I'm a bit nervous here.. being the first to review this show. But, hey..
*rolls up her sleeves*
Let's do this!

This is the first pars in the Cupid Series, all about 8 young women and the order they've all got from their boss: to get a boyfriend within a year! Turns out to be easier said then done. Each and every girl here has a reason why they are still single, and they will have to overcome those.
In case anyone's following the chronology, it's this:
Part 1 : Kammathep Hunsa
Part 2 : Kammathep Ork Suek
Part 3 : Kammathep Online
Part 4 : Loob Kom Kammathep
Part 5 : Sorn Ruk Kammathep
Part 6 : Kammathep Sorn Kol
Part 7 : Kammathep Jum Laeng
Part 8 : Kamathep Prab Marn

Part one follows the trials and tribulations of a woman that gets her words wrong, gives her men bad luck and messes up at lot. However, behind all that she's got good intentions, absolute forgiveness and huge & warm heart, warm enough to play a crucial part in becoming one man's conscience. And more than that.
WHY I LIKED IT?
The chemistry between our OTP can not be denied. There was no aggression (yelling and finger-pointing don't count as aggression, if you've seen more lakorn than this, you'll know). The skinship, the hugs, the awkward moments of bumping onto one another: all there, all nicely done. Some parts of the Show are specifically made to put you in a "fangirl" mode and to play the key role of Fan Service. It's fine, not all dramas have to so darn dramatic. S
The sounds! MY, my.. behind every good series are the sounds. I absolutely loved how the production team added the lion's roar behind those "I'd slap you on the face right now" looks. It also exaggerated the blinking, just at the right moment. Thumbs up for doing a great work. That's how you do comedy.
The idea of two halves of the heart striding to one another, and not being apart even when tossed into a trash can, it's a lovely thing to see. A tiny bit of magic, Cupid's way, I'd say. :)
Oh, one more thing: you will get a "say what?!" moment. Even if you had your doubts, the Show will manage to twist itself into a pretzel at the finale. Made sense, but I won't spoil it.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE
Pardon me for NOT being a sucker when it comes for anyone pulling the Noble Idiocy act on the viewers! I have yet seen a situation where "silent retreat" from your soulmate with no real obstacle is good for any of you (any of us!). *slams hand on the table*
(it's about police, again; most of my complaints are about them, eh?) Dear police, if you're sitting on a stake-out and waiting a criminal to be caught red-handed; can you PLEASE try to jump in before there are three shots fired? all your suspects went in the same direction, mind following them?!
THE MUSIC
There's a main theme, but I didn't pay a lot of attention to it. I liked it (sorry, can't really remember the exact tune, so I'll just say it wasn't a problem).
RE-WATCH VALUE
There is a high possibility of forgetting this nice little Show. I'd say: YES, sure.
OVERALL
It's like a light breeze or a lemonade.. to sooth you and give you the mellow after-taste. A solid 8.00.
