just do well at what they do. The FL is great at what she does, the ML is nice and friendly, the kids add characteristics and Natthew's acting, woohoo.

The music is FANTASTIC!!!

Honestly, if you're just looking for something to kill time and you're bored, this is the show for you. This show is fun and entertaining, it really pulls you in and you just are watching it with no expectations or needs. So good, I'd rewatch definitely.

Watching the 1st episode of this remake... Not only is the main couple's cast... er... different, they don't seem to be the same characters. I mean the show is supposed to be funny, but the main characters' behavior was not this silly.

You must understand how painful this is for me. 'Tok Kra Dai Hua Jai Ploy Jone 2003' was the 1st lakorn I EVER watched. It would never occur to me before to watch something from Thailand. Had I not stumbled upon it on Viki years back, had I not liked it so much, I would NEVER watched the 400 other thai lakorns. It was very bad picture quality. It was bad sound quality, it had ridiculous looking visuals... But it was SO romantic AND funny at the same time! There was the classic bullsh*t from lakorns, but not much of it. And what I also appreciated was, that both nang'ek & pra'ek were very likeable. Now, Pae Arak is someone who already reached 35 and changed and is not the young hot guy anymore and now is supposed to be the "new" star in 'My Girl' (where the original guy was younger) or in THIS lakorn?! Where the "good old" Tik WAS YOUNGER! And if we talk about likeable, you know how RARE is to find a likeable GIRL. That's what Mam was. That's what 100 today girls are not but unfortunatelly, that wasn't enough: they had to put distinctively unlikeable girl in this. I did watch her in 2 previous shows. First I disliked, second I dropped. I know viewers of this who don't know the old version were surprised how cute & good story this has (The countryside setting done right. NO birth secrets. NO revenge. NO cross-dressing. NO rich people. NOTHING supernatural. NO hidden/switched identity. NO rape. Ridiculous crime element which was cute NOT annoying. And even children who were not annoying, but adorable and actually added to the romance!) but it was stolen from THERE. The only quality here is the repeated one.

Episode 2: LOADS of Pae Arak and Gypso Ariigantha. Sorry, but that's a big no no. I am just not interested in this, so I am dropping this even before Ice Athichanan appeared, I didn't finish the second epi to the end, I'll rather watch the old version again, or something else. But hey, Tik isn't dead. There is a 2018 show with him called 'My Detective Buddy Is A Ghost', and while 41, Tik still looks okay in there (definitely better than Pae Arak) PLUS there is Chakrit, who is SO adorable as haunting ghost, lol. It's funny and not the forced kind funny, like here. So, I'm off:)
