"Heart Over Heritage"
Even though there is a 2017 version, I like to watch the 2000s version because of my love for classics. I feel like this couple fits the roles written for them really well, even more than the cast in the newer version.
The story is about the Rattanamahasarn family and how Massaya, a half-Malay woman, struggles to find her place in a strict, high-class family. I liked how the story flowed smoothly without too much dramatic exaggeration. The endings with all the couples were satisfying and felt just right.
I also liked how the sibling bond grew stronger and helped the main couple get together. The grandmother, as the head of the family, felt sad and guilty about the past, and change her principles for the betterment of his grandchildren. It was nice to see how acceptance was finally reached.
The storyline is unique, especially with the focus on Massaya's mixed heritage and how it shows different perspectives among the races. I also liked that there were no typical villains trying to break up the main couple. It made the story feel more genuine.
The military setting was interesting since Lak is a soldier. It reminded me of my childhood dream of becoming a soldier. This was my first drama with an army soldier as the male lead. My favorite character was Prince Sadayu. I always like characters named Sadayu, They always come up with good 2ML in lakorns and the fun fact is, it's always a Prince name.
That said, this drama doesn’t have the strong emotional or intense moments I usually look for — the kind that keep me fully engaged. So at times, I felt a bit distracted. But since it’s a classic, the slower tone, slow burn romance and simplicity match its style well.
Buachompoo Ford as Massaya was so beautiful. She has a natural elegance that fits the role perfectly. Andrew is one of my favorite actors. He always nails his parts and brings his own charm to dramas, whom known as the "Prince Charming' in Thai Lakorns. The smiles of the main couple made the drama even more beautiful.
