Kaew Klang Dong (2019)

Sweet romance dans la jungle de Thaïlande (super pour les habitués des lakorns)

Le format est inhabituel : 14 épisodes de 1h50 !!!!

Je ne conseillerais pas cette série aux novices en lakorns car il faut être aguerri pour supporter les personnages parfois caricaturaux (très surjoués pour accentuer l'aspect comique), la musique (assez particulière pour des oreilles occidentales) et des moments hyper mélodramatiques (too much).

Ceci dit, ce lakorn est très bien fait, bien joué, l'histoire est relativement crédible et on peut découvrir de magnifiques paysages de jungle et la Thaïlande rurale.

Le plot est assez sympa : rencontre, aventures, relation, puis love entre un jeune architecte beau, riche, intelligent, etc. et une fille "sauvage" de la jungle. Aventures nombreuses et mouvementées car ils vont devoir affronter des braconniers, des "meilleures amies amoureuses et jalouses", un gang de trafiquants de drogue, etc.
J'aime beaucoup ce CL (le ML est handsome et pour une fois, la FL n'est pas douce et innocente... bien que par moments, on peut se demander ce qu'elle fait de son cerveau :). J'aimerai bien revoir ce couple dans d'autres dramas.

Le CL2 est bien développé, mais leur comportement n'est pas toujours très cohérent. OK, ils affrontent des situations familiales, amicales, amoureuses, complexes, mais leurs changements de comportement et prises de conscience sont amenés trop brutalement.
Le CL3 (Fahlan et sa petite amie) prend une grande place à l'écran et c'est rare de voir développer une relation où le ML est laid (même si son personnage est attachant).

Les parents (hormis les evil characteres) sont bons, sages et compréhensifs, ce qui est assez rare.

Certaines OST sont bien, mais la musique style "comptine" qui revient fréquemment, est agaçante.

Conclusion : vous apprécierez ce drama si vous avez un peu l'habitude des lakorns. Il vous permettra de découvrir de belles images, de magnifiques paysages, la culture et les coutumes rurales, et tout cela est agrémenté par une romance très mignonne. A vos écrans :) :)

This show is amazing. Shout out to Neko for those subs. An easy 1-2 day watch for sure.

A little confusing and slow at first but It's absolutely amazing in every way, shape and form and I'm not even over exaggerating that. I mean to each their own but let me tell you, the story starts off a little much because you're like "what's going on?" it's also a remake of many other remakes so you don't even know if it's going to be the same as all the other stories, but trust me, you will not be let down. I went from being like "eh" to laughing, crying and just going with the flow of this show. It really just made me feel some type of way.

The story is exactly what it is and more; it's not your average country girl and city guy fall in love, not at all. You've got your death, you've got your drug trafficking, a little bit of sex trafficking and I wouldn't say love triangle but it gets a little complicated between the characters. The main characters do end up falling in love but the story is not even based off of romance; so don't expect much in that area but the chemistry that Oom and Mai have together is amazing. You're gonna fall in love with the families from both the main characters and how understanding everyone is; even though the girl friend is a little frustrating; you're gonna love the bond between the friends as well. Even with all the plot twist and turns, you'll want to keep watching because there's so much going on but it's so greatly developed you really don't feel like you're missing out on anything.

The acting was wonderful, like huge ups to every single person. The side characters even just straight up felt like main characters and I've personally never seen anyone of these actors or actresses in shows but they played every single so right. With the main guy playing such a sweet guy, I'm definitely a sucker for shows where the guy is just nice through and through and doesn't lead anyone else on. He knows how to keep his distance and when to push as well. Female lead? AMAZING. Her acting was so funny and she played so well at being extra from going from the jungle to the city to learning how to just act right. The best friend? Wonderful man, he was really just the underdog and the girl best friend? For someone that was playing someone kind of evil, she wasn't bad at all. Everyone else? They did that.

The music? Dope. If you have apple music, you should download it; peep it though because it's so catchy.

Rewatch value? 100/100. After I finish it, I feel like I should watch it all over again just to get that feeling. It's been a long time where I've just been hooked on a show and don't want it to end or stop but I also don't feel like I need to force myself because I'm sitting on edge. It was just good for a day off and then some. I even felt myself getting sad because I was like "what am I gonna do when this is over?" I still don't know what I'm going to do tbh. lol.

Overall? It was worth everything and anything if you love a good lakorn; which is rare because I've yet to watch such a mind blowing thai lakorn that really makes me go "omg" well, I have but just not one with this story line. It's the perfect amount of good acting, comedy, action and chemistry.
