Has Potential, But..... Lack in Depth

It has potential. A single father who struggles to support his children. And when he meets his lover, they survive together thru ups and downs. However, let me tell you that the biggest issue from this lakorn is SOUL.

This lakorn lacks soul in almost every scene, which I regret the most. There are many problems with the cycle: problem-solved-happy-problem-solved-happy, again & again, but what I really feel is just BLAND. Also too many coincidences which makes me think “ok, don’t worry, there’ll be miracle for this problem.” Also when (supposed to be) romantic scenes, I don’t feel like ‘awww sweeet’, warm, lovely, etc. Bland. I wonder whether it’s due to the actors only, or part of it is the production team that doesn’t give enough soul/emotion to the scenes and doesn’t explore the characters’ emotion. Fyi, I don’t need passionate/lustful romance. Light sweet moments, deep talks, helpful to each other, staring each other deeply, that’s enough for me, as long as they explore the emotion. I’m also fine with those evil 3rd wheel, evil mother in law, etc. it’s just that I’m not emotionally involved with the plot :(

Surprisingly, it still deserves 7.5 from me. Things I like:
-it's getting better at last 5 eps.
- strong & mature FL. To date a widower, especially when he already has kids, isn’t that easy. ML should think of others, not just his gf. The gf should be ready not to be his 1st priority in his life. & yeah, she’s ready with that. She always understands her bf’s condition. That’s why, no matter how hard the problems, how evil the 3rd wheel & other parties, they can face it together, no misunderstandings between them. It makes this lakorn isn’t stressful.
- The other 3 couples are interesting to follow.

Light and Enjoyful Drama

This lakorn has all the “lakorn checklist”: fake/forced marriage, annoying + loud-screaming + evil-eye antagonists, rich+spoiled children, awesome+breathtaking castles (yeah I can’t call it “house” lol), too dramatic, etc. I usually can’t get along with such lakorn, but try this one bcoz of the leads, & surprisingly I could enjoy this one!
Things I like:
- Chemistry of both leads are cuteeeee, love them, especially when ML teases FL & she smiles shyly, aww. And ML’s character is warm, mature, kinda family man.
- Love story of Pink & Wut is also interesting. At first I wondered why Pink insisted on marrying Nuk & stayed in that house, later I could guess the reason.
- The strong characters of the siblings. I usually can’t endure seeing the protagonist being bullied by the antagonist. But in here, I enjoy so much when both parties argue. Bcoz when the antagonists bully/threaten the protagonists, almost everytime the protagonists are able to talk back/challenge in elegant ways, & finally they can win. Hahaha. It just satisfies me.
- Enjoy the whole stories. Only some scenes I usually skip: scenes of that crazy evil family. I skimmed it just to understand the story.

Things I don’t really like:
- after what Khun Jee had done, the ending for her isn’t really satisfying. It’s just too easy for her.
- unfortunately, the ending is so so. wish I could see Pin knowing the truth that Neung just pranked her. Also wish the leads had more deep talks after the misunderstandings they had.

I’ll recommend this if you need light, cute, not too stressful dramas.

It's Okay

I decide to watch it just to see Jes&Vill, but from reviews here, i've anticipated that both aren't really main leads here. It's more of a family drama rather than romance.
Some people also say the story isn't good. But i should prove it myself to decide whether it's good/not. And all i can say, this drama is okay, not that bad, but not that stunning.

The best thing of this drama is the family of Nam Ngeun-Kaimook-Fahsai-Sailom. I adore them so much although they aren't real family by blood. They live a happy & warm family. This family is much more relatable with us rather than Ekarin's crazy rich family. It just tears me up when this family have to separate.

The worst thing? Could be Pawinee. She's too cruel, too much, too dramatic. And after all she's done, i'm not satisfied with the ending. An evil woman like her should've been punished much more severly than this.

Nice Investigation-Action Drama

1st of all, i must tell you that it's DEFINITELY NOT a lovey-dovey drama. But if you wanna try investigation, murder, action lakorn, i'll recommend this. As an amateur in this kinda genre, i enjoyed this so much, i got hooked with the story. In other action lakorns, the ML usually is a strong man, a hero, able to solve any problems, respected by many people, etc. But in this lakorn, he becomes the accused one instead. I was curious of how he prove his innocence, or... it's indeed true that he's involved in those cases? That's why i didn't wanna skip any scenes to understand the whole story.

For the romance, it's weird that the 2nd couple is more romantic & attractive than the main leads, lol. There are kissing scenes for 2nd couple, but only hugging & holding hands for the main leads, they're calm. But it's not a problem for me, actually.

I love this show.

Was here for the romance only, but it turned out I enjoyed the whole show: the aviation things, romance, all the characters.

- Romance: yes it's not everyone's cup of tea. Minimum skinship, awkward, etc. However the simplicity somehow makes a bigger impact. And it works to me. Love every hand touch, deep stare, little talk. I even replayed such scenes just to feel the butterflies again and again. Also enjoy the dynamics of the leads' love story. ML tries to be better in current relationship, a pilot is surely busy but he tries to keep in touch with everyone, especially the close one. FL is a bit inferior as she's older than ML, struggles in socializing (while ML's is friendly), and she's a new person entering his life (compared to his ex). Don’t give up easily for your love life. Failed, try again. Fight, reconcile. Misunderstand, communicate. Well, I wish they had more deep talk, especially after misunderstanding, but then again, she struggles in speaking up her mind. For the other "couples", it's also interesting.
- Aviation: I don't specifically like aviation things, but this whole new knowledge throughout the drama caught my attention and kept me seated and didn't even skip a second. Even I enjoy the Japanese accent in speaking English, oh it's a new thing to me (while many people complain about it). I guess it's about preference, like some people aren't used to hear Thai accent, Chinese accent, etc.
- Enjoy the characters & their story : ML, FL, ML's ex, FL and ML's co-workers, etc. Honorable mention, Capt Murai. I thought he's just a usual strict senior, in fact, he's adorable in his way. He worries about his juniors :)
- Love FL's hair style and outfit, casual and isn’t perfectly styled (loose shirt, sometimes messy hair), yet really beautiful. Nakamura Anne is beautiful :)
