"When we were eighteen,we fell in love,loved each other,cried,ran away,knelt down.And turned our backs at each other countless of times.I thought it was a pretty dream.But you ended up being a nightmare."

-Kim Tan

With the best cast,the best dialuges,expressive characters,interesting relationships and beautiful and epic love-story.."The Heirs" are one show i will never forget.I watched this one with great attention,both laughed and cried with the characters.Watching Lee Min-Ho and Kim Wo-bin co-star as nemesis,their epic performances are one thing i unlikely will ever forget.Everything intruged me,and i found a lot of these characters passionate,and i rooted for them with all my heart.We get to watch them fall in love,suffer,battle,fight through obstacles and grow up in the imaginary Elite world they live in.

"If I could stop the time so we can stay together forever, I would even sell my soul.Because it's so hard for me to feel this way.I had once wished that I had never met you.But even if I could turn back the time, I would meet you again. We would have the same arguments again.You would have fallen in love with me again.I would love you again." ~Cheon Song Yi

Sometimes i wonder if it`s only dramas that can make me so emotional like this,unlike reality.This romantic fantasy drama was a major hit in South Korea and received immense popularity across Asia,starring the great korean stars Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun as the made leads,they instantly brain-wash you into this one amazing impossible Love-story..ahh one of the greatest.I adore both the hero and heroine.Fate was always behind them,and it was time for them to madly fall in love with each other.Song Yi was a very self-loving actress from the start,but really came to be a worthy heroine.Her crazy humor just made me laugh out many times and i just rooted for her with all my heart.As for Do Min-joon (remember the actor from "Dream High",oh he was such a sweetheart),how could you not fall in love with him,when he is the hero every girl wish for.He was doomed when it came to Song Yi already from the start..the power of love.I also very much adored the second male-lead Hee-kyung played by Park Hae-jin are very irresistible too with his charming Golden Boy looks and attitude."My Love from the Star" will make you feel every possible emotion you can feel,ladies and gentlemen!..and get ready for it!

I don`t know what to say.I came into this drama knowing what to expect,but couldn`t imagine how hard it would hit me to the stomach."Stairway to Heaven" is a classic of its own,that takes over the list of star-crossing love-story over all other love-stories that have been aired in Korea and throughout Asia.Every 20 episodes is worth it...you live into their world of splendid happiness,pain,heartbreak,grief,hate,jealousy and bitter-sweet love that easily destroys the individs "Stairway to Heaven" is surronded by.The cast is simply amazing,and in my mind Choi Ji-Wo and Kwon Sang-Woo and Shin Hyun Joon are the true stars in the drama,all of their performances are heartfelt and expressive.All of them shined together on-screen,and delivered amazingly.By the way,i found the main-characters Jung-suh and Song-joo very beautiful together,wheww what a mind-blowing chemistry they have!!!

Jung-suh (played by Choi Ji Wo) is an admirable heroine with her heart on her sleeve.Every man easily could fall in love with her,as her beauty is inside and out.Her strength and bravery and care-free nature is what lures Song-joo into her net,he is her beloved child-hood friend..and her lover and soulmate.Even falling into the clutches of amnesia,her heart still belonged to Song-joo.

"From the moment i saw you,i thought you were Jung-Suh and that thought hasn`t changed at all...I look like a crazy fool,huh?I think i am gonna go crazy,I don`t think i can live anymore!What should i do?What do i have to do?Do something to me!" - Song Joo

Song-joo (played by Kwon Sang Woo) is a hero to die for and i love him so so so much.The actor playing him is so deliciously handsome,and showed the eternal love and longing Song-joo have towards Jung-suh so well that i cried for him.He can`t live without her,and we all root for him to find his beloved Jung-suh again,after she was so cruelly taken away from him.

