Thai Lakorn Review : Revenge/Slap&Kiss theme drama

Slap & kiss or Revenge is one of the most famous (& fan's favourite) genre in lakorn world. Let me tell u a liitle bit about lakorn with this genre..

for slap/kiss genre, the plot usually will be about the p'ek (hero) is trying to seek revenge on the n'ek (heroin) for some reason. E.g : the n'ek family cause the p'ek family commit suicide, or maybe the p'ek think that the n'ek broke his brother heart n many more reason. Some of the reason are reasonable but some of the reason are actually over the top to me. Anyhow, the p'ek then will continuously hurt, molest n sometime there will also be rape scene involve (even though the R scene are shown in appropriate way but it might still be disturbing for some of you, so i'll tell u which lakorn contain R scene).
Spoiler : the plot usually end with the p'ek falling for the n'ek, the misunderstanding is resolve, and some p'ek(not all) try to redeem for their mistake.
BTW, i think it is call slap n kiss bcoz there will be a bunch of scene where the hero tried to kiss the n'ek by forced & get slapped. & they try again, & get slapped again....and they continuously do so through out the lakorn (*sigh)

for revenge genre: this genre is pretty much the same like slap/kiss except for the fact that sometimes the n'ek is the one seeking revenge. Usually in this sort of lakorn, the n'ek will try to make the p'ek to fall in love with her in order to seek revenge for various reason.

so here are some lakorn with these genre

1) Sawan Biang (Paradise Diversion)------(contain R scene)

u can consider this as the most famous slap/ kiss lakorn of all times..if u guys are looking for hard core slap kiss lakorn, then this lakorn is a must watch.

Synopsis: Sawan_Biang_(2008)
Cast: Ken Theeradeth & Ann Thong (KA team)
Ep: 12 eps
My opinion: the cast is perfect. this is one of the best lakorn done by KA team. the acting was perfect & the chemistry was sizzling hot. the storyline is juz amazing. the fact that the n'ek didnt easily forgive the p'ek after all the evil thing he done make me love this story. Ann was superb and Ken crying scene is just so heartbreaking. the R scene is a little bit too many compared to any other slap kiss lakorn.

rating : 5/5


2) Jam Loey Ruk (Prisoner of love)--------(R scene)

whoever watch sawan biang for sure must watch JLR. this two lakorn are always being compared by fans. some even said that JLR is better than SB. well, if u ask me, i prefer SB more even though JLR is also an awesome lakorn. 

cast : Aum Atichart & Aff Taksaorn (A team)
eps : 14 
my opinion: as much as KA team rocks, the A team also has their own charm. however, i have to warn u guys of Aff/ Soraya (the heroin) 'scream' through out this whole lakorn. her scream might annoyed u a little bit (a lot actually) if u guys are not used to it. i have to mute most of her scene in order for me to watch it without the feeling of wanting to shut her up.but other than that the story was amazing. however, i dont like the fact that the n'ek forgive the p'ek way too easy. but of course, for me the hero is not as evil as Ken in SB. But he's still mean.
rating: 5/5



3) Tang Parn Kammathep ( Cupid Pathway)-------(R scene)

this drama is like the mash up of SB & JLR. u'll get it once u saw it

cast : Andrew & Janie 
eps: 16 
my opinion: This is the first Andrew drama that i watched. he really is a good actor and he act way too natural that sometime i think he's just being himself. his smile is infectious (*melts). i like his chemistry with Janie even thought it is not as superb as KA & A team chemistry.
rating : 4/5

* there is a 2015 remake of this drama but i havent watch it yet as it is not fully subbed

4) Roy Leh Sanae Rai (100 trickery dangerous passion)---------
( R scene)

this is not exactly a revenge lakorn. but it contain R scene and contain a lot of slap kiss scene towards the end. but on a second thought, the n'ek did seek revenge on the p'ek for tricking her.
this lakorn has 2 version, the 2002 and 2014 remake. there is slight change in the ending of 2014 version.

-2002 version-
cast: Tik & Aom Phiyada
ep: 15
rating: 3/5

-2014 version-
cast : DJ Push & Lily
eps: 14
rating: 4/5

my opinion: both version is nice. at first, i thought it will be hard to remake this good drama as Aom and Tik did a very good job. however, i think they manage to make a remake that is up to standard mainly thank to DJ Push. I dont really like Lily as much as i like Aom. but i do think that DJ Push acting can be compared to Tik superb acting. the ending of the story changed a little bit and i honestly prefer the 2014 ending better.

2002

vs

2014


i think that's all for now. there's a lot more slap/kiss & revenge drama i watched. but this is among my favourite. i'll post more of them later. posting this make me wanna go and rewatched them back.

BTW, most of the drama that i post are old one, so dont expect a HD video. but trust me, these old lakorn are way better than most of the new one.

happy watching.

p/s: finish watching Fun Fueng. its a little bit boring and slow to me. so i skip a lot.

p/s2: waiting for new eps of DotS is killing me..

  2. JLR was my first and it got me into the whole thai dramas but SB is definitey my fave mainly because the whole cast was perfect.SB made me love Ken & Ann 2gether. With JLR only the leads were watchable.
