Don't watch if you want drama
Maybe my favoritism is speaking louder here, but I dare you to say that this is one of the best lakorns I've watched so far.
Yes, it starts slow and even boring at times, so if you are looking for something 100% dramatic, this lakorn is not for you. It follows a mix of comedy, romance and drama well balanced between each other.
The first episodes help us get to know and sympathize with the characters. We get to know their fears, their dreams, their day-to-day challenges, in the end we notice that they are just common characters that you can find out there, with each chapter we get to know a little more about them.
Mark and Yaya's chemistry remains as fresh as it was with Tawan Deard and Kleun Cheewit and I think part of that is because their friendship is pure. They have a connection, affection and respect for each other that makes the whole experience better.
The cast's dynamics were also incredible, so much so that some characters were missed in the last episode.
Tin and Ing. The two have incredible chemistry, and something I liked was the fact that she wasn't a villain (the first lakorn I watched where the actress isn't a big problem); she had her goals, she planned to achieve them, but she never thought about harming Apo in any way, she was a great character.
Some things displeased me, of course, but I believe I'm so numb that disliking one topic doesn't affect the rest of the drama. What irritated me most was the way Din dealt with Mueang in the beginning, but everything led to one path that made us understand the reason behind it. (Although I still don't like the plan very much, it was this plan that led the entire story to the ending it had)
Secondary characters are never supposed to have any depth, they are just there to drive the plot, but I missed Din, Sita, Om and even Aunt Da and Rita in the last episodes where they didn't have as much - or almost no - prominence.
I feared the last episode would be meaningless or rushed, but it was perfect and delicate, a heart-warming ending on a cold day.
For those who started and stopped: I would recommend giving it one more chance. Love at First Night is a light and fun lakorn, perfect for those who are tired of lakorns with revenge themes and want to venture into other genres.
