I had high expectations for this series, especially since it took almost two years to release. But what a disaster it turned out to be. It was boring, bland, and a complete waste of time. The main characters, Khanin and Charan, were dull. Seriously, Charan needs to work on his acting; it was stiff and lifeless. The romantic moments between them were underwhelming and just didn’t feel genuine. As for the other couples, Ramil and Paytai had potential, but their storyline barely got any screen time, which was frustrating. Jay and Calvin? Were they even necessary? They had zero presence in the series, and it felt like a huge missed opportunity. Ava and Mira didn’t fare much better. Mandee annoyingly prefers to focus solely on the main couple, and it's a shame they completely ignore the side couples. Also, the NC scenes were just too cringeworthy. Beyond the couples, the only character that brought any life to the show was Chakri, though even he got annoying at times with his constant fangirling.

One of the biggest disappointments was the lack of focus on Khanin’s biological father. Why didn’t they explore their relationship more? It just felt odd that Khanin seemed completely uninterested in bonding with his father. That subplot felt underdeveloped and completely pointless. The "Battle of the 4 Kingdoms" to determine who would become the new king of Emmaly also fell flat, especially in the first 9 episodes, where nothing really happened. There was hardly any progression, and the competition felt stagnant. They barely explored the other heirs, leaving their storylines weak and underdeveloped. Khanin’s grandfather, who plays a major role in the power struggle for the throne, came across less as a formidable figure and more as an annoying, irritating presence. Even Charan’s police friend, who was investigating the death of Khanin’s adopted father, felt like a completely unnecessary subplot. It was underdeveloped and added nothing meaningful to the story. The soundtrack was just not great. It felt whimsical at times, but it was too bland and didn’t fit certain scenes. The overall acting in this series definitely needs improvement. The younger actors were below average, especially when compared to the more experienced older actors.

I get that they invested a lot in this series, especially with the costumes and locations, but they really should have put more effort into the script. It just didn’t live up to the production quality.

All the characters were flat and uninteresting. The storyline was pointless and lackluster, making the whole series feel like a drag. Honestly, don’t bother watching this series. It’s a complete snooze fest. Even making a cup of tea would be more entertaining than this. I didn’t even finish the series; I dropped it after episode 9.
