Ok Keub Hak Ab Ruk Khun Samee (2020)

Amazing.......simply amazing

Just finished watching My Husband in Law, I was waiting for a clean copy of the show and I am going to tell you it was worth the wait?. Mark and Mew did an incredible job, the storyline had you on a rollercoaster of emotions and their chemistry was mindddddd blowinnnng hands down excellent actors chosen to play Thien and Muey. Not only the main leads, but the side leads as well , the bromance, the comaderie, the family support everything worked out just great. Just one thing , I realized the ending was very similar to Sawang Biang with Anne and Ken, the plot was almost a mirror of each other with a little tweeks. Thanks to the production team , the director , producers every one behind the scenes, the script was amazing and I enjoyed the show very much . Congratulations to Mark and Mew great job.

BEST 2020 THAI LAKORN! <3

I just finished my first ever lakorn and I am not disappointed at all!
I just saw its’ trailer on GMA (tv network here in PH because it will be aired here) and I felt like I wanted to try something new because I have been a long time fan of korean dramas.
I’ve also been seeing Mark Prin in my timeline because I’m also supporting So Wayree. I gave this drama a try not knowing I’ll be hooked in finishing it right away.

Mark Prin is a good actor. He’s very talented. Even his role in this drama has a good character development.

Mew Nittha is an amazing actress. I find her so good in both the emotional and funny scenes. She’s so natural and she has a thai beauty. No matter how simple her looks are in this drama, she’s beautiful in every angle.

I laughed so many times in this drama but my favorite part is their Myanmar scenes. It didn’t only show their true feelings for each other, it showed MYANMAR’s beauty and culture as well.

No wonder this drama receive a lot of recognitions!

Bad script and story

The pacing of this show is really bad. Whole episodes go by without anything really happening.
And when something does happen, often they're just going through the same problems over and over.
There are also 2 or 3 places in which the story and the behavior of the characters stopped making any sense. To the point near the end where a "surprise" felt so out of place that it felt insulting to the audience.
The neverending songs and flashbacks were mostly unnecessary.
Besides that, the acting of the main actors was good, as it usually is.
The quality of the sound recording and editing was often lacking, as it usually is.

Editing is terrible but show is still good once you understand these few things

As someone who has never read the novel, watching this show was very confusing at times due to the terrible editing and cutting of some scenes & flashbacks. Truly, I've never seen a lakorn do this badly with editing. It's not bad all the time, but at critical moments like flashbacks, it was chopped up so much and put together so sloppily that I didn't know a lot of important information until I came to MDL to read people's comments. If the show had done better with this, it would've been a more enjoyable experience.

With some tolerance and patience, I kept watching this show because I adored Mew and Mark's acting and chemistry. There were some events that happened early in the series that made me almost drop the show (due to how confusing it was and how sudden it was in showing Muey's character in a different light), but I trudged through and the payoff by the end was pretty good. What helped me accept that mini-arc and Muey's personality was that Thien truly didn't know her and we the audience was also learning who she really was like he was.

I'm glad Muey didn't let him off so easily in the latter half of the series. Also, I'm glad that our antagonist girl didn't get a terrible ending because she deserved so much better.

I didn't expect a mainstream lakorn show like this to have boys' love/girls' love, which was pretty cool. I'm glad that it was taken seriously and not brushed aside as some joke.

You won't regret

I created account in here to write about this drama....
This is amazing
First 2 episodes might bore you but that's what is base of the story
The actors are amazing
Until 12 episodes it is a comedy and romance
But last three episodes get heated up

You'll enjoy it.. entirely...trust me..I am very picky about dramas but I loved this enormously

Both leads are amazing...FL is initially naive and cute and finally she is sophisticated and matured. FL is dashing and very hot...he did the job amazingly...
It's has happy ending and you'll be satisfied.

Great Chemistry and story line

Should you? Would you? Could you?

