A Boring Story and Incomprehensible Reincarnation

I started watching it because I like MosBank, so I was looking forward to it. At first, the way the two met was interesting, but as the story progressed, it became dull.
The plot was extremely cliché, and the added element of past life memories felt like it was just tacked on.

It seemed like the past life memories were completely unnecessary.
Unlike The Sign, where past lives affect the present, I couldn’t understand why that element was included here.
Everything wraps up nicely in the end, but the resolution is so anticlimactic that it’s hard to grasp its meaning.

Also, I’m not sure if this is unique to Thai culture, but the friends are overly meddlesome.
They’re all way too worried. Do people really take time off from their internships to check on a friend just because they haven’t been able to contact them for a little while? I can’t understand it.

Moreover, romantic relationships develop between interns and the CEO or between interns and their supervisors—relationships that are ethically unacceptable in real life.
At the very least, I would have liked to see them wait to develop the romance officially until after the internship, or even if they’re mutually interested, to keep it hidden until they can officially date.
The mixing of personal and professional matters is too much, and the lack of compliance is appalling.

I wouldn’t want to work at a company like this, but since Thai dramas often depict companies this way, it might actually be normal…
