One of the biggest WTF moments I’ve ever seen in a drama!

I see a lot of people say this was a predictable lakorn, but for me, I think this lakorn had a whole lot of surprises (especially on Episode 14). Overall, it is a decent lakorn and I would give this an 8.5 out of 10. Did I enjoy this lakorn? Yes. Was this lakorn lacking in so many ways? Yes, this could have been so much better if this storyline went on a better direction and had a good balance of romance, mystery (this was so predictable since we were given so many hints of who the villain was early on), and comedy.

If you’re a fan of the leads, give this one a go! But be warned, this is a slow-burn romance type of a drama with an okay plot that just does not make sense (don’t forget the plot holes).

What I liked:
- Although this drama lacked romance and we barely got any FIN moments between the leads, I still loved seeing Masu and Mo together. This is probably my favorite drama of Masu, and I hope to see him in future projects. Mo, I think she is average.
- Friendship between Mong and Lee! First surprise of this lakorn was Lee being lesbian lol Never saw that coming!
- Khun Tin! I’m just having so many second lead syndromes this year. Every girl needs a Khun Tin in their lives.
- Background music and music were also good. Kept a good balance without having the drama being over dramatic.

What I did not like:
- The plot. Honestly, this lakorn had a really promising start and could have been so much better if the main plot was focused on the aftermath of the accident and revenge of Mong (similar to Kleun Cheewit), but the majority of the drama just focused on the office romance between Mong and Jit instead of Mong taking revenge on the person who hit Mon. Office romance was a cute concept, but if a drama is focusing on that, at least give the audience more FIN moments. I found the whole company issues to be boring and draggy. I did like the whole plot twist of Goh seeking for revenge (obviously where company issues come from ), but again, I felt like the plot could have had a good balance. Also, what the heck was that moment in Episode 14? My jaw dropped! I kept questioning, what were they thinking? like why! It just did not make sense to have that plot twist in there.
- The ending felt rushed. Was I happy with the ending? Yes and No. I am very happy that Goh ended up disabled for what he had done to the family who seemed to have helped Goh, but we never got to find the reason for his dad’s suicide. Not only that, I wanted Goh to regret his actions when he finds out the “truth” about the suicide or who actually cheated on his family business, but I guess that will forever be a mystery, just like that one lady who helped Goh.

See you in the next drama/lakorn!
