The story isn't really repetitive or boring and I think that 17 episodes was reasonable.
What I liked least:
- Everyone in this story lacks common sense except maybe Lady Pin at times.
- The big secret that was discovered in less than a minute by the villain of the story and the outsiders to the family pissed me off.
- In regards to the ending, the classic rivalry that is systematically found in a lakorn isn't transcendent, it lacked a certain amount of fierceness.
- The point that bothered me the most was the acting, most of the audience was ecstatic about the chemistry of the m/m couple whereas I witnessed two guys playing their roles each in their own spot w/o really interacting (no, I'm not even talking about a kiss, but that palpable tension that gives you goosebumps just watching two actors interact)
- Overall the acting for all the casts is exaggerated.

However, where this story wins points:
- It was broadcast in mainstream and therefore didn't target only BL lovers and that's more than positive.
- Karma is in the spotlight and keeps a certain logic.
- The educational aspect, the emphasis on the notion of respect, empathy, forgiveness and the bromance. I don't remember seeing in a Lakorn male characters so respectful, whether it's towards women, towards subordinates, towards the poor, or to put it simply, towards others, and honestly, it feels quite pleasant.

Personally I'll forget Jiu and Tian pretty quickly, but I'll remember the kick-ass bromance. Final score 8.3 out of 10 thanks to the best relationship between brothers Yang and Tian.
