If you are very sensitive or have a hard time watching/seeing drug addiction, abuse, rape, and suicide I will say be careful watching this series. I wouldn't recommend it at all if you can't handle these types of stuff. But I found it very interesting and realistic.

Story:
The story is about 5 teenagers and their family problems and addiction. Each character is very complex and had difficult backgrounds. It amazes me how detailed each storyline was. I don't think there were any plot holes. This series is one of those series that shows the reality of life and examples of a dysfunctional and unhappy family. It also really shows the effects of unhealthy addictions and drugs.

The series is straightforward but so complex at the same time. I'm not too sure how to explain it. In my eyes how the series played out from start to end was written so realistically. I don't want to say the ending is a happy ending, but I really liked how it ended off.

Cast:
The casting was absolute perfection. If you have never seen any of the main characters before, you have been living under a rock. Like always, their acting just blows you away. If you have seen any of the cast's past works, you'll understand what I mean. Plus I feel like most people came here for Fluke, but I came because of Ploy. I just love her acting.

Overall:
This drama is different from all the ones right now. This drama got me coming back for more because it was so good. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I have some type of connection to the characters of this series. Maybe because I relate or know people that have been through similar situations. If you think you can handle it, I REALLY recommend this series, but I will give you a trigger warning. I give it a 10/10.

This drama really isn't for everyone

For the most part, I enjoyed it. I went in without any expectations. I didn't really know anything about the plot besides a whole bunch of international students living together. There is hints of romance and some of the plot lines had potential, but there wasn't really a whole lot to it. There was so many ways to make the plot more developed and talk about being an international student, but they didn't do that. I guess the plot to most people is the con, but to me it was bearable. I will add there were very questionable things that didn't sit right at times and if you watch it you get what I mean. I also will add, if you hate laugh tracks, you will not like this sitcom/drama at all.

I loved the casting. I think that was the best part of the drama. It was nice to see a lot of familiar faces. It is pretty rare to see foreigners that actually know how to act. For the most part, most of them are new actors so I wasn't expecting a lot, but I was pretty impressed. Especially with Youngjae and Minnie, it was nice to see them act together in this sitcom, so I'm looking forward to seeing them act again.

I personally enjoyed it with a few exceptions and take my rating lightly because I liked it better then most. I give this drama/sitcom a 7.5/10.

Story:
I personally enjoyed this series. In my eyes, the plot was pretty solid. The plot was straight forward. It is about a fashion designer named Rarin and an actor named Tanthai. They can also read each other's minds whenever it rains, hence the name of the series. Rarin likes to talk to Tanthai, while Tanthai doesn't like it. They finally meet one day because Rarin is using Tanthai as a model. The story basically progresses from that point.

I think I really enjoyed the series because I liked how nontoxic the main couples were. And the whole mind-reading in the rain is cute. The series wasn't anything new, but it was really refreshing. I think it was because of the whole mind-reading and how nontoxic the characters were. Normally, dramas have the characters do some type of push and pull game. They didn't do that really in this drama. I will say there were sometimes uncertainty, where Rarin specifically was unsure of their relationship but was understandable and watchable.

Cast:
The cast was also really good, I think the people that impressed me the most was probably Na's and Cherreen. This is the first time I've seen Na with the main role. I only saw him briefly in Until We Meet Again, so I didn't know that much about him. I was just impressed that his acting was really good. On the other hand, I've seen quite a few of the series Cherreen was in and I was so impressed because her acting has improved so much. It just made me love her even more.

The rest of the cast also was really good as well. This was the first time I've seen Linn and Fluke and they made an amazing first impression on me. I thought they brought their own type of charm to the series and I loved it.

Overall:
Again, I really just enjoyed this series. There isn't a whole lot of dramas that make me want to come back to watching them these days. It's even harder to find a drama that is good pacing. I give it an 8/10.

Story:
The story is about a women named Momay who has lived for 2000 years because of a curse. The curse was put onto her because she didn't want to marry a guy she did not love. Present day, Momay works at a company called The Year and writes historical articles. Moo Tod is a new intern at the company. Moo Tod comes into the company trying to solve a series of murders that have been going on. Momay finds that among the men around her, one of them is her true love and can break the curse and finally die.

[Spoiler, kinda]
The beginning started pretty good, I think the last two episodes left more questions then answers though. Like how are certain people alive, how did the curse work, the whole sibling situation by itself I wished was explained better. The story has potential since it's really different. I liked the whole fantasy aspect. GMMTV (specifically the ones that are on GMM 25) don't do a whole lot of fantasy or sci-fi dramas so it's nice to see something different.

