So Wayree (2020)

Worth your time if you get past the controversial premise

This series starts with a very controversial premise, FL got drugged by a 'friend' and was 'sold' to the ML who mistook her for a prostitute (not putting spoiler tags here as this is basically on the first 10mins of the drama). If you in any way cannot stomach this, then DO NOT CONTINUE WATCHING as this drama (similar to other lakorn) has many other questionable scenes and it will only for sure upset you and it is not fair to give it a very low rating because of this. Lakorns are their own kind and shouldn't be compared to Kdramas and real life. If you know you are being served chicken, you should not expect it to taste like pork.

If you are able to get pass Episode 1 and willing to open your mind and just be entertained then this Lakorn is WORTH YOUR TIME.
Now rating this as a lakorn, I would say I enjoyed it a lot and perhaps it is the best this year.

-it is surprisingly fast-paced with no annoying filler or secondary plot (I remember even in KluenCheewit which I like, I tend to skip scenes that are not with the maincouple as I find them tedious)

-on the first 5 episodes the ML is basically an obnoxious caveman, grabbing, force kissing, verbally abusing, literally harassing the FL. He seems non redeemable, but things actually gets better episode 6 onwards.

-this lakorn has the best second couple, usually I don't care so much about second couple but in this one I really enjoy seeing Chen and Na. Their relationship was the most natural, normal and comedic. I love this combination of the spoiled rich boy and the tomboyish no non-sense bff of the FL. Na's character is definitely one of the best, she's super chill and the voice of reason on this drama.

-the ending wasn't rushed. They took 3 episodes to start wrapping it up. Unlike other lakorns where you only get like 5 minutes of happy moments, in this drama it is satisfying to see how it ended for each character. It is also refreshing to see that the antagonist are not as evil or ridiculous as in usual Lakorn. By the end of the drama, they were able to humanize the characters.

-there are many eyerolling moments, but this is lakorn so just roll with it HAHA. It kept me watching and entertained the whole time so not much complaint there.

-The editing is also good, the story itself as mentioned is questionable at certain point, but the flow was good. I remember watching Husband in Law and the editing and cuts made by the director is so confusing.

-The script could have also been improved to justify the character's behaviors, specially on the controversial scenes mentioned. It would probably lessen the hate directed at the ML if he got a better script explaining why he did what he did.

-The actors seems to be rookies but overall okay. Kem's acting (ML) is no way near the level of Mark Prin or even Mik Thongraya but he did pretty well for a beginner. He is also handsome but I would say it's obvious he's still very young, there are angles where he looks kinda chubby with his baby cheeks. He could work out a bit to get more chiseled. Mookda (FL) is also okay, nothing spectacular but she delivered. Her makeup sometimes looks off though, the orange lips doesn't suit her and she looks prettier with her hair down. The person in charge of the clothing also seemed to think throwing in as much designer stuff into an outfit will make the characters classy, but sometimes it just looks tacky.

Typical Dramatic Slap/Kiss Thai Lakorn

Looking for a Thai drama with a stubborn female lead, a romantic male lead, a jealous/revenge seeking villain, lots of slap/kiss, and an (untypical) one-night stand? Well, you came to the right place!

FIRST IMPRESSION:
I first started to watch this drama after hearing mix opinions about it from my sisters. I didn't have much expectations when going into this drama. However, the first episode took me by surprise. Like, what??? It's not even one episode in and we already got babies? Throughout the whole drama, I was frustrated by the main leads and the push and pulls. However, the last few episodes finally filled in some plot holes, the villains were more humanized, and the romance started to pick up.