You should watch this one (YES! )
You would recommend this to others. (YES!)
You could watch this again. (In Parts!)
Ending: Happy

I liked it a lot. It’s got the right emotional roller coaster that we want from a serial. The hate, the love, the mystery, the stress are all balanced well. The chemistry between the lead is amazing. They are 2 very fine actors. The only negative for me was the abrupt ending of many scenes. The editing could have been better. There are some episodes that start without any connect to the ending of the last one and that baffled me. The female lead’s character also showed shades of ridiculous at times which is in contrast to her “hidden talent” ( don’t want to reveal any spoilers). But all in all a good drama to watch. I loved the way she disguises her intelligence under the guise of foolishness but reveals it during the need of the hour. What a beautiful refreshing end to the negative female lead character. Her transformation of self-realization is so beautifully portrayed.
The only negative for me is the last 3 episodes which take a sudden dramatic turn which could have been avoided. But all in all, it’s a very enjoyable series.

Not to my taste

Watched this since there's a lot of good reviews and of course for Mark. The story doesn't seem that bad at first but later on the plot is a bit weird but it's typical for lakorn. Love the chemistry of Mark and Mew. They seem very natural and that's the only good thing about this lakorn.

ML is very harsh toward his wife and most of the time he is a bit of a trash. FL is a bratty person probably because of how her mother in law always spoilt her. She always did as she pleased and ML would end up cleaning her mess. The most annoying part is that Mrs. Sajee never trust her son. I understand that her son is a trash but she prefers to pamper her daughter in law more and always blame ML over everything without even bother to investigate. The fact that she always meddle in their wedding life is also weird since no matter how you love your son (daughter in law for her case), you should never meddle in your child's marriage problem.

In the first few episodes, I pitied FL since she kept on chasing after her husband who is always harsh and directly show his disinterest toward her. It's became too much until it seemed like she disregard her dignity especially when she kept on telling everyone how she wants to sleep with him and kept on throwing herself on him. Her character also became too unbearable. Was hoping she could be slightly matured by the end of the lakorn and she still acted like a child when she was pregnant. I guess she became better once they had a twin? ML is also an @ss especially when he made her drunk so that he could sleep with her and stop her from filling a divorce. At first he is a typical annoying ML but toward the end he became slightly better since he finally acknowledged his love toward FL. It's funny how FL and Mrs. Sajee kept on pushing ML to accept the wedding but they wanted ML to stay away from FL when the ML finally want FL.

The funnies part in this lakorn is that ML's family look more like a mafia than the mafia guy. They also easily subdue the mafia LOL. Suddenly FL and her sister in law became hackers? LOL There's also BL and GL ship but only the GL has happy ending. Although Yada was supposed to be the villain, she showed the best character development and she deserve some acknowledgement. Some part toward the end of this lakorn remind me of Sawan Biang especially the running away to a village when FL knew about her pregnancy and ML will chase after her and do his best to win her back. Very typical lakorn setting and turned out Anne from Sawang Biang is the producer of this lakorn.

All in all, do watch if you like the typical lakorn with this kind of setting but I don't think this lakorn has a high rewatch value...well at least for me

Addicting and so interesting!!

After watching so many cdrama and kdrama, I tried my first thai drama and that worth it. Even the first chapter is so interesting. Whoever loves romantic comedy will love it. It took me somedays to get over them.

In the beginning I thought Muey is an idiot who loves Thein one sided for all these years and bears everything then i find out that she is actually very smart and multi talented that makes me very into this series. In the beginning Thein treated Muey for granted but towards the end he repented and loves her thousand times more. I dont want to share more of the story and be a spoiler.

Their chemistry is really something. It is all epic from he dont like her to fall in love with her wholeheartedly. In those last chapters i longed for more episodes mainly because of their chemistry. Their chemistry is out of the world. I though shipped them unknowingly that they already have respective partners, that much chemistry they held in this series.

Their acting! I cant believe that they were acting. Thein played by Mark Prin, his acting is outstanding. I watched 'My forever sunshine' played by him and astonished by the chemistry.

I didn't like their flashbacks that comes sometimes. Even though there are two morr side love stories, most of times i skipped them.

Overall it is an awesome series, because of only this i watched another one too, that of course Mark Prin's . I love to watch thr interviews too.

So why are you waiting? Just go and watch.

