Despite the good ratings I gave for this lakorn, I can't say that it is one of the best ones out there. If this didn't do the thing I love about lakorns so well, then I'd definitely say that it's just your typical lakorn. You have weird, cartoony sound effects. You have music that is not only overplayed to death (to the point where I had to turn off the sound near the end because the constant playing of the music almost drove me insane) but also played in inappropriate situations (romantic music plays after Charles threatens Fah) which makes the scene less serious than it actually was. You have the second female lead Prae who is the worst sister ever to Fah as she not only doesn't care for her well being, slut shames her, manipulates, almost kills her and is just selfish to the core. Then she somehow makes a miraculous realization that Fah cared for her all this time (girl had to take a damn bullet at that point like wth) and gets away with all her crimes. Of course the male lead believes everything that she says over common sense. Second ML Por takes the cake for being a doormat and just waaaay too forgiving to Prae. Villain is one dimensional, and most of the side characters are there for comic relief and don't add much to the overall plot.

So why did I enjoy this so much you may ask? To the point that I've rewatched this more than 5 times and have lost sleep over it? It's because of the sweet, crazy love between Fah and Saichon/Charles. This tackled my biggest weakness when it comes romance dramas and gosh did I revel each minute of it.

What made this love story work for me was how I saw the progression of their relationship, starting from when they were on the island. I got to know the manly Saichon and the innocent Nang Fah. I saw their relationship develop with so many cute moments and how they were just so right for each other. I still liked Saichon a lot even though he was so mean as Charles, because I knew he always loved Fah and most often when he was hurting her, he hurt himself as well. I also have to commend Fah for sticking up for herself when she could and not cower over his actions. Also Charles as the possessive ML was just hot! I almost feel l bad for saying that bc it usually is a turn off but here it was my guilty pleasure! Their chemistry was already sizzling when they were in the island, but it was just off the roof when they came back on the mainland. It was this where I understood why Yaya and Nadech are paired together all the time.

All in all, I would 100% recommend this if you are big on romance and can tolerate a lot of bs haha. Now I just want a season two (though I know it'll never happen! But a girl can dream right?).
