Dropped it: Plot is Golden, Female Lead is Wooden

Plot: A recently jilted-in-love, hot-headed cop gets into an arranged marriage with a homely, traditional girl. I am a sucker for plots where the leads fall in love post marriage. I am a sucker for plots where a hot-headed male is paired with a calm, mature female lead. It's a pity I couldn't even finish this series.

Why I did not like it:
* Female Lead: She lacked chemistry with the Male Lead. She shrinks when he gets too close. The moment the FL acts like she is uncomfortable in a hug / kiss scene with the ML who she apparently loves, it breaks the plot immersion experience for me completely.
Jirayu did a great job with his role. He was hot-headed but sensible, approached her with a smile, looked happy to be in her presence on screen. The FL was just meh.
Also, somehow her demeanour did not sell me that she was any sort of traditional / homely person.

Given how crazy I am about such plots, I demand this be remade with Mark Prin / Mike and Mookda in leading roles

PS: When you realise 'Padiwaradda' is Thai appropriation of the Sanskrit word "Pativrata": Mind Blown! :D
