Jao Gum Nai Wen (2022)

that joyless place. I like to call; The last 11 episodes

"Whoa. Speculation reset. Just toss everything we thought we knew last week out" (2 months ago). My comment after episode 6 aired - where the line draws, and romance ends.

Where, watchers thought maybe a great chemistry could climb out into the light toward freedom. A place, that hunted-young-couple would discover love and themselves in the process. But, that story-180, took our leads away from originality, and right back where they started.

Where, the rich can take your organs, ruin your life, kill your child, and force lust on you. While, clueless vengeance and misunderstandings loop repetitively. We all know that place, that joyless place. I like to call it; The last 11 episodes of this soap-opera.

That wonder of walking down a dirt road, in a crown of straw, with a pony-tailed man - With old nanny as witness to a wedding under a open sky. All fell to nothing, and in the end the house they built, meant even less. That couple; mundane, but rich; chemistry gone; wander the earth; to write five star hotel reviews in branded gear. What a difference, that time skip made.

There are better romances out there. This could have been something special, but, it isn't. Not recommended.

My First Lakorn

I do not think that I am the type of person that likes Lakorns. I have never really tried so I do not know for sure. I decided to give 'Bad Romeo' a chance because the poster looked good, the trailer looked good and the male lead with the male bun looked good. So, I am going in without really knowing much.
I was afraid that I was going to get bored with episodes that are one hour and thirty minutes long. However, that has not happened once. The episodes even feel short!
It is a given that 'Bad Romeo' is going to have drama and so far, I am enjoying it a lot. Will it continue to have drama that I can tolerate and enjoy? That I do not know but I will have to find out.

Final thoughts: I loved it. I lived it. I have become a fan of Yaya and Mario.
For my first Lakorn, I think 'Bad Romeo' has set the bar really high.
