Well, previous lakorn of Sonya Singha (also with Thanwa) she had the same problem. Way more beautiful actress in the side-role. This time it's extreme, because of Supaporn Malisorn's exceptional charm & grace. Plus, in this she is Thanwa's ex. Crowned beauty queen unites sex appeal of thai Priyanka Chopra with vulnerability and cuteness like Zhang Ziyi. There's no way a man would forget her. Therefore, Sonya Singha's nang'ek is in even more difficult position than usual.

So, the story goes that pra'ek's break-up with the beauty is still pretty recent. He's so busy watching her with her new man he doesn't see a car coming, and that's how he meets nang'ek. Her deal is still mostly with her parents. She shares the same father experience with pra'ek, actually. They both witnessed their father having affairs with other women, both resent the womanizer in their parent. While main guy leaves his rich home to establish himself independent and so scornful of his father's character he refuses to accept single bath from him, main girl still stays with her parents. While he shows integrity and bravery (he rescues strangers from violent thieves), she shows immaturity & haughtiness. She's got no romance experience while he's been through severe heartbreak. The only line she connects to him is her pain over her parents marital problems.

I kind of liked both Thanwa's pra'ek & Sonya Singha's nang'ek with the other people and not with each other. Nang'ek clearly had her guy already in the one portrayed by Andrew Cronin. They seemed so cozy. On the other hand, pra'ek still met with the beautiful girl. And SHE was still sad about him. It made no sense she would break with him in the first place. Even if she was golddigger, she clearly was in love with Thanwa's pra'ek, why she needed to date his dad? It's the same family money. But then we wouldn't have this "drama". Right? So they made both Andrew Cronin's and Supaporn Malisorn's character classic badguys.

Pra'ek starts working for nang'ek's dad, only problem being he is actually son of nang'ek's dad's enemy and main competitor, which is something pra'ek should inform nang'ek's dad about, even if he and his dad parted ways. Nang'ek & pra'ek should actually know each other already if both their dads cross paths often. And in the age of internet, how come one of the dads would NOT know how the other's son looks like?:) There's also heartbreaking scene where pra'ek's father suffers a stroke and would clearly like to reconcile with his son, only he cannot speak straight. The son hides from his sight, leaving only his golddigger girlfriend by his side, whom he knows is actually annoyed with having to take care of a sick man. Well, basic logic never graced the lakornworld.

No real kiss even for Andrew Cronin and his secondary girl.

Also this is monstrose as the episode runtime is double than western drama/hispanic novela and the number of episodes is more than usual k-drama. Clearly I don't wish to spend THAT much time with this... I looked at the other review here and it said: skip it, lol. So, I will:) I like REALLY did not care about this.
