I agree with everything you say, it's hard not to compare KLKN with RS. Daniel (but Fahsai calls him Daniol) is, most of the time, smart, he's a man of a few words and it's proven he's wiser than his Dad, so when he decides that Fahsai should be with Chen Ming, shouldn't he instead think that meeting Fahsai is like he's granted a second chance at love? I guess that's his flaw. But I love Fahsai so much for her resoluteness, she knows which one she wants (there're 4 guys vying for her ) the faith she has in Daniel is something you can't find in other n'eks. Well, it's beautiful, I mean it can only be beautiful if you trust, love, feel that way toward the right guy. I even like her more than Mayumi, though unlike Mayumi, she's weak sometimes but resilient. Seiko?. And yup, the only gangster lakorns that have managed to make me go are RS and KLKN.^Thanks for sharing!
While watching KLKN it was hard for me not to think about Rising Sun. I think Rising Sun's wrap-up had more closure and I still much prefer Takeshi's strategy of keeping Seiko close, rather than Daniel's cold shoulder keeping Fahsai far. Daniel, despite being so smart that he knew EVERYthing that was going on, did not use his power to protect Fahsai, he decided to use a broken heart. Takeshi, despite being under the same pressure as Daniel to keep his family honor and keep n'ek safe, was able to harness his family's power to place Seiko in a role of honor and respect within his gang. This made much more sense to me because Takeshi knew he was the reason Seiko was in danger, and he took utter and complete responsibility. Takeshi had a bit more freedom because his father died and he became the actual boss, but he could have pulled a Daniel. Thank goodness he didn't. And I love that while it's a given that our p'ek is going to protect n'ek, Fahsai was a spunky, smart, compassionate heroine who could hold her own against a whole group of mafia guys. Likewise, Seiko was often the victim when it came to Onizuka's rivals, but she stayed true to herself and rejected the love of her life because she would not settle for a life of danger.
I'm not as impressed by other gangster lakorn as I am by KLKN and RS. After all the guns and blood, we get our happily ever after and three kids for both couples, at least in our imagination hehehe.
Thanks Katelyn for the pics, another visually beautiful couple. But a giant like Mik should really watch his weight. A chubby Mik is not gonna be looking cute like a chubby Nadech.Credit IG mikpimfc

Then I guess I shouldn't watch it, Daniel is perfect and I don't want to see Mik ruin it playing someone else who is bleh. I'm very picky when it comes to n'eks, my eyes have to like em otherwise I won't watch the lakorns. Stephany is not beautiful, sorry no offense to Steph's fans, according to me personally.Hi @Sylvia Christopher!
Welcome to the forum! I started watching Talay Fai because I was missing Daniel. Mik and Stephany make a great looking pair though to me they look more like siblings. Steph looks more mature than Mik but she is actually younger than him. Maybe it's because of her make-up and attires in this lakorn. Their chemistry is great! I left off at episode 10 because it was getting a bit dragging. Will try to finish watching it.
If the Chens are from the mainland, that makes sense, however, Daniel's Dad is Wang Fei right? And that's a Mandarin name. Well, it's not a big deal, it's just because I speak Mandarin too so I noticed.Chen Ming and Chen Biao gangs might've been originally from China unlike Daniel's gang? At the end, Chen Ming tells Tien Kong, remember our old friends from "pan din yae?" which is mainland China.
I think the difference between the way Daniel and Takeshi went about protecting their women is that Takeshi was trying to protect Seiko from his enemies. Daniel was trying to protect Fahsai from himself due to his hangups about killing Botun. He was too hung up on his issues to worry bout outside threats.
I actually like Stephanie but I couldn't finish Talay Fai. The 10 million times someone tried to kill Stephanie/Mik got way too repetitive and stupid for me. And too much focus on the bad guys. Or in other words, typical Ch7 lakorn. It kills way less brain cells to just watch the MVs of them and look at the eye candy.
You're welcome! Looks like Mik exercises so hopefully no weight gain for him.Thanks Katelyn for the pics, another visually beautiful couple. But a giant like Mik should really watch his weight. A chubby Mik is not gonna be looking cute like a chubby Nadech.
