Mario's gaze is worth taking the time to watch this Lakorn

The story is interesting and I liked the alternate realities and time jumps. To put it simple, Buang Banjathorn is about a woman who is betrayed by her husband of 2 years and retreats to the house she inherited from her father where she finds an old beautiful bed which transports her back in time to the period of World War II. There she meets Laoperng and love blossoms! Apart from this the Lakorn is nothing out of the ordinary really character development wise. They are all so utterly simple, basic, elemetary essential wearing their hears in their sleeves the entire time it was both a joy and an inrritating agony to watch.

Mario was great! His eyes are always so sweet and kind. I don't think I have ever watched a Lakorn with him as a male lead where his eyes were not so beguiling expressive. As Laoperng he is the epitome of a man with a high degree of honour and chivalry, most unduly uncommon nearly most of the time in any era! Indeed a very sweet and principled lead!

Mai was okay. She's a good actress. Here it felt like her talent was wasted. Either that or the writers did intend to write Praenuan like a statue that always portrays the same contemplative emotions or lack of them. Praen is also constantly monocordic even when what's required is a bit of spunk and attitude by kicking Khed out of her house and out of her life instead of just plainly telling him to leave when he's going to keep ignoring her and act like the a boss doing what he pleases to his subordinates instead of a worthy Man who respects his wife's wishes! Sometimes it's really hard to get Praen's attitudes as her proactive manner scumbs to her reactive nature at every occasion, unfortunately!

Khed is exasperating, irritating, maddening, infuriating, irksome, vexing, galling, vexatious, displeasing, pesky, aggravating, infernal idiotic! Honestly! Why does he refuse to get it? Why? He doesn't love Prae. He wants her, he's possessive and a pain. Above all he betrayed her and then he kept being there all the time! Please writers, could you not have written a male character less repetitive? Someone with a bit of common sense rather than the emotional overlord who wants to keep his wife at all costs regardless of her wishes, despite her wishes to be divorced. Was he born in the wrong century or is he experiencing a constant mental regression into feudal times?

Thongriew and Sanpaeng love story was sweet, really sweet but Ruengrayub was a Cruella Deville reincarnation backwards minus the dalmatians. Truly annoying but that's something one gets used to watching Lakorns and it adds symbiosis. There is good and there is evil. Both coexist but in the end, good prevails, yay!

The end was a thorn but the story was good and the Lakorn is really worth watching for the story and for Mario!