"I...I`ll wait here.If you still haven`t sorted out your feelings after going in...then when you come out,don`t look at me and just go.If you...If you have some doubts and come back to me...I won`t let you go until i die.Even if you hate me...I still won`t let you go". -Tae Hwa

Tae-hwa (played by Shin Hyun Joon) is the step-brother of Jung-suh and is one of the best supporting characters i have ever stood upon.His soul is so haunted and lonely..and lives and breathes only for Jung-suh.Its so heartbreaking watching a second male lead love the heroine this much...and i kinda hated the pain he went through with his unrequited love for her.I believe that Jung-suh loved Tae-hwa more than she love herself,but not in any romantic way.

The younger actors of that time Park Shin-hye,Baek Sung Hyun and Lee Wan played the younger versions of these characters very well,and i have to say that Shin-hye and Lee Wan indeed has got the better chemistry in their characters,which surprised me.I understood why they got their own drama later on in "Tree of Heaven" two years later with the same director.I also recommend that drama,which is a heart-shattering tale as well.I also have to mention that the OST´s of "Stairway to Heaven" are extremely beautiful and catchy,my favourites are "That`s the only One" and the song about Tae-hwa`s unrequited love for Jung-suh "Heaven`s Memory".

It is much clear from the start that the outcome of this film will be a heart-wrenching one!It cheats your hope in many ways,but you can`t help but fall in love with it all! This is a romantic drama that represents a daisy flower which symbolize innocence and purity through a love-triangle,in which two opposite forces falls in love with one woman.

Gianna gives out a outstanding performance as the carefree painter Hye-young. A young woman who has her heart on her sleeve who waits for her true love that has given her daisies for a long time and even build a bridge for her. Thinking its her new friend Jeong Woo...she has actually no idea who it really was. The character of Jeong Woo played by Lee Sung-jae had sadly no emotional depth that could relate me much to him. Fate made him meet Hye-young,but also took him ruthlessly away from her. professional hitman Park Yi played by Woo-sung has a dark charisma that kept you glued to the screen every time he made a appearance,his loneliness shows from his sad expressions...and his doomed love and passion for Hye-young was what made the true spark in this whole film. Them two together on-screen was magic!

Finally finished watching the 2005 version of "Neung Nai Suang" starring the legendary Ken Theeradeth and Janie Tienphosuwan. It`s my first time also watching Janie on-screen and she did a remarkable job as the stubborn Hathairat who never surrenders to Ken`s character Neung, a man who once as a boy bullied her.It has of course the same plot as the 2015 version, but only has less love-scenes and crazy drama (especially with the antagonists). But it has its charm to it despite being an old drama, and with Ken`s youthful handsome looks, he is the original Neung- and does a damn good job at playing him too. Some of the actors from the newer version even has their roles in this one too (one example is the actor that plays Neung`s father) which was very interesting. There is the chemistry between Hathairat and Neung that wins over it all, and the title does it well with staying true to the plot.A story about enemies turning to lovers, "One in my heart" depicting the way both of them irresistibly fall in love with each other-while staying at war against each other!

In this drama we get explored into the very common topic in inner Korea,and that is the looks of every persons.If you are pretty or ugly, you get judged by your looks.If people look better they even have an advantage in the job market. So in all that South Korea has the most plastic surgeries per capita on earth. Every girl in Korea gets a plastic surgery as a graduation present,isn`t that crazy? In this very popular drama, we follow the story of the very sensitive and insecure Kang Mi-rae who gets plastic surgery before entering college because of the bullying of her "ugly" face which she has suffered her whole life.Through surgery she becomes very beautiful and throughout the story we see her recovering her self-esteem, getting new friends, overcoming her inner demons and realizing that life is about much more than mere looks, and lastly finding true love in her possessive protector, the very handsome Do Kyung-seok. I adore this couple so much! Do Kyung is seen as a very cold-hearted person,as he is rude to all the people around him and is very straight-faced and blunt.But he becomes very fascinated by Mi-Rae, and without knowing always follows around her like a puppy,so cute! Soon enough he gets smitten by her, and does his best to change for her and the way he tries to woo her is so romantic that i sighed so many times!You should also see his mindblowing smile,it lights up his whole face!"Gangnam Beauty" is a wonderful drama with a very sweet romance and exciting drama.I finished watching it in three days, and being one of the highest rated dramas right now i highly recommend it!

