i want a highlights version of this #lakorn
Nearly gave up on #lakorn #ATaleOfYlangYlang at the mid point because it made a very abrupt transition I didn't get on with. Took a couple of days and decided to continue, but think of it as a different story. Am glad I did. It became something more ambitious and at times awkward but deeper and richer.
In the end, through all its movements - young love, discrimination and prejudice, the damage wealth and privilege brought to a family, it's ultimately about the dignity and strength of women.
Enjoying the #lakorn I'm watching so much I've started rationing it 1/3rd of the way through. Mmm.
It's one of those which dresses strong statements, in this case about prejudices, discrimination and sexism, in piles of tropes and a sweet love story.
#ATaleOfYlangYlang

you know you've been watching too much historical lakorn* when a time travel scenario into the past hardly counts as fantasy

(there is no such thing as too much historical #lakorn )
(see also anything supernatural. that's just normal)

Beautiful closing OST from #ThaiPBS historical fiction #lakorn From Chao Praya to Irawadee 💖

#EYDC2024 Day 22: a drama that deserves the hype

The title I watched in 2024 which most deserves hype was hyped by western viewers for the wrong reason. For all that western viewers were there for the gay romance, Khun Chaai is really a story about women struggling for agency in a time and place which didn't allow them much.

In other words, 80 years later it's still all about the men.

i really liked what they did with the alternate reality fairytale #lakorn 😊 one of the BEST why they can't be together and how they resolve its.

#EYDC2024 Day 16: best actress whose work I saw in 2024

Piyathida Mittiraroch, Li in Khun Chaai (To Sir, with Love)

Matriarch in complicated family politics #lakorn and a world which denies women agency except through their associations with men.
