You know you're watching a classic thai revenge/slap/kiss lakorn when it's over dramatic, absolutely crazy and super addictive. I heard the hype about the drama during its airing, but I decided to wait for the series to finish and marathon the drama, and boy did I do that!

The story can be viewed as a fable about the futility of revenge and the path to forgiveness. Tor/Sila played by Tor was amazing as the abused and tortured pra'ek that wanted to seek revenge for what was done to him as a child. Sweet baby Jesus, Sila was definitely sweet on the eyes but his charisma and on-screen presence was unbelievable. He honestly carried the drama for me, along Aunt Mam (badass strong woman) and Sida (who was soo good at playing nang’rai, I actually felt sorry for her at the end). You can see his inner pain and turmoil over exacting this revenge, which he has been planning since he was a child. It was interesting to see how he masterminded the revenge, it was thrilling and even though I was vouching for him to win at every turn, the question remained.... is it worth it?

Mintra played by Fern is a new face for me, and I've been in this lakorn game for a long time. Min was the classic, self-sacrificial, kind and hard-working nang’ek; albeit some parts were frustrating especially when she was literally getting berated by her sister/mother and also misunderstanding Sila, but the latter did make for some good slap/kiss scenes! Min and Sila's chemistry was amazing, I think they're my new favourite koo jin! The height difference was swoon worthy, but I love how they "feed off" each other's emotions and make it electrifying. Min is the flower needed for Sila's stone heart; to make him realise that we should not let our past define us, because it can lead to the destruction of our present and future.

Overall, it is a good drama to watch! Don't feel bad when you find yourself hitting the fast forward button, sometimes lakorn have TOO MUCH prolonged dramatic scenes involving close up shots of the characters face! Also I LOVE the ending!
