Editing is terrible but show is still good once you understand these few things

As someone who has never read the novel, watching this show was very confusing at times due to the terrible editing and cutting of some scenes & flashbacks. Truly, I've never seen a lakorn do this badly with editing. It's not bad all the time, but at critical moments like flashbacks, it was chopped up so much and put together so sloppily that I didn't know a lot of important information until I came to MDL to read people's comments. If the show had done better with this, it would've been a more enjoyable experience.

With some tolerance and patience, I kept watching this show because I adored Mew and Mark's acting and chemistry. There were some events that happened early in the series that made me almost drop the show (due to how confusing it was and how sudden it was in showing Muey's character in a different light), but I trudged through and the payoff by the end was pretty good. What helped me accept that mini-arc and Muey's personality was that Thien truly didn't know her and we the audience was also learning who she really was like he was.

I'm glad Muey didn't let him off so easily in the latter half of the series. Also, I'm glad that our antagonist girl didn't get a terrible ending because she deserved so much better.

I didn't expect a mainstream lakorn show like this to have boys' love/girls' love, which was pretty cool. I'm glad that it was taken seriously and not brushed aside as some joke.
