Synopsis: (from AsianFuse Wiki)
Song Pradtana is the story of two women who happened to have the same name and last name, neither side knows that there is another person who has the exact same name. Both of them lives their own life, thinking that in Thailand, there's only one person with this name and last name. Everything would have gone as usual if one of them didn't mysteriously die suddenly. The other one finds out that her bank account, in which she had millions, has been closed by someone. What she has never thought possible before happened, she will then look into who the other person was.
Slacker's review:
Finally! Pong's new drama was out! My expectation was lower for Song Pradtana as the plot did not seem to be interesting, though it was rather different from the norm. Most Thai lakorns are romance-based, but Song Pradtana was more on solving the mystery of the 2 Pradtanas. Romance plot was rather weak here, and there were a serious lack of chemistry & emotions b/w the couples. As much as I wanted to see Pong, this drama is rather plain & boring.
I thought Pong's performance was really restricted! I hardly see his scenes, and most of the time, he was being accused of being the real murderer. Finally, when Tee's name was cleared, we hardly see Paula as she is pregnant, so they cut down her scenes. There's simply no chemistry b/w Pong & Paula! Very disappointed ne~! Tee was pretty one dimensional, but it's nice to see Pong acting as a pure good guy la. (Most of Pong's characters have the bad boy image, but women cld not resist him~Lolz!)
First time watching Paula. Bplaa was not the typical lakorn female lead. She got the american accent and she's not those poor & pitiful woman. She's curious and loved to challenge Tee. It's fun to see how Bplaa bickered with Tee, though she might seem to be quite dumb at times. I wanted to see more Bplaa & Tee scenes, but they really had too little scenes together towards the end of the drama.
Pim is another female lead of the drama, and to me, she's the actual female lead. Why? Coz' Neung's development was the main story! She faked death, planned for revenge & found her true love. Paula's Bplaa was more of a support role - the woman who found that her bank a/c was closed, and she went to investigate. I was not interested to see Neung's romance scenes with Sarit, but the last few eps of the drama were more on this couple :(
Guy's performance was okay, but he still has a long way to go. Kinda stiff to me. I did not like him as he kept working against Tee! (I'm biased~)
Last but not least, Khem was bloody hell good in her evil role as Nichada. This woman got the most scenes and she gave scary stares. She always survived somehow until the very last minute. She killed so many people and she lost her humanity. I've never seen such an evil woman in any lakorns. Nichada won hands down! Haha!
Looking forward to Pong's new drama with Noon this year. Hehe!
