I’ll keep it short and sweet, so to speak. This show was not great, but not bad at all. Please consider giving it a try and not pay attention too much to the really poor reviews.

BTW, this is the first Thai drama I have watched, so please take that into account. Although my wife was born and raised in Southeast Asia, I am not familiar with Thai culture.

The story was OK and of course borrowed heavily from the Korean original. I think the Korean series fleshed out the characters a bit better. So I think it is not as good as the Korean original, but it good enough to invest your time in watching it. I think the acting by the leads (the 4 main folks) was actually quite good. It could be that you don’t like the way the ML was a bit taciturn, and even the FL was too low key in the beginning. This is writing/direction, rather than a problem with the acting, I think. But about half way through when the characters expressed their emotions more, I think they did a really good job. Some of the secondary actors were not quite as good, but no big deal for me.

I’d gladly watch the leads in other series if the story sounds interesting.

So, overall, a 7 for me. Your mileage may vary :-)
