Thong Ake Mor Yah Tah Chaloang (2019)

Entertaining and original - for Mario fans

I watched it above all for the ML (Mario, whom I adore and who even manages to look cute with a ridiculous hairstyle :).

It's a comedy (you have to accept the overplayed side +++ of these lakorns) historical (1850-1910) which takes place in a village / a small town.
The plot: the relationships, then the complicated romance between 1 rich and cheeky FL and 1 ML Herbal Master.

Bonuses:
- The context is interesting and original. It allows you to discover another aspect of Thailand (rural, epidemics, customs, superstitions, etc.)
- the actors are good. We get attached to their characters (not heroes, sometimes easily scarred or even cowards).
- the story is relatively coherent.
- I had doubts about the CL Mario/Kim, but it works pretty well.

Things I have doubts about:
- the overplayed side is often boring.
- are Thai children all so submissive to their parents even when they are adults and married, OR is the FL completely lacking in personality?
- Many lengths in the realization
- annoying OSTs (I admit that this is one of the aspects that bother me in lakorns).

In conclusion: a series that I still enjoyed and that I recommend to lakorn lovers (and to all Mario fans :) :)

Je l'ai regardé avant tout pour le ML (Mario, que j'adore et qui arrive même à être mignon avec une coiffure ridicule :).
C'est une comédie (il faut accepter le côté surjoué +++ de ces lakorns) historique (1850-1910) qui se déroule dans un village / une petite ville.
Le plot : les relations, puis la romance compliquée entre 1 FL riche et effrontée et 1 ML Herbal Master.

Les bonus :
- Le contexte est intéressant et original. Il permet de découvrir un autre aspect de la Thaïlande (rurale, épidémies, coutumes, superstition, etc.)
- les acteurs sont bons. On s'attache à leur personnage (pas des héros, parfois lâches voire trouillards).
- l'histoire est relativement cohérente.
- J'avais des doutes sur le CL Mario / Kim, mais il fonctionne plutôt bien.

Les choses sur lesquelles j'ai des doutes :
- le côté surjoué est souvent lassant.
- les enfants thaï sont-ils tous si soumis à leurs parents même quand ils sont adultes et mariés, ou bien la FL manque totalement de personnalité ?
- Beaucoup de longueurs dans la réalisation
- les OST perturbantes (j'avoue que c'est un des aspects qui me dérangent dans les lakorns).

En conclusion : une série que j'ai malgré tout apprécié et que je conseille aux amateurs de lakorn (et à tous les fans de Mario :) :)

At first I never expect Mario and Kimmy will have great chemistry as a couple.
I mean, I know they both can act and I love seeing Mario-Davika pair, Kimmy with Mark or James Ma... But after I watch this, I can say that Mario-Kimmy chemistry are amazing..
NongBest who plays Chaba lil sis is so cute and funny.. I love her!

What I like about this drama :
1. It's not just a romance comedy, but we'll get to know about Thai herbs and medication (I learn along with Chaba ;p)
2. The storyline move fast, not like most of dramas, they don't drag the story until we're frustrated (too fast until I don't realize it almost ended).
3. Not Slap and Kiss kinda larkon
4. Great chemistry of the main couple
5. I laugh, I cry, and I smile throughout the drama..
6. Thong Ake character is funny but smart and kind hearted at the same time, Mario plays it very well.
7. Kimmy is out of her the regular brat and spoil character's type, she plays Chaba really well.
8. No crazy ex girlfriend/admirer..

What I don't like...
Well I can say I like most of the storyline.. I don't skip any of the episodes.
Although I think the insertion of Nichkun & Maggie on this drama is not necessary, but it doesn't annoy me (they were there together with Mario and Pat Napapa promoting Dr. J*ll skincare I think).

I just need more sweetness scene on Mario and Kimmy :p

I wish they both can be pair in modern drama (maybe a romantic action comedy will do)

Overall, for you who like romantic comedy you should try to watch this lakorn. Believe me it's worth your time!
