First review EVER, don’t expect it to be perfect ?↕️
Okay so this is my first time writing a review and it may be a little messy but please be patient with me 😭First, I’d like to talk about the storyline. I thought it was good, because it’s not your typical unexpected pregnancy or contract marriage. I mean it does involve contract marriage, but there’s so much to it. First of all the fact that Siwa had already fallen for Palai by the time they signed the marriage certificate was soooo heartwarming for me.Second of all, the whole father saga was indeed very dragged on but I understand why Siwa wanted to save his family.After all he had been looking up to his father all his life and to suddenly find out about his bad deeds…i wouldn’t be able to take it either. And the fact that the woman he likes is blackmailing him😭😭Even worse, I would’ve exploded at that point 😀
Okay now the characters. First the aunt. So for me she was just a very bad mother, relative, a bad person in general. I couldn’t understand her throughout the whole lakorn and I don’t think I’d ever understand people that hurt their family members…Even if she saw Palai’s parents as strangers it’s absolutely psychotic to kill your own family.
Now the cousin…Oh don’t get me started on her. So at first I really really hated her, because GIRL CALM TF DOWN she had all these mental breakdowns because of a MAN????? Like I’m sorry pull yourself together, if he doesn’t want you just let him be…and mind you her MOTHER also told her to give up, because it’s just one man???? Like she was getting on my nerves BAD. But then at the end of the lakorn she just became…pitiful? I mean I don’t even know how to describe her, because she’s just a very complicated character 😃
Okayyy next MY BABY Siwa🥹🥹 Oh you guys don’t understand how much I love this man!!!! First he admired Palai from afar, then he bought her father’s cars, because she needed the money…Then he gave her a house to live in…And he gave her the house AFTER she started blackmailing him! He knew that Palai was after his father, but he still couldn’t give her up😞😞I mean I can’t even describe him because I don’t know how to put it in words, he’s even more complicated than the cousin…
Palai. Oh my poor Palai…She had to lose both her parents AT THE SAME TIME, her uncle…Had to watch her close ones suffer…And then had to sort of give up on her revenge because she fell in love with the villain’s son. You know at first I was like GIRLLL his father is baaaad you can’t just ignore that! But then again, the son isn’t ANYTHING like his father, so why not love him instead and screw the father🙂↔️🙂↔️ What I love about Palai was that she fought against Siwa’s father and tried to destroy him, but also cared about Siwa and tried protecting him in her own way(like when she didn’t want to give him the password for the tablet so he doesn’t see more of his dad’s bad side quests). I mean love is a feeling you can’t control, she couldn’t lie to her heart… So yeah once again, a c o m p l i c a t e d character !
I’ll say less about the side characters because I don’t want this review to be too long.
So the female doctor for me was a nice character in general. Like I don’t have much of an opinion of her, because they didn’t really show us much of her personality or anything, she was just funny at times and a cool ex. That’s basically all…
Next is Thana. Well…I don’t know what to think about this guy like first I was confused because wdym he was proposing to…his cousin? Like huh…But then again I didn’t fully understand, maybe the translation was wrong, but I thought that he is her blood relative and his parents are Palai’s uncle and aunt??? Maybe not? Anyway, if they are indeed related then it’s defo weird that he liked her🫠And he had his own complications yk, like him knowing that Siwa’s father killed his own and being unable to really do anything…Then finding out about Siwa and Palai….Yeah, not really cool.
The other characters like the maids or Palai’s friends and Siwa’s friend for me were just good side characters, but I don’t have much to say… Like once again they’re not that complicated for me. I mean I still don’t quite understand Pang(Palai’s friend) but wtv I don’t wanna talk about her, watch the lakorn and you guys form ur own opinions about her because I really don’t know what to say😭😭
The acting was very good, but my fav actor is definitely Bank Arthit!!!! OMG THIS MANNNNN😝 Like first of all, he’s soooooo fine it physically hurts! Second, this was my first time watching his drama and oh gawd how is he such a heartthrob🤨 Like he’s pretty when he cries, he’s pretty when he’s angry, he’s pretty when he acts cute😭 I think I totally fell for him… Also he portrayed Siwa’s emotions really good, I was able to understand the character because his acting was top notch 🤗 I could talk about that man all day, but you guys probably don’t have the time for that…Anywaysssss that’s basically all I have to say, I didn’t really pay attention to the music because it didn’t really stand out to me, but I wasn’t bad or anything like that.
Sorry if the review is bad, too long, or if I missed anything important 💔 After I finish a drama I pretty much become a mess and can’t put my opinion in words, because so many thoughts are going through my mind at the same time 😭😭😭