STORY:
The beginning of the story line was something Thai lakorns writers have never really done before. The main couple had a one-night stand, with the female lead drugged and the male lead who fell in love with her at first sight. Basically, what happens is that the he was tricked into thinking the female lead wasn't "innocent" and paid to sleep with her. It was very disturbing at first but he lives in guilt about it throughout the whole drama. Typical drama happens. Company rivalry, hidden mistress, jealous villain, supporting best friend, kidnapping, sweet second male lead, hospital scenes, police station scenes, and numerous slap/kiss scenes (not that big of a fan of it). However, one thing that really stood out to me was how the writer choose to end Parin's father and Pam. I honestly think that the ending for those two was better than most endings for most Thai villains, which I really enjoyed. Overall, typical Thai lakorn story line with a hint of sweet and bitternees.

ACTING/CAST:
I personally never seen any dramas of the main leads. I have seen dramas of the elder casts like Parin's parents, Mita's parents and aunt, and Pam's drama (Thep Sam Ruedu). For Parin and Mita, I think they did very well in portraying their characters. There was time where you could really feel their sadness, their anger, and their love for each other. So far, I would say I'm a fan of both of them and would probably check out more of their dramas. Two of the characters that I absolutely loved in this drama was Parin's father, Chatchai, and Pam. They both did excellent at playing their roles, especially in the last episode. They both made me tear up with their last few scenes. The twins were also really cute! I hope to see them act more in the future. I would also like to praise Na and Chen's acting. They both had GREAT chemistry and I ship them on a whole another level. If they ever have a drama out together as the main leads, I would definitely put it on my must watch list. However, I would say the character who stole the spotlight was Na's father. He was such a joy to see each time he appeared on screen and the way he supported his daughter's relationship was hilarious and sweet at the same time.

MUSIC:
The music didn't really play much of a role in supporting the drama. There was very few scenes when I actually even noticed the background music. I did eventually search up the songs and realized that Punch sang the ending song. I absolutely love Punch's voice and would biasely say that that was my favorite song of the whole entire drama.

REWATCH VALUE:
I would probably rewatch the last few episodes since it's more lighthearted and sweet. The first ten episodes, however, I would pass since it's the same thing over and over: slap/kiss 10x, realize I love you but I'm not good enough for you, after awhile I realize I actually want to be with you, but no I won't accept you back that easily, etc.

OVERALL:
Overall, it wasn't that bad. I would say be in the upper 50% of my watched Thai dramas. It wasn't lacking anything much, but it definitely had much more then I excepted. The romance was okay. The second couple definitely made up for the headaches the main couple gave us. The drama was VERY DRAMATIC (for all of you "I must have drama-drama" lovers). I would suggest for active Thai lakorn watchers to watch this, but if this is the first time you're watching a Thai lakorn, I wouldn't suggest it.

This is not the usual slap-kiss drama.It’s story has a lot more to it.

I really liked this Drama. It is really not a usual Slap-kiss Lakorn. It’s story is a lot more than that.
The things I really liked about this drama were;
~This was a kind of family lakorn revolving around children and parental love.
~There were points in the drama where it was really funny..not being an all time dark drama, even there were times when a serious thing was going on ..but it made me laugh out hahaha !?
~The Most Important thing which almost all of us want in a drama is LOVE❤️. Mostly in Thai Dramas ..there is no sign how the love began or how it developed or it’s deep ness but in this lakorn u will cry seeing the sincerity of the Male Lead.How much he loves the female lead .
~The Second Couple were superrrr cuteeee!
The thing which I didn’t liked about this lakorn was The Female Lead’s stubbornness.She was very stubborn not realising how much the male lead loved her and always accusing him.But all this was worth it because in between these were sweet scenes between the couple which made it worth-it to watch.
~What most people will drop this drama for will be saying that There is Rape in this drama.I also thought like that before but when you reach into the later episodes of this u will realise that it was a kind of misunderstanding and not a RAPE .Even though, The male lead was at fault but in later episodes he repents for his mistakes and that made me cry how he was suffering.So you should look forward to watch it!!
There were many reviews saying that it was not a good drama but I decided to go for it and I don’t regret at all.It also teaches us many life - lessons .
At last, I will just HIGHLY RECOMMEND this drama and say that you will not regret watching it and It is not the usual-slap kiss drama(even though there are scenes of slap-kiss but not much)It’s story is way more than that.It will give you a new experience!!

