Dung Duang Haruetai (1996)

after a few episode ML is head over heels in love with FL, and always professes how he feels, same older era nostalgic kind of feeling.

Similarities between the two dramas (includes mild spoilers):

- A bad boy king falls in love with an idealistic, kind woman from an enemy nation. He takes her hostage for drama reasons and spends episodes pining over her. Meanwhile the FL has an internal battle that consists of, "I must not betray my country by falling for this hot evil enemy king who would die for me!"

- There's a secondary romance in which the king's shy guard falls for the FL's more outgoing subordinate/confidante.

- Secondary plot about the two respective countries potentially going to war with each other.

Differences (includes mild spoilers):

- The FL in DDH is mature and wise, while the FL in LBFAD is more childish and naive.

- Both have historical settings; however, LBFAD has magic and is set in a fantasy realm, while DDH has no magic and is set in the real world (in fictional countries).

- The side characters and plots were stronger in LBFAD, in my opinion.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

The original version from 1995 is delicately designed and has the best casts. It has been praised by Thai fans even after almost two decades.