Romance in revenge marriage
●Story- Palai is celebrating her parents anniversary and then they get into car fire accident and die. Her aunt manipualtes and seizes everything slowly from her taking advantage of her emotional turmoil.Then one day palai best friend, thana’s father goes missing.
Palai comes across siwa who Janjaeng wants to marry. Palai plans a perfect way to save her inheritance and help Thana.
She gets married to siwa in-order to get some evidence against siwa’s father who is an evil person. Eventually siwa and palai fall in love. both of them protecting each other.
Then there is side character of friends who create lots of confusion, i dont understand why the hell side characters act on their own which cause trouble for the leads.
The story is typical lakron type but it then it really good in aspects of romance. I love romantic stuff and the way this lakron slowly builds the romance part was commendable. The story progression is really fast so it keeps me hooked for the next episode.
●Acting- amazing acting by the bank and ploy.
▪︎Bank as siwa oozing with handsomeness. I watched him in ‘cubic’ earlier was kind of brat but in rahut rissaya he shined as a star. He was perfect in romance scenes I felt as if am watching a stage show. While when he was sad and angry, his facial expressions were amazing.
▪︎Pinkploy as Palai was confident and chilling. Her face and dressing complimented her as a boss lady. Although she is need to brush more on her acting skills but she played Palai well.
▪︎Nitchda character as a doctor was total mess. She is literally the most awful causing so much of misunderstanding coz she fell in love with the patient, atleast have some code of conduct.
And yes negative characters also did and amazing job as in I really hated them. the essence of villains and vamp characters were complimenting the storyline perfectly.
●Music- I loved the opening track beautiful. As for ending track there were some beats which were like too fast, so I didn’t enjoy that part.
●Rewatch that would be the romance of the leads. They really hit the screen.
●Appreciation- the casting is amazing. Bank and Ploy chemistry deserves a huge applaud.
●Criticism- screenwriters and directors really need to put some effort in writing intimate scenes and also the villains end scenes. While the intimate scenes just cuts off. Like there is a kiss scene, the couples lips had just met and camera shifts to the something else. And with next scene the couple are seen sleeping on bed. WTF, why can there be a 10sec kissing scene. If the directors don’t want a kissing scene then they should probably do fake kissing scene from angle so that audience like me doesnt get disappointed.
And vamps end scene doesn't seem right, why arent they punished by the law. Yes thailand lakrons preach that karma comes to you for what you have done wrong.
●Overall- watch it for a good romance and some crazy evilness of the vamps and villain. I personally enjoyed the romance part.

Just get chilled out!!!
It’s an amazing drama though it has revenge but the romance and the chemistry between the two leads makes it a treat to the eyes. In love with everything about the drama. The moral of the story that everyone meets their karma is well preached.I like the FL’s role as she is shown empowered who does not technically depend on the guy. She gives off the perfect boss lady vibe.
A must watch if you like such dramas like the deadly affair.
I love the ML’s character, it is just perfect, unlike other dramas about overbearing CEO shit. He is calm,gentle and he never failed to make me fall in love with his character.
The drama is good and to a certain extent it is pretty underrated.
It will definitely keep you hooked till the last minute of each show.

Revenge drama with many sweet moments
I started the drama with low expectations because I love the old version. I rewatch the old one few times. For this drama The plot revenge is not complicated much tho it's still okay. And I like that sometimes the good guys win and sometimes the bad guys win. I hate when revenge drama only show the bad guys keep winning.The acting is a bit lacking compared to the old one. But we can't actually compare the acting between these 2 dramas because the old one has some of best actors in lakorn land. So the actors of this drama actually did a great job. I hope to see the lead in other drama.
I give high rating because it has so many sweet and romantic moments. I think this is the sweetest drama with contract marriage. The leads chemistry is amazing. The lead couple has communication problems at certain situations but they still remain together and enjoy their moments together because they want to feel the happiness. As someone who likes the old Rahut Rissaya, I would say I like this remake more. One of the best remake lakorn I've ever watched. I totally gonna rewatch this

