No one can escape from fate

Honestly speaking, this is the second Thai drama that I had finished? My perception of Thai dramas are like more towards noisy quarrels or crazy slapping etc, so this fantasy-thriller genre is very new to me and something I like. Definitely, for those looking for heavy romance drama, this might not be for you since the romance just serves as a subplot to the entire storyline. However, it fits fine to my palette because I never liked stories that were purely romance. I like elements of suspense, crime and thrill, just like this on.

Story
So FL (Rose) inherited the ability to see one's future through the touch of a rose after a deadly accident she faced. She has this mission to use this ability to guide people to doing the right things. She crosses path with ML (Theerut) whom happens to be an actor and started off on the wrong footing when her prophecy suggests him with a playboy nature , a big no no for a person under limelight. While her predictions eventually came true ML still carries ill feelings and irksome feeling because of his own misconceptions towards Rose. They reunite again 6 years later at a community event, where she predicted the fates of 6 celebrities/reknown figures, with Theerut included. She eventually saw her and Theerut ended up as a couple and reels in shock. However, this drew the paranoia of the participants, whom each has their own secret they are afraid of exposing. Rose then starts to encounter life-threatening situations with the assailants being one of the prophesized. While Rose initial suspect was Theerut, he happens to save Rose from death several times and they eventually form an alliance to capture the culprit. Of course, along the way they resolve their initial misunderstandings of each other and fall in love.

It's nice you can guess the suspects and to see who get eliminated along the way, but each story was heartwarming and has a story to tell. Like Lyla being fixated on a fake personality, but eventually finding solace with her family and coming true to herself; Khun Ying coming clean to her sins, and atoning herself & reconciling with her Dad. Rin being conned by Thanapol for love but she definitely redeemed herself when she exposed his crimes! No words for Wuttikorn & Thanapol who died in the ends because of their own sins and wrongdoings. All in all , the drama just tells you you cannot escape from your fate, but you can decide how you face it. Can't escape from karma if you do the wrong things, it's just a matter of time.

Acting
With my limited exposure to thai dramas, its really my first time seeing the dramas of these actors. I would say I am loving the dynamics and acting so far? Ice has such a pretty smile & James is good looking as ever (heard about him before) ~ really love the personalities of the 2 leads. The secondary leads are nice as well, especially Paul and Kratai whom liked the main leads but they did not do crazy things for their love of whatsoever which is a plus. I liked that most of the characters are cool headed and with the intelligence I expect. Especially the mothers of Rose & Theerut. Rawee is also such a darling and I really loved her acting. Overall there are some parts of the drama that's predictable, but I really liked how the prophecies from before and pieces of evidences from before eventually plays a part later in solving mysteries and deducing the crimes and suspects.

All in all, I think it's a good watch? I previously watched Roy Leh Marnya but couldnt finish it because I just couldnt comprehend the logic and personalities of the leads despite the good acting and chemistry. This drama was a good watch to me, thought i felt that there could me more romance elements to justify how the leads/ secondary couples fell in love (e.g Paul & Kratai? like they just moved on almost immediately lol and got together in the end). There's a tinge lack of development. Otherwise, it was fine ~ anw the music was good love it :)