Read the story summary before starting to watch

It is one of those dramas which you'll either love or hate due to its storyline. Both ml and fl are flawed but ml is difficult to accept as he slept with fl thinking of her a prostitute. Fl was young and drugged at that time. So,she had serious depression facing the truth and her life was hard for making certain choices as a consequence of that one night.

If you can accept a ml who purchase women for pleasure. Then, you can watch it. He does have a background trauma which makes him want to eacape relationships. Also he never forgot fl and searched for her extensively. He had fallen in love with her.

Acting is good and it has all the typical thai larkon spices which make them unique in drama world. Thats all I got to say.

Best lakorn, smart storyline

I dont know why this lakorn just get value 7.6 i think this is the best lakorn. It is revolusioner lakorn. The story line is smart. It is not like older lakorn which is just contain slap and kiss, and boring story about the poor meets the rich. So wayree gives a new sensation of lakorn. The story was smart, logic and makes me excited to watch the next episode.
I have rewatch this lakorn 5-7x indeed... i feel the acting was good. I was crying when kem n mook meet again. Or when mita admit that parin was the father of the child.
I love this lakorn so much.
And i think i must clarify that in episode 1 parin and mita has one night stand, parin is not drunk. Parin 100% awake. He thinks that mita was a prostitute, because mita's friend sold her to parin.

Asian Robot Award goes to Kem Hussawee

Why is it Chain of Vengeance?
I'm a fan of Revenge Drama and I don't really think this is a Vengeance Lakorn...

The Story is cliche Slap/Kiss and lots of boring business talks. I hate how it started and ended. All of Characters is pretty much unlikeable.

Hate-Love that turns to Love-Hate and turn back to Hate-Love.

Acting is very bad especially for Kem Hussawee
Kem's Expression and Emotion. I can't even explain it so here are the 10 words
1. Robot
2. Blank
3. Bland
4. Stone
5. Awful
6. Horrible
7. Terrible
8. Bummer
9. Trash
10. Bad

The only good thing about this Drama is the Ost it reminds me of Sai See Plerng and I really like it

I will not Rewatch it because of Kem I just can't watch any of his Drama anymore. Wake me up if he is already 60-80 years old or if he is playing a Role of Robot.

Overall, The Story is bad as well as the Acting. I will scored it 3 because of the Music...

Not going to be Lakorn of the Year 2020 for nothing!!! Tho yeah it is controversial.

Indeed The Best Thai Drama of 2020. I actually consider this as the best thai drama i've watched because i liked the pregnancy/hidden child kind of stuffs. But since this is lakorn you got to expect lakorn things lol such as slap-kiss and a lot of misunderstandings. The chemistry between Kem and Mook was just undeniably so good and every moments between them is ♥. The ep 1 is quite controversial, but there is a reason on what happened between them, i just got to look at them equally as they both become a victim here. But still, rape is rape!! I wish they met under different circumstances but it is what it is. I just happen to overlook it because i was curious about the consequences of those mistakes and the fact that the ML just got tricked by the FL's friend. Surprisingly, every episode is really engaging despite the controversial beginning. Anyway, this is a breakthrough lakorn of the peak pandemic for a reason haha!!! No too much fillers, no too much dragging, the ending was super satisfying!! It will not awarded Lakorn Of The Year for nothing. I've got to admit there is some lapses at some point in the acting especially on Kem but their chemistry will take it all lol. Plus their cute twins here will always steal the show hehe because of their cuteness. The OST's are perfect fit on the story.

This drama is not perfect and has its flaws but i binged watched it because the story is very engaging enough and i like the tropes included especially the "Hidden Child Story". So personally, i rate it 10/10

PS: I rewatched it for over 5 times already lol and i become a die hard kem and mook fan ♥

Everything Bad in Lakorns Put into One

I'm a fan of slap-kiss lakorns. I really am. I've enjoyed dramas with a much worse premise than this. But this lakorn. Oh my god. It really annoyed me. It's only 3rd to Sawan Biang and Raeng Tawan for me. Any lakorn fan knows that Sawan Biang is the worst of the worst with multiple rape scenes and just violence. Raeng Tawan just went on and on with the same plot of gun violence and running away from bad guys when in reality the male lead himself was a bad guy.

