Watched it when I was in my Nadech crush phase, was fully in love with him by the end of the series.
Watch it if you’re in the mood for: Some serious Nadech goodness. He is extremely charming, handsome, caring, sensitive, mature, thoughtful, jacked up, yada yada in this series. He did not do a single thing which Thai Lakorn ML's get bad rep for generally. Infact, he was downright an epitome of manly virtues.
Why I liked it:
* ML is all kinds of my dream man: Nadech was shown to be a great boss, lover, brother. He was quite mature. The kind of possessiveness he depicted as Nai Singh, is my favourite kind of possessiveness to see on screen. And I almost never get to see it done right. The kind where the ML asserts his rights on the FL once he has confessed to her and she accepts. Here he asserted it even without the FL accepting him. :D He portrayed it very well, without it being too in-your-face.
* Daddy vibes: Somehow Nadech was more fatherly to Mew than the guy who played her actual father. Nadech even asked the FL in the drama: Am I more kinder to you or Na Ram (the father)? Frankly, it was Nadech who was kinder, by a long shot. He was always teaching her stuff, patting her head, showing her different experiences, caring for her etc. In one scene, he even gives her food and says "eat this so you grow up fast!:D". I liked the protective vibes he gave out. In real life too, if someone has daddy issues (like the FL had ), it wouldn't be a stretch of imagination to see her falling in love with a guy who acts like Nadech. I wish this theme was explored more in the drama :D
What I did not like:
* FL: I swear Mew should be sued for spoiling the charm Nadech was oozing on the screen. She totally was not into him, shrank every time he got too close to her. He pours his feelings to her with soulful eyes and killer dimples, and she just nods. Damn girl, move. I was doing a better job of emoting to my laptop screen in response to Nadech's acting.
I don't think Mew is a bad actress in general. She was great in My Husband-in-law. Either she disliked Nadech on a personal level, or the Director was freaking blind to let her keep spoiling all these lovely romantic scenes. Her crass acting is singularly responsible for this series not being a solid 10. If you cannot do love scenes/can't stand the ML, why the heck sign up for doing them?
I feel bad for Nadech. He got his romantic acting A-game to this series. Way better than the various series he has with even Yaya. And Mew ruined it. Big time!
