Too Boring, Too Long

The actress does a pretty nice job playing both twins, but at times when she’s back to being Sina, some of her mannerisms and personality cross into Siriya. The convoluted plot all boils down to essentially a scorned woman’s revenge. Siriya’s shooting, the death of Pipop and Kritt’s father, the company’s embezzlement are the doing of Pipop’s vengeful and angry wife. I kind of have sympathy for Nattaya. Your husband, who wooed you and proclaimed that he loved you, after 20+ years of marriage keeps a young mistress and has a child with her. Pipop, even though everyone loves him and says he’s a good man, however has a mistress, who based on the child’s age, was probably only 18 o 19 years old when the affair started and he maybe in his 40s. That knowledge is pretty icky. The men in this lakorn (Pawinee’s husband—the grandfather, Wiset – Paradee’s husband, Chet, and Pipop) are all cheaters and some with mistresses and illegitimate children. So, it’s hard to think that any women would want to settle down with the men in this lakorn, because based on the track record, the men, including Athirat and Kritt have a high percent chance of being unfaithful and bringing home pregnant mistresses.

The 31 episodes, even only at 45 minute running time, is too long. Flashbacks to conversations/events that happened maybe just five minutes ago are used too frequently and they don’t contribute much to the story telling; possibly they’re just to fill time. Maybe because the actress has to play two different characters, but there’s not much chemistry between Sina and Athirat. They do spend some time together, but I don’t really see them as being attracted to each other and in love. Forget about kissing, because there are zero, zip kissing on the lips. It’s totally unbelievable that two young, healthy, attractive people who haven’t seen each other for a while, in love, reconcile, propose marriage, walk on a secluded beach, and the only kiss we get is on the forehead. What in the world?

After the first 2-3 episodes, I was pretty much bored with the rest of the drama. I have very little sympathy or interest in any of the characters. I am not a fan of the underlying message that as women/wives/girlfriends, they must be saints and accept that men will cheat and bring home mistresses and other children. If the woman did not sign up for a polygamous marriage, she can kick that SOB to the curb.

Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
My mama came from a softer generation
Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face

Go and fix your makeup girl it's just a break-up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart
– Miranda Lambert, Mama’s Broken Heart, 2011
