This is beyond my own expectation.

I started watching Massaya with a mixed feelings, because I have other dramas waiting in list but somehow I felt attracted with the couple combination. So I went to watch the first episode, and I'm hooked. I'm the kind of person who'd skip the scenes which are unnecessary for me, but in this drama, I barely skipped any (only on the last two episodes because it was a bit draggy for me), but overall, I managed to watch it all completely.

I love how the time setting was. And as I don't usually like these kind of time setting, the 1950s kind of setting, I ended up loving it. It could've been because of the story line, which suited best with this time setting.

However, I'd have to say that there are some unnecessary characters which made me wonder why are they even there? They're insignificant, I'd say. There are too many couples, and honestly, when I was watching there was a scene where Nop handed his hankerchief to Pan, I had the slightest hope there's going to be another love line between two of them (which I'm glad there's none)

The main characters, both Massaya and Lak are just too adorable, but I wished he'd man up even more. There are some parts when I felt like Massaya was the guy in the relationship where she was a strong and fierce girl, and managed to handle the problems alone. Lak on the other hand, only managed to run away from the problem, and it was all because of the grandma.

Don't even make me start with the grandma, and Lak's mother. The grandma should really learnt from her past mistake, how Massaya's parents had to struggle when she go against their marriage. But she still have the feeling that she's so highly and mighty that she could order EVERYONE to do as what she wants. Even her own granddaughter. Pfft. Lak's mother... Sometimes I wish she'd just stand up for her son, instead of trying to separate the couple. But instead, she keeps on following Grandma's order, while sacrificing her own son's happiness.

Overall it was a fun ride. I almost cried along with Massaya, especially when she started quivering her lips as she tried to hold her tears *feels* And I'm so happy in the end they managed to stay together, despite everything they had to endure.

I might not want to rewatch this so much, but I'd love to see this couple in another drama. The combo is so great, but I want something more intense between them, more of a slap and kiss? (LOL)
