Aaaamzing OST

I remembered watching this lakorn when it was Bee and Chakrit and it was definitely one of my favorite lakorn during that time, but there was also a lot of flaws in the plot. I personally love Jes and Esther in Leh Ratree so this reunion was a must for me.

I know a lot of people aren't too fond of Esther but her acting always come through. You're either a fan of her or not.

Jes on the other hand still have a lot to do and learn especially when it come to expressing emotions, anger, hurt, and pain. There was definitely some scene where I needed more from him and it just didn't delivered. Although I will say Jes was able to expressed sadness in his eye so that was good enough.

I kind of wish they prolonged the romance between Panin and Risa like it felt so short. IMO the time they spent together was not enough to even build up the angst of the painful memory and love between the two. I wish we got to see more of how the misunderstanding led Panin to sleep with Risa and how this led to Risa being hurt because Panin deceived her. The beginning of them all just felt too rush.

For some reason I felt like the love was lacking. I couldn't really feel the love between Risa and Panin (again this could be because I needed more romance of them in the beginning). Sometime I have to question are they even in love? Or did they ever even fell in love. Also maybe its just me but I feel like there was little to no scene of Panin and Risa love blooming again after six years.

I have to at least mention the dad...I absolutely, absolutely hate the dad from both version!! The dad from the old version make my blood boil that I really just want to strangled him. The dad from this version is tolerable but man I hated the dad character like he is one selfish ass human being.

If I remembered correctly in the old version ML found out about his son in such a dumb way, honestly FL was like "Pete is your son". So thank gah they didn't do that in this version. Panin facial expression when he put one and one together was amazing. Jes really nailed that expression for me. I just love that they created a situation where Panin found out he's the father.

Overall let me just say this, Thai lakorn has been a huge disappointment for me. It's either great castings, but the plot, script, and direction of the story just fall through. Although this lakorn didn't fulfilled me with the emotions, feelings and satisfying storyline, it is definitely a remake that I will find myself watching again instead of the original one. I am just glad that they wrapped this version up so much better than the original version, although I wish we got to see more of Panin and Risa after six years and more family time but it is a good ending.

Oh and before i forget, the OST, omg it was what sold me to watch this drama.
