Leh Ruk Bussaba (2018)

Um lakorn mais ou menos

Comecei a minha saga de assitir lakorn depois de ver Hak Lay, My Lady e gostar muito. Tinha parado de assitir os dramas tailandeses porque achava as histórias muito tóxicas e como gostei de Hak Lay, My Lady recente, decidi dar outra chance pras histórias tailandesas.
Leh Ruk Bussaba me chamou a atenção por conta da história se passar no interior (é um novo gênero que comecei a gostar e que nos dramas tailandeses tem muito) e gostei e consegui assitir inteiro sem dropar (o que é muito raro pra mim hoje em dia) pulei algumas cenas porque acho os episódios muito longos mas num geral eu gostei.
Os personagens chega a dar um pouco de raiva em determinado momento (principalmente o mocinho) pois você não conhece entender o que de fato eles querem ou se gostavam-se de verdade um do outro. Isso me irritou de fato, mas aguentei pois achava a química dos dois muito boa, fora o fato dos personagens terem uma relação mais natural (algumas ações e cenas dos dois eram tão naturais que pareciam reais). Outro fator que eu gostei bastante é a amizade que os irmão possuíam, cheguei a até pensar que teria uma rivalidade ou ódio do irmão mais velho pelo mais novo pois um estava noivo da mulher que o outro amava (fora que eles eram irmãos por parte de mãe e somente o mais novo era de fato o herdeiro da vinha) mas pra minha grande surpresas foi a relação mais fofa do mundo.
A coisa que realmente quebrou a minha expectativa e deixou o drama capenga pra mim no finalzinho (penúltimo episódio) foi a volta da ex do protagonista. A história não precisava disso e já tinha uma cena dramática por vim visto que a Bussaba ia descobrir a real indentidade do protagonista e que ele estava mentindo pra ele, então não era necessário mais uma carga dramática.
Isso brocou totalmente pra mim e pulei quase todo o final pra não passar raiva.
No geral foi um drama bom até aí

I watch this lakorn basically because of the story (as written before) but its entirely different. Still, I decide to continue since I found it a lot more interesting.

I do rewrite my own summary (as stated above) Thank you admins for approving it. I made it as simple as I can, lol...

Here are some other some pointers to know: <<>>
1. Din is the real heir since his older brother is just a stepson of his father. He was also engage to a childhood friend which btw loved by his older brother.
2. Bussaba's reasons in trying to seduce Puwadol was not only beacuse he is rich, but because he is also a true gentleman & really kind.
3. Din's father character is really annoying & hateful but he turn around & became Mr. Nice guy in the last few episodes, lol
4. Bussaba's ex & his current Gf are the enemies that are working with older brother birth father. He seek revenge to Din's father because her wife left him.

I love the cast & their acting. The main leads have good chemistry. I love the bromance between two step brothers, who treat each other kindly. At first, I though the older brother will be the villain but, OMG he is so nice. I don't mind his age, I think he deliver his portrayal of the character nicely.

Overall, I love this lakorn. It exceed my expectation. Love every minute of it.
I might rewatch it in the future.
Rating: Perfect 10

Just finished watching this one. It's a fun one.

STORY: Pretty simplistic. Evil birth father tries to destroy his rival's farm and everyone gets shot or beaten up in the process. The usual lakorn unlikelihood. The way lakorns make it sound, farming must be the most exciting job on Earth! XD The love story between the leads was very funny and sweet. No nang rai either, which is always a plus.

ACTING/CAST: Personally, I'm still not totally sold on Mike. He did a good job overall, but sometimes his acting seemed to waver, he got a little stiff and unsure of himself. At first I found Peak annoying, but she grew on me.
WHY DID THEY CAST A 50-YEAR-OLD GUY AS THE SECOND LEAD??? Not that I didn't like him or his character, but they were trying to pass him off as 35 or so. Honey. Anyone with eyes can see there's no way in HECK that guy is 35. To be fair, I think his acting was some of the best in the drama. Bussaba's ex's girlfriend was over-the-top, but so are all lakorn villains.

MUSIC: Cute. I especially liked the main track sung by Mike. That is, until he made a "music video" and sent it to Bussaba to tell her how he feels. It was so corny I almost wretched.

REWATCH VALUE: Might come back to this one in a year or so. I enjoyed watching it the first time, I think a second time through would be worth it just to watch Din and Bussaba fall in love again.

Since there were so few reviews and I am currently in lockdown. I thought I would share my thoughts after a few weeks of bingeing and catching up on the last few years of Thai drama's.

STORY:

it's a light hearted romance without the emotional rollercoaster that some lakorns seem to love putting the audience through. I won't write a synopsis as the official MDL synopsis is perfectly fine but I treated this lakorns as a rest from the sometimes emotional pulling extremes of some other lakorns.

