Trust me, skip this one, it's not worth it.
This one is a mess. Trust me, it's not worth it to waste you time on it. I started it because I wanted some good new kiss/slap lakorn, and looking at the cast I thought that was it. But nop. Only reason why I stuck till the end is because I like mess and I already started watching it."Plot" (I wouldn't call it a plot because it was so messy for no good reason) is exactly what is writen synopsis. Story is revolved aronud Ponwalai (SFL), Yodthian- FL (sister of Walai), Noppharuj (ML) and Nithan (SML).Basically, Walai was mistress of Nopps father, but she cheated him with Nithan. Reason why she was his mistress is because she wanted to take revange for the death of her mather ( his wife killed her in car accident). Nopps father saw Walai with Nithan and got heartattack and died. In his will, he left everything to Walai. And ofcours, Nopp wants to return to his family what should have belong to them if his father didn't think with his other head (you know what I mean). And everything is about that. We have on one side Walai (with her revange on the Nopps family and her pshyco crush on Nopp, I know, right?) and Nithan (who has his own angenda) then we have Nopp who wants to return what belongs to his family, and then we have Thian who is trying to be an angel and play middle man who tries to fix everything. Obviously we have to have love triangle between two sisters and ML.
Story: story its self was a mess. No matter if actors were good, if story is bad everything is going downhill. Story had lot's of flaws. Starting with screean time between leads, then screen time between ML and SFL and SFL and SML. The leads almost didn't had screen time. You could make entire drama without FL, like making her absent and it wouldn't make difference when it comes to love story. One of problems that I had was the fact that plot it was related to hospital but I never in my life, or in dramas saw hospital that didn't have patients. I watched dramas with privates hospital and still it had some action going on when it comes to patient. Like, it had more press conferances then patients. Also, like we had FL wearing heels in hospital and she was a doctor. Like, make it make sanse. Also, I have problem with charecters. They wrote FL so weak and stupid. I can understand naive FL who is like an angel good, but at some point even leads like that show they have brain. FL was so much up her sisters ass, that she even cover her sisters crimes. And that end, OMG, not every drama need happy ending not life karma. Sometimes, drama needs law and prison.
Acting: well it was good.Bee and Aon were superior. You could feel every emotion. They literally made you hate them. Son was there too, not bad but not at the same level as Bee and Aon. The weakest link, by my opinion, was Pim. And that comes from someone who loves Pim. I don't know was it only writing, or maybe because she was always sharing scenes with two amazing actors who eat their role.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't rewatch it ever again (and this comes from someone who has anxiety and who finds piece rewatching dramas). Nor would I recommend this to anyone.

Skip it, not worth your time
At first episode, I thought this one is going to better especially when we see the cast, but boy was I wrong. I literally skip through from episode 4 till the end.They could had made it much better then Korean one if they just took comments from the viewers and redone it in the way how viewers suggested.
Writting is average, characters aren't well developt. We could have entire drama without main leads. Entire story is centered around Faye or 2FL.This was supposed to be some kind romance, but it had very little romantic scenes, and where it did had romantic scene there was no chemistry. Also, they wrote FL like a idiot.
But I have to say acting of Jane. Great, Emi and Aou is amazing.

Fill in type of drama
I had toxic relationship with this drama. Entire tme, there was voice in my head telling me to drop it, but like with my toxic ex I wanted to stick around. I should had listen to voices in my head.This drama was adapted from the novel, but just because it worked in writing world, it doesn't mean it's gonna work in TV world. Not every book deserves movie/drama. I didn't read a book, but I don't doubt it was good. But this topic as drama isn't good. At least writing of the script.
Drama had 36 episodes, but based on what was in those episodes, it should last 12 episodes max. Most of the time didn't have dialog, no communication beetween leads. To be honest, most od the time I was asking myself what was foundation of their love. Everything happend on whatsapp or wechat, it's like some of those communication apps is sponsor of the drama. So, no dialog or something that make viewers see or feel how the love happend. Also, wierd edditing happening here. First 2 kiss scene had sudden interruption and if we look BTS of the same scene, they clearly made those kiss much longer. I don't know why director wanted to edited it that way that the kiss scene that needed to make viewers more drown in drama lasted 2 seconds and viewers left hanging. Also, most of the episodes, leads were only in the same frame for about 2 minutes. Like I said, everything happend via phone. Too much bussines or phone massages to little together in the frame.
Long story short: writing, directing, editing was bad.
Now, when it comes to acting, that was the only thing that was good in this. Obviously, the actores didn't have that much to work with but what they had, the were good at it. Leads are big name in the industry so I didn't except anything less then good acting. Dylan was good, nothing special but he didn't had anything to work with. I watched his other work, and sometimes he is amazing in his role, sometimes he lack expression. He is good here, but obviously he will have to work on his acting a lot. But I think that he can be amazing actor not just pretty face. Bai Lu, I feel so sorry for my girl in this drama. Her acting is always on point especially micro expressions. I wish they put less filter on her couse she can act with her face but with heavy filter we can't always see her expression. But one day, she will be big name in Chinese dramaland and not only by those idol dramas that demand pretty face but in those heavy movies and dramas that actually demand acting. Miles, he has standard in his acting and he never goes under that standard no matter how bad the script is and here is the same. Definitly big name in future dramaland. The rest of the crew was also good.
At the end, I fill this drama was cash grab for someone. They used these big name actores for nothing. Also, you can't unsee all those sponsors and they product.
