I have nothing but criticism for the action lakorn in this - it's just a string of ungrounded tropes thrown together in pursuit of plot, motivations and filling time. The BL is trope-heavy too, but on par for recent GMMTV fare and Ohm can elevate anything through the strength of his acting. Nothing but praise for him.
This had one excellent idea which it developed then forgot - the sleepwalking, with its mix of care and trauma - and what should have been a solid idea around sacrifice which they chopped into pieces and scattered about, dissipating its emotion.
Leng's acting was fine and suited the character. Do NOT understand what the complaints are re chemisty either. The only thing missing was fans building up years of fantasies about them beforehand.
But story-wise, this is another What might have been, with these actors and that care & trauma premise, if only the creators hadn't let it all down.