This drama is all those combined into one.

Even though everyone said, "thE neW So WayReE doEsn'T hAve RAPe," what happened was rape. Parin a.k.a our male lead, "f@ck3d" *cough* *cough* RAPED our female lead, Paramita while she was drugged. To make it worse, he paid her friend in exchange for her. His excuse was "he thought she was a prostitute." LIKE IT DOESN'T MATTER YOU, GIGANTIC MORON. YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO SEX WORKERS EITHER. IT'S FOOKING RAPE.

Then Paramita gets pregnant. But I must give it to Mookda who plays Paramita for doing such a good job. She really was pitiful and we could feel it. ALSO, SHE'S GORGEOUS. Anyway, she gives birth to twins, lies to her parents saying they are her adopted niece and nephew, and comes back to Thailand only to meet Parin.

Parin and Paramita go back and forth a few times. A MILLION TIMES ACTUALLY. AND THIS LITTLE BITCH PARIN STILL DOESN'T THINK IT'S HIS FAULT. BRUH. YOU'RE A RAPIST. WANT ME TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU OR NAH? Also why tf does Chem have no emotions when he acts as Parin? He was so robotic and monotonous. And the mans was supposed to be in love. Like miss girl, you only saw her once when you raped her. How are you in love? Explain. I was so tired watching him y'all.

Every single Lakorn cliche happens to the leads. There are endless evil people. Endless deaths. Endless crying. Endless babies. Endless episodes. Just endless everything bad.

Then there are the parents. Regardless of how they refused to put him in a bad light, Paramita's dad was a terrible father. Not only did he blame her for getting assaulted saying that "she should've been careful,", the man also tried to marry his daughter for a scandal to go away. HE ALSO GOT HER RAPIST TO WORK FOR HIM. Good one pops. Don't make me start on Parin's douche bad dad who got a completely unnecessary redemption arc. Let him rot in for all I care. Forgiveness was never an option. AND Parin's mistress ass mom who didn't let a married man go. Babe, you're the mistress. Fix it now.

The only good characters were Aunt Waew, the boss bitch who hid Paramita's secret, Paramita's tomboy bestie who stuck with her through thick and thin and bestie's dad, Parin's brother who had such good character development, Paramita's mother and the kids cus well they are kids. The rest of them were just bad. The secondary couple was honesty goals. Good for them

Anyways, it was pure trash. Don't waste your time, go watch Kleun CHeewit or Hua Jai Sila again.

Controversial and toxic, but I liked it?

To start off I would like to say that this lakorn is NOT for everyone. It deals with things that are very controversial that many people may not be comfortable with and in many instances is VERY toxic. If you can look past that though, it is worth the watch as this drama turned out to be one of my favorite lakorns of all time (I usually stick to BL’s as many lakorns I have watched tend to be TOO dramatic and a drag to me with the story being everywhere). I really got attached to this drama and would look forward to watching it. It is VERY tropey (love at first sight, enemies to lovers, revenge, slap-kiss, one night stand where the female lead gets pregnant and hides their child(ren), etc.), but I live for all the tropes and this drama had me hooked! I found this drama to not be a drag, despite it being almost 2 hours long per episode for 15 episodes. The story also flowed really well and I enjoyed every second of it!

