It’s a 5 part in 1 horror flick, starring “Dan” Worawech Danuwong, Marsha Wattanapanich, Nicole Theriault, 16 year old Charlie Trairat, and “Kao” Jirayu Laoonmanee, child actor from Rita and Rome’s lakorn “Gae Roy Ruk (Trace of Love)”. Three well-loved Thai singers and 2 talented child stars, good move. Got me interested.
“5 Junctions (5แพร่ง, 5 Praeng, Phobia 2)” will be release nationwide on September 9, 2009 (09-09-09).
Interesting, “Mongkut Saeng Jan (The Moonlight Crown)” fitting pictures. Hm. I’m going to be really mean. The clothes look cheap.
“Mongkut Saeng Jan (The Moonlight Crown)” is produced by Pau Jing Jong productions and directed by Ah’too. It’s some sort of patriotic themed lakorn about love and love for your country.
Our Pra’nangs Sirita Jensen and Andrew Gregson. Minus the stupid looking Wonder Woman golden tiara, she looks fine.
Andrew is playing a guy named Teetayu and Rita is Princess Sisira.
This series is just too hilarious. Though she has the upper hand and knows his true identity, his strong personality remains and refuses to believe what he is told.
At every turn, he contradicts her making her look bad in front of her workers.
He is ordered to just pick the corn, he pulls up the whole stalk.
During lunch, instead of eating food prepared for the workers, he steals her food.
He is loved by the female workers and uses it to his advantage.
When he should be sleeping, he has a alcoholic jam session with the other workers.
As punishment for getting drunk the previous night, he is ordered to manually plow acres of land. Instead of doing it himself, he uses his charm to recruit female workers to do it for him.
Though he suffering from amnesia, his conceited personality remains and he continues to insult her. At one point, he called her “Man’s best friend” and called Nom (Dum’s transgender friend) a “two-footed” animal , or in other words “Sashquash”.
I’m glad for the ending, they gave us something different–a tragic ending with a light of hope. It caters to both tragic ending and happy ending fans. No one died, but it is still a tragic ending because our nang’ek is mentally sidelined; she has lost her memory and her mental comprehension. Even to the end, she could not comprehend that she had a child and a loving husband. Pretty Sad, tissues please! Though Aoey never gain her mental comprehension by the end, I would like to think that eventually she did.
In conclusion it was an experience to watch “Jai Rao”, a well-acted/ Korean-style melodrama series that I will never watch again.
Part 2 is coming later when I actually finish watching it. I scanned through it and watched the ending. Read the rest of this entry »
