KAO NOPPAKAO as SARUJ and PP PUNPREEDEE as CHEEWAN

DHEVAPROM: PONCHEEWAN (2024) | 1.04

[rinbylin]

jokingly and also non-jokingly, the only tewaprom sequel I would be remotely interested in seeing (but also hope to never see) is saruj and cheewan's mid-life divorce but just ends up staying together because their lives and social circles severely overlap since they were kids growing up in the same big family. lol

groundbreaking for one of the most romcom franchises to ever romcom to conclude with casual discussions between the leads about their possible divorce and going with yeah shrugs if we divorce then so be it as long as we've tried our best. takes all the guts for that lol. and based on the latter part of their relationship's development in the show, I can absolutely see that's where they'll head towards ngl. I don't think saruj ever addressed the root problem of cheewan's inferiority complex and her reservations of being with him, and the writers instead make up some other strawman problem to deal with? lol. the dining scene with his parents was a disappointment - he never guided her to integrate into her world and just let her embarrass herself. even though the show seems to want to express that it's ok for her to be herself even in his world, the hell we know it's never really the case with jutathep's daughter-in-laws (but we don't talk about it and never will). she wanted to be presentable to the people in the palace but he never helped her, while she did everything to help him back at her home.

s1 never even really had issues of half-baked executions even when it's an instalment that's just plain boring and bad. the goal of every fem lead in the series is to learn to integrate into the family (yucks I know. this was 20th century seasia). sometimes it's a real problem that the show addresses and takes time to illustrate how it's overcome (piangkwan, krongkaew), and sometimes it turns out to not even be a problem (soifah, rasa), and one time there has never been a problem to begin with (maprang). for cheewan, they just completely glossed over it. yeah it's an old problem but we do still need to address it if it's presented as a problem in the story. but also cheewan's case is unique because in name she's like prang but in reality more like kwan and kaew. she has the same problem as what chai ruj was facing except now it's gender reversed - which makes for a thematic connection as a sequel but ironically it's also what makes it not as meaningful as chai ruj and rasa's. and when it comes to the whole display of "saruj is capable of integrating into cheewan's rural lifestyle" is basically nothing as compared to chai lek and soifah's story. the good thing about s2 (poncheewan) is i can see shades of s1 in it but conversely also, all s2 tries to do seems like an inferior shadow of the best parts of s1. rip

in all seriousness, I think the divorce conversation would be perfectly cool in another show and I love it. but also the jutathep series is literally the True Love is Real and Everlasting story -- that being said, it's not all fluff. it just has a very positive, proactive outlook in the idea of love. true love is worth waiting. true love is worth the hard work. speaking as number 1 dysfunctional relationships/BE enjoyer, the series is one of the few things in life I indulge in as an optimistic fairytale. for every pairing in s1, regardless my personal feelings for each of them, I could believe they'll love and grow with each other to the end of their lives. but the fact that poncheewan seems to have left a small crack in that fairytale perhaps is what invoked the wrath of many people. which basically sucks extra bad for me bc intellectually I get the disappointment but I also just have such a soft spot for poncheewan's premise(/tropes) despite its execution.

BALL JITPANU DHEVAPROM: LAORCHAN (2024)

[femslashedtires]

incredible crazy things happening in politics every single day, but they keep getting overshadowed (in my mind) by breaking mew suppasit news

Dhevaprom: Laorchan

  “Do you remember watching the Khun Chai series back in 2013? Well, I have some good news. Their sons have all grown up and have their own love stories. Back in the day, Grandma On wanted her grandsons to marry the Dhevaprom girls, but they all fell in love with different girls, so she couldn’t accomplish her goals. In this series, her great-grandsons will be accomplishing her goals.” 

  “The first installment starts with ‘Dhevaprom: Laorchan’, starring Gina Yeena Salas. You’ll recognize her from the lakorn with James Ji in ‘The Deadly Affair’. It also stars Gulf Kanawut Traipipattanapong, whom I’m not familiar with. This is the first time I’ve watched his work.”

“So, the plot is about Laorchan, who is a Dhevaprom, but she doesn’t know it yet. She returns from France and starts working for ‘Phu’ Phuthanet Juthathep. Her aim is to steal the necklace (Atchanajakkra), which has a blue sapphire, in order to clear her family name.”

"Laorchan starts working as a secretary for the extremely punctual, perfectionist, and strict ‘Phu’ Phuthanet Juthathep. She begins her job with Phu with the intention of stealing the Atchanajakkra (Blue Sapphire necklace).

 This lakorn mostly takes place in the forest, and the forest scenes are lengthy. There was zero chemistry between the couple. However, I was more interested in the romance of the other couples, such as Satarassamee Phukhamwong / ‘Jao’ (Prince) & Veena Mahannop / Veena Wongsawan (bodyguard of Prince), and ‘Kan’ Kanthika Juthathep (Laorchan’s sister) and Wachira Wongsawan [Major] (Kan’s boyfriend / fiancé). If there were different leads, the lakorn would have had a lot of potential.. 

  Time-wise, the lakorn is set in the 80s. There are a few things that need mentioning, particularly the wardrobe department. Yes, Phu’s outfits match the fashion of the 80s (well, I was just a child in the 80s so I don’t remember much, but luckily we have search engines), but they also remind me of those baggy suits from the 70s. Women’s outfits are more in line with the 80s, apart from Gina’s high heels with red bottoms. Those shoes were not even a thing in the 80s." 

