The chemistry that I saw in Sud Sai Pan between View and Toom was sadly lacking in this one. Maybe the scenes with the chemistry were shown when I must have dozed off a dozen times watching this. As far as the bad guys; Easy deaths and all that 'forgiveness, I've seen the error of my ways' scenes. Please!! People after their evil intent just didn't repent enough. Angkoon was NUTS!! Best acting in the drama!
Fans of View and Toom, watch if you dare. It is definitely not the worse I've watched but it had so much potential that was truly wasted. Hate that!

The first lakorn I actually hated
I love me some ToomVill, but this was a disappointment for me.STORY: Honestly, this drama's huberis was its story. The premise was unique, which was good, but very poorly executed. The storytelling was choppy to the extreme; at one point in the drama, Vill twists her ankle, and Toomtam has to carry her. Then the next morning roles around, and it's like the ankle never happened! Frankly, unless Vill has superhuman healing powers, that ankle was a deus ex machina if ever I saw one. And that was certainly not the only time something like that happened.The villain made me laugh. He literally shouted about all his evil plans right outside the OPEN DOORS of the house. Seriously, no one EVER overheard him? Was everyone in this drama deaf?Wathit was just downright terrible as a character. Not a single scene depicts him even feeling SAD about his brother's death, and then he goes and makes a play for his dead brother's wife, all without ANY remorse at all. Any normal human being would have a raging internal battle at the very least, feeling attracted to the dead brother's wife but wanting to honor the brother's memory. But apparently Wathit was above such petty matters. I almost wanted the villain to get the girl, because in my eyes, Wathit was more villainous than Denkhun.
ACTING/CAST: The acting was good for the lousy material given. None of the actors could shine because the script was so bad. Denkhun did do a good job as the villain though, and ToomVill's comedic timing was downright PERFECTION.
MUSIC: The music was awesome. I listen to the soundtrack for this drama all the time, even though I have never rewatched the drama itself.
REWATCH VALUE: That's a funny joke.

Toomtam is not my type to begin with and neither the girly face expressions, nor the beard or that stupid woolen hat suited him. I didn't care for nang'ek to be with either twin... But, as early as in episode 3, Vill's nang'ek marries the gay twin out of compassion. She's scared during their wedding night, but of course she's got nothing to worry about, lol. Meanwhile, the adorable Freud Chatphong has no one else to get "sparks" with here, than x years older Oom Sakaojai... She's like she walked in here from one of her 20 years-ago lakorns where her constant screaming was still in fashion. Then there are the youngsters, Mouse Natcha & Cherreen Nachjaree, enjoying their secondary bickering couple thing, so far in annoying early stages. Hard to say if that developes into something watchable. Gotta say by episode 4, I was afraid I don't have much to look forward to, here...
Still I kept watching for a while more but being thai lakorn, it mostly consists of shouting to make your head ache, but each time someone grabs someone to "violently kiss" them, it's so obviously fake. Each fight and slap is obviously fake... If they insist on kissing & fighting being thai lakorns' main attraction, they really need to step up their game to keep the audience. Nonstop loud yelling & loud music does not make you a drama (but was I grateful for the option to turn the audio lower:) Vill Wannarot is SO boring. She literally keeps the same voice tone saying any thing any time. Toomtam Yuttana's gay twin is annoying... Toomtam Yuttana's woolen hat twin is annoying. Would this become funny after the twins switch? Would it change anything?
It takes 5 episodes to even happen (long runtime episodes).
I decided to wait it out, if I already suffered this much.
Meanwhile, the other suitor keeps bothering Vill's nang'ek every step she goes. I WOULD even cheer for him against BOTH the brothers just for the spite of it, but that actor is not a looker, either. So, not even a reverse-enjoyment in watching this one.
