A bumpy "ride"...
Let's see: good-looking cast, nice music, nice title song... no real kiss.
I don't understand how in the world is this related to 'My Sassy Girl', but it's not important to me, anyways.
There is a bad guy/love rival who looks neither menacing nor handsome.
I fell for Kan Kantathavorn in 'Pang Sanaeha'. But then, his other "meh" roles (like in 'Lueat Tat Lueat'), or "side-villain vampire" roles (well he DOES look a bit like a vampire, LOL) did not do it for me, and here's not much better. She is a pretty girl, but the kind that's boring to watch. There's nothing asian about Davika Hoorne, even her eyes look completely european. So if not for Rapeepat Eakpankul wearing really colourful clothes the whole time, I would be bored with the cast.
Any fun there is here is shortlived. The lead couple decide they like each other after a few episodes, then of course it's side-character's business to cause them to separate.
There is heart-breaking scene when nang'ek decides to leave the farm due to some nang'rai plotting, when a child that long refused to speak finally does: in order to beg her to stay. Nang'ek still leaves, she doesn't stay even when the child is running after her car, even after the child falls on the ground. I thought that wrong. Should she only stay for the pra'ek?
I had fun again for a little while, when the spoiled Rose is back in the city and decides to become hardworking person, and start from the bottom. Working at the hotel, she even does maid service:) This doesn't last long enough either, though. Soon we're back to the side-character plotting "drama".
Rapeepat Eakpankul's character ceases his antics for one second to kiss the cute Mink but it's yet another fake "kiss" that looks veery awkward.
Then the pra'ek & nang'ek get together again... and there are still four 1,5 hour episodes remaining, again. So, there comes another EXTREMELY stupid plot to separate them, yet again. And they get saved, again. Rapeepat Eakpankul's character features in a badass scene. Do you know my motto 'Lakorn characters should be prohibited to use guns'? This is even a "comic relief" character using a gun. Honestly I don't know how many minus points I am going to charge in my overall rating for a thing like that:)
When it looks it's all resolved, somehow still three 1,5 hour episodes remain. It seems endless... (Another points down.) It was never a good story flow and once again, lakorn characters should NOT use guns. I tried more than once to emotionally connect to this or just enjoy the simple ride, but it skipped to a halt and then restarted again, more than once. Usually I wish thai lakorns to concentrate more on the romance and give up on a corny crime villains that only are coming across as ridiculous. Here we have one who also tries to get the nang'ek romantically but the actor (apart from low acting skills) really isn't a looker so that aspect is not working out. I could forgive the totally over the top "action/kidnapping" silly episode if it happened once in the series, not three times. In fact most lakorns - in their quest to fill the long runtime - use the "self rip-off" script where they basically replay the same thing several times, you realize it when you think of it. Here it really stands out without thinking:) So it's especially ridiculous and not enjoyable.
I watched the "action rip-off" episode with all the couples joining in (of course everyone carries a gun, the lovers, the doctors, the funny fatsos...) and it STILL wasn't the last one. Still 2 hour-and-halfs left to go... Watching those, I got in a state of mind where if nang'ek got shot, I didn't get stirred. Of course we needed the scene where doctors are idiots and leave the body of supposedly dead person because all is needed are the tears of the pra'ek for them come back to life... I guessed if she wakes up, she'll have amnesia. Was I right? Would that even be a spoiler if I write it here? This series is practically a lakorn & a parody of a lakorn all in one. But wait, first we need the scene where Kan Kantathavorn does fyzioteraphy, pedicure and singing while playing his guitar for the sleeping nang'ek. So I thought I really got as much "fun" as I am even able to handle... Luckilly, Davika Hoorne's character wakes soon and rescues the audience. Rest of the episode we're away from hospital or any gunshooting. And only one to go.
Kan Kantathavorn should not sing. If he also sang the title song then I apologize, but his "live" singing in the lakorn was... Eh, I mean it was funny once, but no audience laughs twice at the same joke.
Ew... another aawkward fake not-kiss in final epi. If that was supposed to be the climax of everything, then, yeah. Other two couples also had their little happy endings. One couple had more attractive and cute woman than the lead one, actually. The other was the "funny" couple consisting of weird characters who acted like bufoons one minute, then badass armed fighters the next. The two dads and the kids and funny countryside returned, we were finally free of the overdone bullsh*t... Still the final dragged for me. It was just a late reminder of what atmoshpere this show SHOULD have kept. And then this review of mine wouldn't need to be this long (but it kinda mirrors my viewer experience).
Eh... Counting everything in my overall rating, it got at the level you can see... fairly counted from the perfect average 5.0, of course (which equals any mildly enjoyable romance series). Would the lakorn makers learn they'd be better off if they'd keep things simple? I somehow doubt it, but who knows;)
