Duang Jai Akkanee (2010)

Lakorn culte avec le duo Nadech + Yaya en Roméo + Juliette

Ce Lakorn reprend un peu la story Roméo & Juliette, mais à la sauce thaï et chez de riches éleveurs (ils ont tous le look cowboys :).

La romance animée par le duo Nadech/Yaya est très cute et vous collera à votre écran, sans aucun doute. Juste une remarque sur la censure ? la pudeur ? des lakorns : même les baisers entre lovers sont à peine effleurés :( :(

Pour une fois, on n'a pas trop de mélo, la story est réaliste. Les personnages sont bien développés et attachants (sauf le bad guy qui en fait des tonnes, allant même jusqu'à vendre sa sœur !!). Mais par miracle, tout le monde finit par se repentir...

L'ensemble est bien réalisé (malgré quelques longueurs sur les scènes émotionnelles). Les magnifiques paysages de la campagne/montagne thaï sont mis en valeur.
La musique (dont le volume perturbe par moments la narration) est bien adaptée aux émotions.

Je ne regarde que rarement des dramas, mais je visionnerai peut-être à nouveau celui-ci car il est vraiment un MUST TO WATCH.

You might think that I overrated the show a bit. I mean 9.5 is pretty high. I do feel like I may be a little biased because-
-This is my first thai drama ever.
-And I'm a sucker for this kind of storyline. Seriously, I love those stories where the MCs hate each other at first and then fall in love together.

As apparent from the synopsis above, Duang jai Akkanee is a modern day version of Romeo & Juliet.
The basic storyline of the show is that Fai (male MC) and Jeed (female MC) come from families that hate each other. And at first, they share that sentiment too. But overtime, they fall in love.
It might not be the first show to implement the 'enemies-to-lovers' storyline, but believe me, it plays it really well. The actors are really natural.

At first this seemed like a typical rom-com, and it is, no doubt about it. However it also shows serious obstacles that our MCs have to face. It features the terrible problems of gambling, fraud and it shows how much pride can affect our lives for the negative.This show features people with real problems and not just ones that never actually happen in real life. PLUS, the main couple are just sooo cute, both Jeed and Fai.

As to why I loved the show (aside from all the aforementioned reason) : I loved the fact that, even through all all of their bickering, the OTP still had so many cute moments and the fact that they were together for the majority of the drama. It was always them fighting against the world. And it's not the misunderstandings never occurred, but when they did, they were resolved very quickly. The other party was always open to reasoning and logics, and just listening to the person they loved

Only fact I was bothered by was the fact that everyone took the act of rape very lightly, joking abut it and all. Personally, I pretended it didn't happen (to that extent). It was for, like, a single episode anyway.

Just a note, THERE IS NO RAPE in this drama!

Happy watching! :)
