Overall a fun watch

This is actually my first review on this site ever just because of how much I enjoyed the lakorn overall.

I started mainly for Bua and Krating, saw her on Tra Barb See Chompoo and became an instant fan. My first encounter with Krating was Praomook, just loved his swagger on that show but the show itself wasn't great but that's a topic for a different review.

So overall this was a really good show, I think what I mostly enjoyed was the chemistry the whole cast had as a whole from the main cast to the supporting cast, the acting and chemistry was just on point. I even got to admire the talents of Alek and Namtarn who I've never heard of before but I really enjoyed their chemistry and interactions. Krating in this was so great he played the broken bad boy character to a tee. Can't wait to see what they all do next.

So here are my negatives, I felt like both the main female leads were mainly there as plot points and existed solely for the male leads, yes even Ginney who I thought was adorable. But all her storylines was mainly focused on Wat before the switch and Tet after, everything she did was solely to help him. Yeah it shows how selfless and a good person she is but outside of being with Tet and helping Tet, who was Ginney as a person? We know she's a model and that's it. They had hints of some of her family life focus in the earlier episodes but outside of one or two mentions, the family storyline was dropped. Same with Kul, Bua is a great actress when she's given the material to work with i.e the episode where she finds out that Tet loves Ginney and the episode where she breaks up with him. But she wasn't really given a lot to work with outside of those little plot lines. I felt like at least with Kul we were about to diverge a little out of the love interest cliche there, she had her career focus, the plot line about finding out who actually murdered her dad and bringing him to justice, wanting to get a PhD etc those were all good but as stated previously very little to work with compared to the ML (s)

Now the love stories, here I felt like the Ginney and Tet storyline was better developed than Wat and Kul if I'm being honest and that really comes down to the period of time between when Ginney found out the truth vs when Kul did because if they had happened at the same time they would have been more development between Wat and Kul. But when it comes down to chemistry I thought they were both great but I think ended up liking Krating and Bua's chemistry better because it felt more sexual and hot as opposed to Tet and Ginney which was more romantic and sweet so I think it really comes down to what type of energy the individual prefers.

I see some people harping on Kul for the way she treated Tet but what I'll say is that I think deep down Kul always knew Tet wasn't right for her but I think her fear of not wanting to be alone especially considering she lost her dad, and her mother moved away after getting re married ,so I think she felt attached to Tet because he had a family and was someone she thought would be there for her and that fear didn't give her the courage to break up with him when she probably knew they just weren't compatible for each other. Also in addition to the fear of being alone, they both had opposing life plans, Tet wanted to get his license and settle down, Kul wanted to go to school get her PhD before settling down so a lot of miscommunication and just wanting different things in life should have made them see that they just weren't compatible.

I loved the ending and was happy that everyone got their happy ending, was I sad that they didn't switch back? A huge nope because their bodies with different people as love interests after investing in the chemistry with a different body would have just been totally weird and disconcerting to watch so yay for not doing that.
