I'm kinda disappointed to be writing a review like this because I really wanted to watch a good lakorn with Pong (the main actor) since I had tried to watch a previous lakorn of his that I couldn't finish. It's not like I expected a masterpiece out of this, but I thought at least I would love Pong's character and enjoy this lakorn based on the premise. Not only did I not get that, but Pong's character was one of my least favorite characters out of the whole thing and oh boy was it eye-rolling to get through everything.

This is pretty much your typical slap/kiss lakorn. You have an rich, arrogant, possessive ML who believes the FL is a hoe but still regards her as his property. The FL is a poor, noble, righteous, hard-working lady who just wants to help her family. I'd even add that she's passive too, although there are points in the lakorn where she's not (more on that later). There's a jealous bitchy ex-girlfriend, multiple men who fall for the FL, childhood friend who's been in love with FL for X amount of years, secret love-child, secret pregnancy that everyone but the ML knows about, sibling drama, a lot of miscommunication between the leads and forced marriage. The only cliche that this doesn't have, which was the saving grace, is a bitchy mother-in-law; instead the MIL is quite fleshed out and you understand her motive for the things she does even if you don't agree.  Actually also the servants weren't annoying, and I enjoyed their antics. Maybe it'd be different story if the MIL was the real MIL, but other than that the story doesn't offer much new. Bear in mind, I do enjoy these cliches to some degree (otherwise I wouldn't watch these kinds of lakorns) but here it just didn't work for me. More times than not I was eye rolling at the stuff the characters were doing and how the story presented itself. The story started out ok in the beginning but near the end it became a mess and I ended up fast-fowarding until the final episode. The main couple spent more time angry than lovey dovey with each other, and really only got together in the last 30 min of the last ep. The only good thing about this was the character development for some and how everything came together in the end (last ep was not bad, so I don't feel completely like I wasted my time).

Let's start with the ML. I didn't like him and I didn't understand why he seemed to like the FL before he even knew her (ML instalove magic I guess).  He's very jealous and that hindered him a lot where instead of communicating with the FL, he accuses her of cheating on him and wanting to see other men. Like wth? He knows she's noble but I guess somewhere in his head he still thinks she's a hoe. He believes his ex-gf's lies about her (even tho he knows the FL and her don't like each other) and doesn't do anything to protect the FL from the ex-gf. There's a lot more that bugs me about him, but basically I don't think he's good for the FL and although I believe in his love for her, his constant jealousy and miscommunication doesn't make me believe they'd last long.
The FL was okay here. The actress played her part well, and I liked that she had dignity and class. My only issue with her was that I wish she had more backbone; there was a part in the beginning where she burns the clothes of the crazy ex when the ex intervenes in the house, and it got me hoping she'd do more things like that. Unfortunately she just cried a lot, which is a natural reaction for the stuff the ML did to her, but it was just very passive and I wished she stood up for herself more.  
Didn't like 2nd ML, was too close in FL's space although some of it was her fault for not outright rejecting him.
Didn't like the bro. Waste of space. Cause the FL to force marry to ML because of his gambling. When FL cries over ML later on when she's pregnant, he gets the great idea to kill the ML so she can move on (major eye-roll here).
Crazy ex-gf was terrible and pissed me off more than how these kinds of characters usually annoy me. She should go to hell since she wished for the little girl to die soon. Tried to kill the FL's unborn baby and overall a very hateful and manipulative bitch. Her friend is awful as well. Didn't really like ML's bro in the beginning cuz he was very obsessive with the FL even when she outright says she don't like him. Gets better when he snaps out of it and becomes better.

Due to the terrible plot and crappy characters, I'd pretty much checked out of this lakorn in the last couple of episodes and fast-forwarded to see how it ended. I don't remember the music. I also definitely wouldn't recommend nor rewatch this unless you want to waste your time.
