A Highly Anticipated Disappointment

Fans were eagerly awaiting the return of the lead actors in another series, but unfortunately, the show does not live up to the high expectations. Despite the promising premise, this series is ultimately a letdown. It's slow-paced, repetitive, and the story feels strange and hard to follow. While the chemistry between the two leads is still strong, the plot itself doesn't offer enough to make it engaging or enjoyable.

Boss Chaikamon portrayal of Cir is completely unconvincing and lacks any real depth, making it difficult to empathize with his character. His crying scenes, in particular, were so poorly executed that they were almost painful to watch. It is unclear whether the problem lies in the script, the casting, the direction, or the actors' performanc, but either way, the character of Cir falls flat in a big way.

The inconsistency in the storyline doesn't help matters either. While the concept could have been promising, the execution fails to deliver. There are moments that feel like they’re leading somewhere meaningful, only to disappoint with awkward pacing and unexplained narrative choices.

On the positive side, the chemistry between the two leads is undeniable, and their intimate moments are in a league of their own. It’s clear that the actors have mastered the art of on-screen romance, something many others in the genre could learn from. But sadly, this spark isn't enough to save the series as a whole.
