I came for the convoluted revenge, stayed for Risa and Pong
I would recommend it to anyone who wants a standard production lakorn with a very cute couple.
PROS
-Risa and Pong as a couple: lovely chemistry, even if they had nefarious motives in the beginning, once they commited to each other they both showed maturity and love
-They don't hide their age difference, instead because of it they fit each other, Risa with her giving nature and Pong with his smile and efforts to please her
-Pong's grandmother, the most forward thinking elder i've seen in thai dramas, she supports Pong and Risa's love even if it's not accepted by society. she only wants what's best for him
-Risa's supportive bff who gave her a place to live, emotional support and was the official administrator of her love life
-The female villain had some great lines, like calling the husband a cheater
-the couple's hugs were so cute
-Risa faces many difficulties, but doesn't just go back to the man who hurt her. she has her own mind
CONS
-fake kiss scenes that blemish the couple's otherwise perfect chemistry
-Madonna/whore complex on full display: the main lead is portrayed as saint, enduring all the abuse and keeping herself down (and she's a nurse) while the villain is a woman who enjoys sex and is independent. all the while the real villain is the husband, the only one who really cheats on their spouse
-the main ending is atrocious and negates the whole message of the series, watch the alternative instead
OVERALL
enjoyable series ( would benefit from more hotness in the couple) that shows stereotypes but doesn't settle for them