ACTING/CAST:

Peak did grow on me as Bussaba; however her character portrayal did not make much sense with her backstory. This is a girl who was introduced to the audience working at an event, had graduated with honours/distinction and who came from a humble rural background. So she should be pretty grounded and understand the rural lifestyle, yet her character goes to work in a Vineyard dressed like a hi-so on her very first day and for the first few episodes her character comes across as very childish. I won't blame Peak for that as it was most likely the script. I will say though; whoever styled her hair in the first 3-4 episodes with that ridiculous side ponytail needs to be retrained again.

Michael who played Din was not my favourite if I'm honest, he had a hard time controlling his facial expressions when trying to be comedic. His eyebrows also seem to somehow have a life of their own and would just bob up and down in some scenes. While this might be just a personal mannerism of his, it was pretty distracting and my minimum expectations for an actor would be some facial control.

Both actors who played Pu and Pokhin did an acceptable job but I did think that they were miscast. I personally think that if they swapped roles, the drama would have improved in quality.

My favourite was Sariya; pretty, good acting and her character was normal without going into the nang'rai zone . Made me search for more of her drama's. Both mothers on both sides were great and supportive even if their roles were minor.

Comedic side characters seemed a bit inexperienced and not as deft in their roles.

MUSIC

Generic elevator music mostly

REWATCH

Probably not, there wasn't enough chemistry between the main leads to really bring me back to view my favourite moments.

PET PEEVE

One of the things that made me a bit annoyed was the camera work. In some scenes where the characters onscreen are having a conversation, the camera switches from action to reaction again and again. So in some very short conversations the camera shots flips back and forward pretty quickly to a dizzying level.

That's it, I didn't hate the drama but I didn't live it. It was definitely a daytime show with all the implied quality that goes into making one.

If you are looking for a force /slap kiss, rape scene, abusive Male lead, repetitive kidnapping and gun shooting, jealousy , revenge and horrible ex girlfriends...then this Lakorn is not for you????

First the Male lead looks similar to PIOLO PASCUAL (filipino actor) but Piolo is more Good looking and very good actor.
The Male lead character he portrays it very well, his gentle, kind but cheeky????
The Female lead is pretty and her tears flow effortlessly???? she is really good
KISS- hmm its more natural
Storyline is good
The deceiving act went a bit draggy it could have been done by episode 13.
So the endjng can be more satisfying but all and all it was a good Lakorn.
Surely I will watch it again ????

enjoyable rom-com though over the top

Really nice show... excellent actors, and new faces too! All very natural, and the ML shows a natural gift for comedy. Still the drama could've been cut shorter. You dont only get main couple, second couple, bust also third couple... and their parents too! And all the three couples have to fight parents' opposition! The scenery is pleasing to the eyes, and so are the actors/actresses - and i mean the entire cast. I didnt feel much like fast-forwarding, despite the unnecessary side plots. The conflict was good enough to keep it going.
Note: The fashion style of the FL is totally crazy... really bad choice of the lakorn's stylist. She always wears high heels and shorts in the field (!) and poses like a high-so, changing a lot of fashionable clothes, despite the average background. The ML advertises some nice checked shirts, but most of episodes he is yummy in his white tank top.
One big NO for me: the funny counterpart is ensured by the old spinster, the young retarded worker with his friend and the poor parents of the FL. Sorry but NO! Even if it's just for fun and it's an old trope, i cannot laugh at those! One or too laughing stock is ok, but too much is too much.
Would rewatch some parts only...

Peak Pattarasaya portrays an attractive, yet likeable girl. It's best shown her very first scene when she arrives at her new job. While she steps out the car in her cute dress and super long heels, as soon as she hears about the broken dam, she changes immediatelly and starts helping along with the workers, despite being hired as "manager".

So, we have likeable girl. Problem is with the boy. Not that I'd really have a problem with him, that way I would not watch at all. But, Michael Pattaradet is not a dream guy for me and his character soon establishes some sort of bickering/annoying/well meaning brother rapport with nang'ek, though he "secretly" likes her and tries to keep her from the other guy.

Watching on, I got further lost in the story, it didn't make much sense, but it's fair to say I didn't pay it much attention, to be honest. I think there was a family who owned a vineyard, there were 3 siblings or something. One of them was a girl. The girl liked one of the workers, which was frowned upon by her elders, I don't know what was his deal if he was secretly rich but I didn't really care because I don't like Euro. Then there were 2 guys, younger one potrayed by Michael Pattaradet and older one by Kelly. Each of them liked different girl so for once they weren't rivals but the elders kept pushing each of them to date the girl the other one liked, and vice versa. For a reason I didn't comprehend. Michael Pattaradet's guy spends a drunken night with the girl he likes but doesn't do anything with her but lets her believe he did the next morning. For a reason I didn't understand, he doesn't let her clear her misunderstanding, despite seeing that she is devastated. They then cleared it later gradually but each episode I cared less and less about what was going on, also I wasn't really into any of the 3 guys.

Dropped halfway episode 9, because I was already skipping scenes and then I noticed I didn't mind to skip practically all of them.
