It's a perfect 10 for me.

It's a nice story -which might be a common trope in other Lakorns- but here the focus was mainly on the two leads and how their relationship grew and morphed into more. There wasn't too much disruption by other characters and when it happened,it was to help the plot move forward which resulted in the drama not being draggy.

All the characters were well-written. Their motivations were clear and the tidbits of history we had about them helped understand them better.

The leads had great chemistry and complemented each other well! I'm still swooning when I think about them hihi.

The FL was a (nice) brat which was a nice change. Her character added spice to the drama and the actress did a good job not making her annoying.
She had killer looks in the drama. All her outfits were to die for.

As for the ML, it was a nice suprise to see a ML in a Lakorn who stood by the FL faithfully without wavering. The casting of the actor was on point here again.

Needless to say that this drama gives one hell of a hangover and I'm sure to go back to watching it again. It's now one of my favourite dramas.

I love the main characters. The FL’s acting is very good. When she cries, it breaks my heart. It looks so realistic. I'm not a big fan of the story, how the FL looks down on the ML just because he doesn't have high status. I feel bad for the ML because he has had a crush on her since little, protects her, and is in love with her but all she does is look down on him or hate him. I don't understand why she hates him. However, they have amazing chemistry with each other. The FL still falls for him and that's all it matters. She always says something she doesn't mean it. I love both acting 10/10. It's really good that I would rewatch it many times. I also enjoyed watching their other drama called “Fah Diew”. I love how charming James is. I really want them to make another drama together. I don't enjoy watching them with other ML/FL. James and Tiew forever 🥰

A thai lakorn at its very finest.

I'm going to be very liberal with my rating. This is a lakorn, and being a lakorn ,the story has many flaws.

STORY:
Storywise, this is a very common type of Lakorn to find. The plot is simple yet interesting. I won't talk about it much because you can gather what the story is about from the summary. The writing of the story could have been a bit better. Characters often seem to do something just for the plot, and they are often very illogical and blood-boiling-annoying to watch, Being a lakorn, this and some unwanted violent and non consensual scenes. The scenes were unnecessary and by no means did they add any enjoyment to the watch value. However, this is a lakorn and these things are expected so overall, I'd say that I enjoyed the story!

ACTING/CAST:
The actors did their best with what they were given. I've noticed that lakorns often have awkward transitions (not the actors fault), and this drama has plenty of those.
There were many emotional scenes and I think that the actors all did a great job.

MUSIC:
The music is typical lakorn music. However, I didn't feel like the music matched the scenes all the time. For instance, when a couple was having a serious argument over their relationship or if an important plot twist was being revealed, there would be playful music playing in the background. And, when there was just some normal romantic scene going on, dramatic music would start playing in the background.

REWATCH VALUE:
The story is a good one. The cast did a good job. If I were bored I would totally rewatch it with liberal use of the skip button.

Fluffy like candyfloss

Wow I had a really awesome time watching this fluffy candyfloss drama. It gave very warm feelings and emotions.

The story started of pretty well but it somewhere got lost about the game plot, but at that certain point it gave some very cute and romantic moments to cherish. The couple goals were so much beautiful I love the fact that no characters were left with loose story. Each one had their completed plots.

Lucknai was very expressive with his face especially his smile. Every time he smiled it seemed like he is teasing nok. But when the story moved and got serious he was bit less. I still felt warmth in his sad expression.
Nok was super pretty and bratty. I like how she didn’t give up until the end. The most cherished part would be the friendship between vishakha and thawat. They understanding and helping each other was truly inspiring.

Ost were nice and lyrics was awesome. Thanks to those who translate them.
Rewatch maybe sometime.

Loved this Lakorn. I binge watched it in 3 days. If sleep wasn't a requirement I would have finished sooner. lol
The writer did a great job building the characters. I loved Nai and Nok's character a lot. The acting was on point.
The only thing I think needed a little polish would be the close scenes between Nai and Nok. We know all kissing scenes are fake but I would have liked to see more lip on lip kissing instead of the fake kissing.
I'm so glad I waited to watch this Lakorn until it was complete. I would have lost my mind if I had to wait for every episode.

INDEED, A GAME OF LOVE!

This is my second lakorn and I love the #JiTaew tandem so much! The OST, characters, storyline, and even the production! EVERYTHING ABOUT THE DRAMA WAS SUPERB!

James Ji (Nai) — it’s my first time watching him. I got curious because people are suggesting their drama a lot. Watching the first episode, I was already hooked with his acting skills. He’s the best in terms of delivering his scripts and in the way he portays his role. It is just so timely to even know that James Ji won an award for Best Actor recently because HE IS INDEED AN AMAZING ACTOR!
Natapohn Tameeruks (Nok) — I will also give credit to TAEW because SHE’S A QUEEN for her acting skills in this drama. She cried a lot especially in the latter part of the drama and I WAS BLOWN AWAY IN HER EMOTIONAL SCENES. I cried so much in the end of the drama. I love her so much! She’s both fierce and cute in this drama. Only few actress can do that.

