I prefer this version over the original

Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

I would first like to say that I had no desire to watch this series because if you would read my previous comments on any MAME series, you would know that I have a love/hate relationship with her series (but, yes, I do still watch them). Also, the last Japanese remake that I watched where the original actors (Fort and Peat) were involved – I just did not feel that the Japanese counterpart to Fort's Prapai was good. So, I was apprehensive about watching this series. But one day, I just decided to give it a go, and I am actually glad that I did.

The Japanese counterpart to the characters (Kashin and Ai) of the original Thai series (Mahasmut and Tongrak) was actually well done. I felt that the Japanese handled some of the sexual scenes better compared to the Thai version. They were able to carry me through the emotions that the original actors did, and yet I was still able to enjoy this series as if it was the first time that I was seeing this story unfold (I mean, this series had me crying in a part that I knew was coming up in the last episode – that's just to show you how well these actors played these roles of these two characters). Yes, they also did have some weak parts compared to the Thai version, I will admit, but still, I felt like I enjoyed this version more.
