Underrated and misunderstood

I am so glad that I gave this Lakorn a chance! After reading all the comments, I was hesitant to start it, but it ended up being the first Lakorn where I was compelled to watch half the show un-subbed after 12 episodes. Luckily, I was able to find episode cuts and music videos that had English sub-titles for the remaining scenes, and those provided a lot of context for me.

A few commenters may have expected this drama to be mainly about Fah and Ben, and were upset that the later episodes appeared to be more about Pipi and the other characters. However, the drama poster was a dead giveaway that Fah and Ben were not the plot's focus. To me, the show was well-executed, balancing multiple characters and their stories. There was the relationship full of anger, feelings of revenge, and hate between Orawee, Tharn, and Vichuda, the "friendship to love" development between Aek and Narin, the growth of Pipi and Ron, and of course the "hate to love "romance between Fah and Ben.

Even though I enjoyed the different plot lines, admittedly, I was most invested in Fah's and Ben's journey,. They were the reason why I finished the show. which is why the ending was somewhat disappointing for me. The last episode was when I felt the show was not as balanced. After spending so much time on the show-down between Orawee and Vichuda, and the happy results for Aek, Narin, Pipi, and Ron, I thought I could finally see Fah and Ben properly starting over. But....no! The show had to throw in a new character, a totally unnecessary plot twist.

I applaud the actors - they were excellent! Since I could not understand most of the dialogue in the un-subbed episodes, I relied on studying the actors' facial expressions and body language. Almost everyone emoted so superbly that I could tell what the characters were supposed to be feeling in their scenes. Except for the last character introduced during the final plot twist, there were no other unnecessary characters - everyone had a purpose.

I first saw Bie Thassapak in "My Girlfriend is an Alien" and became a fan. He did not disappoint in this Lakorn either. He did an amazing job portraying Ben, the smooth playboy who turned over a new leaf after falling in love with his unwilling bride. While his character was one that I usually hated, there was enough character development that ultimately made me sympathize with him. That said, I think the writing could be better in showing how Ben started falling for Fah. The transition felt somewhat abrupt.

For a newcomer, Fah Ngamkasem was great as well, and I liked her character, Fah, who was not the usual weak crying prop. In fact, the women in this drama were all pretty fierce! Some scarier and crazier than others, like Orawee and Vichuda. Those two were in a league of their own, and kudos to Yardthip Rajpal and Ying Rhatha Phongam, who played them so fantastically!

The music selection was good. The songs and instrumental pieces enhanced the scenes. It is too bad that I could not find the OST on any of the usual streaming platforms.

I honestly hope that the whole show would be fully subbed soon so that I can re-watch and appreciate this Lakorn better. All in all, I think that people should give this show a chance and keep in mind that it is not focused on one primary couple.
