Why I watch it?
First, because I watched so wayree so I think, I must watch the sequel, beside that Kem-mook make appearance in this sequel. I find the synopsis is a little bit spicy where a villain is depicted have masochist abnormality. I want to see how far the villain will be going crazy and I want to know what the background story about th villain too (I like Preaw too, btw). This is my first lakorn watching Pupe btw.

1. Story
If You root to synopsis, You can find that it clearly has angst plot. Noted, watching angst lakorn is not something for finding funny moment. Gun has lost interest about love because of the betrayal of his ex-wife but after He wet Wimala, He could open his heart again. Gun has enemy related his bussiness and about his ex who wanted to take half of his asset after the divorce. Kan and Orn (ex-wife) haven't finished their divorce legally. Orn used Wimala to steal the prove of Orn's embezzlement in Gan's company. Wimala has no choice to obey Orns's order because her Mother was sick and need money to get treatment.
(+)The story development has quick paced and not too draggy in my opinion.
(-)Lakorn has lack of detail story.

Romance:
The development chemistry between the FL and ML is like a roller coaster. Gun seem easily fall in love to Wimala. He has attached his heart to Wimala easily. Wimala didn't seem to have feeling to Gun. For the beginning of their chemistry, it looked a like only Gun who is the one who crazy falling in love and Wimala just accepted what Gun has offered to her. It likes she could accepted Gun because Gun first who love her. But after some episodes, I could see that Wimala begin to fall in love to Gun, though still Gun more dominant. I feel like Wimala fear if she attached her heart to Gun easily she would be disapointed and frustrated even after finding Gun is not as bad as Orn said.
Beside that I think somehow, Gun forgot that He is a widowed and He has a daughter. Normally for the first, Gun should introduce Wi first to Nong Pim but contrary, Gun marry Wi first before introduce her to his Daughter (though I know why Gun have to marry Wi first).
I think Orn is purely evil and she just obsessed to Gun. Unfortunately, She had lack of background why she became the evil one. I will agree if She is called psycho. It will be better if the story added why Orn have disgusting behavior like that. She has no feeling to Marut and Alex but She easily did it with them. I think, earlier She really fall in love to Gun but unfortunately She is unsatisfied what Gun has done to her, even Gun has followed her 'abnormality' behavior.
If You compare the love story Wi-Gun and Prin-Mitha in this lakorn it will be so much contrary.

Drama:
I like the story because the misunderstanding between Gun and Wi don't get too far and long. Still the misunderstanding was happened but it isn't too draggy. But Gun is more quite dramatic and He acted more hurt than Wimala. For the Wi's background story could be said hard enough. She is like a illegitimate daughter but she is still respect and appreciate to her father. I found it is quite rare in drama if the character was born from illegitimate relationship of the parent but still can be good to the parent. Gun has solo life. At least, they should explained a little about Gun's family background even though without flashback.

2. Acting and Character
Pupe as Wimala: Wimala has decent and brave character. She is not the doormat and she could against if she was bullied. She is not standing for something who is easily to lose. But unfortunately, I feel Wimala somehow forced to fall in love to Gun, She did it to not really from heart. The development of her character is seem how finally she could attach her heart sincerely to Gun.
Pupe's acting is not bad. Especially because She has been promoted almost as a nang'ek ofc She has to develop her acting skill for her good.

Mik as Gun : Gun's character is hot temper guy. His mood can be like a roller coaster. I think Gun is really possessive and protective. I could feel when He was throwing his temper. He seems bad because of this . But, it can be understandable for me. In lakorn world, I have met many pra'ek with hot temper character so Gun is not the first. I still enjoyed to follow it. Gun has reason why he is like that at least. I like so much when He took care of Nong Pim. He is such a lovely father but somehow I don't understand why He is more reckless if it came to Wimala.
For Mik's acting, I gave 89/100. He is fit to that kind of character. Before, I have watched him in comedy genre and He is fit too but suprisingly, hot temper Guy is no different, even fit more. I like how his eye could talk about falling in love. I can see clearly, Gun's gaze to Wimala is really someone who is falling in love.

Preaw as Orn: Orn is really pure evil. She didn't have background story why she has slut behavior, especially when She wanted to exploit the Guys. She is so manipulative and very greedy. But, actually She is a good mother but unfortunately because of her obsession, She falls into her own trap. The writer should add the background story of Orn.
Preaw's acting is almost perfect. I gave her 95/100. I cried when she cried thougg she was the one who is creating the mess. I cried when She remembered about her happiness day with Gun and when She cried because She felt guilty after Nong Pim was accidentally shot. Preaw is more fit to be villain actually.

3. Music:
The OST have represented the drama itself. So far, I enjoyed all of OST in the lakorn

4. Rewatch value
I don't have plan to rewatch the story for the beginning after ending.

5. Overall
(+) I can still endure to watch this kind of story. I don't really feel it's too draggy but still, it has dramatic aspect.
(+) If you want throw your emotion, You can watch this one especially the scenes when Gun angry and ofc watching Orn's manipulative action
(+) However, the story is very complicated and there is additional guest role but it's still the story about wimala and Gun.
(-) I admitted the side story couple is more romantic and more have chemistry, so somehow the main couple is like a side couple.
(-) The story can be better if the writer explain the detail of story and add the background story of each main characters.

My other opinions:
-Parin and Mitha just know wimala but they acts like they know Wimala almost all over her live, I think it's quite unreasonable -because they just barely know each other even though they are siblings.
-It's not perfect lakorn but I see nothing wrong to this kind of story. Maybe because I have high tolerable to watch angst lakorn. I still recommend this lakorn.
-The one of the weakness of production whom I cannot tolerate is related the special effect especially when fire scenes. Please, it is very big no.

My ending rates: 7.9