"I love you,Muey.I`ve always loved you. Do you know that every time i wake up i can feel that i love you even before i feel my own breathing. Every time that i make you angry...Every time that i make you sad...It hurts. But i chose to do it because i know that it`s the only way for you to look at me."

-Thaecho to Muey

I have stopped count over how long i waited for this lakhorn to get subbed.When i finally found the whole lakhorn subbed in Facebook,i directly sat down to watch it..and wow!How i love it!A Maffia Romantic Action Drama i will never forget starring the handsome actor (how he makes my heart flutter) Pae Arak Amornsupasiri as the Arrogant Maffia Leader Thaecho of Chaturupki Clan and the sweet actress Nicha Palwatwichai starring as the heroine (Nangek) Muey.This lakhorn did not only entertain me,but it also got me addicted to it.The powerful presence of the hero Thaecho and his (oh so beautiful) romance with heroine Muey got me stuck in this whole mess.With a intruging plot it all added to the intense angst of this drama that also involves many dynamic and exciting characters.Revenge,loyalty,betrayal,brotherhood,family,honor adds to this whole Maffia world where we watch the most cruel-blooded act of vengeance and hatred turn into tragedies everywhere.This is a must watch,my friends!It will excite and shock you with it`s twists and delicious drama!!!

"We have hated,loved and hurt each other.After all that regardless of the outcome and the challenges,in every minute of my life,i love him with all my heart." -Shancai

What a blasting news it was when "Meteor Garden" got released in 2018 and it took me 2 years to find the right time to finally sit down and watch in on Netflix.I have been so much busy with studying and catching up with my life that i haven`t simply had the time.But watching this new version of "Boys over Flowers" and re-capturing all the moments of struggle,heartbreak,unrequited love,love-triangles and friendship and love between the main-heroine and the legendary F4 members was fun and entertaining and romantic!I never get tired of this story,as i have watched (and loved) the earlier korean,japanese and taiwanese adaptions of "Boys over Flowers".

This is a hate-to-love romance about the star-crossed lovers Daoming Si and Dong Shancai.The romance is high,and so is the drama.If you want high-school drama,love-triangles,irresistible male-leads,kidnapping,bullying,threats of Joker cards,main-leads stranded on a Island,attempted murderer,blackmail, competitions and a male-lead who swears that he will follow his heroine to the end of Mars if he have to...this 2018 version of "Meteor Garden" has it all..so look no further!

I was at first worried if Dylan Wang could pull off the beloved character of the bad boy heir Daoming Si like Jerry Yan,Jun Matsumoto and Lee Min-ho did in their adaptions of the character.But wow how he astounded me with his devilish smile and charm.Dylan did great in expressing his undying love for the first girl who have ever stood up against 4F,his beloved Shancai played by Shen Yue.Shen Yue is a incredible actress who pulled off the character of Shancai with honorable dignity and spirit.The chemistry between the co-stars are super,which really made me stuck with this story from the first episode.Dylan and Shen on-screen are fireworks and i never tired of watching them together!

"If apologies worked,why would we need the police" -Daoming Si (a famous quote this character uses in every version of BOF)

Daoming Si is rich,arrogant and impulsive and the leader of 4F.He is one of the most beloved Anti-heroes in Asianovela with his passionate outbursts in pain and love,his loyalty and devotion to the people he love.He is a guy who destroys everything against him,as he tries to do with Shancai before realizing that he loves this spirited girl early on in the story.His temper and cruel antics is what really hurts Shancai from the start,especially when he out of raging jealousy forcefully kissess her.Her tears makes him realize that he can`t go on that way anymore.In bullying and hurting her...he only made her hate stronger.Her love for his best-friend,the calmest of the F4 Huaze Lei (played by Darren Chen) is heartbreaking for Daoming Si to bear,but he insists on wooing Shancai and tries to win her heart in the only way he can.Its a beautiful journey where we watch Daoming Si redeem himself,with the guidance of his F4 friends and mostly his love for Shancai.He is defenitely my favourite character in this series!(AND in all the other versions of BOF)