Acting/Cast:
The acting was alright, but I can't tell if the characters were supposed to be awkward or not have a whole understanding of emotions. I love Aom and Off, but for some reason their characters had a lack of emotions. Honestly, I feeling like the side characters stood out a lot more when it came to that. But I will say, everyone was cute and added something to the drama. Plus, I was happy to see Aom again since it's been a while since she was in a drama.

Overall:
I liked this series because it was different. I would always look forward to Wednesday's and Thursday's. I'm sad now that it is over. I will say, if you want something different, you should most definitely check this drama out. The best part is that there's no push and pull romance or a love-hate. The romance was straight forward and written pretty well if I'm being honest. There also wasn't any huge plot twist and predictable, but I would say that's the charm of it. I give this series 7.5/10 or 8/10.

I finally finished the series and here is my honest review of it.

Story:
I think almost everyone can agree that this drama began with potential, but it started going downhill.

The plot started where Lookpat was running a small resort and she uses a made-up legend if you see a frog with your significant other, you are destined to be together (I honestly don't remember the whole accuracy of the legend). Kin visits the village in order to make a luxury resort because he actually has a mortgage on the land. There is an incident where Kin forgets his memories and Lookpat and her family use this as an opportunity to stop him from building the resort. Lookpat and Kin fall in love, but Kin, later on, regains his memories but claims he doesn't remember what happened in the village (which was a total lie). He treats Lookpat as a servant afterwards.

The main plot was honestly a mess. I would've given the story a lower rating, but I liked the first few episodes before Kin was all mean. The last 2-4 episodes were so rushed. Those last-minute solutions (I guess ), just felt so weird.

I also really just enjoyed watching Lookhin and Hansa, they honestly carried the series for me and I would pretty much only look forward to their parts. Hansa seemed very entitled, but she is actually very caring and had character development. Lookhin also just funny and cute going along with Hansa's antics. They were the reason why I kept with the series (besides the OST, but I will get into that).

Acting:
Acting on the other hand was good. I think anyone can say that you didn't like Kin at all and I think that was the point in a way. Son was so convincing as Kin I just wanted to scream at him. Vill also did well with the whole head of the house thing. Her character did act pretty dumb at times that it felt unnatural, but I blame that on the story rather than her acting.

Ciize was amazing like always. Her performance never disappoints. She always fits whatever character really well and almost perfectly. Pond as well did an amazing. Whenever I watch the stuff he's in, there's a charm and goofiness to his characters. I can't see anyone else playing Lookhin other than him.

The rest of the cast was good/alright, but I think because of their characters, they didn't stand out too much for me.

Music:
Honestly, my favorite part (other then Lookhin and Hansa's part) was the OST. I literally let the intro play because it's so good and so fun to listen to. I enjoyed it so much that I even added it to my Thai music playlist. This is the link to the official MV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDR4CyPWQec. There are maybe 1 or 2 more OSTs, but this is the one I listen to all the time.

Overall:
Did I hate it? No. But did I really like it? No. I think this is one of those dramas that I only like certain parts of the series. The series could make more sense if they didn't rush everything in the last few episodes and if they didn't drag on the whole bullying plotline. I really just lost count on the number of plots that were dragged on. I am surprised that I kept up with this series every week without pushing it onto the side. Do I recommend it? Not really. Is it watchable? Yes, just don't blame me if you don't like it one bit even if I said it's watchable. I honestly don't know what to rate it overall, but probably a 7.5 (mainly bc of Lookhin/Hansa and the OST).

There's a lot of unanswered questions and plot holes

I am pretty sure I liked this drama more then a lot of other people. I love sci-fi dramas and so this sucked me in the moment I started watching it. But it's more towards the ending and the last episode that turns people off, but I will get into that.

The premise of the drama is more or less an apocalypse type of plot. Trying to survive these mutant things and whatever the smoke is. Like I said, the plot is really good and for the most part it is well written, but then there were a lot of plot holes. The main questions (that I had) that weren't answered were how did the smoke/mutant thing appear, out of all the people it wasn't clear why Dong Rim was chosen, why was there a specific scene that the turned/mutated Jin Seok was still looking for Dong Rim, and how the mutants all died like that. These unanswered questions could be a turn off for a lot of people. The ending even more so. It was weird how everything went back to normal. It pretty much felt rushed. But I personally liked the ending, it could've been a lot worse and not even have a good ending.

