I wasn't very excited about this one, seeing it has 34 episodes filled with Son Yuke (never was my type and never will be) and Vill Wannarot (I only started liking her when she reached at least 25 years of age), as their pairing I have witnessed it in 'Kaew Lorm Petch' already and it did not impress me. The dated generic background music typical for (now) almost decade old television also adds to the viewing experience feeling more draggy.
It has a stupid amnesia plot that makes the pra'ek act like a twat.
Vill Wannarot is very annoying as her island self, coming to the big city for the first time. The way she talks, also the way she looks, and cries half the time, with wet nose and mouth that looks like some kind of animal's muzzle... Like I mentioned, I only started to like her better when she got older and more sophisticated. But in this lakorn, she is supposed to "transform into sensual theater actress Wanida". Well, she's got wide lips, close to those she has deep vertical lines for someone so young, so she can look a bit coarse. That's why "sensual", probably.
The whole thing of course doesn't make any sense as she could have just returned to her island where she was able to live happily without having any money (ain't that a dream life? lol). Yet she stays to struggle at the bottom of the big city. First she starts off as maid, being abused, then slowly works her way up. All this of course only to meet her pra'ek again, who is not even worth it, for he... looks like Son Yuke:-) Okay seriously, he's just not worth it in general. Plus there's Nat Devahastin so who would look elswhere (like the Egg Butsakon's character... that girl is hard to understand: probably just has to follow her script, to be the nang'rai).
I watched Kaew & Boonma, as they are supposed to be "of the funniest secondary couples ever" and their "first meeting totally romantic and charming". Okay, the FIRST meeting occurs in episode 14, she is crossdressed looking as a male thief, and kicks him in the crotch. Now there you have your most romantic and charming meeting. It wasn't even that very funny. Also there comes Marasee, much appreciated character, wearing flaming red lipstick. I tried to watch this for her at least, as she's supposed to be great. See, what reading other reviews does to me? If not for those, I'd probably dropped 'Sao Noi' way earlier and wouldn't get to epi of such number, wouldn't first bear being bored THIRTEEN times. Okay, the 15th episode IS a bit better;-) There, I finally started having some fun, and it really was thanks to Kaew & Boonma (it's true they were both really attractive besides funny, unlike the leads) and other side characters, hardly the leads. I'm sick of watching Vill Wannarot crying. Or pining over the amnesiac guy, stupidly calling him 'Siam', still.
With such annoying nang'ek, it would be understandable to start siding with the nang'rai, LOL. I started to have more understanding for Egg Butsakon's character later on, but it was a pitty she didn't turn more towards good and did not find happiness with Nat Devahastin's character... I was inclined toward this couple way more because it had an attractive guy, LOL. But their "dramatic finish" (in front of many people watching) made me laugh, morelike. Meanwhile, the Vill Wannarot's nang'ek changes her hairstyle into mature looking one, starts wearing flashy lipstick and updates her behavior, but it's not all for the better... Nevertheless, I enjoyed this at least a BIT more since 17th episode on, so if anything I can recommend to be patient with this lakorn in early stages.
...And then in later stages, too. As it all drags for a VERY long time:) It's all apparently derived from 'Little Mermaid' story, including the stage variations of that title with nang'ek staring reproachfully at pra'ek who is sitting in the audience. That is even repeated several times over (perhaps the scriptwriter was afraid that someone would STILL not get it, lol). Vill Wannarot sings the annoying title ballad in full several times over, too... In the end, I give still generous perfect average rating due to being practically worn out to death by 34 episodes of a material that would be MORE than sufficient for 14 (I didn't see THAT much of a character development). I have no strenght left for more criticizing, LOL.
