I won't depict the story here as no one wants to know that beforehand and I don't even consider it important in a lakorn. Yes, there I said it:)

Thing is, this lakorn has absolutely beautiful end credits (mind you, not the opening credits) accompanied by totally dreamy song (soft and subtle, different from the usual songs most lakorns use). The end credits consist of a collage (not the totally-spoilery bits like seen in opening credits) from the lakorn scenes, or at least you'd expect that. I for one started watching this lakorn as so many other lakorns: not hooked at first, but waiting to see when they take me - through whichever story - to those scenes seen in the ending credits, the dreamy bits, the kiss, etc:)

But when it came to episode right before last, and the scenes were still not there (instead the whole thing was filled with a load of ballast I fast-forwarded through) I started to worry that the most of the ending credit scenes came from some kind of promotional video and not the actual lakorn itself. 'Cause they sure did not correlate much with the story.

When mentioning videos. You know how in each lakorn you have a couple people start shipping and they make a lot of music videos devoted to that couple? We don't seem to have that couple here. We have two sisters, one is played by actress completely average in looks and acting skills and for the other, we have the exact opposite. How much opposite? The fanmade videos answer this best: they're all practically shipping HER alone. As she's lacking enough chemistry and story with any guy there (not her fault) and she's NOT the one playing the insane sister, the MVs consist mainly of her scenes - no matter whom with - and her acting. I say it's most extraordinary: what a compliment for such a young actress! The recurring praises of her performance also form the majority of general comments for Nari Rissaya, on fan-forum. So if she got you interested you should definitely watch this lakorn.

But was it enough for me? Sadly not. I want the same as always: I want romance!! Surprise, surprise. Watching lakorn, I want romance, lots of romance, good romance. Usually I get loads of ballast to skip through - I'm used to that - but here I did not even get the stuff I was skipping TO:)) Not much, that is. I won't spoiler you. So did the last episode finally deliver?? Not telling:-p
