[CH3] Game Sanaeha (Lakorn Thai) : James Jirayu / Taew Natapohn

[PrincessKarina]

I was so psyched to watch this and then I accidentally read some posts complaining about the character of Nok and Taew's acting blah blah blah and that actually made me a bit cautious about this lakorn even though I love Lakorn Thai and their slap and kiss lakorns. Well, I should have trusted my instincts because I really love this lakorn, I think I love it even more than I love Kleun Cheewit, which I have been rewatching every couple of months since last year. If you thought James and Taew were cute in NDFD, multiply it by a hundred here. Their chemistry is fire here. Slap and kiss, baby, pra'nang as parents, this lakorn was made for me.

James has always been a cutie patootie to me and he's slowly developed into some sort of sexy p'ek over these years. He was super manly in Padiwarada but he's even more so in this lakorn. He still looks like a toddler but simultaneously he's an attractive man LOL. The scene where he tells Nok that he will make her relaxed on their wedding night, OMG his expression. Luckanai is such a likeable character, I just adore how dedicated he is to Nok and is always there to cheer her up and protect her. I love how he isn't afraid to tell her he loves her and he tells her so many times. Luckanai is the kind of p'ek you just want to root for; he's tragic, he's romantic and a good daddy, what more can you ask for? It's so strange to see such a baby faced actor play a father but his acting is so good and he plays such a good father that it's a conflicting sight to see LOL. James nailed his role here.

I relate to Nok, I'm pretty sure I would have reacted the same way she did because I'm an only child too. My grandma and mom are convinced that I am pretty much Muenchanok in real life LOL. Her behaviour is understandable and I didn't find her annoying but rather I felt for her. I love her scenes with her dad, especially the scene where she ate popcorn in bed with him, it's very sweet. I still found her endearing even though she's so stubborn and likes to provoke the p'ek. Good gravy I loved the scene where her heart is breaking and she goes to try to buy her father and husband from Khae. Taew has played a mother so many times that she's just a natural at this point. People hate Taew in bratty roles but her as Nok and as Namfon from Plerng Toranong have been my faves.

Chai and Tanya are so cute together, it would have been great if the parents got back together but I suppose this is a bit more realistic. I found it hilarious that she ended up with Wayt, I really didn't see that coming. Wi is a great character, she's such a good balance for a mom; she'll side with Nok and help her if it comes to guilt tripping Tawat but she's reasonable in trying to get Nok to see reason as well. I love how supportive Nok's parents are and how much they'll collaborate when it comes to Nok, divorced or not they put their daughter first. Though it did upset me to see that Tawat wouldn't walk for Nok but rather for Khae, I can totally understand why Nok was so upset. For a father to not want to heal himself for the sake of his daughter but will do it for the sake of a woman he's loved for only a year, that's just infuriating.

Lakorn Thai makes such good slap and kiss lakorns over the years, I have yet to be disappointed. Chudapa's directing has really improved and this is her best work to date. Her work here is almost better than my favourite, Aew Ampaiporn's work. There were so many good love scenes and the kissing scenes were superb. I love how elevator force kiss was so long and James really went for it, I appreciate how much he didn't hold back compared to other p'eks. In fact James really gave it his all in all the kisses rather than what he has done in the past. I like how they spent a whole episode on Nai and Nok being parents and didn't have it as just a 5 minute scene in the end. Nok's grovelling was well done. Truly the best lakorn from 2018 and this has definitely made it onto my top 10 list. This lakorn is pretty much flawless, I love how the leads are almost always together and there isn't too much focus on the other characters. I'm glad that Penny didn't cause that many issues for the leads, I was scared when Nok let her back into the house but luckily she really only did one bad thing and she was forgotten about until the end. 5/5 stars, I haven't loved a lakorn this much since Kleun Cheewit Wouldn't mind if these two get paired up again.

Beautifully written! Thanks for sharing! Yes we love JT!

Needed to work off a bit more JT obsession lol. Here's a short bit of fluff from their early teens.

Spoiler

Nai discovered Nok lying on her back underneath the orange tree in the luscious and well-maintained back yard.

“What are you looking at?” he asked when he reached her.

Nok spared a glance through the slits of her eyes at Nai. “Our orange tree.”

“Why?”

“Because I like it.”

Nai smiled at the simple pleasures she enjoyed. “I’ll look too.”

