The story is a bit of a mess. The characters will make rash decisions multiple times that don't really make sense and the acting of some of the characters is a little...off. But I couldn't stop watching it. This show is actually quite accurate to how people behave in real life -- they don't really make sense half the time. There's also a Love Hexagon involved, which is the main reason that the story suffers; there's not enough time to focus on a single couple since all of them are interconnected in some way, and for something that's only ten episodes, it really shows. My biggest gripe with the story however is that the game "I Am Your King" barely plays a part. Sure, it stirs some things up at the beginning, but it otherwise doesn't affect much. As for the ending; I see a lot of people bash on the ending, but it feels like something you'd actually see. Sometimes, everything is just confusing and uncertain.

On to the actors. There were some that were obviously better than others. The actor who played Tar was fine, but his screen time was relatively short compared to the other members of the "main cast", so if he acted badly it wasn't nearly as noticeable. The actor who played Pun was probably one of the better ones in the show, but he could really work on his crying face and tears as well as his...ahem..."getting turned on" face. Half the time during romantic scenes, it seemed like he was in pain, which was awkward to see or he was otherwise very stiff. Then there's the actor for Sib. Of the four members of the main cast, he was probably the worst one. His delivery was fine sometimes, but other times it came off as dispassionate. I would've given the score for acting somewhere between a 6 or a 7 if it wasn't for the actor that played Em. Even though the character Em was a bit polarizing at times, especially at the beginning, he had by far the best character development in the story. The actor was just so good at portraying everything that Em did and said. Very believable acting when he was angry, happy, or sad or any other emotion. You could definitely see the emotions in his eyes. He really knows how to get the waterworks going. I really hope I see him again in another Thai drama; I'd like to see him get really far.

Lastly, the music. I personally thought it was very fitting at certain times. I might've rated it too high, but I'm a sucker for good piano scores.

In the end, it's a series with a lot of flaws regarding the story, but for some reason I just couldn't stop watching it.
