Jao Sao Prissana (1999)

rape is not romance.

Jao Sao Prissana and its male lead character, was old the day it finished filming. But, a drama-teaching moment in the depths of apathy, that can be found in a male lead personality. The male lead is nothing, if not apathetic and momma's boy. The male lead doesn't care who he marries, because, there is a hostess bar waiting for him somewhere. Or, how many, illegal as that might be, as long as mom says to. Marrying his step-cousin, was like watching paint dry. Yes, that apathy was maddening. If an emotion crossed his face that I believed, those rape scenes wouldn't have made me confused, but angry. Confused, in what(?) just happened, with a rewind to confirm. There was no reason for the male lead to rape the female lead (twice), nothing. But, then laying all the sins of this plot on the female lead was just as cringey. 'Rape culture', doesn't belong in any story, much less this one. The underlining revenge plot without a rape, would be worth a remake. But still; Rape is not romance, and does not belong in the romance genre. Avoid.

Quite shallow

-- Story --
The base story was cliché, but that wasn't the biggest problem here. The writing was pretty terrible in this one. Everything was illogical, and the characters did things without any apparent reason, just to move the story forward. And let's not talk about how immoral every character was- there's no point. Instead, I will mention how one dimensional they were. There were the bad ones and the good ones- as I said, one could argue about our "good characters", but never mind that.

--Acting--
I think the cast didn't do such a bad job, but keep in mind it's a lakorn. My favourite was probably the little girl, she managed to express the emotions believably, and that's quite rare with a child. Anne also pulled off the role decently, despite its one-dimensionality.

--Music--
I can't really say anything about music, because I don't remember much about it. Let's just say, don't watch it looking for nice melodies or songs.

--Rewatch value--
I don't think I'd ever rewatch this one, because once you get to know all those "secrets", there remains no exciting mystery, if there ever was. As I said, the characters were shallow, so you won't get to understand any new things by rewatching it.

--Overall--
If you like Anne, or another actor here, you might like this show. Just drop your brain out the window beforehand.
The same goes if you like aggressive male leads, I guess.
If you like watching shows ironically, I wouldn't recommend it. There were no over-the-top nonsense that you could really laugh about, just plain shallowness and immorality.

disclaimer : i saw it in youtube in fast forward mode their is only 10 episodes (i think which is also a edited version of 17 episodes) and quality is not in term of HQ . so my review is completely not genuine cause i saw it as per my perspective and convenience. so its truly my opinion if it can help you i'll be very glad otherwise watch it at your own risk thanks

this is the first drama of ANNE which i liked otherwise she is on my blacklist here she is really energetic, gorgeous, nailed the screen, her acting is so natural in flow, also NOK deserve appreciation he equally share same skill to charm i must say their chemistry is really nice and the 2nd ML also need attention he done nice job somehow i don't like his hair style and about the other actors i dont want to talk about they are really shit/garbage

hey i forgot the child artist she is a great actor

story : its nothing new that you have not saw in any drama , it revenge salp kiss old trick of lakorn

flaws : it weird how actors change their emotion suddenly they have no hold in emotions ex: FL's sister blaming ML's mother in last epi then suddenly start blaming herself without reason if she said it i'm not convinced

suggestion: in fast forward mode only one time watchable for ANNE & NOK .
