Nice & Easy Watch

This lakorn proves that opposites attract each other.

I have started this drama when the subber first started subbing it, later on I completely forgot about & marathoned it in the last 2 weeks and completed the lakorn.

This lakorn has an amazing cast, not just James Ji , Toey, amazing veteran actors, guest stars including Louis Scott, Great, and many more we are familiar with from the other Thai lakorns.

Beyond this point, my review contains spoilers.


Mata & Pennung they are the opposite polar, Mata grew up in a more free household without anyone putting pressure on her, she has a gay father & lady boy auntie who she time to time calls ma, her mother & father is divorced, she has a half brother. Her dad owns a cabaret, she grew up with love, and she is surrounded with other lady boys & gays who works in her dad's cabaret.

Pennung , the only son of a motivational speaker author & speaker dad & former actress mother, his dad comes from an unprivileged background & wants the best for his son, he grew up in a strict household, where everything is planned for him.

His dad decides everything for him.

Ma is more weak, father is the dominant character.

"You can send your kids to best schools, give them the best, but you can not change their destiny or luck"

well I understand Pennung in away, my sister & I grew up in a family where everything was decided for us. (not to the extend like Pennung's dad picked Phaeng as his future wife), we had to study hard, no time for fun as if we had fun outside, we couldn't beat others to enter the best unis.

All work no fun.

if you think logically both Pennung's & Mata's family environment is not normal. (not a normal family) lucky enough that both grew up as normal healthy individuals

Not only Pennung, Mata weird family environment, we can also add Trai, Phaeng to this list.

James Ji, he still looks so cute, I wanted to stroke his hair at one point instead of Mata.

James Ji & Toey had a natural chemistry, and Toey fit into Mata perfectly.

There are some medical terms, some might find it difficult to understand.

I also liked Mata's best friend, everyone including her rooted their relationship from day 1, even when Mata & Pennung didn't know themselves they are in love, people around them supported them..

There's a bit of jealousy & problems but that is within the family of Pennung

No 3rd parties trying to break them apart, no crazy ex, no R

easy to watch and enjoy.

I don't think I'll rewatch it, I enjoyed it but I don't see a rewatch value.
