Drama Digest
Made under the direction of renowned Torpong Tunkamhang, Jao Sao Jum Loey (เจ้าสาวจําเลย) is a Thai drama series that aired on 16th February 2021 to 13th April 2021. This overly dramatic television series extends up to seventeen series, with each episode of an hour and twenty-three minutes. Before tuning into it, it is advisable to know about the content rating, which is 18+ with depictions of violence and profanities.
The Feel-Good Part
The story opens up with a forced marriage in the lead female actor’s life. Barely able to escape her drastic fate, she finds solace with Sichon. One of the first things that enrapture is the soundtrack. The male lead had the opportunity to lend his voice to one of the original soundtracks in Jao Sao Jum Loey. Another distinct point that stays with us is the enticing plot with steamy romance on the side. It is self-fulfilling to see the leads fight and find in the end to love each other.
The Disappointing Factor
With this routine storyline, Jao Sao Lum Loey fails to make a distinct spot for itself in the drama industry. There are many television series with a similar narrative style. Moreover, the toxicity of the couple is another aspect to beware of. The aggressiveness of the male lead puts off the mood of the drama.

However, Ingjan manages to escape her designed wedding and stumbles upon another man, who seems to be passing by.
