Pretty good lakorn!
Tl;Dr - This series was awesome! I'd recommend it!! If you're looking for a light-hearted, well scripted & greatly etched characters - this is the show for you! It made me laugh, ponder and root for characters!Now, let me break this down into sections -
Story: The plot is actually quite tight, for a rom-com-ish Thai lakorn. Our male lead, Mahatsajan's, father sends him to the village to learn about life in general. There he meets Baimon(Female Lead) and Kamloy(Female Lead's Best Friend) and they don't get along, to say the least. Baimon & Kamloy's parent's farm lands get swindled while the same forces are working to swindle Mahatsajan & his family out of all their assets. The story revolves around bringing justice to the impacted people, learning about the importance of kindness and not being prejudiced about anyone.
I like that they spent time on the rural section and then the city. The story gave time for all characters. The villains and how they scam the leads' families is quite interesting in itself. In many other Thai drama, I usually fast forward the villains plotting and being sleezy. This one kept me riveted, though. I hated the villains, but did watch through all their scenes. And, I absolutely heart the two best friends - Baimon and Kamloy! Those are friendship goals! And I also loved how Baimon, Kamloy & Kamloy's boy friend worked hard and persevered to achieve their goals and dreams! The story had some beautiful messages about friendships, family & being kind without being preachy. I liked Mahatsajan's character growth! I also enjoyed watching him slowly fall in love with Baimon! I just wish they spent a little more time showing us Baimon falling in love with Mahatsajan. And, why oh why did they have to do that alter ego bullshit in the last episode?! I'd have preferred more time spent on them being all lovey-dovey.
Moving on to Acting - Everyone was awesome!! Well, everyone except the ML's mom. I don't know why - but I hated her! She was so screechy that I had to lower the volume of the video or mute it to shut out her voice and extra acting! I think the actress playing the ML's mum could have toned it down a bit. But, apart from that - I really loved every one! Special mention about the villains - they did a very believable job! They were creepy and gross - and made me hate the characters. The FL was kickass! I really loved her - she lived that character! :) The ML was pretty good too! There were parts were I thought he could have emoted better, but I was very ready to forgive these transgressions!! The two leads had good chemistry. Not the greatest that I've watched, but good nonetheless.
Music (and bit about editing): The music was okay. It kind of went with the scenes. My biggest complaint - What the hell was going on with the editing department? huh! There were many scenes where the music was amping up and there was an abrupt cut to a different scene. This was very jarring - Hence my overall 7.5 as opposed to a 8.5 or 9.
This show is definitely re-watchable! With that, I'm going to re-watch some of my fav scenes! :D

Another lakorn that brings Chippy, Stephanie & Kat all together.Stephanie always gets to play the naive girls.
Before getting into any reviews I believe young girls needs to learn some lessons from this lakorn.
looks & wealth can be deceiving & money is not everything.
Let's get into the review
Mahatsajan's father who is an MP sends him to the village , Baimon & her bestie Kamloy is living to make him to learn about life & people. Father said I am their MP and in the future you'll be their MP, so you need to know about how they live.
Baimon & Kamloy don't really click with Mahatsajan, they do things on purpose to make his life even more difficult.
Baimon & Kamloy's parents farm lands get swindled as the mothers don't know how to read & write and the same people who swindled Baimon & Kamloy's parents are after Mahatsajan's family.
While Mahatsajan's father is suspicious about his daughter's boyfriend her mother is quite the opposite blinded by the (fake) wealth of her boyfriend and encouraged her to be with him
the same goes for Mahatsajan, he was blinded by the looks of his girl friend and thought she is from a wealthy family
Baimon and Kamloy gone through hell & back to make their dreams to come true.
Mahatsajan doesn't fall in love with Baimon at first sight, his love gradually grows.
near the end he learns to trust Baimon and also gives her something to keep / hide it for him.
I am still confused if Mahatsajan understood Maitong is Baimon or not.
Can they please stop casting M as villain lol, I am gonna end up hating him one day.