PLOT/STORY: The plot/story of this drama was very well written! I found it to be a good pacing (which I am usually pretty picky about) without dragging or rushing anything. Though the beginning of the main couple was quite shocking and disturbing and would make anyone watching uncomfortable (me included), it was needed to fuel the rest of the story (kinda wish that Prin was given a better reason for what he did but it is what it is). I looked forward to every episode as it just kept getting better and better and I really enjoyed the drama very much. This drama made me feel giddiness, happiness, annoyance, anger, ALL THE EMOTIONS. I found that there was nothing too extreme in this drama to the point where it was unrealistic and the story was pretty straightforward and not everywhere like some other dramas. The characters actions, though sometimes infuriating, was for the most part realistic and human. There were no filler scenes and every scene made sense and was needed for the plot of the drama and I never got bored while watching it. Overall, the story worked very well, had a satisfying ending which was not rushed, and gave me an enjoyable drama to watch.

Side note: However, something that really didn't sit right with me was the reasoning behind why Mitra's father forgave Prin on what he did to Mitra. He was dead set on not forgiving Prin for what he had done, but then when he figured out that he could use Prin against Sirimantra, he was so quick to forgive and make a deal with Prin. Like sir?? He literally assaulted your daughter and THAT is the reason why you forgave him and gave him a chance? He was more mad that Prin was Chatchai's son than he was that Prin assaulted Mitra. Yes, Prin did redeem himself throughout the series, but damn the reasoning of Mitra's father in forgiving him was selfish and hypocritical.

ACTING: The acting was superb! I did not find that there was anyone in the cast that made me cringe with their acting.

Mook as Mitra: Can I just say Mook is seriously so BEAUTIFUL! She looks like a doll come to life and she acts so well too! She conveys emotions so naturally and cries effortlessly. I don't find her to just be eye candy that cannot act well because she is actually a very phenomenal actress! Her acting was very convincing and did not look forced or cringe at all. She played Mitra very very well.

Kem as Prin: Kem’s acting was very good as well. I saw someone say that he was like a robot, but for me I found him to have done a pretty good job playing Prin. He conveyed emotions very well and overall I thought he did a great job as Prin!

Gookgiik as Pam: Oh how I HATED Pam. Gookgiik acted so well that I hated her character the entire time. Pam was a brat who was always jealous, hating, and scheming and thought that she was entitled to have better then everyone else. She is also very vile for what she did to Mitra and everything she did in general.

Parn as Traitot: Parn did a great job in playing the antagonist Traitot because he was so convincing that he had me annoyed and rolling my eyes the entire time.

Amp as Gun: Amp did a great job as Gun/the second male lead. He did well in portraying the typical kind and understanding second lead. Second male leads are typically so annoying (and some instances he kind of was), but he understood pretty quickly that he could never replace Prin in Mitra’s heart and backed off, which was nice.

Nick & Rina: These little kids were so ADORABLE and they acted so well for their age. The crying scenes for both really amazed me because it looked so real. Their interactions with Mook and Kem were also very natural and so cute! Serious props to those two adorable kids!

The entire cast really delivered with the acting and made this drama so great!

COUPLES:

Prin & Mitra: This couple was TOXIC. I loved this couple so much, but they definitely started off very toxic as *SPOILER* Prin basically raped Mitra in the beginning and that's how they had the one night stand to begin with. I know I know Pam drugged Mitra and convinced Prin that Mitra was a prostitute, but Mitra still did NOT consent and Prin knew she was under the influence. Then after they met again Prin would just man-handle her, harass her, and verbally abuse her multiple times. VERY TOXIC I know. However, Prin did kind of redeem himself (he really got stabbed and shot 3 times for her) as the drama went along and he seems to have actually repented for his mistakes. It really irked me though when Prin left Mitra in the hut when she was just about to confess everything about their children to him. But I guess that was needed to make the story longer lol. Their stubbornness made my head ache so much, but I still love them. Overall, their chemistry was really good and I loved them as a couple when they finally decided to communicate, trust each other (side note: I was shocked that they didn’t make the whole Pam “drugging” Prin a big ordeal and that Mitra actually trusted Prin enough to know that he would not cheat on her which I applaud), and work past their issues.

