I don’t want people to think I don’t like the all-out romance plots of lakorns - I do! - but somehow the phrase “pleasantly surprised” pops up for this lakorn. I guess that because I’d seen the modern remake and enjoyed it, I thought this earlier one wouldn’t be very good. Instead, I really felt the leads had more attraction to each other than in the remake. Be warned, it is a culturally-older-styled lakorn - lots of shooting and screaching second lead females along with a less than believable child actor - but the show worked. I guess I would split the appeal of the show between the cast and the writing. Yea for Shirtless Pong - he was underdressed quite a lot! - and yea for the writers. The writers couldn’t maintain a totally believable storyline all the way through but there were some great scenes that were written as though real human beings were speaking, not actors. That, for me, is the mark of a good script. The character or second lead actors really shone as well. While Por (Pong)’s sister Putt was crazy from the get-go, her motivations weren’t so complicated that you couldn’t understand her. Also, The ups and down of Kaew’s and Por’s love story ran the gamut from lovely romance to harsh realities. Even the second couple (I’d say this was Kong and Pe) and the third couple (Kaew’s friend and her co-worker/boss) had some very realistic moments. The music really fit the show and I thought the whole series was re-watchable to boot.