Even it's Bank ... this one was not for me :)
PLOT: The FL, heir to 1 gd gpe, loses everything when her parents die (murder) for the benefit of her "aunt" and her "niece" (Mental disorders - FL2). The father of the BF of the FL (ML2) is killed by the Great evil (father of the ML). The FL therefore marries the ML to investigate and take shelter from her aunt & niece, while waiting to recover what belongs to her.+++ Bank, adorable and very convincing as ML. Nevertheless, I am not very convinced by Pinkploy's performance, pretty but inexpressive (only some fake tears).
### Very classic storyline for a lakorn, with violent Villains, lots of screams, tears, fights. And I'm not talking about marriage blackmail, extortion, the number of deaths, ... and irrational behavior (including heroes)!
### Constant and too loud music.
=> Despite the charm of Bank, I only went through with FF and Speed X 1.5
********************************************************
PLOT: La FL, héritière d'1 gd gpe, perd tout à la mort de ses parents (meurtre) au profit de sa "tante" et de sa "nièce" (Troubles mentaux - FL2). Le père du BF de la FL (ML2) est tué par le Great Devil (père du ML). La FL se marie donc avec le ML pr enquêter et se mettre à l'abri de sa tante & nièce, en attendant de récupérer ce qui lui appartient.
+++ Bank, adorable et très convaincant en ML. Je ne suis par contre pas très convaincue par la performance de Pinkploy, jolie mais inexpressive.
### Storyline très classique pr un lakorn, avec Villains violents, bcp de cris, de larmes, de bagarres. Et je ne parle pas du chantage au mariage, des extorsions, du nombre de morts, ... et des comportements irrationnels (y compris des héros) !
### Musique permanente et trop forte.
=> Malgré le charme de Bank, je ne suis allée au bout qu'avec FF et Speed X 1.5

Good storyline
Few things I want to point out:1. I started watching it because of its interesting storyline
2. The most disturbing thing I found is, male lead has a phobia for snakes and the female lead uses this to make him weak and vulnerable, not once but multiple times
What was more problematic is that, the serial portrays it as something funny. This is absolutely unacceptable, people should know making fun or taking advantage of a person's weak point is wrong and not at all humorous.
3. Too much slow paced and it became really boring, I had to skip parts alot.
4. Villains in the drama are really confusing and disturbing.
5. Did not feel connected with the romance development of the leads.
Honestly half of the things did not make sense

Good revenge plot and romance
Great chemistry between the main leads and secondary leads and the acting was natural.Usually I hate the negative characters but in this show Jan character is very pitiful and it didn’t bother much. The aunt character was very hateful and was getting in my nerves and had to skip her scenes.
Also the love between the leads was very gradual and not rushed.
This is my first time seeing show with Bank and he sure has talent and the look. Looking forward for many more.
This show deserves much more rating and credit.

The second couple is more attractive
I was pleased to see Praew Chermawi. Great Sapol is okay too, I suppose... But Bank Artit? Don't stretch it. I would have it if the second couple would rather be the main. And if this was rather a comedy. NOT interested in the obligatory plot about family members who are practically criminals and muder your parents and do anything to steal all your money... Oh no, not another hysterics of Gookgiik Kochakorn... I watched enough of her in previous lakorns. This is like really OLD thing remade "new" with a few veteran actors who must be bored to death by now. I know I am. And this Pinkploy Paparwadi? She's all groomed like she's a supermodel, but her face... Who ever thought her a nang'ek material is beyond me. Switch her with Praew Chermawi! Even thirty, lol.I'm afraid I can't bring myself to care about the main story. Praew Chermawi would need to have WAY MORE screentime. If she'll continue having 1 scene for each episode I'll either drop this series or finish it real quick, lol.
EDiT: Watching only Praew Chermawi's scenes since episode 3.
Episode 5: There's no scene with Praew Chermawi. Great Sapol has a scene where he finds his mother tied down & with gagged mouth. Okay, enough. I won't watch any more "criminal" cr*p, that's always sign of idiocy in lakorn.
Ending credits song is nice, best thing about this lakorn.
