The Legend of Hao Lan (2019) is a Historical Cdrama about a girl named Li Hao Lan/Zhao Ji(Wu Jin Yan) who gets forced out of her home and sold as a slave to Lu Bu Wei(Nie Yuan) who sees her.

Overall I loved the first half of this Cdrama, but towards the end, it got a bit weird and complicated, other than that I enjoyed the drama and Wu Jin Yan played her role perfect I loved her in Story of Yanxi Palace other then that all the other actors did a good job as well.

I would recommend this Cdrama to anyone who likes Historical/romance.

SNACK-SIZED REVIEW FOR Thong Ake Mor Yah Tah Chaloang (2019) MINOR SPOILERS!

April 14, 2019April 11, 2019 Santoryouu

Thong Ake Mor Yah Tah Chaloang (2019) is a Historical lakorn about a boy named Thong Ake(Mario Maurer) who wants to be a traditional doctor he also studies ancient Thai medicine, and he lives with his grandfather because his parents were dead because of an illness when he was a kid.

Thong Ake, later on, gets involved with a girl named Chaba(Kimberley Anne Woltemas) she is not your typical girl she likes to fight and is good at fighting with swords, when these two meet they bicker a lot but later on Chaba asks Thong Ake to teach her how to become a traditional doctor.

Overall this is one of the best Asian dramas I have watched in 2019, Mario Maurer and Kimberley Anne Woltemas made this drama funny also they had some of the best chemistry together I have seen, other then that all the side characters were good too.

The storyline was good but could have been a bit better, but that’s just me being picky.

I would recommend anyone was this Lakorn who likes Romance/historical/Comedy with two main leads with some of the best Chemistry together I have seen.

SNACK-SIZED REVIEW FOR Lost in 1949 (2018) MINOR SPOILERS!

April 10, 2019April 10, 2019 Santoryouu

Lost in 1949 (2018) is a historical cdrama from 1949 about a girl named Huang Li Wen(Wan Qian) who returns home to Shanghai after her husband and his comrade dies, she ends up working as an agent for the Communists.

She also meets two twin brothers named Qiao Zhi Cai|Qiao Li Jie(Chen Kun) the street smart Qiao Zhi Cai keeps butting heads with her along the way.

Overall this is an excellent historical drama I enjoyed all the storylines. Also, I think Chen Kun did a fantastic job acting two different characters in this cdrama, other than that I think the ending could have been a bit better, but the rest of the drama was good.

I would recommend anyone who likes Historical/Action with a bit of romance also if you like dramas from the early 1900s.

SNACK-SIZED REVIEW FOR Prissana (2000) MINOR SPOILERS!

February 28, 2019 Santoryouu

Prissana (2000) is a Historical Lakorn based in 1938 about a Girl named Prissana Suthakul(Rogers Taya) who has lived almost all her life in America with her uncle.

When she comes back to Thailand to live with her two sisters and mother, she will attract a lot of guys because of how she dresses differently than what other girls in Thailand do at the time.

Overall this drama was fantastic the main character Prissana Suthakul(Rogers Taya) was the main reason I enjoyed this Lakorn as much as I did, but also the storyline was excellent, all the other characters also made this Lakorn good.

And the main Storyline between the two main leads Prissana Suthakul(Rogers Taya) and Taan Chai Puthpreecha(Pholdee Jesdaporn) which started as a hateful relationship but slowly built into a beautiful romance Story.

I would recommend this Lakorn to anyone who likes early 1900 historical dramas or a Lakorn with many good romance storylines.