I think what made me like the drama a lot more was the casting. As much as I loved the plot, the casting was even better. I always looked forward to seeing each of the actresses and actors even if their characters were not so good or even evil. And it was nice to see a lot of old and new faces.

If you don't like dramas that don't explain everything and are not into sci-fi than I don't really recommend this drama. But if you don't mind plot holes and love this type of genre you should try give it a chance. This is a personal opinion and I since I pretty much enjoyed it I give it a 8.5/10.

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.

Personally I absolutely loved this movie. The first movie was already really good in my opinion, but I feel like the second movie was even better. (This is all opinion and even biased based review).

Story:
The movie basically follows after the first one, but now there are new characters.

There is still the ordained and disrobe curse. They try to figure out how to get rid of it for good. Balloon and First come back and get ordained again after running away the first time. There is also a new character Min-jun or Tho that comes in and has to get ordained because his mom made a promise at that temple. Throughout this movie, it is revealed why Balloon and First are actually cursed.

This time the movie was about friendships, everyone is actually working together which I liked about the movie. I think this time the plot is more centered around sticking by your friends even if the situation is bad. Tho could've just left, but he stayed and got ordained.

Even though it is labelled as a horror, it isn't really a horror movie at all. In my opinion this movie was TOO funny to be a scary/horror movie. I literally lost count of how many times I had to pause the movie because it was so funny. If you don't like horror movies, but still want to watch something "scary" (which this really wasn't scary) and A LOT of comedic relief I REALLY recommend this movie. I just enjoyed it so much.

Even though the plot was very straightforward, it's so good and entertaining.

Acting/Cast:
I absolutely love the casting of this movie. The chemistry between everyone was just so organic and hilarious.

I've seen more than half the cast before. I've also seen most of them in the previous movie so I knew I would love this movie. I love August, Pond, Puwado, and the rest in the first movie. Maybe it's just me, but the chemistry between everyone was just amazing and apparent in this movie.

When I heard and initially watched the trailer for this movie, I was not expecting to see Mean. I was already looking forward to seeing this movie, but when I saw him I wanted to know how himself and his character contributed to the story. And it was beyond my expectations. Honestly, I feel like characters that are more on the comedic side fit him best.

Again, I just wanted to restate that the cast was just amazing.

Overall:
I just think this movie was really amazing. On a side note, I didn't think the OST was gonna be that good. The song really just fit the tone of the movie (this is the link for the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4QxV5HuwVg ). I might be really biased because I love watching these types of movies, but either way I think it was a really good movie to watch. Like I always say though, everyone's taste is different, so you might like it more or less than I did. Overall, I give this movie a 9/10.

There will be a little bit of spoilers, but not a whole lot so you can read this with your discretion. This movie is a slice of life and is pretty slow. It also isn't a romance, so I know this movie isn't gonna be for everyone.

Story:
The movie centers around a girl named Kotera and her passion of rock climbing. Some of her classmates admire her passion of climbing and look for things that they want to do and are passionate about. One of her classmates named Kondo watches her from afar and admires her. Kondo is part of the tennis club and watches Kotera whenever there's practice. He doesn't know what he wants to do and that's one of the things he admires about Kotera.

The plot is quite uneventful. It's a slice of life, so I wasn't expecting much things to happen. I personally think there was a few plot holes that left me confused. The movie also didn't really establish if Kondo likes Kotera or admires her because she is passionate about everything. There's also the other people that were introduced in the movie that I don't really understand their importance. Not that I didn't like their characters, I just didn't know why they played a role.

Again, I don't really think this movie is for everyone and one might even say it's boring. For what it is, I think it's watchable and I didn't think it was that bad. I never read the manga either, so I have no idea what could be missing.

Overall:
This movie isn't bad, but it's not the greatest. Again, this movie isn't really for most people. It's a slice of life so there's nothing much going on and it's slow. I didn't know if I should've given the movie a 6.5/10 or a 7.0/10. I ended up giving it a 7.0/10 overall.

I think this movie is good and honestly it made me a bit emotional (I'm just an emotional person though).

Story:
The story is as it says, June and Bom meet one day after a Start Up competition they had dinner with each other and they find that they have so many things in common. Being that they are both deal with apps, they both come up with the same idea of making an app where you can meet people with the same interests. But that also meant they were competing against each other.

Honestly, the plot isn't that crazy. I personally think they should've done more with the romance plot. Sometimes I think even though the chemistry is there, there wasn't enough of that. The story was more on how the apps were similar rather than the relationship between the two. The best way I can describe the plot is that it's predictable, but not in a bad way. I didn't know how this movie was go since I don't normally watch these types of movies, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. It's just not my type of movie.