Peter was great, I laughed at his scenes.
Hats off most of the time Kat & Chippy had minimum make up on their face.
Although I hated Mahatsajan's mother, sister & the greedy house keeper. It was fun to watch

Good actors, but too much slapping and stupidity
Typical Lakorn rich & urban ML VS poor & countryside FL.PLOT: The rich & spoiled urban ML, son of a deputy, is sent to the countryside to learn the life of his fellow citizens. There he meets the FL, whose parents are quickly robbed of all their assets by a quartet of crooks (including the mother and the fiancée of the ML). The FL will come to Bangkok, become the maid of the ML's house, and study law, to try to obtain justice.
Catchy beginning, but quickly becomes repetitive, slow and annoying (too much bickering & some overplayed characters).
The rest is nicer (when the ML starts to change -ep. 14-15? and the leads start looking for proof) but the "vaudeville" side remains щ(ಠ益ಠщ) annoying.
The only intelligent character in this series is ML's father, but he watches with fatalism without ever doing anything!!!
### the representation of the police in Thailand is VERY unfavorable: the police (incompetent or even idiotic) only intervenes to arrest suspects (judged without any supporting evidence) at the request of rich owners. But what did the police do the rest of the time???
### The character of the “stupid” sister is unbearable: she only knows how to cry throughout the episodes!
### In Thailand, there is no lawyer, no private detective? No one is capable of carrying out a serious investigation?
### The Maithong / Baimon plot is so stupid! Even a blind person would realize that it is the same person (voice, way of speaking, way of eating, etc.). And the “I want to test which of the two he likes” is even more stupid Щ(◣д◢)Щ
This happens when the producer and the screenwriter want to "keep going unrealistically a serie" to make 24 episodes of a story that deserves 15!
=> Very good actors, but a story whose faults are so obvious that the spectator feels taken for an imbecile (╬ಠิ益ಠิ)
***********************************************************************************
Lakorn typique rich & urban ML VS poor & conutry FL.
PLOT : Le ML rich & spoiled urban, fils d'un député, est envoyé à la campagne pour apprendre la vie de ses concitoyens. Il y rencontre la FL, dont les parents sont assez vite spoliés de tous leurs biens par un quatuor d'escrocs (dont la mère & la fiancée du ML). La FL va venir à Bangkok, devenir la maid de la maison du ML, faire des études de Droit, pour tenter d'obtenir justice.
Débuts accrocheurs, mais assez vite répétitifs, lents et agaçants (trop de bickering & certains personnages surjoués).
La suite est plus sympa (qd le ML commence à changer -ép. 14-15 ? et que les leads commencent à chercher des preuves) mais le côté "vaudeville" demeure щ(ಠ益ಠщ) énervant.
Le seul personnage intelligent dans cette série, c'est le père du ML, mais il regarde avec fatalisme sans jamais rien faire !!!
### la présentation de la police en Thaïlande est TRES défavorable : les policiers (incompétents voire idiots) n'interviennent que pour venir chercher des suspects (jugés sans aucune preuve à l'appui) à la demande des propriétaires. Mais que fait la police le reste du temps ???
### Le personnage de la "stupide" soeur est insupportable : elle ne sait que pleurer à longueur d'épisodes !
### En Thaïlande, il n'y a pas d'avocat, pas de détective privé ? Personne n'est capable de mener une investigation sérieuse ?
### Le plot Maithong / Baimon est tellement stupide ! Même un aveugle se rendrait compte qu'il s'agit de la même personne (voix, façon de parler, façon de manger, etc.). Et le "je veux tester laquelle des 2 il aime" est encore plus crétin Щ(◣д◢)Щ
Cela se produit quand le producteur et le screenwriter veulent "rallonger la sauce" pour faire 24 épisodes d'une histoire qui en mérite 15 !
=> De très bons acteurs, mais dont les défauts sont tellement grossiers que le spectateur se sent pris pour un imbécile (╬ಠิ益ಠิ)