THIS DRAMA SHOULD BE AIRED HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES SOON, OR IT HAS ALREADY? NEVERTHELESS, IT WILL SURELY BE A HIT.

I don't watch much Thai tv series and most of them are from CH3 Channel since i like their actors/actresses more than other channels. Honestly, while i was enjoying watching love-hate relationships which Thai Lakorns love, i didn't really like any of them. They are all too dramatic and lost of logic plot only for the sake of angsty.
But Game Sanaeha is my first favourite Thai LaLorn. There is still some unnecessary angst plot but overall it did not let charactors fall deep into hateful category, less stupid conflicts.
Acting are good, I'm not fan of James Jirayu even has not-so-good impression about him before but i love his acting here, it feels natural. His performance as Nai make me love his charactor without feeling attacted to him since i can see them as two different people. Taew is also good, she make it believable that she is younger than Nai. Chemistry between the leads is a phenomenon. It makes this lalorn has high rewatch-value for their sweet scenes.
Charactors: Nai is such a genlte, smart, witty and nice main male charactor. It's easy to fall in love with his charactor. Vi/ Nok's mother is a refeshing character too. Nok has some annoying personality but she is kind, strong and cute enough for me to accept her character. There are still some annoying characters as usual
Weakest link of this lakorn is step mother and her relationship with Nok's Dad, it dragged for too long.

Everything in this drama is superb . From the cast to the story everything was excellent. Great acting , I was really convinced. I felt every scene. I laughed, fell in love and cried. The OST's were appropriate. They really tell the feelings of the leads. The chemistry between the leads was great. I really did fall in love with them. And aside from just being a love story, this drama also promotes awareness in the preservation of our environment, and that is a very good point. This is actually the first Thai drama that I've appreciated. I even got addicted with James Ji and Taewaew ( Nataphon). Surprisingly, I wasn't annoyed with the language when in fact I used to hate it. ( No offense meant .) Or maybe because Nataphon is sooo adorable.

BEST LAKORN I'VE WATCHED!

Feels like I want more! The rollercoaster feeling when I watch this is so niceee! Many people are so mad at Khun Nok >.< We all know that Nok is so annoying in the beginning of this drama but we should know that she's only mad at someone when she thinks that people will just use her parents. The divorce of her parents really had a bad impact in her attitude but we can't blame her if she's like that, no one wants to have a broken family after all. The one thing that I don't like in the characters was their lack of trust in each other so it results to their misunderstanding in the situation. I like Khun Vi, she's so cool! I have no comment about Khun Wat and Khun Khae's attitude in the beginning because it makes me annoyed sometimes. But in the end, I like how the FL and other characters change their bad attitude especially Pen. The determination of Lucky to become close to Nok is so fantastic. I wish I can also find someone like Luckanai. (◕દ◕) James Ji (Nai) and Taew (Nok) really have a great chemistry, 100/100! For rewatch value, I have nothing to say because I think I can now watch this drama without the Eng. subtitle. LOL

This drama should have been good if the episodes are shorter. I mean, I somehow enjoy this drama but repeating kind of scenarios are tiring making the growth of each character slow and boring to watch. Now Im stuck in epiosde 11 and still lazy to continue given that the next last episodes are already predictable?

The leads have chemistry tho, Nok is so beautiful and A SPOILED BRAT! Both still lacks sincerity in acting for me tho. I also admire her Mom here, shes just adorable lol.

Anyways every lakorn I watch theres always a father who has another woman that arises crisis and problem, so typical and annoying. *SPOILERS* What I hate more about this drama is that Nok's father is just so stupid and still end up with Kae. It's obvious that after all, she don't deserve him and for her to realize her 'love' after he save him from the accident and she got pregnant with him just don't made sense. Im not against Nok's parents divorcing tho but its just too much. *SPOILERS*

Overall, a good to go drama if you don't have anything to watch anymore lol

Best Male lead and worst Female lead

This drama has its value due to the male lead. I have watched many thai drama specially slap kiss ones and male lead is very cruel but here he was most kind ,forgiving and loving man. I loved how there were no rape scenes. Female lead was huge disaster. So much entitlement and studpidity. She was more like a toddler wjo throws tantrum everytime they dont get what they want. If she had changed and shown some character growth it would be good but just one episode with her redemption was not enough for me.

A mature storyline with impressive acting and superb cast

This was one lakorn where I did not fast forward scenes at all. Every character has an distinct individual personality and the actors have done a impeccable part in doing justice to the role. Female lead Nok is a spoiled rich pampered brat and at times extremely annoying crybaby to point of being obsessive. However, the male lead played by jirayu is charming , adorable and they have a lot of cutesy moments. But the best thing in this lakorn are the noks parents wat and vi , you can literally feast your eyes on an amazing chemistry between them which makes for a delightful watch! I loved the character of vi who despite her shortcomings is mature, fun and practical yet emotional as the situation demands! She was most consistent and honest throughout... And is able to distinguish her feelings between romance, friendship and love...
However, note...its not a romantic comedy and is a typical melodrama... with lots of endearing, appealing segments...

All in all its a MUST WATCH !
