However I did have my gripes with this lakorn. Mainly it bothered me that the male lead was a lawyer, but did not consider both sides of the situation (like a lawyer should...) and proceeded to harass the female lead based on prejudice. While I understand that it was necessary for the plot, I couldn't help but feel somewhat turned off by it because it felt very illogical, and I couldn't just brush it off as drama logic. Also, the second female lead has got to be one of the most insecure, spoiled, bratty leads I've ever watched! Ughhhh and her husband who is the second male lead is no better; I thought both were better off without each other because they're so toxic together. The loveline with the FL's assistant and engineer was weak (didn't like the guy either) and felt unnecessary to the main plot.
But I didn't mind as much as I would, because of the off the charts romance of the main leads. I can forgive most misgivings as long as the romance delivers and boy this one sure did. I savoured their every interaction and they seemed to burn up my screen with their sizzling tension and chemistry. Their intimate moments and tender gazes made me swoon. It was great watching them both understand then fall for each other as the episodes zipped by. This really made me fall for Mark Prin haha.
Though I really become a fan of Yaya for making the FL a confident, tough as nails woman who wouldn't back down without a fight, but is not completely heartless and just wants someone to genuinely love her. It did bother me a bit that she cried quite a lot and would complain about her lack of love (I mean you have your awesome manager and assistant!) but overall, I loved her character.
Music was good, though I don't remember much of it so I can't say it was my favourite. Would I re-watch? Def for the Yaya-Mark scenes but that would be all. All in all, this was a great intro to the world of lakorns and would recommend but not without some cautions.

Bad idea to binge watch this. Finished the series in 2 days. It was emotionally draining. It was like going on a roller coaster ride. I had a headache after I finished the last episode. So much anger, sadness, disappointment and frustration. Not to add the misunderstandings which weren’t all resolved until the last 2 episodes. The Nang’ek has gone through so much heartaches I’m surprised she survived up to the last episode. It was a consolation that she fought back each time otherwise I would’ve dropped this. And can we talk about Piak - the pathological jealous wife of the director. She’s on the top list of my most annoying villains in dramas. Her jealous fits started from episode 1 all the way to episode 14. It just went on and on that I fast forwarded everytime she appeared on the screen towards the last few episodes. She did apologise to her poor husband but not to our Nang’ek. To the end she was unapologetic to Jee. Considering that she hired someone to slap the her several times when they were shooting a lakorn.
Urrasaya was outstanding in this one. It must’ve been very hard to be crying in nearly every episodes and so many times. The parts where she had to appear tough towards her bullies was well acted. She did look tough but you can still see all that vulnerabilities she tried to hide.
Mark still looked sweet even on the scenes where he was bullying Urrasaya or when he was very angry.
The Nang’ek’s bff and her love interest were quite boring. I think this was done intentionally to balance with the tumultuous and volatile relationship between then main leads.
If you’re looking for sweet moments, there’s not many. I did feel their chemistry - mostly when they were arguing with each other.
If you can’t handle too much sadness and anger in a drama, this isn’t for you. Or maybe don’t binge watch it. It is a well made lakorn, one of the best I’ve seen so far in terms of casts, acting, storyline and production. But I don’t think I’ll be watching it again. I just can’t handle that much drama. Too draining. I’ll be watching a light-hearted romantic comedy after this, just so I can recover from this roller coaster ride.

