The lead couple cast is likeable... Though his facial hair bothered me quite a little:-/ She is beautiful, they made her wear uflattering clothes and hair the whole time but I have seen her sharerice pictures (unfortunatelly, these lakorn stylists used way more earings and hair product on HIM, instead of her).

In lakorn, when we have a girl we can like and a guy we can like and we like them together, and we DO know they'll end up together, the 1 thing creators need to do is to make them end up together in some kind of way that is exciting. Or entertaining to watch. But if the reality is lakorn producers have many things to do, like fill the time slots and sell the commercials and create jobs for all the supporting cast and crew, the 1 simple thing often gets left behind.

In this lakorn, typically there's 6 extra people we don't care about in 1 scene. There's still good tension in between the main two but for something to happen, the pra'ek must drag the nang'ek out of the room. Then we can count on the fingers how long it's gonna take for at least one of those 6 people to come and interrupt YET AGAIN. Looks like they REALLY needed to employ numerous cast here... So, when this lakorns at least TRIES to dedicate some time to the character's gradual discovering of their feelings, it's commendable.

Else it really is ridiculous for them not being able to talk the basic things through, while all the time living in 1 room. Again, we're talking about dragging obstacling instead of real script writing. Another thing is the first kiss comes after 16 episodes of waiting... and it's fake. Thank you very much.

But now the pra'ek confessed his love. She has not confessed yet, but she doesn't have somebody else, and she does live in same room with him:) Now we finally have some scenes with them together, talking to each other straight. Which is good. That should be from the beginning. But now he confessed already and there's still half of the episodes ahead of us.

It's filled withs stupid jealous-games, more and more screentime for all the side-cast, the main girl finally shows reciprocation to the pra'ek but it gets drowned in all the couple's antagonist's antics and I honestly didn't find any of the side-people watchable, they're like c-grade actors just showing off their untanned skin and freaky colored-contacts (we are in Thailand, so everyone on TV tries to look as light-skinned and light-color-eyed as in/humanly possible:) I admit I found this watch really loong and if its only purpose was being a filler in-between the tv commercials, then for the rest they could just show the commercials uninterrupted and it couldn't be much worse than this. I think I've watched long enough, so before finishing 21th episode I am dropping this, simply as of ZERO interest in seeing any more.