This review may contain spoilers. This lakorn is beautiful

Guys, this lakorn is superb! I liked it from the start. I didn't skip anything. Mark Prin was great. I don't think there will be better chemistry for him with anyone else. I loved Mew. Moei is so different from the other female leads. She is strong, smart and so cute. The first few episodes were really fun. Thien was annoying, I would have slapped him. But, when the scenario changes the story becomes more intense and everything slowly comes out. When she is running away for the first time and he reaches her and before opening the car door( OMG! he was so charming and handsome, man! XD) he says: "I'll make you come back to where you were. I'll make you stay using reinforced concrete ... so that you wan ' t leave me again. Not in this life. Not in the next life " he totally captured me and I wish she had listened to those words too.. And the trip to the Temple? and the vows? those scenes made me dream. When Moei really went away later I got mad! I mean, now that he had clarified his feelings ...
Some episode later, when things were finally looking good, everything happened, in a negative way. Was all that pain necessary? I wonder. It was nice to find out that Moei was Thien's first love (he had kept an eye on her first, even though he didn't know it was her XD. I wonder why at that time he didn't check the number of freshman of his Mentee, it would have been easier). In the end, Thien makes a heartfelt gesture and saves Moei's life and this is an act of love that will unite them forever. This Lakorn gave me so much love, but also suffering and pain (in a good way). I will definitely watch it again. 10/10

Stiff female lead. Script isn't good.

In the story, the female lead pursues the male lead. One of her chasing trick is sending her own composition of flirting poems to him as a secret admirer. Those poems were embarrassing both for the awkward meaning and unsmooth rhyme. The writer tries hard to forcefully put the right sound into the rhyme position of the poem but fails to select the right word for the meaning. As the result, those poems carry weird meanings with forceful sounds. If you know the rhyming rules of Thai poetry, you'd know the poems in this story are lame and a shame.

I don't like this drama after finish watching it, so I'm not really interested in talking/writing about it in detail, but I kind of feel obligated to give proper reasons on some negative points since I mentioned those points as a comparison on another drama's review (also Thai drama). So in conclusion about the poems, they are cringey and badly composed - broken on both the meanings and aesthetic. In the story, the female lead is supposed to be a genius, these poems exist just to downgrade that claim.

Apart from the poems, the dialogue is super cringey. No one would talk like the female lead in real life and get the male lead as the result. In reality, this kind of dialogue would make the speaker embarrassed and make those who hear it secondhand embarrassed as well.

I can see the actress playing the female lead really tries her best in acting. She says all those lame dialogues with all her heart. She acts with courage and hopes to make the best out of it. But nonetheless, her acting is still amateur and too stiff. If you understand Thai, you would know the way she talks is very unnatural. It's reciting. She put too much effort in every word so the words she says have come out intentional, robotic and stiffen her own overall acting.

Story - The story is based on a novel, which reads a bit like a wattpad novel (if you've ever read a wattpad novel you know what I'm getting at) . The director, screenwriter and Anne Thongprasom did a good job fleshing out the story and bringing a bit of realism into it while adding a bit of Thai drama hijinks.

The drama starts out a bit slow and had me disliking the ML (keep on watching he matures). As the show progressed, the ML/FL got more interesting as they mature. In fact, the ML/FL were the only reason I continued to watch. The drama could have been better if they had better storlines for the rest of the cast. Yada 's story was interesting and they could have done something with it but they mainly toed the line. The side romances (Chett/Nut, Kang/Kawfang ) storylines felt contrived and did not add to the drama thus having no good reason to exist. I wish they had done a storyline with Thien's brother and sister-in law. They were very cute. And they should have a found a girl for Kob. One waiting in the wings for him to notice her romantically. It could have been awesome.

Acting - It was typical of a Thai drama but a bit better.

Music - Was good

Rewatch Value - I rewatched Muey and Thien's parts while the drama was in progress but have no current interest in rewatching after completing the drama.

Overall - I would recommend this drama if you are looking for a light watch and are used to Thai dramas. I loved watching the ML and FL interact and liked how they grew. Their family and friends were wonderful. I wish I could export them (family and friends) to other dramas , especially kdramas involving family.
