Not that good
I admit, that I enjoyed WWWSK - the script, the cast, the acting. Surprisingly I also liked the Filipino adaptation - the script, the cast, the acting. So I was really happy, when I saw this Thai adaptation as I watch lakorns mostly...but my oh my, I did not think, that I would drop this.
We all know, that lakorns are a different kind of drama and their adaptations are oftentimes "off".
The script here was overly dramatic, forced funny moments ( that I found ridiculous ) - the choosing of a new secretary: yeah, jump into the pool to rescue some documents (insert BIG eyeroll here).
The cast. The ML in WWWSK had charisma, that aura of power and at the same time he displayed the wounded hero to a T. Here: not so much. The FL in WWWSK had a calm, controlled air around her, when she was in the office. She had grace and style and always behaved absolutely perfect. Here: not so much. The acting. Both actors are good. The ML actor is one, that I liked almost from the start of his carrer. He has some great lakorns which I enjoy rewatching. But this role here is a no from me. Bua has improved in the last two years but her acting is nowhere near the level of the FL in WWWSK - sorry for that but this is my opinion. I like both actors in other lakorns but not here. To know the original characters and actors and then seeing this remake turning out like this...dropped somewhere in the middle. I can however recommend the Filipino adaptation.
