Amazing
Characters:
We have Saenkaew who have been taught that his identity is wrong, and is carrying the hurt of being unable to be true to himself. He struggles between duty and love, and I absolutely admire him trying to do everyone right given the circumstances he was put through. Sasin, on the other hand, even though his childhood also wasn't the best, he's still a dreamer. Most of his actions are based on his emotions, which makes him a little reckless, but also romantic because he really gives his all to his lover. Our female lead Pin has it rough on the self-worth department, because you can tell all she wants is to be loved, and that will affect a lot of her choices in this drama. I have to say we have a bunch of incredible side characters, they weren't there as plot device, but actually are a part of the story and contributed to it.
Story & Acting:
Won't get much into it to avoid spoilers. Think of a realest and a dreamer fall in love but have to face issues with acceptance and expectations. There were a lot of messages within the conflicts and I appreciated that. The acting was superb. If I have to say, I think my favorite thing about this drama is the dialogue. More than anything happening in the story itself, I enjoyed the conversations between the characters much more, and have some quotes that stuck with me.
The music was wonderful. The sets and cinematography great. Directing and editing were also well done. All of them worked to create powerful scenes and moments that had me stressed and on the edge of my seat. The range of frustration, anxiety, relief, joy, and then back to anxiety was overwhelming (in a good way).
My personal critique would be on a couple things that weren't resolved or answered that I thought were a big part of the story. A lot of the time, the antagonists are "conveniently" at the right place and the right time. Some of their actions were inconsistent, dragged out, or pointless.
Overall, great series. I enjoyed it a lot. If you can't deal with frustrating plotlines (It didn't start like this but the last few EPs were very stressful), I probably won't recommend this to you. But if you can sit through it, you'll definitely be rewarded.
