We have 33 years old Weir, and 27 years old Thisa Varitthisa, portraying a mother of a schoolboy aged child. I don't remember her from any lakorn before this one. Right in episode 1, there is a "Weir trade-mark" scene showing his huge armpit sweat stains, here for understandable reason after climbing a rope ladder with her on a top of him. Unlike the main actress, him of course I remember from previous lakorns over a decade. Only I don't recall a single one in which he was NOT visibly sweating, lol.
Since episode 2, pra'ek and nang'ek (who just met each other) establish live-in relationship with him being constantly shirtless and her handling his medicine cabinet and his accounting, lol. By episode 4, pra'ek is in love:)) Still, he doesn't know her real name, yet.
The kid is tiny bit more on the annoying side, but still managable. The pra'ek-nang'ek dynamics is cute & hot on the right level, from the start. Thisa compliments Weir where he's lacking and vice versa (I always say Weir is so ugly he's practically cute... But he can be expressive with his eyes and portray feeling clearer than most doll-like pretty people:) so their chemistry definitely works.
The whole "action plot" with bad guys trying to kill nang'ek and other "criminal stuff" is of course quite stupid and is best ignored. Let's just say nang'ek is stuck on the island with pra'ek for whatever reason, lol. I tried my best not to laugh during the "thrilling" sequences and just enjoy the romance. Weir is of course in a very manly role. He never portrays sissy boys:) By episode 7, his feelings are no longer unreciprocated. But there is only so much time they can keep prolonging her stay on his island for.
Back on the mainland, Weir starts wearing a suit, Thisa wears more sophisticated outfits and more makeup. More side-people are getting in between and both sides are more jealous. But no matter what, Weir's pra'ek never stops being the protective knight. After all, nang'ek IS surrounded by crazy & dangerous people, now even more ridiculous in more civilized surroundings. Nevertheless, Weir & Thisa scenes remain enjoyable. Pairing these two was a good pick from the lakorn producers, though a rare one. I realized how much I got used to it that onscreen couples are usually not this compatible.
By 3/4 of the series, I found it too much crime/action filled. Characters appeared in extreme situations every now and then. Feelings then should get revealed. And addressed. Instead, we quickly move to next action sequence, and the next. What I must also mention is though, that when the main couple DID have a little space for themselves, their scenes were very enjoyable. Even the female did what I wanted in many lakorns to see, and didn't:) And their onscreen kiss wasn't so horrendous as the second couple's (Hana Lewis should rather skip that scene if she wasn't ready for it).
The ending was very sweet & oldschool romantic, if a bit more prolonged than necessary. And there's a beach scene... where pra'ek bites his nang'ek, LOL. Never seen such thing, just how comfortable must have Weir be with Thisa, to shoot such thing lol.
