Okay... this one I had slightly a problem with, because of the cast. See, I love Pitchaya Chaowalit, SHE is nang'ek for me and I dissagree whenever she is cast as support. Someone like Nune Woranuch cannot measure up to her. I seriously wished their roles in this lakorn should switch. 31 year old Nune would be a better fit for the role of rich daughter who was still unmarried and her well connected parents had to look for a suitor for her. Not the lovely 23 year old Pitchaya.
Romance is nevertheless enjoyable thanks to Pong Nawat, he was at his prime around time he shooted this (Ngao Asoke, Proong Nee Gor Ruk Ter...), though I couldn't help but cheering the other guy more (it's Anuchit Sapunpohng! he was never a SECOND lead to ME:) I liked how nang'ek was calm and patiently explained things to pra'ek, though he acted like aggresive weirdo and was crazy jealous since day 1. What I liked a bit less were plentiful scenes with Ice Apitsada PLUS her friend who were also both interested in pra'ek, and did share equal screentime with nang'ek to say the least. While nang'ek of this is not the loud & screaming type (which I appreciated) it cannot be said about the other girls.
The story of a fake marriage first looks like it will come to an end too quickly, as it's all solved by episode 8/20 but then a new element is introduced. A child. Pra'ek blatantly uses the child to keep nang'ek with him and to keep postponing the pre-negotiated divorce. He even lies to her that the child is his, not caring that it makes him look like irresponsible player. Just anything to make her stay. Result being, this lakorn originally had just the nang'rai who was annoying. Now even an annoying kid is added to it. I'd say adding real child was not needed when we had already enough people (like the nang'rai, nang'rai's friend, or pra'ek) with childish behavior. Result being, at half the series, I already wanted it to end. As if they wanted to appease me, they put romantic scene in... The kiss is a camera angle, then there is a hinted bedscene (off screen), but nang'ek is still in position where pra'ek's elder doesn't accept her. She still keeps thinking, pra'ek first didn't see nang'ek worthy of his brother, now he wants her for herself?
Episode 12... The side characters keep plotting to separate the main couple. Which is tiring enough. The other thing is I don't even care whether the main couple stays together. Perhaps if Pong got paired with Pitchaya... Alas, no.