  Please keep in mind that there is not much romance in this lakorn. Basically, I found it boring. I didn’t really enjoy Gulf’s acting, although Gina has improved her acting, she still has a long way to go. Also, the parents from the original series are replaced with actors who are more age-appropriate to be the parents of 20-30 year old offsprings.

  You can directly skip this part and move into ‘Dhevaprom: Kwanruetai’, which is the second installment of the series. It’s the story of a military doctor, who is the son of Khun Chai Phutthiphat (James Ji). He falls in love with a country girl who dresses up as a tomboy because her mother puts pressure on her. 

 She earns her money by selling food to the doctors and nurses in the hospital. They even share an accidental first kiss at the end of Episode 1. The casting directors did a good job here, as the actor has a baby face. With the haircut and glasses, he resembles Khun Chai Phutthiphat (James Ji’s character in the prequel, his father’s story). 

  So far, we have completed ‘Dhevaprom: Laorchan’, ‘Dhevaprom: Kwanruetai’, and we have three episodes of ‘Dhevaprom: Jaipisut’. We also have two more installments, ‘Dhevaprom: Phon Cheewan’ and ‘Dhevaprom: Dujapsorn’. From the trailers, I can see that ‘Dhevaprom: Phon Cheewan’ is going to be nice. The plot is similar to ‘Rak Rae’. ‘Rak Rae’ was filmed in Austria, while ‘Dhevaprom: Phon Cheewan’ was filmed in Switzerland (apart from the secret pregnancy, control freak male lead, and crazy aunt).

RANT #1: SMITH ♡ DENISE FINALLY!

I'm so glad I opened MyDramaList today! if I hadn't, I wouldn't have known that Smith and Denise have a lakorn together this year!! I was pretty devastated that Denise was in อีบัวกับไอ้ขวัญ (E Bua kap Ai Kwan) with other male actor— without knowing this EXISTED! ☆(≧▽≦)☆

ผู้บ่าวสุดซ่าส์กะอีหล่าขาซิ่ง Swag Couple

I have no idea what the story is about, but I'm already ready to commit! I really wish I had the skills to make gifs so I could spam them here T T

Prince Satta ♡ Veena - ดวงใจเทวพรหม: ลออจันทร์ (Duangjai Dhevaprom: Laorchan)

I had never seen them in any ch3 lakorn before—it was only through their appearance in Laorchan that I came to know them as ch3 actors. Smith was so princey in that role—perfectly suited to play Prince Satta, the Crown Prince of Wiang Phu Kam. Veena was part of the kingdom’s army or security forces, along with her brother.

They were childhood friends, and I believe they caught feelings along the way hehehe. They didn’t have much on-screen romance, but when they did, it melted right off the screen. Soooo satisfying to watch! I'm on cloud nine knowing they finally have a lakorn together—YEAY!! My very own Thai Disney Prince and Princess! >3<

MIKE PANITAN as "CHAT" CHATKLAO JUTHATHEP

DHEVAPROM: KWANRUETAI (2024) | 1.01

[rinbylin]

on jutathep nostalgia - and unfortunately, somewhat of a h8r - mode here...

the way this first episode was a complete trainwreck, for me, with only the impact temporarily cushioned at the end by the rare gathering of the gen 1 and 2 boys in the same picture..tragic 😔😔 whoever said saruj turned into a red flag should apologise to poncheewan bc why does asira jutathep look like a flashing red alarm here - to me... chai yai and prang take your son back...

he may be chai yai's son but if anyone in gen 1 came closest to petch's behaviour in ep 1, it would probably be chai pat. for the same reasons, I couldn't quite stand chai pat as a romcom ml too (lovable as a brother though) - but he's also so beloved by the fandom. whenever I recall that jutathep catered to so many different flavours and you get to see how wildly diverse people's tastes are (no matter the objective ranking of each instalment, there will always be a pairing that someone claim favourites over)... I'm constantly humbled... this might be something some people are into but it's just so extremely super not for me.

on the more objective front - it might just be me being unrealistic, but I do go into tewaprom expecting there to be some sense of continuity thematically or even just trope-wise from jutathep - well, as sequels should (hah!)... especially knowing full well it was possible with poncheewan. while i think it's relatively hard to fuck up chai ruj and rasa's child bc their characters are distinctive but relatively normative, I can still see parts in saruj that is only possible owing to him being chai ruj and rasa's son. like, saruj's character was substantially shaped by chai ruj and rasa's absence at home, unlike his cousins who are always seen at home spending time with their parents. and we know that played a part in his love story later on too. not only did saruj follow after his dad's footstep in his career, he inherited his mum's courage in holding onto the person he loves. chai ruj and rasa's love story started as childhood playmates reunited in a foreign country many years later and then torn apart by social class difference - which is similarly also reflected in poncheewan. it's an instalment heavily couched in the big family context that the entire series is premised on. I appreciated poncheewan for calling back to some of the essence of the original series even if it wasn't fully done well.

I haven't seen the other 4 instalments in their entirety but -- on the contrary, when chai lek and soifah's domestic life with their children look indistinguishable from chai yai and prang's domestic life with their children... you know it's just not gonna hit home. we don't talk about soifah's "domestication" by the end of the jutathep series, but the alienating effects have caught up in tewaprom. and -- a lot of these are my personal judgement of each instalment -- the impact of taratorn being a writing mishap also leaked into its sequel. chai yai's character being entirely centred on his role and identity as the eldest with the heaviest responsibilities was hardly incorporated and developed into his love story with prang - so that left me with nothing at all to work on petch's character. but I guess I'm asking too much... or am I??
