The Male Lead had more chemistry with a Side character IMO

Watch it if you’re in the mood for: A typical revenge Thai Lakorn, but done right. A smouldering Male Lead, who has decent chemistry with the not-so-awesome, mostly-ok Female Lead. My plot twist is in the last para of my review.

Why I liked it:
* I concur with the other reviewers that the Male Lead carries the show. Gets the right amount of anger, angst, longing, confrontation etc in his expressions and he is good-looking as heck. The kisses are also nice, not dead fish pressing lips against each other. I don't know what the ML was on when he filmed this lakorn, but he had chemistry with everyone. With the FL, with Mee, with Aunt Mam, with Oil. I personally thought he can give a lingering glance to the wall or the door and I would be convinced that he wants to make out with the aforementioned wall/door. I feel bad for the FL to be honest. The ML brought his acting A-game to the lakorn, she was valiantly trying to keep up.
* This is where I get shot but here goes: I thought Sila had smouldering chemistry with Aunt Mam! Before I am killed for pointing that out for a character who was effectively a Mom-substitute for him in the plot, hear me out:
- The way they are introduced: She is taking a bath, he is in the shower and they are talking to each other on phone. Exactly what am I supposed to take away from such a scene?
- He was extremely protective of her, I would say even more so than for the Female Lead. And they took precious plot time to build that out too in scenes between the two of them. Maybe they did it to show that the Male Lead is a good character, not evil. But picture this: Aunt Mam is a victim of violence. Sila sees this and loses it, vows to burn it all down. She is sitting there in a thigh-high slit bathing robe sort of costume when he is falling to his knees crying. Whoa! My brain just can't seem to process it as him doing this for a motherly figure. The sexual innuendos were strong!
- It is not helped by the fact that I thought Aunt Mam was the most gorgeous female in this series, and Sila is well Sila. Smouldering hotness. Maybe my brain is automatically shipping the two most good looking folks in this series.
- Once I got on this train of thought, I couldn't help but see each of their scenes in a different light. Whenever she is calming him down, she is running her hands around his shoulders, down the length of his arms. You get the drift!

Takeaway: Someone make a May-Dec romance and cast Aunt Mam and Sila in lead roles. What natural chemistry! What good looking folks! What great actors!