Acting:
The acting was pretty good. I love the chemistry between the cast. I could literally feel the chemistry between June and Bom because JingJing and Nat conveyed it very well. Sometimes to the point where I wish it was a romance rather than a app development story.

Overall:
Did I like the movie? Yes, the movie was made very well and I enjoyed it. Is it my taste? Not really, since it was labelled as a romance as well I was expecting more romance stuff, but it was nice for a change. Would I watch it again? Honestly, I would. The movie is quite long for my liking, but it isn't that bad and I liked the plot so I would most definitely rewatch the movie. I give this movie overall 8/10.

Note: There are spoilers, but they're not real spoilers.

Story:
The drama is about a woman named Daya and a man named Taywat. They met on a plane ride back from abroad and sat right next to each other. They meet again because Daya moved into a small house and Taywat went to visit her. They start falling in love and pretty early on too. They both see a ghost who helps them out and protects them.

The main plot is Daya came home from abroad because her dad suddenly died. Daya stepmom is trying to steal all of the inheritance and Taywat comes in and helps Daya out. Turns out there's a lot more going on behind the scenes and Taywat's dad is somehow involved.

The story doesn't stray that much in my opinion, the only side story was the ghost girl, but I liked her scenes. Another thing that is really good is that the series doesn't have that love-hate with the main leads. And even if there were misunderstandings because of other people, they quickly solved that within 2-3 episodes. The rest of the series was trying to find out who killed Daya's father and mother and Taywat finding who his real family is. I liked the storyline, but I can see where people might not like it. I think the storyline can be a bit dry or non-dramatic for people's liking.

Cast:
I think the cast had cute chemistry. I will say, the actresses that played Daya's step-family were very good at acting very dumb. I swear, Daya's step-cousin I think had something wrong with her because she wanted to kill Daya to feel inferior. And the step-mom was just greedy in general, so I didn't like her. I'm straying from the actual cast, but again, they did well enough where I was irritated at their characters.

Overall:
Like I always say in most of my reviews, I probably like this drama more than the next person. The drama itself isn't the most exciting or dramatic like how lakorns normally are, but it was written sensibly. If you are thinking about watching it, I'd say go for it, it is really good. Plus, I don't think there was any plot hole or confusion so I enjoyed it. Overall, I give it an 8/10.

I wasn't going to do a review on this movie, but I felt the need to since there was no review on this movie.

Story:
First of all, this movie was too long. It was so long that I didn't really understand the movie or the message it was trying to give. I don't even know if it was trying to be a romance or a life type of drama.

I didn't really understand the plot, but this is what I got. The movie is about a girl who works on Thaniya Street. This street is basically filled with call girls and stuff. They get men from all over the world, but from my guess, they are mostly Japanese men. Later on this guy comes in and I think they start traveling around Thailand (I think). At the very end they leave each other and it seems like they went their own ways. Again, that's my own understanding of the plot.

I think this movie had so much potential, but the plot was so confusing. It could've been so much shorter than it actually was. Like it was 3 hours. If you are wondering why I even watched this movie, it was because it was there. I also was like 10 minutes in and didn't realize until then that it was 3 hours long. I feel like they could've cut down the movie and focus on certain parts. It was even more confusing when there were characters that spoke English and it was a little bit about them.

If you want to watch it for the plot, I'm warning you.

Cast:
The best part of the movie was the cast and that's saying a lot. The only reason for that is because the actors and actresses could actually speak multiple languages so when they switch from Japanese to Thai or to English it was bearable.

Overall:
I don't recommend this movie at all. But I guess if you want a movie about life this movie exists. I'm warning you though, the movie is 3 hours. Personally, I give this movie 4.5/10.

I just wanted to say, this movie was pretty okay for what it was. There wasn't really anything too exciting about this movie.

Story:
The original summary didn't make that much sense to me initially, so here is my summary on the movie. The movie in simpler terms is about Got and he is a professional race car driver. One day he got into an accident with his dad (Prem) and went back in time before him and his mother got married. They initially go through problems and such, but later on they become friends. Bew was the mother and she really is the one that helps Got and Prem whenever they get into fights. At the end of the movie, it is expected, but both Got and Prem survived the accident and Bew was also there.

