I LOVE IT
This is my first Thai drama and it's so good? As i am non-Thai, this is seriously a first hand experience for me on Thai's tradition and history! While it is tricky to keep historical dramas informative yet intriguing, i think this drama has done a great job???
As the title depicts, Love Destiny, i knew it will be a romance based one. But the story was very smart as it include time travel of the FL to the past because of the love destiny she had with the ML. And this time travel itself include karmic/ reincarnation elements which i find very interesting but at the same time hard to execute in dramas. I also liked that they had touches of chants/ mantras which may be a taboo / limited in shows (or maybe they are common just that i am not aware). Because FL is from the future, her behavior and way of speaking itself provided a lot of comic relief. And while i may not get some jokes due to the different language/dialect used, i am glad the sites i watched from provided some explanation along with their subs. Aesthetics wise, i am so in awe because i never knew how Thais dressed in the past. So pretty ! And of course the food and way of life was interesting to see. Especially how they explained they way they bathed, and eat and even pooping and periods !!! Because i was actually really curious in all these as well and they were all explained!
Acting wise, i think everyone did a great job? I don't need to say much about the chemistry between the leads because it's so perfect despite limited skinship (because this is a historical drama). I part i find a bit cliche is the endless time the FL trips and falls into the ML's arm. The maids were also damn funny? Especially Prik ! Yaem and Phin, i was so touched by them as well? They were so loyal servants.The political history itself is very interesting, maybe because i never knew?I think it was very well executed as the show balanced the romance and political aspect out rather well. I am also impressed that while the show remains funny, their emotional scenes itself were very touching? And also, maybe because of the karmic aspects + mantras and stuff, the people weren't surprised with FL having a different soul in the body. I think this is all possible because everything is well planned out.
Anyways, i really enjoyed it and don't mind watching for the laughs :) i heard there will be a Season 2 focusing on their kids, i guess Phor Rit since Det handed him some sealed box (?) and we had a glimpse of a grown up Rit being Det. So , i guess the release won't be so soon but til then ^^
