For me, this lakorn is fun-filled, full of comedy and slapstick humor. The show has some twists and turns but nothing angsty and the issues get resolved within an episode. It is not perfect, but I still enjoyed it a lot and binge-watched all 17 episodes in 3 days, which was quite a feat considering each episode was almost 2 hours longs. I am picky when it comes to lakorns because I am uncomfortable with some more acceptable themes in Thai dramas. So I am glad that I came across Sapai Import and felt compelled to write a review.
Min Peechaya, as Lisa is absolutely gorgeous from her hair, face, and clothes to her strength and confidence. She's the complete package when it comes to a smart, strong, and independent female lead. Admittedly, she is a little too violent, beating/hurting the ML and, at times, too shrill for my liking. Still, it is tolerable for me, knowing that this is a lakorn, and most female lead characters are usually portrayed in an extreme way. This is the first time I watch Mik Thongraya, and he portrays a rather fine-looking Don. I like how Don constantly teases the FL, and Mik plays the ML well, switching between an adorable and sweet guy to a moody, sarcastic but clueless dork. Mik is a triple eye candy threat with his looks, height, and sex appeal, and in general, he is a great actor. That said, I am not so sure about his facial expressions in some scenes when he seemed a little stiff. However, it could be due to the video and sound quality on dramacool. The chemistry between Min and Mik is amazing, and they have many cute interactions throughout the show. There are a few funny transitions where romantic scenes suddenly become ones where Lisa is beating Don up. It's also especially funny how Don becomes hornier and tries to get more intimate with Lisa after they acknowledge their relationship! I do wish the kissing was better, though; at least more than just locking lips and staying frozen for ... minutes.
The supporting characters were just that, the supporting characters I didn't find them that remarkable but a shout out to the amazingly supportive mother-in-law and sister-in-law!!! At least we don't have to deal with an evil scheming MIL; instead, we have a mean grandmother who is bent on Don married to Ratree, who's absolutely psychotic! I feel terrible for Ratree, and ideally, the show should have had her getting treatment. Unfortunately, that was not addressed. The other villains are just so annoying and I did skip through some of their scenes because I simply could not tolerate their greed.
I can't say much about the OST since the videos' sound quality was not great, and I probably would rewatch if I can find another platform with better quality.
Overall, I rated this show pretty high because it kept me interested and entertained despite having to deal with not the best video quality.
