“Song huajai nee puer tur” aka “Two spirit’s love” is a thai lakorn that heard high praises and it turned out they were right. This is fluff at its best.What is this about:
Khun Tharatorn (Mario Mauer) is a young businessman who is engaged with Champagne (Pat Napapa). However, due to an accident he occasionally loses his memory and he dreams of a girl in his sleeps, while he can control electricity and move things with his mind. Kewalin (Mint Chalida) works with her brother to repay their parents’ debt. In an accident Kewaling meets Tharatorn, but he doesn’t remember who he is and call himself Mek.
My review:
This lakorn has a lot of things in its plate, from telekinisis, dissociative identity disorder to past lives and incarnation. If I was to explain how all these are connected, I would write a lengthy essay that wouldn’t help anyone. In paper and in principle this should be a hot mess and shouldn’t work. At all. But I heard so many good reviews that I was really intrigued to see how this could be a good lakorn. Against my expectations I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Kewalin (Mint Chalida) is a young girl that has to work with her brother to pay off their parents’ debt. She is a tomboy, feisty and cute. She has a very moral sense and she will speak her mind. As much I love her, I have to confess that there are a lot in her character that are cliché and a bi annoying. But she is definitely on the better spectrum of female leads. What impressed me was the actress. The first time I saw Mint was in “Pathapee Leh Ruk” where she was anything but impressive. There she was wooden and seemed like she was reading her lines, rather than acting. After a 180o turn, she is natural and has many expressions on her face. Hooray! Her effort really paid off.

| As Tharatorn |
Tharatorn (Mario Mauer) is more of a typical rich man that is used to get his way. He could care less for his supposed fiancé, but he isn’t rude to her. Actually, he isn’t rude, just arrogant, but not always. His saving grace is his sense of humor and his love for his little sister. Mek is the most loyal and courageous. He is like a child that has no idea what is going on and he is the cutest. The pairing of Mek’s personality and Mario’s cheeks is irresistible. This is the first lakorn I see with Mario Mauer and he has impressed me so much that I will look for his other works. He played three different characters (when you watch the lakorn you will understand) and it was always evident who he was, from the body language to his voice. Kudos to him.

| And as Mek |
Champagne (Pat Napapa) is the evil female lead. I knew from the first moment that she was evil solely from her hairstyle to wardrobe. I liked that she wasn’t from the first episode the antagonist, but she was given a reason for her actions (this isn’t the norm with lakorns). We learned that she was adopted and treated like dirt by her father that wanted to marry her off with Tharatorn only for business. She was even sweet and pitiful in the first episodes. Her path to the dark force (hehe) was slow and more satisfying.
Anima (Jin Glawgao) is Thartorn’s little sister, aka the shipper between Tharatorn and Kew. I loved her, she was so sweet and cute. Also, her relationship with Tharatorn was a highlight. In various movies or dramas I sometimes catch myself thinking “oh yes, they are siblings”. Here I always felt that these are family and warmed my heart.
Korn (Panjan Kawin) is Kewalin’s big brother and he acts like one. Similarly to the other sibling pair, I would always feel them as brother and sister that look out for each other even though they argue most of the times. His love story with Anima is both sweet and cute and they were cute as buttons together.
Thanon (Kratoom) is the main villain of the story. In the first episode I didn’t actually notice him. He is cartoonish and cannot be taken seriously, but the actor was obviously enjoying himself, so I didn’t mind him. plus, he got what he deserved in the end.
The gang, aka Kewalin and Korn’s friends, are super funny. In most lakorn I skip scenes with second leads that are too ridiculous. I don’t know what happened this time because I loved them. I literally laughed out loud with them. And it was nice to see their bond as friends throughout the lakorn.
The directing wasn’t anything interesting, but the writing felt fresh. It had many unrelated things and somehow it made them click together. I am honestly unable to pinpoint what was the factor that made everything work. Was it the different storyline, the slow reveal of each element, the actors having fun? Maybe it’s all of them together.

| Loved these costumes |
Because it dealt with past lives, the lakorn had several scenes in the past, especially in the latter episodes. I have never seen period lakorns so these scenes were interesting to me, as well as the clothing and styling of the actors during them.

For me the two best aspects of this lakorn that will make your time worth are the physical comedy and the romance. We have plenty of both. All the actors, except the bad guys, deliver the humor not with just the dialogue but with their facial expressions and body language. And the romance, once it started it never lost focus. And once Tharatorn realized he has feelings for Kewalin he becomes so much nicer. Not that he was bad before, but he clearly needed someone that would not freak out with the whole incarnation thing. It’s hard to fault him.
Why you should watch:
- Fluff, fluff and again fluff.
- We have romance and we have humor.
- Great chemistry between the leads.
- The relationships between the siblings and friends are very strong.
- If you are bored with the typical lakorns.
- Fresh writing and dialogue.
Why not to watch:
- If you don’t like lakorns.
- If you don’t like romance.
- If this too all over the place for you.
