My first ever Thai lakorn (drama). ???? I was initially hesitant to watch this series since I'm a devoted Kdrama fan. Out of boredom and a huge thirst for something different, I started looking at different series outside Korean, Taiwanese or Japanese. Accidentally, I saw remakes of popular kdrama series to Thai like Full House, Playful Kiss (Kiss Me Thai), Princess Hours, Coffee Prince, etc. Seeing great reviews and playing safe, I tried watching Kiss Me Thai and I was not disappointed. The gist of the story was the same as the anime where it was based (Itazura Na Kiss) but they added a few details that made the drama more realistic and appealing. First off, the casts were amazing! I loved the chemistry of Mike and Aom! They looked sooo adorkable together. Both of them delivered the characters; Tenten, the cold poker faced intelligent guy and Taliw, the cheerful, not so bright but kind hearted girl, superbly! Each episode made me a fan of both artists. Secondly, the supporting casts were also eye candies! I particularly loved King (played by Tao) here. He really showed his love for Taliw and I almosy had a second lead syndrome because of him. Lol. Thirdly, out of all the versions that I have seen, this one never lets me feel frustrated with Tenten. He might be cold hearted but not to the point of bullying Taliw. I can also feel his sincerity towards Taliw that is why seeing him falling for her was easier to understand (as compared with other versions). Lastly, the ending was very well done! It gave me a very nice summary of what really happened to both of them since they were kids. It also helps me understand Tenten more. There is also no rushed endings as compared to other dramas. I would have given a higher ratings if not for two things; first, I felt that there were some fillers that were better off deleted. Honestly, I prefer dramas which focuses more (80% of the time) with the OTPs. Secondly, the OST din not touched me as much as I want to. There were no LSS thingy for me which was actually a bummer. But overall, I super enjoyed it! It was fun and very entertaining! After watching this, I was fully ready to try my first ever original Thai lakorn. ????
