Fak Fah Kiri Dao (2020)

Overall - Pretty bad. Watch it only if you really love the casts.
Story - Horrible pacing and storyline. It started off promising, but the story had no resolution at all until the very last episode. It went round and round wasting screen time with useless and repeating scenes, mainly about the two male leads fighting over the female lead. FL was very indecisive, masquerading her supposed 'innocence' to manipulate both MLs. MLs were both stupid and hot headed. I never once believed they truly loved Danika(and vice versa), and felt more like they were only stroking their toxic masculinity. The moms/parent figures were selfish, manipulative, and just plain horrible parents. The story could've so much more, but unfortunately falls flat because the scriptwriter decided to focus on the wrong things.
Casts - The main ML and FL were both okay for their roles, but they had no chemistry at all. Sky was quite believable as the tough son of a mafia boss. Unfortunately, Kiri was severely miscast. He was okay in the first half as the actor has a very gentle look(and suited with the good son character), but he was not believable at all as a rough-gangster type.
Cinematography/Music - Very good. It had one of the best look for a Thai lakorn(I've seen a few). Scenes in the Himalayas were very nice. Music/OST was quite good as well.
Rewatch Value - None.

I hated EVERY SINGLE female character. It's like they share the same braincell: they're all self-centered, selfish, entitled, ready to blame everyone around them when things don't go their way, use people when they need them then throw them away like garbage. They also think they're better than everyone and don't hesitate to humiliate the less fortunate.
The male character were slightly better and more coherent, but I found myself grinding my teeth every time they were around a woman: sexism was skyrocketing, women were portraied like something to win over and own, and every rejection was seen as a challenge. I can't name one single relationship that was healthy, all of the "romances" were based on a wacked obsession rather than love.
Healthy relationship between parents and children? I don't know her.
Oh, almost forgot: the smartest character here has the IQ of a retarded celery stalk.
Going trough this lakorn was painful and it's such a shame because it had all the right cards to be a good story. The setting and the basis were promising but ,god, all of that went down the drain.

I honestly was excited for this, but I was very disappointed. The plot was very interesting, but it was quite cliche. The FL only used the MLs for her benefit and was self centered, indecisive and selfish. The cast had no chemistry what so ever, it could have been better! Don't even talk about the MLs mom, so careless and selfish! But the actress did great to portray her character!
The music itself is very nice, also the plot.
The lakorn is definitely not something I will rewatch, there's too many unnecessary scenes!
Overall, it's something you should watch if you really like the cast (I watched cuz of Pon lol) or if you are really interested.
Not too bad but could do MUCH better!

Great family drama and bromance

Just loved this lakorn so much! And okay the male leads were both SO FREAKING GORGEOUS AND ONLY KEPT GETTING BETTER LOL buuut as far as I'm concerned I love the plot and the crime aspect and most of all the love hate bromance omg sooo mucccch feels !

And sure you can argue that this isn't perfect when it comes to technical greatness but it's not shoddy either. Especially the fights and the action is done so well! But the thing that completely blew me was Pons acting okay.

He's so expressive! His dialog delivery, everything is on point. And also this show gave me another sls XD but at least they didn't completely destroy his character like most asian shows of this type, and they didn't completely make him evil.

And now, the problem I have.

The females lead okay I've seen worse acting so that didn't bug me. What did bug me, was her manipulative nature! Exhibit A - She's romantically involved with Santhrakat but she goes to KHIREE when she wants to get married!!!
Exhibit B - she's MAJORLY ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED WITH SANTHRA FKING KAT BUT SHE KISSES KHIREE - ON THE LIPS FULL ON - JUST TO KEEP HIM AROUND BECAUSE HER AND HER STUPID ASS MOM WHO BTW COULDN'T STAND KHIREE WHEN HE WAS POOR - let's face it her manipulative ways were what got Khiree in trouble in the first place! If she hadn't made him a target for the step father, her step father wouldn't have wanted to ruin the boy's life!

Second MAJOR THING THAT BUGGED ME TILL THE END - Why the hell didn't Khiree even ONCE tell people what really happened that night! This whole miscommunication bs was so pointless. It would have been ok if he'd done it for like a month or even two episodes but anything more was just so frustrating! Because how can anyone including his brother TRULY understand what that man did to him? They kept saying it was Khiree's fault and he NEVER ONCE corrected anyone that he didn't turn up at the wedding because he was being kidnapped and tortured!

Anyway those are all minor gripes and none of this changed my overall enjoyment of the show. Especially when they as a family kill the villain - was that cathartic af lol

So yes. Anyone has recs like this one please tell me XD

started for Pon, watched only for Sarin

●FIRST IMPRESSION
I was frustrated watching this, it was like endless torture to Khiri as well as me. He was the most affection-deprived person in the whole series. i fast-forwarded many times because of the boring ongoing plot.

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I started the show because of 2reasons, firstly Pon Nawasch of course, Secondly, the synopsis read Indian millionaire mafia, so I got curious how the Indian mafias are portrayed in a Thai drama.

●Plot view
The story was going round and round and I dropped it at ep9 and picked it up again months later. The story paced a little fast since episode 9
When Danika is with Khiri she completely sides with him and even scolds SKY. When she is friends with SKY, why can't she make SKY understand, otherwise she is calm and asks SKY for help and then she becomes some1else when finding the right guy. But she herself isn't perfect or honest. She just wanted an escape from her stepdad so she turned to Khiri which makes a 360degree change in his life. the track changed completely to Khiri. His role shadowed everyone but it was written pathetically.

If the father had to forgive the mother in end, why didn’t he do it before, why wait for years to do it.

