Wow - what an emotional roller coaster ride this Lakorn has been for me! I really wanted to rate this show higher, especially after watching Donut Dejpongwaranon deliver some excellent acting. Additionally, the story was pretty well-written, particularly the plot centering around how Paul/Poramee exacted his revenge.

However, I did also spend all 18 episodes feeling extremely annoyed for the following reasons:

1) A female lead that was all looks and very little brain. Nai, for most of the show, came across as weak and overly naive. She was either crying, fainting, or choosing to sacrifice herself for her so-called family's happiness. I found myself cursing at the screen many times during scenes with Nai in them. I understand that Nai viewed Khun Net as her benefactor and therefore was unwilling to go against her wishes. Still, one can reasonably expect Nai to at least have some common sense with her interactions with other people. There were a few times when she redeemed herself a little by showing some intelligence or backbone, but those moments did not last long. It was during the last episode that she finally toughened up. Better late than never, I guess.

2) No respite from the villains always having the upper hand. Seriously, the villains in this Lakorn seem to get all the breaks. It would have been better if there were more triumphant moments for the good guys. I had to wait until the last episode to see the bad guys get any retribution.

3) Noble idiocy at the last minute, causing the ending to be less satisfying for me. After everything that the main couple has gone through, I thought I could at least have half of the final episode dedicated to their happy ending. But nope, the show had to throw in another twist, another reason for separation.

Ultimately, I still gave this show a pretty high rating, mainly because each episode kept me at the edge of my seat and kept me coming back for more. I ended up binge-watching this show because I really wanted to see what happened to the main couple and the villains.

The chemistry between Donut and Prapye Theerapat was great, and undeniably, they were a visually striking couple. Prapye is gorgeous; it is too bad that I was not too fond of her character for most of the show. I don't have much to say about her acting skills other than she nailed the crying scenes and looking pretty during them. Throughout the show, she tended to have this wide-eyed look, displaying shock, confusion, innocence, sadness, or happy sweetness. Donut, on the other hand, did a fantastic job with a wide acting range. His micro-expressions were on point, and he emoted so well during the crying scenes. Plus, he's got a killer smile!

Unfortunately, the main couple did not have that many romantic scenes. Despite the near-kisses and longing stares, Paul and Nai only got together towards the end. As for the supporting cast, they also did a good job. Not surprisingly, there were some over-the-top acting for comedic effect. I enjoyed watching the development of the second couple's relationship. Kachane was such a blockhead, so focused on loving Nai, and I have to admire Pat's tenacity in getting her guy. I liked that Kachane was a gentleman all the time, secretly and then finally openly loving Nai but graciously retreated after finding out that Nai loved Paul.

I enjoyed the music selection; between the love songs and instrumental pieces, each one fitted the scene/mood well and evoked my emotions. I was glad that I found the main ones on YouTube.

Probably not a re-watch for me since I don't think I can afford to get my blood pressure up that high again.
