A Classic Lakorn

Pin Anong is a beautiful lakorn that encapsulates all the classic elements of lakorn. However, despite its charm, the series is not without its flaws. The story, while engaging, often feels drawn out and at times suffers from noticeable plot holes.

The narrative follows the journey of Pin Anong, affectionately known as P'Pin, who is portrayed as a somewhat inept and naive character for the majority of the series. Her character development is slow, taking about 16-18 episodes to show any significant growth, which is frustrating looking for a more dynamic protagonist. P'Pin's lack of basic common knowledge often leaves her vulnerable and seemingly helpless.

On the other hand, the male lead, P'Yai, is depicted as stubborn and unfocused. His playful demeanor, especially in the first half of the show, borders on irresponsibility and at times, he appears to be the worst of the worst. P'Yai’s interactions with P'Pin are inconsistent, often treating her without consideration, which adds to the frustration.

The main antagonist, P'Nai, is a character that should have faced justice much earlier in the series. The prolonged charade upheld by P'Yai in dealing with P'Nai feels forced and adds to the overall sense of the plot being unnecessarily extended.

The direction seems to falter with pacing issues, as the series could have effectively concluded around episode 16. Instead, it feels unnecessarily dragged out, which dilutes the impact of the story.

Pin Anong is a must-watch for fans of Thai dramas. Whether you are a longtime fan of lakorns or new to the genre, "Pin Anong" offers a rich and rewarding viewing experience.
