You can't take MDL ratings as a gold standard for quality because most of the people rate it based on their enjoyment, that is subjectively. Not on the quality.

Pretty sure that most of the top rated dramas in MDL like Hidden Love, When I Fly Towards You, Me and Thee, Lovely Runner and now Duang With You are all fluffy dramas that are an escape from reality. Like @ohani_jay mentioned, they are not meant to be nitpicked and critically analysed. Actors' performances are the ones that buoy the quality.
Most viewers prefer light hearted dramas and they attract more traffic. Not to mention, they are easily accessible on YouTube.

Dramas such as Love Upon a Time and Khemjira are on leagues of their own. They are intended to attract different viewers. For example, if you don't prefer mystery, there's no point in suggesting LUAT since mystery is the backbone of the series.

Thanks for reading! 😄

I actually like Nakhun's characterization. He knows whom to mess with and when; yes, he may make a fuss, but only with the people whom he knows he can get away with.
He can also completely focus on what's important, too, when necessary. Not to mention, he is desperate for some clarity about his situation/Klao's situation.
As for Jom and Kaew's story... I think they added a bit too much of the 'angst' cause everytime they come onscreen, it's just sad. They didn't stray far from the book. Unless Jom does something that evidently reveals his feelings, I will be happy if he ends up getting cursed by Kaew.

Sure!

Pretty sure that's Nakhun. If you are talking about EP1. There is a very similar scene in the novel, too. Also,
Nakhun has earrings. Klao doesn't. (From the flashbacks.)

Anytime. :)

Me too. The story is really wholesome -- perfect blend of mystery and romance.

Klao get's justice.
Nakhun makes sure of it.
And I think they are going the same route in the drama.
(The opening scene with the gun? It's important.)

But, the time travel part is 100% real. That's the tragedy.

Exactly.

In the novel, Phop guesses the truth.
But, there is absolutely nothing he can do.

Well, yes. It's particularly sad when you realize that he died without anyone ever knowing about it.
A short unfulfilled life.

It's a bit different...

In the novel,
Phop from the past does not realize that the Klao who he was with was Klao's rebirth, Nakhun, from the future.
And their story ends just like that.

If you are talking about Nakhun, yes, he gets to know that Klao and he are the same person.

But, if you are talking about Phop, the answer is a bit different. (This part is why many people find the story tragic.)

My pleasure. 😁

"We" know that Nakhun is Klao, but Nakhun doesn't know that. He knows that he "looks like" someone named Klao.

The drama is about him trying to find out what happened to the real Klao and go back home after finding the real person. (It is a mystery story, not full romance.)

They think he is Klao because he looks exactly like him, but we know from EP2 that Phop is starting to doubt if he is the real Klao. And you are correct.
Phop and the others don't know that the original Klao is dead.
And the Nakhun who time travelled is 400 years from the future. But, the people from the past don't know that.

Klao was killed actually. In EP2, Chuay told Phop that the last time he saw Klao was by the riverside and then he went missing.
Nakhun himself finds out about this during some of his last dreams about Klao, close to the end of his time in the past.

No. Phop is not able to save him.

Klao's rebirth is Nakhun. And yes, just like Nakhun's friends, Phop also took rebirth. He appeared in EP1.

The story goes back to the present in the end. So, yes, we'll see them in the future.

Nakhun dreams of 'everything' that happened to Klao, throughout his stay in the past. Yes, it includes Klao's death. (It already began since EP1 and I think we are getting real flashbacks in EP3.)

As for Phop trying to save him... You mean the first scene of EP1?

Exactly. They couldn't find him because he was dead. (The past/real Klao.)

Yep.