"Because you`re the only one I`m willing to trade all the meteors in the sky for" -Daoming Si

Shancai is the perfect match for the mighty Daoming Si,but doesn`t know it until later on.With heR strong will and strength,she fights on toe to toe against Daoming Si and never surrenders.What she doesn`t know is that he will be the one to surrender due to his irrevocable love for her.Her youthful crush for Lei is painful to watch (in every versions) but the actress had good chemistry with Darren Chen and there are many cute scenes with them.And how glad i was when Daoming Si finally succeeded in catching Shancais heart!Shancai and Daoming Si are incredible characters that complements and are perfection together.They speak the same language,touch the same way,walks the same and breathes the same.They are in one bubble no one can destroy,and they are soulmates that are fated to be mated.So many challenges and heartbreak these two had to over-come...but Oh how bittersweet it was!I loved it!What a beautiful couple with a beautiful love-story!!!

I love the 4F gangs in all adoptions of "BOF",and the characters of Daoming Si,Huaze Lei, Yan Ximen and Feng Mei Zuo are all talented,handsome,seductive,irresistible young males that made my heart beat faster!I love Daoming Si`s childish nature..where he is the dark bad boy everyone fears but has a golden heart hidden deep down.Huaze Lei with his musical nature and looks of innocence,he smiled like an angel and i was done for!Yan Ximen with his casanova ways of charm and seduction swooned me with his uprightness and loyalty.Mei Zuo are kind of cheeky and fun with his ironic remarks and usually only dates older women.All these four men are absolutely amazing creatures and i envy Shancai for befriending them and stealing the leaders heart.

"Dong Shancai.I like you...i don`t know why.Even i am surprised by how much i like you.No matter where i go,you`re the only person i see...Shancai,i know that i am annoying.If you want to run away then i will chase after you.If you run to Mars,i will still chase you to Mars." -Daoming Si

Year 2010 was a wonderful year for the Thai industry when the delightful,romantic and exciting "4 Hearts Behind the Mountains" aired in 4 split parts about the quadruplets Fai,Din,Lom and their only sister Nam.All 4 of them have followed their dreams in pursuit of successful careers and have all their different stories where they taste the flavor of love."Pathapee Leh Ruk" is the third part in the "4 Hearts Behind the Mountain"-series and follows the strict and handsome Din Pathapee (played by Mark Prin) who is the owner of Thararin Resort.He instantly dislikes the girl who always sticks her nose around everything Cha-aim (played by Mint Chalida) and he instantly suspects her motives of coming to his resort.In fact Cha-aim has been sent there by her father who wants her to spy on Din`s business dealings and she is only doing it to gain his affections.But the time comes where Din and Cha-aim can`t close their hearts for each other.

This part was colorful and fun and i sensed how strong the chemistry was between Mint and Mark since they also were strong koo-jins during their early lakhorns together until he became koojin with Kimberly in his later lakhorns.But Mint`s acting in this lakhorns was quite painful to watch since she really struggled to act natural in the character of Cha-aim.I also find this part memorable because of Din`s allergy to gay people,i mean he literally fainted everytime a guy flirted with him,LOL!

“You’re not afraid of anything in this world, but when you see a bug you start quivering in fear. Rather than having a single finger broken on your girlfriend, you’re an idiot that thinks it would be better if all your ribs were broken instead. You don’t even know the difference between pride and privacy. You’re so stupid you swear your always right even though you completely mess up every saying in the book. You hate kids but you want to take your son to go see the stars.
You want to become a good father. You’re a lonely but affectionate person. That’s exactly who you are. Say it… my name.” – Jan Di

Star in My Heart: a classic tale of growth, independence, true love and lasting friendships.