In all it was a nice family movie. Not anything new, but it was cute. The whole going back in time plot was the most interesting part, but they didn't really cover that plot that much, rather it was on the father son relationship, which I liked. I guess the message I got from that is that even if you fight or disagree with your parents, they are still important to you (that's the message I got).

Acting:
The movie had some really good actors. Even if the actors are about the same age, you can kind of see the father son dynamic and friend between them. Usually, going back in time concepts can go different directions and can't be pulled off well because of the actors. But their acting was the best part of the movie in my opinion. Pope and Ter usually never disappoint in whatever they act in.

Puwadon and Sammy also did very well. Honestly, I've seen a few movies Puwadon was in and this probably the best movie that actually is cohesive and good. Plus his character was just the right amount of funny and supportive which I liked. Sammy on the other hand, this is the first time I've seen her act and she was pretty good. She never overpowered the main characters and instead contributed to the main plot. That's normally difficult because people would rather see the romance, but she help contribute to the father son/ family plot.

Overall:
I watched this movie on the whim and I liked it. It didn't disappoint me at all. I also think it didn't disappoint me because I went into this movie not knowing what to expect. I would definitely rewatch the movie if I had time (especially with my family). I give it a 7.5/10.

Before I start, I just needed to say this is pretty much a personal opinion. There is also a bit of bias on my end, so it is your choice if you want to watch the movie. I will mainly talk about the story and acting.

Story:
The story is basically about a single mother (who is a teacher) and initially is disappointed that her model son is participating in a E-Sports tournament. She creates her own E-Sports team in attempt to stop her son from choosing the gaming career path.

The plot initially confused me because I didn't understand where the story was going. Only halfway through I actually realized what was going on. Initially I thought Third's character was related to the teacher somehow (I'm not too sure what lead me to thinking that), but I realized they weren't related and he was just a student at the school she worked at. Personally, the plot picked up in the later half of the film, but I think what the plot was missing later on was Third's grades and stuff. I did still like the plot despite it being confusing, but maybe that is just me.

I also wish there was more depth with each character. There was so much potential in the mother-son dynamic. I wish they could've made that part more interesting. Or Third's character, I wish they went more in depth with him and school. The ending seemed like they were missing a few thing. They didn't really solve the mother-son situation and the ending felt sudden. They didn't even have a proper talk at the end which would've been nice to see.

I can see it not being for everyone. I didn't really understand the gaming part (since I don't game) and I saw it more like a lighthearted family movie. So if you like family movies, this one is a nice watch.

Acting:
This is where my bias true bias comes in. I personally love Third, I have seen him act in some of my favorite dramas that's why my opinion on his is biased from the start. I thought he was very adorable and pulled off his character pretty well. It was nice to see him act as the main character for a change. Normally he plays a subsidiary main character (if that makes sense). His character was very likable and I loved it.

This is the first time I've seen Aom act and I thought she was very pretty. Personally I liked her character. A mother who went from being strict to letting her son pursue his career. The writers did her character a bit dirty because again, I wish there were more mother and son moments throughout the movie. It would've also been nice if she also acted as a teacher. For a second, I forgot she was the "strict" mother that didn't like that her son wanted to pursue video games.

As for the actors that played the side characters, they were pretty good. I've seen Wee act in a drama before so it was nice to see her in a movie and see the improvement. The other side actors aren't listed here, but they did very well. The dynamic was funny, cute, and I would even say a bit wholesome.

Overall:
I enjoyed this movie. Again, I might be biased, but it was nice to watch for a change. Most Thai movies are romance based and stuff and don't really center around family, but this one did. This type of movie is up my ally plot wise, so I probably liked this way more than others and would definitely rewatch the movie if I had the time. I give it a 8/10.

Out of all the dramas I've seen, this one just became one of my favorites. The series is about a bunch of kids in an orphanage trying to be adopted and the struggles of not having a parental figure. I went into this drama not knowing what to expect. I didn't know if it was going to be really sad or dramatic. But like the genre says, it is basically a family based drama. Think of it like The Fosters, but on young children. This series isn't as overly dramatic than The Fosters, everything about this series was written well.

The cast is just so amazing. From the adults to the children. It's hard to believe that most of these kids are under the age of 10 and such amazing actors and actresses. I knew Maki since she's been in quite a few dramas, and I've obviously have seen David, Awat, and Ploy (I love Ploy and wish she was the main character in dramas) before and they did really good. I really just fell in love with their stories. How they got adopted and such.

If you do want to watch it, I could only find the series on Netflix. If you don't live in Thailand, you need to use a VPN, that's how I was able to watch the series. And I would most definitely watch this series again.
