Revenge lakorn is a very old genre. Reading this lakorn's synopsis, it's very typical story, practically a general description of this genre/trope. This is (of course) a remake of something from 12 years ago, when the dated story was more excusable, and the cast hotter. Here, we have a funny scene right in episode 1 where pra'ek shoves one of his side-girlfriends to the arms of his fatty friend, as he sees his main girlfriend coming. And I thought: Actually the fatty is cute. He seems nice person, the girl is better off, LMAO.

First pra'ek & nang'ek's encounters are morelike crazy comedy. He doesn't know about her father, yet. Also pra'ek's chubby friend adds to the atmosphere (even though it's unexplicable why he should be friends with pra'ek, except of him hoping to get some of his girls). I thought the first episodes were still rather cute.

Slap/kiss begins too, nang'ek kicks and hits pra'ek each time so at least he should know she's not a girl to kiss strange guys. Him on the other hand doesn't show much morals, obviously he's not the one to restrain, with her and other girls. Nevertheless there is no kiss scene that would have a good (read visible) kiss. Which doesn't bring much improvement to this old genre.

Not only I didn't find the main cast top notch (they're far from "Dream" guy, lol) all the scenes featuring the side-cast only I wanted to skip entirely. And Michelle Behrmann's "kiss" scenes were just as fake as the lead one's. The story gets old after several episodes (no wonder there, as it's old from the beginning:) so only some fun & skinship could save this thing. Instead, we watch scene after scene with various attempts to fake it (at best, they do the kiss right beside the mouth).

As for the story, it's not very romantically enjoyable, because the main guy is an ass (someone commented in the below section that he's "like a mix of his father who was a drunk violent and jealous husband with the FL’s father who had a bunch of women"), the main girl unexplicably loves him after a couple of encounters and therefore lets him walk over her. Also she keeps listening to Tassawan Seneewongse's side-character, who has looks of wise kind aunty but everytime she opens her mouth only venom comes out. It's a mess of a script and no one of the whole cast (male or female) is my type.

In short, there's nothing to enjoy. And I'm no longer patient with this.
