Dtaem Rak (2021)

It's a Rom-Com

If I am being totally honest. I think this drama is to put you in a good mood. It's just for laughs. The reason why I say this is because the plot seems to be all over the place (in my opinion), but that still didn't stop me from watching this drama. The plot is basically about Kumarika and how she became a new teacher at Nopphakhun's school. Nopphakhun is actually flirting with her and he basically just looks out for her and stuff. Kumarika also has two really over protective brothers and they don't like how Nopphakhun is flirting on their sister. The genre is a romantic comedy so that is what you should expect. There isn't really isn't major drama.

I love the cast. Maybe it is because I knew everyone that I loved the casting. And it is nice to see June playing a nice and caring role instead of a mean one. This role suits her more in my opinion.

Again, I feel like this drama won't be for everyone, but it is a nice feel good drama if you want to take a break from a heavy dramatic one. Overall I'd probably give it a 7.5/10.

OTT on speed, such fun!

Try this series only if you are willing to give yourself over to trying a modern Thai Cinderella story with deliberately exaggerated everything, from acting to gestures. There are two evil other women. Two brothers (aka Beavis and Butthead, my favourites) that aren't evil but still try to break up the H&h. And of course family drama and a prince charming.
So why did I like it so much? Because it's all done with a bit of a wink and doesn't take itself too seriously. And its good old slapstick at its best. If there was a category for choreography I'd give this one a 10, because every time the h falls and the H caches her the cinematography of it keeps getting better. Yes, it's that kind of a show...
They did an excellent job with the wardrobe, you can know the characters just from how they dress: good Cinderella with her pastels and lace vs. The wicked Witch with her harsh power suits, mostly in black. Plus the cute music is great.
My only complaint, and maybe it's a given in Thai shows, is that it drags a bit in the middle and could have been two episodes shorter.
