Let's face it, it's the same with k-drama or j-drama, whenever they go to Europe or to America, I am suffering (like please, please, pleaaaase, don't try to speak english!:) Here, it's even worse. Kwan Usamanee is first attempting to sound as french (my ears hurt). THEN we have all the arabic setting. Neither Tui Thiraphat nor Nat Arnus Rapanich seem to understand that putting that thing on their head does NOT make them look like arabs. The whole romantic line did not work on me either, as I just don't find Kwan Usamanee as irresistibly beautiful as she would have to be for it to make the slightest sense. Even Stephan Santi got old and looks gross here:-( It dragged but I watched many other dramas in between so I managed to finish this somehow and now it's more or less blissfully forgotten.
