Paragit Ruk Series: Ratchanawee Tee Ruk (2017)

First of all, I should start by saying that this was actually the first in the Paragit Ruk series that I decided to watch, although it is the third, so I did not have any particular expectations. I had decided to watch this because it was the one that piqued my interest first.

Story Line
The story line was perhaps a bit confusing, because it didn't immediately match up with the synopsis given, rather took some time to develop. Praew is an author and she goes to the island in hopes of getting inspiration for her new book. However, with her being an author, much was not expanded on. Only in the first episode, you really see her working on her book, as said but afterwards, it wasn't mentioned frequently. Rather than her job being the cause for her there, she actually had another reason.. which will be revealed once you started watching the lakorn.
Captian Jirawat, also known as Tonkla, performs his duty as a navy officer there. Tonkla is very charming and he instantly recognizes Praew, as they have some history together. As captain of the Whale Shark Team, Tonkla has a lot of responsiblties and yet he still tries to make time to pursue Praew. The main antagonists here are Sia Tup and Sergeant Yot. I really enjoyed all of the action and conflict between Tonkla and Sia. Apart from the main couple and the antagonists, we had Praew's friends which all had a side story going on, but nothing that dominated the focus away from Praew and Tonkla.

Acting/Cast
This is not the first time Aom (Tonkla) and Sammy (Praew) paired up to do a lakorn so they were pretty in tune with eachother. I thought they look absolutely splendid together and the characters were well portrayed.
Not only were the main characters well done, but the others were too! The acting wasn't outstanding but it wasn't bad at all. I would say it was commendable.

Music
Apart from the OST in the opening scene (that plays not only for this lakorn, but the other three too.) there wasn't an OST that I particularly remembered, or if there was at all. It definitely wasn't impactful and didn't leave any impression on any scenes.

Rewatch Value
I gave this an 8 because someday, when im actually out of lakorns to watch (prob never), I would consider it. However, I am in no sort of hurry to rewatch this as I have the other 3 lakorns in this series to watch first.

Final Thoughts
Overall, I would say that this lakorn is light and you really don't have to put a lot of thought into watching it because there is no major angst or drama that really makes you all worried or what not. I do remember fangirling when there was an apperance of the other 3 MLs from the series, so when the four of them teamed up, I died. I have a thing for men in uniform so I was really interested in seeing the four of them work together and it was definitely something I'll remember from this particular drama! especially when Karan, Khanin and Pur all started to tease Tonkla about Praew, when she was right there. The charming ML definitely make my heart flutter at times, but then again. which handsome ML doesn't?

In conclusion, if you are considering and really thinking about watching this lakorn, I would say go for it. Don't think too much about it but rather just watch and enjoy.