Gotta admit, when the brother exchange happens, there IS at least some entertainment in that. The gay brother is away, bedridden. The other one shaves his beard, combs his hair to regular thai lakorn style which instantly makes him look gay (there we can see Toomtam Yuttana just HAS these dispositions). He also re/unites with nang'ek and tries hard to speak the gay style to her, yet at times smiles for real, which IS funny. So at least this works well. Then he hugs Vill Wannarot's nang'ek, probably with more muscle force than she was used to, which makes her so uncomfortable it is also funny. Perhaps she shall act better now she has something to act. Pisan Akaraserani directed this and he's an actor so he should know what the main leads need to show in their facial expressions to make this enjoyable.
Now, first thing the other brother does is he finds out (very easily) that nang'ek and his brother weren't intimate (even though they were married). Nevertheless, he suspects her keeping an affair with her other suitor. Apart from that, he's not very smart in trying to fit in. He openly acts different than the other brother for everyone to see. And wonder.
Then there's a scene of the married couple going to bed. Nang'ek goes to sleep with HEAVY make-up on. She looks so alluring to pra'ek that he tries to kiss her, but then she opens her eyes and he tries some silly thing to cover up his attempt. Maybe it was supposed to be funny, but Toomtam Yuttana looks gay even if he's not gay.
Circumstances are such that is really easy to believe nang'ek IS having an affair with her other suitor. Pra'ek making his angry faces looks like an annoyed toddler, though. Because no matter what he still looks like Toomtam Yuttana. Of course nang'ek is innocent and is only friends with the guy. Having a husband who looks all girly-girly, plus is all sickly-sickly, I would not judge her even if she DID have a lover. That too even after the twin-switch: because the other twin is not SUCH a difference, lol. But, with the other suitor being portrayed by that Yavapolkul - who would be put in better use openly paired up with the gay twin - it's better that she did not bother and kept the high moral ground nan'eks are supposed to have, after all.
Still, due this interference, there is a slap/kiss scene as the exchanged brother tries to give nang'ek a "hot kiss" in his jealousy (is he jealous for his twin or for himself?), which looks only awkward. In some ways, it doesn't matter that the brothers are switched, as both look like Toomtam Yuttana. He might be straight now, but still LOOKS gay. And the "skinship" with Vill is awful.
Also logic is thrown out of the window as he cares nothing that anyone can see that he no longer suffers with allergies, nearsight and weak fitness. Even less intelligent nang'ek should notice that 1 accident or even amnesia should not change one's whole physical health PLUS sexual orientation? Witnessing other people calling him different name, even that doesn't faze her. And when the formerly feeble guy she used to have to protect starts bullying her, all she does is she sighs in front of her friend saying: "Lately, he seems really strange". LOL.
When he goes on the top of the top, and assaults her in bed (no, don't worry, not as far as r*:) it's lame, too. Doesn't even look exciting. Nevertheless, nang'ek now wants divorce. It then dawns on him he needs to repeat the gay twin's behavior to keep her. When even she reckons she needs to update her behavior, it's a disaster. Some scenes, Toomtam Yuttana is so uncomfortable to watch that it's scary:D I could live with seeing less of him wriggling his bum and stuff.
Mouse & Cherreen start being cute around 10th episode. I didn't even want to return to watching the "main" couple. Which is at stage where they become closer by having an adventure together. Most of what they do "in the woods" is downright stupid... And then we're nearing the end. Things should get revealed now, shouldn't they? I realized nothing really exciting have happened actually, between nang'ek and her fake husband. Nothing the male antagonist (the gay looking one) really done except some nasty talk. And then we had last 2 episodes remaining. Not that I would be really excited about the stupid corny plot, but other thing is when, for most of the series, even that is not happening. Then, the scriptwriter finally remembered one episode before last.
I must say that apart watching Moo Dilok in one of his "nasty papa" roles, there was hardly anything funny and I did not cheer for nang'ek to be with someone who was pretending to be someone else. I know it's supposed to be "normal" in lakorns to forgive such thing eventually. Though one cannot imagine it practically, how could they still be together even if they tried. But, we need the happyend, right? So, there's the demented action final... I really "admired" how many bullets the bad gay (hmm... not a typo:) had in single gun. The teenagers also have their happy ending, though obviously written by a scriptwriter of a different age group, so he's like offering her a ring on a school campus. Eh, what a forgettable and dated lakorn. Watch if you wish to waste your time.
