Krist Perawat wearing pink helmet with cat ears is something I won't long forget:D

Mook Worranit is way less charming, of course. I found some of her previous series almost unwatchable and this time she portrays character that is not very likeable (or at least on first glance). Finding new self-fulfilment in stupid social "media" and finding NEW BOYFRIEND after moving to another place did not exactly win me on her side. She deserved worse than teasing from Mint, to whom she was still pretty susceptible, boyfriend smoyfriend.

This series actually got the feelings a bit off-tuned in general. In one scene the grandma makes "joke" by telling really harsh things to her granddaughter, that should seriously hurt her. Then she laughs it off, that it was for a "dramatic effect only". I think I wouldn't be able to laugh at that. Also we have scenes where Mint apologies to Be, but the thing that is really anticipated here is Be's apology to Mint. For everything. I felt that bringing those back together would not be easy even if the "nang'ek" had her head set straight since episode 1. Instead, she keeps acting like a dimwitted c*w, while he remains unexplicably patient with her, and even flirt-ish. His character also didn't make much sense, except he was planning some kind of terrible revenge, or smth.

There is another girl dangerously close to Mint and Be doesn't appreciate this danger AT ALL. Instead, she still brags about new boyfriend, who is "way better and rich"... If she didn't learn her life lesson by now, I'm afraid 10-episode series is not enough. No wonder other reviews say it's rushed. As if that's not enough of 2-girls-competing-for-1-guy, there is a second couple, or rather threesome, doing the same. Also they do things that normally would completely set a person off but here, it gets brushed by.

Soon, I realized the flashback scenes were actually way better... It was the present line that deserved to be axed!:) I was asking myself: "Does she have no conscience at all?" "Does he have some terrible revenge plan?" Else, you don't get to see leading characters acting like this.

I know it's supposed to be a funny show, but sincerely it has no humorous moments, except that one girl's bedroom is decorated with Off Jumpol's face (if the guy was really there, maybe this show WOULD be funny?) and of course the cute flashbacks... but that's another timeline.

Real kiss is still rare on thai TV, and even more so a nice bedscene. Still, watching it I was afraid that Mint has promised himself to get even with Be, or to deal with her in some way. And to do so without lying to her once. Well, with her intelligence, it was not needed:)

That's why it looked like to me but nevermind. Let's say during this series the behavior of both sides of the main duo remained unfathomable to me. In the final there was like 15 minutes left for them to get things sorted, so THAT is why the reviews said it was rushed, LOL.

Besides Worranit, there's also Nara Thepnupha. I remember this girl well. She has REAL charm when she dances. Real talent (I noticed her already in other roles, even as just an antagonist). There is a folk-singer contest here at one episode, so at least this much chance for Nara to shine, she is cute, not only acting-out-cute, like Mook Worranit's character.

As for Krist Perawat, he is VERY cute. But seriously, he needs a role with more spunk. SOTUS made him a pink-milk drinking gay, this show a pink-shirt wearing nicey boy, fawning for years over 1 girl. But you can notice some of his facial expressions would fit a way rougher guy.

Trivia: One scene Mook Worranit's character is watching 'Secret Seven (2017)' on TV.