My no.1 thai drama
First of all please acknowledge that English isn't my first language, mistakes or misunderstandings will be made.1.story
Like any other thai dramas, it isn't anything unique or different but it'll get you hooked for sure( or maybe it's just because i enjoy enemies to lovers trope). There are some scenes that i found super cringy and silly but they're totally bearable. One thing that bugs me the most about the drama is the fact that the fml doesn't get punished for killing the ml's fiance. Yeah i know she's the main character everything revolves around her and that supposed to not happen, plus she was just trying to save herself from her stepdad. Still she committed a CRIME, A MURDER, which she can not be excused from, regardless of the reasons. I totally agree with Sathit on this one. Not to mention the fact that sathit's fiance's mom forgives her so damn easily as if it's a trivial matter? the entire show she never even gotten to know that G was drugged, that's what causes the accident or anything at all. She just chose to forgive her, and that's just fucking unrealistic ?. I mean in the real world that is basically impossible. But it ain't a real world to begin with. It's a drama for a reason. Unrealistic things can become realistic any day. Piak annoyed me the fuck out. Babe just trust your husband it ain't that hard?
2. The acting and casting couldn't be anymore perfect. I mean the chemistry? The visual? The ACTING?? They were delivered magnificently. Yaya's and mark's acting never disappoint fr ( i suggest y'all watching "klin kasalong" to see how insanely amazing yaya is in acting. That girl is marvelous although you might not like the roller coaster of emotions that drama would give u)
3. Dare i say that the osts in this drama are hands down the greatest of all thai dramas. They're unmatchable. That two song got me in a chokehold for years.
4. This masterpiece is totally worth every rewatch. I have rewatched this 5 times, although i tend to find more flaws in it each time i rewatch it. Still my favorite though.

Acting/Cast (10) - This is the first role where Urassaya Sperbund has played a badass and she killed it. One minute she is able to portray a seemingly undaunted actress and in another moment a sad, pitiful, and misunderstood heroine. Prin Suparat is also an amazing actor and their chemistry was amazing. Supporting actor Nuttinicha and her partner were a cute addition to the plot.
Music (10) - The theme song perfectly explained their relationship and played throughout the show in scenes that had a lot of impact on their evolving relationship from enemies to lovers.
Rewatch Value (9.0) - I'd definitely watch this again. I actually already did.
Overall (9.0) - Overall, this was a good show. I won't exactly give it a full 10 since the way their enemies were dealt with were just so weak in my own opinion.

Moving to the actual drama—what initially intrigued me was the question it posed. How is it possible that a man can fall in love with the woman responsible for his fiancé’s death? This question was more than answered for me. Yaya is spectacular and has so much heart as Jee. Mark plays his limited role of Sathit very well, he gives it a lot of subtlety and the fury and heartbreak he shows is understandable and palpable. Louis is good, even though his character is mildly irritating. Toey’s Piak is actually fun for me—which I think is unpopular amongst other viewers, haha. I found her misplaced jealousy and petty vengeance taken to the extreme to be very enjoyable in the beginning, though after they began doing circles with their sideplot I did get bored. The actor who played P’Suki was uproarious, I loved him too. Jee’s best friend—Dao, I think?—was nice as well. She comes across as relatable and so altruistic, and somehow I saw a lot of myself in her. Funnily enough, though, I actually got bored of her loveline faster than I did of Piak’s. I’ll probably go back and watch the important bits of her story sometime soon.
Finally, what everyone’s been waiting for—YES, THEIR CHEMISTRY IS MAGNIFICENT. It’s . . . to die for, and for me, unforgettable. Their romantic scenes are perfection. The small touches, every single embrace, the look on their faces—it was everything. Mark does it so well—I sort of feel as though his hands have some part to do with it? The camera focuses on his hands a lot—he brushes hair away from Jee’s forehead, rubs a circle with his thumb over her shoulder, smoothes back a stray wave, holds her hand, and so much more. Mark infuses a lot of meaning into these relatively tiny things that elevate their romance for me. I might’ve fallen in love with him over the course of this drama, LOL. Yaya is fantastic too. Her eyes, body language, dialogue delivery. They mesh really well somehow, and I know that they’re in a close friend group in real life too, so maybe that sense of comfort and familiarity translates somehow. And the kiss scenes . . . I’m not even going to say anything. You’ll have to experience it for yourself.
The music is alright, only relatively good, though the lyrics are really nicely applicable. Sufficiently heartstring-tugging, in my opinion. Coming to rewatch value, I already know I’ll be rewatching. I watched it for the first time with a friend, and have a rewatch planned in a month or two with another friend after finals. It’ll be her first time then.
This one is going into my list of greats (and I will fully admit that it may be in part due to its sentimental value for me, LOL). But really, I adored this.