●ACTING/CAST
SKY was the most obnoxious character and didn’t like a thing about him, except the fact it was played by PON. Indian men don’t really wear traditional clothes as shown by the character of SKY, but he definitely gave an authentic feel and looked amazingly handsome in Indian attire. fight and action were done nicely.
Danika's character is the worst one I have seen, she- completely plays the two guys effortlessly at her fingertips. She enjoyed both of their attention but she covered herself in the honest policy.
The- only character who kept me going was Khiri (Sarin), his action and emotion felt genuine. His naive face tells the story that he is a good guy forced to do bad things. his lean and thin body was perfect when he wasn't able to fight, or displaying they didn't have food to eat and starved. i became his fan and would love to see more of his work.
Suwit and Isari were such loyal mates to servants, their actions were precise and pleasing to watch.

●MUSIC
It was simply boring, maybe because I wasn’t enjoying the story. But truly I didn’t like the OST nor the BGM. I Practically skipped them.

●REWATCH
Absolute NO, it took months to finish once. Although I like Khiri, there was hardly anything good happening to him that I would like to rewatch.

●APPRECIATION
I liked the fact that they wore bulletproof jackets every time they went for a shootout. This thing was really on point, they are rich mafia, and have the brains to use the money.
The Indian culture, food, and traditions of weddings and the beautiful locations, was mesmerizing. They captured varied scenes giving a full-fledged Indian feel in just a few episodes.

●CRITICISM
Why Danika doesn’t want to tell stepdad wrongdoing.
Why Khiri never told anybody about the kidnapping.
both these things were such points that kept bugging until the end.

●QUOTES
You like to watch the star but I like to watch the moon, but it doesn't mean that I hate the stars.

Some things are off for the story line

I watch this cause want to see Sarin, and he portrayed the role so well. Along with it I try to watch the story line. Actually the act skill from all the casts is good, but for the story line is quite missed. Sometimes I questioning like "eh how could be like this?" then its makes me skipped some parts and just want to see Sarin lol. Overall, if you could bear with all the things that kinda "illogical" then you can enjoy the series. Also why they have to beat Kiri all of times? haha please be more gentle with the character, he always suffering (despite I know Inn portrayed this role so well).

If you r fan of pon nawasch then u can watch this

Actually drama was good for me i loved sky role in drama may be this is only reason i like and watched whole drama danika role was soo horrible for me from starting and story was more focused in second lead than main lead and female lead of this drama was not as my exceptation they were trying to explain and justify extramarital relationship danika role doesnot deserve sky khierie role was irritating me like his mom role danika mom role was just disgusting a woman who believes in her husband than daughter shikarian role was good in drama sumit and ishari were good. Sky was best he was always in pain but also he always smiled and ready to die for danika who was not even deserving for lead

Just a typical series whose Male Characters are fighting for a girl

I watched this lakorn mainly because of Sarin Ronnakiat. He is a very good actor-- soft characters suit him well. I don't really know that much about the rest of the characters because the majority of them are new to me. I can say that Pon's character fits him perfectly because his face resembles an Indian character. His acting is also effective too because he annoys me every time he does something bad to Khiree haha. I haven't watched the whole show yet because I don't find it interesting to the point that I would love to know what's the next event on the following episodes.

This lakorn's poster scared me twice: there was the face of Pon Nawasch (I had a horrible experience watching him once before, I had to drop the lakorn) PLUS the old Johnny Anfone (who now looks hideous while his acting skills have NOT improved). So this looks like a piece of work to double terrorize the audience with young & old combo of super-annoying main males who cannot act. For such an exceptional case I haven't even downloaded this lakorn and just tried 1st episode online.

See, I have this strong rule to give a chance to ANYTHING. Nevertheless, sometimes the chance is very brief:) Like watching a single episode of this thing: I couldn't help the natural reflex to skip any scene featuring Pon Nawasch:) I had to like, literally force myself to go back, LOL. At least for 1 episode I'll try to bear with it. If he magically improved, I'll keep watching, I promise, LOL. Of course I skipped the intro with him fighting (too sci-fi to watch, I'm afraid) but at least I tried his meeting THE GIRL. First thing I noticed was his shiny earring. He definitely looked more feminine than the girl (the lips!) What an instant reminder of the unwatchable 'Tra Barb See Chompoo'. Either way, in this role he's supposed to be "indian", therefore he is openly wearing an eyeliner. TERRIFIC.

He's got a rival In Sarin Ronnakiat, while I don't care for him I would cheer anyone against Pon Nawasch... Anyways, his character is yet poor and he can't help the first episode's situation, which is kinda depressing. The main heroine gets sexually harassed daily by Johnny Anfone's character, her beautiful land got into his hands and he's about to waste it, and the only one who can buy it out seems to be the annoying Pon Nawasch's character. What a hell. I really didn't envy this nang'ek.

Then even I got harassed by more scenes of Pon Nawasch trying to portray that he is crying (hell) or going into the fighting ring with his upper body revealed and face painted (hell/comedy) in front of BETTING audience (sci-fi) and then even surviving the fight as a winner (fantasy). I'm afraid such a killer genre mix is too much on my heart, LOL. I had to laugh so hard I nearly choked. But I'm afraid I can't seriously keep watching it. He can play a toot. Or he can play a girl. Perhaps transgender? But not this please, no one can stand to keep laughing so hard. I have only one health. So I'll stick only to one episode. Ok seriously, maybe In Sarin's line would become a watchable later on but I can't help it, Johnny Anfone as lecherous stepfather grosses me out. Too much unwatchable stuff.
