I don't usually watch Thai dramas, specially the slap kiss ones but every now and then I like to explore highly recommended shows and I came across this one by chance.

I loved it, it's definitely an upgrade compared to other lakorns I've seen, of course it follows the same path miscommunications, manhandling, slap/kiss, and of course of the top acting from the evil characters.

I have so many things I didn't like about it but I'll just state why this was different in a good way because what I complain about is the standard for every Thai lakorn and I can't just break the system.

First I love the chemistry between the leads, despite the controversial premise, I believe the ML is a nice guy, with questionable behaviour yes, but still deep down he is nice, the FL is just too stubborn and quite a hypocrite because she doesn't believe the ml nor trust him while she hides a billion secret, manipulate her family and somehow everyone loves her and forgives her because she is a victim, I agree on the latter but that doesn't give her a free pass to do whatever she wants.
That been said I loved their flaws, because that makes them believable, yes insufferable in some scenes but still it's a nice escape from the "perfect leads" that I've been seeing in other shows so I liked that.

Another thing is the pace, yes the story is quite stretched and too many repeated moments but it's not boring and I only skipped the FL friend's scenes cause it's boring and the evil characters scenes because I don't think I can watch them without laughing.

I believe I also liked the flirty ML Vs the angry cat FL in the mid and late episodes, where there is less angst, manhandling, forced back hugs, and more side eyes and throwing things at the cheesy flirty ML playfully.

That been said, I generally liked this show and I'm definitely recommending it for lakorn lovers ~
