Sapai TKO (2019)

Where was the actual boxing?

The story isn't something we haven't come across before. The acting wasn't bad at all. As usual a dark sinned girl was playing a maid. Nothing to write about the music. This is another lakorn I'll never watch again, it'll be a waste of time.

If you think a guy cheating on his gf is funny and normal and you can overlook this glaring fault in his character then you'll surely love this lakorn. If you can accept a MIL drugging her DIL, accusing her of sleeping with her other son, then later escaping any concrete punishment by claiming that a young girl who was desperate for the ML brainwashed her, you'll love this lakorn. I swear it would have been really funny if there was no cheating angle. Are lakron writers not allowed to write such stories?

Sunmi is the daughter-in-law who is not Thai so her MIL keeps insulting her, claims she isn't fit to be a mother. Yet the dutiful son doesn't care. Is it supposed to be funny where a wife is mocked everyday, her husband isn't man enough to tell his mum to shut up and lets his wife be abused in front of their child. I'm not used to this type of 'humor'.

ML who is the second son, has an American girlfriend but since his mum hates women who are non-thai he too isn't man enough to talk it out, and hires the FL to pretend to be his wife. Then cheats on his innocent gf who is abroad by having feelings for the FL. Even the FL doesn't realize that such a guy will cheat her as well in future. The naïve gf finds out about this act but accepts it trusting her boyfriend, our heroic ML.

As usual, MIL + servant do very hurtful things but get away easy. After all you can't blame the ML's mom and have her beg for forgiveness. Just in 1 episode she suddenly becomes a saint and stops hating everyone. The saintly FL forgives it all, we can't have a FL with self respect in such dramas. As per our dear FL, the MIL did evil things bcoz she loves her sons a lot.

The scene where the ML brings his American gf home everyone's looking at her as if she's some nasty villain. Poor girl thought the FL was only pretending to be the wife and had no idea that her bf was busy having an affair. When she confronts the ML he confesses that he cheated on her and loves the FL. And is shameless enough to ask the gf if they can be friends now!! Thankfully she doesn't cling to a cheating loser and leaves him. In future I can totally see her hating all thai men just like how the MIL used to hate non-thai women. ML is truly his mother's son, says thank you and sorry to his gf and rushes to find the FL who takes no time in accepting him.

The way they brushed off how a girl learnt Thai for her boyfriend, trusted him so much but got deceived in the end was interesting to say the least. After all it's comedy and cheating is so much fun.

I had more laughs in the last 10 minutes or so of the last episode where they showed bloopers.

this show deserves more recognition

actually, i watched this show because of the tandem "danpattie" (they are a couple in real life) it was such a good show for me, it really deserves more viewers. if u're into romantic comedy then this one is for u. this also proves that just bc u're a girl doesn't mean u aren't strong enough. (tho the fighting scenes are reaaally funny) there aren't really many romantic scenes such as kissing scenes but if u want something to brighten up ur day when u're feeling blue. watch it! it won't disappoint u i promise. this is one of my faves now <3 also, the intro song is so cute as well i'd miss it. i wanted to say more but this show really made me SPEECHLESS.

Honestly, this show isn't a bad show at all. It truly is one of those, shut your brain off and just watch it to watch it type of shows. If you're looking for something with extreme romance, this isn't it for you. But if you're looking for something that's entertaining, honestly really funny and basically family orientated, then you're in the right spot. It's definitely just the daughter in law and mother at an all time battle because the mom adores her son and the daughter is tough and hilarious but who would've known that the main guy and girl were going to actually fall in love (i MEAN BESIDES US DUH) LOL unfortunately for me, the chemistry wasn't there even though the two are a real life couple. I liked the families and the drama and my favorite was Sunmi because she was just hilarious but other than that, I wish it could've been a little better.

PLOT:
It isn't anything too complicated. The plots surround the "war" between Rakfah and her mother-in-law who is very judgmental of people who she believes is not on the same level as her.
CHARACTERS:
Rakfah - boxer who does take any bs from anyone. She seems to be a relatively strong character that can sometimes be relatively dense but overall she isn't too annoying of a character.
Rawich - he isn't an extraordinary male lead. He hires Rakfah so that he doesn't have to deal with his issues with his mother. Once he starts developing feelings for Rakfah, he avoids facing his current girlfriend who is oblivious to everything that is happening. He is an okay character.
Kanokkan - very prejudiced against her daughter-in-laws, Rakfah's uncle (Singh) and Rakfah's brother (Jod). However, that's where the whole plot is about so it's okay. She is the only character that actually goes through some character development (even though I wish the development would progress at a slower pace - but I don't have these expectations for dramas).
Pimdeuan - really annoying. Acts like a child and throwing tantrums by screaming whenever she does not get her way.
ROMANCE:
Overall, the romance was kind of bland. There were so little romance scenes for the drama is mostly focused on this war between the daughter in laws and their mother in law. I do believe, if they had more scenes together, they would have some good chemistry.
OVERALL:
- Fun and lighthearted
- Had some funny moments
- Characters were decent
- Romance is okay
- Everything is just okay
