Yaya and Nadech? Yes, please!
Overview:
I first watched this drama in 2011 and finally decided to write a review about it. This was my first lakorn I watched of Yaya and Nadech and became a huge fan of them. The first time watching this drama, I skipped around after the first 12 episodes when things went downhill, but after nine years, I finally rewatched the drama again. But if you are into the typical sweet, yet sour love stories, this might suit your taste.
Story (with a few minor spoilers):
Saichon is an orphan who was the eye candy of Min Island. Everything about him is perfect. He's hot, young, sweet, strong, etc.. Then comes in Nai Fah who was found washed ashore after a storm. Nai Fah lost all of her memories so the best choice for her was to stay on Min Island. Saichon eventually becomes the caregiver for Nai Fah and they slowly fall in love. Figures out, Nai Fah is a rich girl from the city and her older (adopted) sister, Fahlada, is trying to find her. The first twelve episodes focuses on how Nai Fah and Saichon falls in love and eventually gets married, while Fahlada is trying to find her sister. After that, when Nai Fah was forcefully taken away from Saichon and back to her sister, who happens to be evil, jealous, and selfish (typical villain traits), everything goes downhill. I skipped around because Saichon literally became a different man; plus he became rich after he saved a rich businessman (and that change of hairstyle really caught me off guard). When Nai Fah returned to the city, she went through surgery and regained her previous memories while she lost her memories from Min Island. Therefore, Saichon just thought that Nai Fah was faking everything and regretted her time with him on the island. He then proceeds to gets angry, possessive, jealous, and he literally sexually abused Nai Fah. Those were the main parts I skipped since I'm not a big fan of Thai dramas fantasizing rape. The ending was okay. The sister didn't really get what she deserved, she got more than what she deserved. I think it might just be me, but I was kind of sad that Nai Fah didn't regain any memories from Min Island. However, I did find it sweet how she chose to believe in Saichon's love for her. Overall, this was a pretty good storyline up until episode 12.
Acting/Cast:
To this day, Nadech and Yaya are still one of my favorite actor/actresses. Their acting has improved since 2011 so if you want to check them out more, definitely do! Their acting really shines in Leh Lub Salub Rarng. Their acting in this drama was pretty good, but you could tell they were still was developing. No major complaints though from this drama.
Music:
Two songs were repeated throughout the whole series. It really played with your emotions, like sometimes the song makes the scene really sweet, but sometimes it was just overplayed. It's really hard to not miss the background music but I think it could've been toned down at some point of the drama.
Rewatch Value:
Knowing that it took me 9 years to finally re-watch this drama, I would say rewatching it was not as thrilling as watching it the first time. I would definitely rewatch the first 12 episodes again, but not the last 9 just because it was not my cup of tea.
Overall:
Overall, this was a good drama, minus the last half of the show. The first half was a extremely good yes, but the second half was an eh. If the second half of the drama wasn't so extremely long and draggy, I think I would put this drama in my top 10 favorite Thai lakorns. But as of right now, it'll have to sit in my top 20's.
