Ley Luang (2021)

What a battle that was! #TeamWork

If you’re looking for a cute, romance as the main storyline, then this drama is not for you. However, the main plot of the drama is very good and anticipating because it’s a battle between Venus, a cunning, evil woman who is an angel to the whole world, but inside, a devil vs. her victims, Ai, Pornparn, and Kwan #GirlPowerBaby!! who tries everything possible to unmask the real side of the villain.

Venus as a life coach does a great job manipulating the world for her own benefits. With her cunning games and mind, she was even able to manipulate, betray and use the ones closest to her (actually cares and loves her). Therefore, I found the whole teamwork of those 3 ladies who are her victims, just trying to find evidence to expose and take down Venus to be so satisfying! Every single episode, I was just waiting and waiting, but honestly, it did take a whole 12 episodes to finally bring this evil woman down, but it was so worth it! (Except for the last scene, ugh I don’t know why it was there) For some characters like Fin and Non, I wish they had a better ending, but everyone has to pay their karma right!

Ley Luang did lack my typical cup of tea genre “romance.” Although there is a cute romance plot of our main couple, Ai and Chawin AKA the most perfect boyfriend/husband in the world, I still did not find good chemistry between them. I mean the story was cute or whatever, but the chemistry felt bland and boring. I mean, the main plot was not about them or their love story, so I guess it’s understandable.

Overall it’s a great watch, solid plot. Did not feel so draggy or boring (although it’s 12 episodes, 1.5 hour long). Music and OST were decent. I liked everyone’s acting. Especially Cheer! Like I hated her character in the entire show and could not wait to see her go down! Lol that’s how you know an actor or actress did their job perfectly.

The story is great. The acting is exceptional. Most, if not all, the characters were solid. They all had their own compelling story arcs that makes you care about what happens to them. Not like in other stories where support characters are either just there or annoying as all hell.

There are two things that I really liked about the story.

Better Female Representation

Finally, we're getting female characters who are RATIONAL, strong, walks away from people who betray/disrespect them and who fight to get back up on their feet when they fall. Watching these women, regardless of socioeconomic status, band together to fight back after what was done to them was so satisfying. Pooklook, Ann S and Organ are the dream team I never imagined together, but they work magnificently lol.

Antagonist

Damn. This lady was like a brilliant chess master with 9 lives. She honestly was quite impressive. Deplorable but impressive lol. Every time people thought they had her, she reversed UNO their asses. This is my first Cheer drama. I honestly thought she was just some beauty pageant person and really had no expectations for her acting. Jesus christ, she owned her role.


I can't believe I slept on this. Thank you to the people who recommended this on the other dramas. Y'all doing god's work.
