Karat Ruk (2021)

This drama was really good. I really love the chemistry between the main characters. The story was interesting and the development was quick. There wasn’t any weird things because sometimes in Thai dramas that happens a lot.
I would love to see more romantic scenes between Ai and Carat.
The last episode was too fast. So many things happened during it. I thing the story needed a couple more of episodes to develop more their story.
I always think that James Jirayu is a really good actor.
This was my first time watching Anne Thongprasom and I really enjoyed her acting.
It only has 15 episodes, not 20 as is shown here

Loved it

I loved this drama so much and although it was good that it wasnt one of those long dramas that drag on with more and more silly plot twists... I actually wished this was longer because I enjoyed it so much. A beautiful romantic love story with amazing chemistry between Anne and James. Wish they had made an extra couple of episodes to show more romantic scenes between the two leads as the last episode was a bit rushed and I was like it's over now. The main song melody was really beautiful and I immediately had to download it. Hope to see more dramas with the 2 of them together. Age is just a number.

Cuteness Overloaded!

This was one of the cutest, most adorable lakorns I’ve watched in a while. Although I do like rom-coms, I find most of them cliche and just gets boring to watch on the road to finish. On the opposite side of the road, Karat Rak to me had many unique aspects (including characters, plot phase) and felt like a pretty smooth ride.

Let me start with the plot. Yes, it’s your typical older woman, younger man type of plot. Karat, a 39 year old successful single mother who falls in love with Ai, a 23 year old intern after going through a divorce thanks to an unfaithful, cheating husband. Normally you would expect this type of plot to be a dramatic melodrama where you’ll need a whole lot of tissues (Yes, you’ll need them later on, but it’s not that bad). In this case, it honestly was a smooth ride with lots of laughs and cuteness because of the comedy factor. To summarize, the plot focuses on Karat’s aims to reach peak of her career with Ai’s help and Ai’s goal to win the girl of his dreams.

Let’s talk about the characters. I am gonna start with my favorite pair, Ai and Putter! Ai is your typical husband goals ! Oh my god, I LOVED the relationship with him and Karat’s son, Putter! They had this cutest, most realistic father-son, little bromance type relationship where instantly, you just fall for Ai’s character. I’m not a huge James Ji fan because I’ve seen enough of him playing the nice guy roles, but personally, this was special. This was that lakorn that made me a fan of James Ji! I think these type of playful, nice-guy roles fits him perfectly.

When it comes to our leads, Ai and Karat, did I think they had chemistry? Sure. I mean, they were cute together, but sometimes, certain scenes felt cringy because the age gap was so noticeable. You have James Ji looking like a 18-19 year old while Ann looking way older. I thought maybe Bella would have been a good fit for this female lead, but I mean as long as our leads are happy with each other, that’s what matters so yes, I was rooting for a happy ending without any separations, misunderstandings or heartbreaks. As a complete family though, they were just the most adorable family ever! Especially my little Putter! He’s my star of the show.

Side characters (good and annoying) also added a kick to this lakorn. I loved the little cat fights lol, those were entertaining cause some of the characters do annoy you, and it’s so satisfying to see them get what they deserve. Karma always catches up! So I’m happy with the consequences to those ones.

Aside from those, I think the production quality was great. The OST “We Are Alright” is beautiful! The only thing I feel that could be improved about this drama is the ending. It felt a bit rushed after the dragging the drama in the last 2-3 episodes (typical). I would love to have more cute moments between Ai and Karat, and as they build their little family. I would love to see little Putter calling P’Ai, Pa instead of P! Because they sure do like and act like father and son. Same goes to you Ai! Stop calling your dream girl P’ lol She’s no longer your boss, I just find those little things a bit cringy, and keep hoping for developments later on. Haha
