Lao Chan (2024)

It Was Okay

So, this one took me a while to finish. I actually watched the first episode when it was initially released, but something about it didn't make me feel like 'Oh, I am looking forward to the next episode'.

I think off the bat what I was underwhelmed with was the introductions of not only the new generation, but the reintroduction of the Suparburoot Jutathep (SJ) characters especially the couples and great grandma. This was probably what I was most looking forward to the most before the series started - how they were going to show off each parents' personalities and how maybe their kids are the same or not. But the SJ characters don't seem like their originals and I get that they are all now older and parents, but being a big fan of the original, it was a shame that it wasn't really shown much. It got a little better as the episodes went on, but still it was just okay.

And that also goes for the new generation, especially the sons. There wasn't anything special about their introductions or even to show what their personalities are. I was surprised that them just being in a room together was everyone's intros...again, I can't help but compare to the SJ series and how strong of an introduction it was for each brother and each of their future wives. Chat ended up being a breath of fresh air when he popped into the last few episodes, but at first I wasn't even excited about that, lol. Cause again we weren't really introduced to these characters well enough imo.

The main couple was again okay for me. I don't think they had romantic chemistry, but their scenes together weren't terrible either. But that really can't be helped when the FL is written to barely think about the ML especially in a romantic sense. Yes, romance isn't a big part of this one, but because of it being rare, that's when there should be moments of it where it should just then spark! But that doesn't happen here. And at the end of the day, this series is mainly about how the couples start and end their journeys. So, it should be an important factor.

The main story didn't really keep my attention. And man was that a really big loop to make the connection of how Laorchan is Thewaphrom. But the last couple of episodes were probably the best overall for me, those I did enjoy a lot more. I think I would only rewatch certain scenes rather than whole episodes. And the acting was good, nothing terrible.

I know a lot of people thought the first series in SJ wasn't the best, but it's honestly one of my favorites, lol. I think it's mainly cause of Great and Preem for me, I really liked their chemistry. So, this being the start so far is a little disappointing. But it looks to be picking up so, onto the next!

1st story of set of 5 stories... The journey to find the truth

Never read the novel so no expectations but was eagerly waited to see GulfKanawut's performance after the success of Bua Phun Fan Yap. It's about the journey of Laorchan to find the truth about her family and her boss Khun Phu who truly and sincerely loves her.The betrayal of Laorchans best friend but the most impressive was the acting of Gulfkanawut especially in EP7 and so on, his tears was real and the bonding and the warmth of the family.. I love that family so much .. At times Gulfkanawut as Khun Phu's character bring tears in viewers eyes too.. His eyes express all his emotions and brings out the best of him... and it tells his stories . If you expect romance and kissing in the lakorn, im sorry,its very limited... The script and editing could have been better. At the end the cast did their job amazingly especially Gulfkanawut...

Let's be honest, it's mid.

Story:
Starting with the story, it's all over the place. I felt like I was watching 3 different shows. The first part is when Laor is trying to steal the gemstone. This part was fine. It was nothing special. The classic one person fools the other to get what they want and then they fall in love, etc. I was ok with this part of the story. It was a bit boring though. The second part is when they're in the forest trying to find the temple. What was the point of this part?! Why the hell was it so long?! I get that they were trying to repair the relationship between Laor and Phu, but it was way too long for its own good. It was so boring that I skipped most of it. The climax felt rushed and didn't live up to all the tension that was built. The last part was finding out how Laor is related to the Devaphrom. I know why they did it. They had to make her related to the Dhevaphroms somehow, but it was highly convoluted and unnecessary.

Acting:
It was ok. The main leads had no chemistry, however. They did not make me believe they were in love with each other. I was more convinced that Laor was in love with Sun than Phu. Gulf was holding up the emotions betweenthe couple for me. All Gina gave me was blank stares and no emotion, but I did like the scenes where she was grieving for Sun. That was the only time I felt her emotions. I liked the supporting cast's acting much better. Orm(Kanthika), Peterpan(Sun), Smith(Satarassamee), and even Artz(Nutjari) were much more believable in their acting than the main cast. Kanthika probably being my favorite among all the characters because she just seemed so natural in her role.

Music:
I liked the music. I wouldn't listen to it outside of the show, but it went with the atmosphere and theme of the show. The prequel's opening was much better though.

Rewatch:
No, thank you. I'd rather watch their parents' love story.

Overall:
Mid.

I’ve just finished watching this lakorn. I’m familiar with Gina, having previously watched her lakorn with James Ji. I don’t know any of the younger actors, but having watched lakorns for such a long time now, I am familiar with seasoned actors and actresses, such as Grandma On, Pop, Phol, etc.

I have watched the prequels, but I didn’t enjoy this sequel as much as I enjoyed the prequels. Gulf needs to work on his acting skills a bit more. When Bomb, Great, Pope, James Ji, and James Ma filmed the Khun Chai Series, they were already experienced actors.

I still don’t understand why they replaced Bomb, Great, Pope, James Ji, and James Ma, who were their fathers, with other actors. Surely, with SFX, they could have aged them.

I didn’t feel much chemistry between Gina and Gulf.

I patiently watched the lakorn without dropping it. As the story progressed, it got better.

I have a lot of questions. What happened to Sun after he was hospitalized? How did they find out that Laor is a Dhevaprom?

The Temple series was way too long. We don’t get to see the main couple getting married, just a proposal, that’s it.

I don’t think this has rewatch value. I much prefer rewatching the prequels.

I can see that there are just positive messages from fangirls, just like we used to see in idol Kdramas.

Laorchan review

I've been waiting for this lakorn fir two years. And I couldn't be more happier to have watch it. It was really well made indeed. Lot of beautiful scenes. The acting by Gulf Kanawut was always on top. The fact he can switch from mad to sad, ti funny. It speak volumes about his skills. The fighting scene at the beginning. The story kept you wanting to watch another episode because you wanted to know what will going to happen next. The great use of CGI. The most part and beautiful part for the whole team was in the forest. It turned out absolutely beautifully. To me is a 10/10 totally worth to watch it and to re-watch 😊
