TL;DR - I really wouldn't recommend you watch this unless you like the lead actors. In my opinion this was a terrible remake and the 2002 version was much better.  

Alright, so off the bat this was a very difficult and strenuous lakorn for me to get through. I usually start off the review with things I liked or appreciated, but for this lakorn I truly cannot think of any good thing I enjoyed. I do have some honourable mentions, one being Tor (2nd ML) and Neung's mom. Both were the most sensible characters out of everyone in the show and I could connect with them. Everything else just did not work for me. So with that being said, let's go on to the things I didn't like.

The story was very dry, repetitive and had a lot of filler. The same cycle of events kept repeating throughout the lakorn (eg. Kong's aunt and Fah scheme something and they mess up every time, but still get away with it and scheme again) and the same conflict between Kong/Neung kept re-hashing itself to the point where I just wanted them to go their separate ways and never see each other again. You better believe I had my FF button for the majority of this. I also felt that there was a major inappropriate use of music here; scenes that were supposed to be serious or foreboding would mainly have this upbeat music that irritated me a lot. An example I'll give is when happy, upbeat music played over the r*** scene between Kong and Neung and romanticized it, which made me feel disgusted. Simply put, I felt this was a poorly executed story and the editing was very substandard.

I honestly didn't like either of our leads, Kong and Neung. Kong was a deceptive, selfish manipulator and his love for Neung came out of nowhere; sure there were moments that he looked guilty for what he was doing, but then why does he feel guilty? There isn't any meaningful interaction between them that would make me believe that he changed his mind. This was the same issue I had in the 2002 ver, but I could ignore it there whereas here it bothered me. He couldn't take no for an answer, and forced himself numerous times on Neung which made me dislike him a lot. As for Neung, I did initially sympathize with her but after the reveal, she couldn't decide whether she still loved Kong or not. She hated him but then would get emotional and teary when he was with other women. A big part of why I didn't like her is also due to Lily's portrayal (I didn't like Push's either), which I will discuss later. 

The romance was pretty much dead on arrival after the big plot point was revealed. Again, I didn't understand where Kong's love for Neung came from, and him desperately trying to get her back would've been touching if it weren't for the fact that she showed no love for him at all. There was very little romance, no chemistry and no scenes of them being truly happy together and understanding eo; it was buried by continuous misunderstandings and schemes. So Kong being desperate and shedding his pride while Neung just wanted to get away as far as possible made him look like a loser to me. The betrayal was something that ruined their relationship and nothing happened that could make me believe it was something they could get over. They were better off not together, and it was really telling to me when I started to ship Neung with Tor, which I never considered when I watched the 2002 version. 

I was surprised I had such a tough time watching this version because I remember enjoying the 2002 version a lot. I went back to watch the 2002 ver and I've made my own conclusions below on why this 2015 remake didn't work for me, but the 2002 one did.

1. 2015: "Can I copy your homework?"
2002: "Sure but change it so it's not obvious."
If you know this meme then you understand where I'm going with the above statements. The 2015 show was an almost exact repeat of 2002, which is not what a remake is supposed to do. You're supposed to change certain things to fit in the time period it's airing because the audience and the times have changed. The few things they chose to change didn't make sense (they made Kong r*** Neung a 2nd time. Why??? They changed the flower ring scene which is one of the most pivotal moments for Kong and Neung's relationship. Why???), and the things they kept didn't make even more sense (eg. Kong is peeping at Neung and the r*** scene). I don't know why they didn't modernize this script and I honestly feel like anyone watching this for the first time would've been turned off by how old-fashioned it was. They made a somewhat questionable story even worse, and another big part of why is because of the leads.

2. Push vs Tik, Lily vs Aom. I didn't like Push's portrayal of Kong, or Lily's portrayal of Neung. Some of this is not totally on the actors, as the script was crappy and I'm sure they did the best they could. But the biggest reason why I enjoyed the 2002 ver was because Tik was very convincing and charismatic as Kong, and his charm swept me away; I could completely see why Neung would fall for him despite not knowing him for long. As for Push, I just felt like he was aggressive and creepy and his charm didn't work on me at all. But Tik would've also looked aggressive and creepy if Aom was not as strong/fiery as she was and actually had a backbone. Lily just seemed soft and weak, and it didn't help that she had a slow line delivery, to the point where it sounded like she was trying to remember her lines in between sentences. It made her look foolish. All you have to do is compare the 2002 and 2015 wedding scene where Neung reacts to the betrayal, and you will see why I think Aom portrayed Neung better than Lily did.

Overall in my opinion, this was a terrible remake of Roy Leh Sanae Rai. I would not re-watch. I honestly would not recommend anyone watch this, and would 100% recommend the 2002 version.
