More of a spin off/alternate universe thing than a sequel

I watched this after watching Dao Kiao Duen with Aum and Janie. 10mins in I realize that this is not really a sequel as listed, I would classify this as a spin off or "alternate universe" sort of situation. So if you were expecting a continuation of the lakorn with Aum and Janie, it is most definitely not. (Spoiler: Aum and Janie had twins or triplet girls at the of the Dao Kiao Duen).

The story line for this one was promising at first, but it quickly got dry and boring and I was left feeling frustrated with Chai Jan. I'm actually disappointed with Ken's acting (Chai Jan) as I've watched 3 Noom Nuer Tong with him in it and I really like his acting there. It was so dry and it may be a combination of the character he is playing and him.. but as the ML it was disappointing. Chai Jan's character here is bland, wimpy and cowardly. His character was so bland, he literally did nothing when Pichaya was all over him. He let Vivet fight his fights and resolution for him. All the other side characters basically resolve his issues and problems for him throughout the lakorn. Very disappointed in this type of ML. The romance between Chai Jan and Dao was somewhat enjoyable to watch but it was boring and not as exciting compared to Ingfah and Vivet - I really love their coupling. The romance between them was cute and enjoyable to watch. Really love how hard they tried for their love, and the kids! So cute.
I also loved coupling of Arty and Warang - actually they are my favourite couple in this drama and I wish there was more of them and their interaction. To be honest, Arty/Warang and Ingfah/Vivet saved this lakorn for me, otherwise I would have dropped this and not finish it.

Overall it is a good drama as a filler or background noise. I ended up fast forwarding alot of scene between our ML and FL and watching the other couples and even his cousin and Pichaya's relationship. I would not recommend personally, I would skip it. It takes alot for me to drop a lakorn once I started and this one was pretty close.
The OST for this is just as good as Dao Kiao Duen.