Chen & Na: This couple was so funny and a breath of fresh air from all the drama that is Prin & Mitra. They were unexpected for me too as I did not see anything about them being a couple before I watched this drama. Chen definitely redeemed himself in my eyes because when I first watched his character I thought he was so sleezy, childish, and annoying. Overall, I loved this couple as they were so adorable and funny. Na's dad with this couple was also hilarious and I just loved them for adding comedy to this otherwise heavy drama.

Traitot & Kirtpol: I hated this couple and I would literally skip all their scenes. They were just so annoying which probably means that their acting was so good lol. They just peeved me and Kirtpol was just a spoiled gambling addict brat and Traitot was his little dog who did everything for him without seeing his true intentions. Though tragic, their ending was satisfying to me.

STYLING: I loved the styling so much, especially Mitra’s styling! She always looked so elegant and chic and I loved it!

OST: I really liked the songs they chose for this drama. It fits the drama so well and I enjoyed listening to the OSTs during the drama!

I love how this drama didn't drag anything too much. They gave enough time for each issue, but did not drag anything on for too long to where it got boring. I also thought that the business scenes weren't too much to the point where it got boring as many dramas tend to drag the business scenes, but I think in this drama they gave enough attention to the business aspect as needed without making it drag and become boring. It was an angsty drama, but I loved every bit of it and would definitely rewatch again! I was a bit hesitant to start this drama because of some reviews, but I would say watch it and judge for yourself because I ended up loving it so much!

P.S: I also love the fact that they had the producers do cameos (Khun Ying & Na's father)! I thought that was a nice touch!

P.P.S: I also really like the fact that they had another child (Prin's sperm is so STRONG LMAOOOO).

P.P.P.S: I CANNOT WAIT FOR INNOCENT LIES AND TO SEE KEM AND MOOK REPRISE THEIR ROLES AS PRIN AND MITRA!!

2020s most addictiveThai Lakorn so far....

First of all So Wayree regardless of the acting, character development, twists or chemistry, happens to have many questionable themes in it which might not be suitable for some people. So Wayree is a drama, which I felt, was written in a way to mostly cater to the Thai Lakorn fans. It has got so many scenes that look thrilling but in real life is actually criminal or very unethical. The first scene between the main leads itself was pretty outrageous. The characters did things ranging from drugging someone to rape to kidnapping to murder (and don't think all this was just the villains in the drama, the protagonists did some sh*t too).
That said the overall drama was pretty good. The push and pull romance (although pretty annoying at times) was good. The chemistry between the the 2 leads was superb (I've always been a fan of Mookda and even though this is the 1st drama of Kem's that I have watched I really liked him). I also kinda liked her with Amp (who had previously worked with Mookda on the drama "Massaya") because I felt like his character got over his prejudice and accepted her for who she was and later supported the 2 leads even after getting rejected.
The 2nd lead couple (the FLs bff and the MLs brother) were amazing together with as good a chemistry as the leads (they should have their own spin-off in my opinion), they also added a lot of fun scenes in the drama which I really appreciated (Na is hands down the best Thai lakorn side-character I have seen, from her fashion style to personality, I loved everything).
The antagonists were great as well. I loved the actress playing Pam. I really liked the characters of Traitot and Krit because it proved to me that how playing a gay character does not mean that an actor will only get BL drama offers (The main reason why many thai actors are now refusing to participate in BLs is because of the fear of getting typecast) and the fact that they treated their relationship like any other (instead of problems with acceptance they had other common issues too).
So Wayree also touched on several serious topics. The fact that the FL felt the need to hide the fact that she was raped instead of reporting it simply because of fear of ridicule by her family and society was upsetting (and it does happen in a lot of asian countries). There were other instances like people manipulating the media to help themselves, parental pressure and conducting corporate espionage just to make profit etc. This was the main reason why I liked the drama (It also reminded me of "Kluen Cheewit" which had a similar mix of serious topics and thai lakorn cliches).
In conclusion if you are a thai lakorn fan this drama is a must watch.

How does this lakorn have such a high rating?

