I've just watched this for the second time and I've spent the whole time swearing and not under my breath. The story could have been so good had the main character had time to see the error of his ways and truly redeem himself, but he didn't and I hate that it seemed to condone physical and mental abuse of women. If a 12 month stint in a temple, (in order to understand why his behaviour was so deplorable), had been included in the story, I could have happily given the story praise and a high score - at least it would have made his redemption believeable. As usual, the sweet, handsome, second male lead loses out to the equally handsome but evil male lead. It really angers me that the female lead's father knew exactly what sort of person the male lead was and yet still handed her to him on a platter. On top of that, his parents and others treated his behaviour as a joke and encouraged him to chase after her and win her back, laughing at his rules. There is no excuse for any male to treat any female that way and frankly, I was almost as angry that she continued to be virtually brainwashed by him to accepting him back. Her character was weak and foolish and by the end, I was almost yelling at the screen, telling her that she deserved to be treated that way. I find my reaction totally unacceptable and can't believe that I could even be tempted to think that way. I gave the acting a fairly high score - Push, Esther and the others all played their parts well. Regarding the characters, I must praise the young actor who so convincingly played the young Sibtis, but I really had a hard time believing that the lovely young man grew up into the monster he later became, he was that good. I have no opinion about the young girl who played young Prikkang, because I spent all my time criticizing their choice as she looked absolutely nothing like Esther. The music was typical lakorn music, not particularly memorable. I really only watched this again because it is on Netflix and probably won't watch it again, it makes me too angry. Despite the happy ending, you know that a tiger truly doesn't change its stripes and suspect that at some stage in the future, she will regret her decision, but of course, that's only in my head. I will honestly recommend anyone to watch this, if only to see how not to treat others.
