Luead Mungkorn: Krating (2015)

I'm not a mafia-genre lakorn fan.

So, I have watched only Lion, which I fast-forwarded almost all through, that did not touch me.

Then, I have watched Tiger, the light-in-the mood and romantic one, really watched it, but it did not touch me much, either.

Then, I watched the Bull and I agree the story is probably the most complex and romantic of the five. It would be almost perfect... I don't understand the need to fake kisses for the lead couple whose actors are both getting close to middle age (Cherry does not look as beautiful anymore, and even Ken Theeradeth, whom I love no matter if he's 20 or 40, has a MOUSTACHE in here (ugh).

Contrary to the other parts, this is the only one that really has the mafia atmosphere. I LOVE all 5 stories share the same title song in different versions (either way, the song is awesome). I just like this opening best, with the Bull Gang Leader making the horns over his head, LOL. And though it's got kinda ridiculous running-theme (no one killed here seems to actually die? oops, SPOILER*:), it has something that gives you the chills...
So no matter all the flaws, this was very powerful. It only feels kinda weird this is not the last story, as the the greatest antagonist dies* here, it all feels so heavy and final. But, still the 'Rhino' and 'Swan' to go... I doubt they can beat this.

Depressing lakorn

After reading some reviews on this drama which said it to be the best of the 4 stories, I watched it and found it to be so depressing. From the start to the end the FL was the most unhappiest person on earth and in 95% of the story she was crying tears. Not even in one episode was there any real happy moments with the hero. There was no chemistry between the leads nor could I see any love between them although they were supposed to be lovers. The story was filled with constant flashbacks into the past and repetitive which was so irritating and annoying. Storyline was nothing new the typical revenge seeking for their dead parents. The ending was worse. Didn't understand how the heroine survived after shooting herself and falling from 50 ft height into the river. The hero also didn't bother searching for her or her body after that. He just went back about his life. Then suddenly she appears one day from nowhere and the hero sees her and hugs her. No questions asked?. I just don't get it!. There was hardly any romance between the two.
