Strong acting, soundtrack, visuals; an emotional drama revolving around family
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought! I had already been spoiled a little bit about what happens in the lakorn, so I didn't think I would be THAT invested in the show, but I still found myself getting sucked into the lakorn and really paying attention to all the dramas and plots. I attribute that to the great acting from everyone, especially from the leads Boom (who plays Pol) and Pim (who plays Pan). They have great chemistry and their scenes--the romantic ones as well as the quarreling ones--pull you in like a vortex. You can't help but watch them.
Boom is amazing as Pol, able to switch easily between angry and jealous to pitiful and sad. The way Boom is able to look so much like a child in the scenes with the father is incredible. I felt so sad and bad for Pol during those times.
Pim as Pan blows me away, especially during the painful angsty scenes. The way her voice trembles, her expression cracks as she's crying; I cried so much with her because I see and hear her pain so much. I also loved her as cold-hearted Pan who refuses to given in to Pol. She's got a glare that could kill! I'm so glad that, though she was soft at times where I wanted her to slap the mean people, she was tough at the end especially toward Pol (who deserved it.)
With every slap kiss lakorn, you get your typical character and plots, such as a conniving mother, a conniving female antagonist, an evil male antagonist, male side characters who are in love with the FL. There are some handling of characters that I thought was questionable (or too one-dimensional) or was too easily resolved, but that was to be expected for this genre of slap kiss.
What did surprise me, though, (and seemed progressive), was the brief parts about what makes a good healthy family versus a toxic family. I was glad to see that the lakorn recognizes how unhappy and quarreling parents can really affect their children and showed Pan as a strong-willed woman who saw things clearly and knew what she needed. It annoyed me that almost everyone around her kept trying to convince her to give in, but she didn't.
I also appreciated how the show didn't drag the part where he found out the truth and became bad toward her and she tolerated it. I thought that was going to go on for many episodes, but it happened and while Pol was bad, Pan resisted and talked back. I'm so glad that the bulk of the first half of the series was really building their love before all the angsty stuff happened for 3-4 episodes, and then the last couple of episodes was the repairing of the relationship.
The soundtrack is pretty good, but I was especially moved by the solemn and intense instrumentals (or the acapella tracks) during the angsty said scenes. It really elevated the scene and made it incredibly emotional.
Anyway, I'm so glad to see Boom and Pim in this drama as main leads, especially after "Karn La Krang Neung…Nai Hua Jai" where they had such good scenes. I really hope they have more lakorns in the future.
