I've been craving a lakorn for a while. My choice - Oum Ruk, starring the legendary pairing of Ken and Anne.

They play a fashion photographer and a model respectively. They dislike each other intensely but end up in a drunken one-night stand anyway. All well and good, and both would prefer forgetting it ever happened, only she is pregnant! And the story goes from there.




I really loved Ken and Anne's chemistry in Sawan Biang (which was a drama which made me come closest to being OK with the insane 'fall for your rapist' trope many a lakorn seems to love. They just were so dysfunctional, I felt I could almost explain it away. Plus the chemistry and the fact that this was the sole lakorn which actually pointed out this was bad and made heroine put the dude through hell before she decided to trust him again. Not that it made it right or anything but I was almost sold. OK, I can't believe I just typed that - I feel dirty now. Maybe it was just not too bad in comparison to JLR which traumatized me forever and made anything else seem decent in comparison).

And this looks light and fun and rape-free. Plus, Anne is good at playing strong women and Ken is so ridiculously hot.

Have a MV:

Thai lakorns can sometimes get crazier than Yu Zheng's craziest dramas. With that said, some of them are quite good. My first lakorn was Kaew Tah Pee, and I loved it! Have you seen Gae Roy Rak? http://www.youtube.com/user/wishboniko#g/c/6DC00627616F54D4. Very cute and surprisingly very funny! Made me fall in love with the RTeam (Rita & Rome), especially with Rita. Have you also seen Dok Ruk Rim Tang? http://www.youtube.com/user/malie7778#g/c/5FD4B305AF41BD6C. I thought a talking dog sounded like a bad idea and the girl-pretending-to-be-a-boy plot was so cliche, but it's actually very funny and I ended up loving it.
