As someone here pointed out already, this lakorn has way more entertaining setting, than lets's say... office:-) There are cute scenes with animals, and animal keepers. Also the main couple gets your attention. She is Ice 'The Body' Preechaya (see 2015 'Stupid Cupid' for referrence) who can wear short hair and men's clothes all she likes, still she's not any less cute than your usual dolled-up nang'ek. He is someone I don't know from anything. But he definitely has some kind of arrogant air, perfect for portraying the annoying boss. Their contrasting dynamics is great.
It's soon obvious the boss likes Toonlayana, even if he professes it weirdly. At first, it looks like there's not much she could like about HIM, and Deaw Suriyon IS cuter... But then, he saves her from drowning, which IS the most romantic thing in my book:-) Also, his voice can be heard in the romantic song his actor sang (it's called 'Chan Cha Ro' and it's the ending song, mind you, not the opening song which is annoying as they usually are:) That makes him pra'ek alright.
Then she grows long hair (or rather quits wearing that super obvious wig) ... Yeah, years have passed. So it's bit weird nothing has progressed, even if things became obvious enough (he even kissed her a couple a times, back when she was still a short-head). The whole Deaw Suriyon line is weirder. All the time he treats Toonlayana as his sister, so you expect that when she realizes that, she will learn her life lesson (and finally see the real pra'ek in her eyes). Instead, he asks her to be his girlfriend, and later fiancee, even. They stay engaged for years (some silly reason of him preparing for the future). The boss now doesn't dare express anything more than friendship towards Toonlayana. So it's all stagnation. And that goes against hot romance:-D I felt like going back before the time-jump and continue there in some better way. Things are wrong now and it's worse if it's AFTER years passed, than if it was the beginning.
But, then the most emotional scene happens. That kind that always gets me. And instead of Toonlayana finally realizing her feelings and instantly go and break it off with her "fiancee", she and the pra'ek go further apart? I felt like smashing the scriptwriter's head! Many episodes passed already, it's tiring to keep playing the game where everyone stubbornly remains with the wrong person. Especially after nang'ek and pra'ek became more close than if they've slept together.
So, there I went with my many reservations against the script. But why was overall this lakorn so enjoyable? It was everything. I must really appreciate how much Nine Naphat Siangsomboon's pra'ek grew on me. His inner struggles were portrayed well and had poignant conclusion. Especially when I consider the young age of his actor. I loved Toon's friends and buddies... There were so many endearing scenes. The last few episodes were displeasingly diluted and draggy, but I'll definitely re-watch this lakorn. Just look at the main couple at that beach in the end, they are STAR couple. Can't wait for binge-concentrated version of this!:-)
