Meu Querido Donovan (2022)

Rom-Com only for Luke's fans

A romantic Lakorn with Luke Voyage in ML's role (star model) and 1 FL, a young kindergarden teacher with a complicated family, who agrees to become his manager to pay for the hospital fees for her ultra-protective, rigid and authoritarian grandfather.

The acting is like in most lakorns, a little overplayed, compensated by the highlighting of Luke Voyage's visuals ( a lot and very hot ;). Some characters are not coherent at all : Jessica (one of the psychotics rivals) and the grandfather in particular, and the unbearable ML2, love rival and neighbor (except in the last 2 episodes).

BUT ABOVE ALL, the story is not well writen :
- View of romantic and sexual relationships, quite murky (drugs, harassment, assault, etc.) including when guys are the victims (which is good representation, but rarer IRL;)
- anti-foreigners racism in Thailand
- Very distorted vision of Western countries (poverty, racism, illegal boxing matches, etc.)
- Vision that does not seem credible to me either of the modeling world (party people, sneaky, very dependent on a few influential people, etc.).
- the inevitable break up "to protect you" annoys me especially when it doesn't make sense, like here.
- the OST are too "lakorn" for me....

=> Series to watch only for the very hot Luke's visuals and the chemistry within the CL despite the multiple plotholes and flaws.

Lakorn romantique avec Luke Voyage en ML (mannequin vedette) et 1 FL, jeune enseignante avec famille compliquée, qui accepte de devenir son manager pour payer les soins de son grand-père, ultra-protecteur, rigide et autoritaire.
Acting un peu surjoué, TB mise en valeur des visuels de Luke Voyage, et un ML2, love rival et voisin, insupportable(sauf dans les 2 derniers épisodes).
MAIS SURTOUT :
- Vue des visées amoureuses et sexuelles, assez glauque (drogue, harcèlement, etc.) y compris vis à vis des mecs (ce qui est bien, mais rare ;)
- racisme anti-étrangers en Thaïlande
- Vision des pays occidentaux très déformée (misère, racisme, matches de boxe illégaux, etc.)
- Vision qui ne me semble pas crédible non plus du milieu du mannequinat (fêtards, sournois, très dépendant de quelques personnes influentes, etc.).
- certains personnages ne sont pas cohérents du tout : Jessica et le grand-père en particulier.
- l'inévitable break up pour te protéger m'agace surtout quand il n'apas de sens comme ici.

=> A voir pour les visuels très hot de Luke et l'alchimie au sein du CL malgré les multiples plotholes et flaws.

Dream relationship

I honestly liked this drama so much as far as I've watched. Pam is a very relatable character with everything, i love how she maybe insecure but she isn't extremely shy like other main characters, and how she opens up. As for Dino, he is my dream guy and i love how he just listens whenever Pam talks but i also love how he tries to cheer her up but isn't begging her or throwing himself at her, and i love his playful personality. Even Jessica which only has a few scenes is hilarious to me. They should definitely let my man Dino rest for a second with all these girls throwing themselves at him like that.

Enjoyable ....

I did really like this drama quite a bit ... Pam was relatable and donovan was hot !!!

Although donovan came across as hot mess ... he was really genuine in his feelings with pam you could see and feel the chemistry between them ... I love how pam handled situations, although i did a get a little frustrated when she always thought about the people around her and never about herself first ... I do respect elders views but they also need to respect boundaries and allow children to grow and make they own.

Jessica and Miss Da were a bit annoying and honestly it really showed how people with power and money can get away with everything... I was super happy when she had a nose broken and wanted to smash the screen when she returned... as for jessica she played her part well, in the sense of a being a really selfish bitch and always thinking of herself even though she always helps out in situation its never genuine there is always a catch with it ...

Overall: this drama was really sweet and kept you interested ... not to mention the hotness of DONOVAN

Luke and Namtarn characters look so cute together here. As much as I thought about slogging through this for them, there's the rub. I shouldn't have to feel like I'm "slogging" through watching something. Episode 1 was promising, if you could stand the two annoying women being catty and chasing after ML. Then episode 2 was just extremely slow and boring. I couldn't even finish it.

Great cast, camera work, photography, hair and makup team (Namtarn with the short curly hair and glasses is the prettiest I have seen her), but the storyline and execution is lacking.
