I still hate lacorn aka soapoperas...

but saying this, this was the best I have seen so far. The overacting (dad, brother) is painful to watch, but besides them there are no characters who got on my nerves. I guess both Pond and Chai did an excellent job from a lacorn view. We already know that Pond can play anything if they let him. Chai is a veteran actor and in this case he is not a 2nd class support as in most other series. As always Grandma is the best and the most wise to boot.

Then we have the typical One31/GMMTV (One Enterprise) forced happy ending. There must be a happy ending ALWAYS. Why not let him die - that would have been the more fitting ending for the story. There are sacrificies to be made to change a country for the better. But no, he could not have been sacrified, there had to be a happy end, so all the fangirls are happy. First there is the "death", everyone is crying (including the viewers - not me, because I know it's always fake) because there is a death ceremony, then the "resurrection" and finally Phob is apologizing to Thins dad - FOR WHAT? WTF is wrong with the writers? There is no reason to apologize to the dad at all! And yes, they life happily ever after... or so.

Production quality was top notch and especially the OST was superb. Too bad GagaOOLala fails to translate songtexts and have missed some subs especially in the final episode. Let's just say, this series is quite good for what it is. It's not perfect, in the middle it's a bit draggy, but the start and the end till episode 10 are not bad. The finale is questionable but we can live with it. It's far from a masterpiece, but even as a lacorn it's so much better compared to most thai shows airing now. If you don't mind soapoperas it might be for you.