This was a wonderful story overall. Gripping in its essence and filled with artlike direction and music that filled your soul with characters that really made you root for them. Really made me wish for their happiness and for them to find the stars in their hearts. Hope,solace and happiness!

Yun hee portrayed by Choi Jin Shil is a lovely heroine! She was was so sweet, nice but stubborn and fierce in her determination. I just fell in love with her designer talents! The actress is so beautiful as well! Her chemistry was amazing with Min hee portrayed by Jae Wook. Ah his handsome charming looks made me swoon! And the way he tackled his life problems and found solace in his music, my heart broke for his soul many times, the way his father caged him in like a prisoner several times. I love that he was supposed to take her number to give to his bestfriend Joon-hee portrayed by In pyo but ended up pursuing her himself!

My journey with "Unwilling Bride"

was...how should i put it? A different one. My rating is sorely based on that i only enjoyed the first six episodes and the writing went downhill with a lot of repetitive behaviour and situations. It grew boring fast so i had to speed forward and 16 episodes after that was a lot for me. But let me compliment at how stunning Mik Thongraya & Pooklook looked together on-screen and how well they portrayed their characters. The ML Kadethaen is really famous for being one of the steadfast, passionate and honest heroes of Lakhornland and i give props to Mik for handling this character with such charm throughout this lakhorn. Nackarin portrayed by Guy Ratchanont was another intriguing character as soon as he got introduced- he was a Anti-hero with a dark background, he made the story interesting with his revenge plot.

"I won`t give you up. You are mine. Only mine." - Naparoot

***
"Fai Luang" is a old-school slap-kiss soap opera with lots of intensity in its melodramatic essence. It has all that i love in lakhorns of this genre. Romance, passion, hatred, revenge and two main-leads that refuse to back off from their purpose. It stars the handsome Willie Ruengrit as the avenging and domineering hero Naparoot who in every sense of the word wants to ruin the life of his deceased father`s mistress and in turn hurt her younger sister, the one woman who ever infuriates him and makes him go mad with anger and passion, the very gentle but stubborn Yotien starred by Tao Sarocha. She is furious over her sisters actions and betrayal but with fierce patience and good will she tries to gain the forgiveness of Naparoot`s family, which only infuriates him even more. Their love for each other became the burning fire that at first was built by intense hatred, both Naparoot & Yotien get hurt by it and both refuse to even acknowledge it or even give in to it.

I totally lost sleep over this incredible story. All the characters felt so real to me and their emotions were well acted out by the whole cast. Willie just took my breath away with his gripping performance by truly showing how Naparoot was at the peak of losing his mind. He was the soul of this story, no one was above him and could really stand up against him, well except for his very beloved heroine who refused to surrender.

I don`t really remember why i picked Tears in Heaven to watch, especially since i rarely watch chinese dramas. Must have been because of some intriguing videos on youtube and the alluring storyline that is a great potential of emotional angst i just craved. I have read great stuff about the novel this drama is adapted from, i made a research about the author Fei Wo Si Cun who is literally FAMOUS for her many angsty romances that got adapted into dramas like one of my favourites "Siege in Fog".

Watching the drama with its beautiful OST and memorable characters was a treat and the first 20 episodes were great. I loved the slow burn but intense love-story between Du Xiaosu & Lei Yuzheng. How they actually bonded because of their love for Zhen Rong who died so tragically. I feel like the main plot and focus was lost after Yuzheng got into jail in ep 21. I knew the writers shied away from the heavy angst that was in the novel and how deeply twisted and toxic main-leads relationship actually was, and how sad it actually became (as i have read some spoilers of the novel) but the saving grace was somehow the redemption of a villanious greedy character Lin Xiang Yuan who i actually came to ship with Fan Lu. They literally felt like a old couple still in love. This drama could have been sooooo much better without all the business politics and investigation that dominated for the entire other half od this drama. Felt like i was wasting so much time watching it. But i am glad i finished it. I think i will always remember Tears in Heaven for the melancholic and sad feeling it could give me sometimes.
