Pretty good lakorn, I'd absolutely watch again!
I'm feeling extra so I'm just gonna write a review based off of every aspect:
STORY:
I loved the story. I like how they didn't try to make Busaba look pretty and focused on the aspect of "beauty comes from the inside", and how being kind and genuine always works out. The humor was also funny and the ending also felt very fitting and I finished the lakorn feeling pretty satisfied. The only problems I had was that the plot felt predictable. I managed to predict multiple things and I wasn't shocked when I was right. I also wasn't surprised when I learned this lakorn was based off of a k-drama, as many of the tropes were very familiar. There were also too many episodes because of the amount of antagonists that were trying to get in the way of the Saran & Busaba's love, or Busaba's career. It just got repetitive and I skipped most of Cherin's and Thipp's scenes. At times, it also felt like too many storylines and plots were going on at the same time. Now I know it's supposed to replicate real life, but from Saran's mother's hospitalization to Cherin, to Anna being able to speak, to Busaba trying to figure out whether she should go to Paris or not, to Kim teaming up with Thipp, to the hotel and Pao & Noei's love story, it was certainly a lot to comprehend. There was a lot to unpack, though, so I understand.
ACTING:
The acting felt very real, even though sometimes it felt awkward. Thipp's acting felt scripted and was sort of bad. Other than that, the whole cast was casted perfectly. I originally started watching because I love Bee Namthip, but I stayed because the acting was great! You get to find a way to love every single character (even the antagonists) and their character developments were suffice.
MUSIC:
The music was very cute and quirky-like. It was very prominent in every single one of the episodes and it sometimes got repetitive. Some of the music is pretty loud and it got in the way of what the characters were saying, but it's fine. Overall, the music sounded very k-drama-like and it pretty fine. I always loved the emotional-sounding tracks.
WOULD I REWATCH?:
Yes. I think it's a great, mood-lifting lakorn. I especially love the cooking aspects (when they don't try to shove their Maggi advertising down your throat) and the Superchef competition left my heart racing. This lakorn also left me questioning who was better, Kim or Saran, and I'd say at the beginning, I was 45% Kim and 55% Saran, but at the end it was more so 35% Kim and 65% Saran (because I hated how Kim was working with others maliciously). One more thing, I love how it highlights the importance of family on both sides. My mom was watching and she cried multiple times throughout the lakorn.
Overall, it's not as bad as some of the reviews I saw under this lakorn. It's very cute and the whole plot is nice. If you're new to lakorns this is definitely a must.