I am seriously baffled by the high reviews for this drama. It was a train-wreck with so much nonsense that I am surprised that despite all the stupid I just watched I see people rating this so high. I seriously hate that utter crap like this gets rated so high which will lead to writers and directors thinking trivial plots and pathetic acting is okay and they will continue to make more of this garbage.

Recently, over the past few years, I have seen a serious decline in quality lakorns with solid plots and good acting. There is a rare lakorn or two every few years that I am engrossed by, but, by and large, most new lakorns are s***, and this is coming from someone who used to love lakorns even more than kdramas. I am relegated to rewatching the older lakorns now as most new lakorns are not even remotely on the same level.

I honestly don't want to write a whole essay as to why this lakorn hit so many nerves, but the long and short of it is that every single character (except for Chen and Na) were lacklustre in terms of depth. The plot was the cliche of cliches, where we have not one, but two unexpected pregnancies, all from the same guy?! The cherry on top is that the ML got shot over 3 different times and ended up in the hospital, it was at the point that when he got shot, I was literally screaming, "Again?!" Like come on, this whole drama was lazy writing. The writers cut and paste every cliche they could think of that might spice up the story. The story itself had no standing whatsoever.

Secondly, Mook, the girl who played the FL is such a low-level actress. She is super pretty, however, she can't act to save her life. Why, oh why, do directors cast people with little to no acting abilities as main leads? There were so many instances where she just stares at the camera with no expression. Beauty does not equal good acting, and I really wish that people who are her fans can understand that she is not cut out to be the main actress yet. She should study acting more, take on side roles and expand her experience through theatre or classes. At her current skills, it is so hard watching her in any sort of scene, especially scenes that require more expression and emotions.

Kem as the ML did a much better job as an actor, and I honestly enjoyed his redemption arc, and the only reason I stuck around to watch the show was to see him reunite with his kids.

I only wrote this review to counterbalance the overwhelmingly high reviews by other people. This lakorn isn't worth anyone's time honestly unless you are a huge fan someone in the show, save yourself the 15 hours.

Addictive but not really entertaining

WHAT I LIKED:
- The chemistry between the two leads is good. The actors Kem and Mookda did great.
- Prin : He is a very human character with his flaws and qualities. The story starts with him doing something terrible to Mitra that should send him to jail but he gets away with it. The good thing about him is that it is possible to understand him without excusing his wrongdoings. After making several mistakes he really put his heart into redeeming himself and try to win back the woman he loves and their children. And for that he is selfless, super charming and has a lot of patience dealing with Mitra. He is the best part of the drama.
- Chen and Kaweena : they are the fun and fresh touch.
- Gun : Not a popular opinion but I had sympathy for him. I could understand his choice to try to win Mitra but also how and why he rekindled his friendship with Prin. Too bad he kind of just disappeared in the last eps.
- Pam: typical evil woman in Lakorn but the actress was successful in making her look a crazy lunatic with wtf schemes just because she is jealous.
- Than Thawee's wife: she has little screen time but she is savage.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE:
- Mitra: She made wrong choices since the beginning because she is spoiled and stubborn. I could excuse her first mistakes because she was too young but after she decided to reconcile with Prin and he wasted the chance she just went sulking and taking weird decisions which just brought problems for everyone. For me she was not a great person and sometimes she was too extreme. I could not have sympathy for her.
- The arc of narration with the Dr Traitor and his lover is weak. They did all this just because one wanted money and the other wanted to please him.
- The final vilain was there just for the revelations about the kids and Prin's origins. He was so not challenging I was disappointed and even laughed during the final showdown between him and Prin's father.

OVERALL:
The drama is nothing special and full of clichés and tropes but at least it manages to make the viewer curious of what will happen next for our two main leads and how they will get together. Finally it is nice to see how it ended well for the good ones but there is not a lot of fun in this. There are a lot of misunderstanding to solve and secrets to unveil but not enough intensity. The truth about the kids was unveiled in such a funny way. It is an OK drama but not an unforgettable one.