She sighed but made no objection. Nai stretched out near her, playing with blades of grass. After a few minutes, he peeked over at her. She remained determinedly relaxed.

“So cute. How are you?” Nai asked gently.

Nok frowned, annoyed by the disruption.

“Can you not fly away yet?”

She made no sound.

“I still want to talk to you.”

She tsked and turned to glare at Nai. “So bothersome. Do I look like I have wings?”

“I’m talking to khun nok (the birdie).”

“Do I look like I’m about to fly away? Nonsense.”

Nai grinned. “I’m talking to that bird up there.”

Nok looked to the spot above them where he was pointing at. There was a brown and red wren hopping about. She scoffed.

She pushed onto her feet and dusted herself off. “Go ahead and talk to your bird then. Crazy.”

“Khun Nok.”

“Don’t go around crying because your bird doesn’t respond to you,” she muttered.

“Khun Nok, I’m talking to you.” Nai laughed. She turned and scowl at him. He sat up and smiled at her.

“What are you looking at?” she demanded.

“You.”

“Why?”

“Because I like you.”

Nok considered his response, then crossed her arms, standing a little straighter. “Everyone likes me.”

Nai softly hummed in agreement.

Nok eyed him skeptically, then decided she didn’t need to leave her yard for any silly brat. She laid back down, snuggling her shoulder blades into the grass, and continued looking up at the full branches on the trees. Nai rested his head comfortably on his arms and continued looking at Nok.

Always love your writing and thank you for this. Needed to read something on Nok and Nai. Miss them desperately.

Aww, sweet thanks for sharing .

JiTaew withdrawal is strong.... made another FMV... this one with one of the songs James cover so it's his voice you are listening to. He is a really good singer. Added subs because the song is a beautiful song and matches my mood for JiTaew atm.

Ahh! Love this. I missed this how? Glad I went back and saw it. Thanks hun!

 

[lakornkiki]

Ahh! Love this. I missed this how? Glad I went back and saw it. Thanks hun!

Glad you like it. It's one of my fav JiTaew vids because I used Ji's cover song. I really really do love his voice.

 

[lakornkiki]

oh, and I made a sad lyrics vid too. I was down and sad because I haven't seen JiTaew for a while and went into dark depressed mode. It is a very sad break up song so considered yourselves warned.

Love this to bits!!! May I make a request? I would love to read a good hug/comfort fic. I was yearning for more in episode 5 when Nai got sick. Like he was so surprised when Nok suddenly started caring for him when she hated him all this while. And it breaks my heart to think that no one took care of him as affectionately after his mom left him. Poor guy can't even celebrate or bothers to remember his own birthday *cries* then suddenly Nok not only sees him, but cares for him too, and he was just staring at her with those big puppy eyes of his.

I haven't written a review for Game Sanaeha yet, but then i might just end up writing a thesis hahaha. Lakornthai is still posting Game Sanaeha clips /pics. It seems they are having withdrawal too

LakornThai is torturing me. hahahaha It makes me miss Nok and Nai so much more but I love seeing the posts too.

Can you help a few of us out with something? I think we need to make noise for JiTaew. Not sure what is the best way to do it or who to contact. Perhaps you can connect us with the Thai fan club or get some info as in is there a demand for a JiTaew reunion? or events? I am looking for influential persons that we can request this paring for lakorns at Ch.3 and events (their managers, brands, etc.) Any info would be great.

They are being too quiet for my liking (no couple events, no posts, no IG likes) and it's driving me crazy.

Taew is in China right now, so naturally, they can't be together *sweatdrop*. JiTaew Reunion would most likely be a commercial decision. It would be up to the Thai market to actually like both of them together and convince producers for a reunion of some sort. To get them to do a reunion for international market, then it has to be an international brand or international producer. I heard they're pretty hot in China. Right now it's Bella and Pope who are all over Bangkok.

But don't worry, they're still co-endorsers of AIS so there's that. And also, i would like to believe James and Taew have developed a strong friendship so whenever there is a ch3 event, these two will surely hang out together. Don't worry about letting Thailand know the force of JiTaew. Game Sanaeha withdrawal still seems strong, at least in Twitter *sweatdrop*

The most we can do is increase the views of Game Sanaeha in YouTube Ch3 page. That's the reason why the subs were put there in the first place. That way, when Ch3 does push through with exporting lakorns, Game Sanaeha would be among those to be exported. That would mean promotions abroad.
