Not as frustrating as most lakorns

TL;DR coming straight from BPS with no experience with other lakorns, you'll be disappointed. However, it's actually pretty good.

STORY:
TL;DR The love story's AWESOME, the plot is frustrating at best SPOILERS ONLY IN THIS SECTION OF THE REVIEW

The major issue I had with the story was the evil girl. *sigh* she was too much-- seriously... who acts like that??? Everyone in the drama is a serial cheater. They forgive the evil girl-- which is great, but how on earth could the leads allow her to LIVE WITH THEM???? Pope suspects she's trying to KILL Bella, so what does he do?? He "keeps a closer eye on the evil girl" Bruh. If your girlfriend's and unborn baby's LIVES might possibly be at stake, YOU KICK THE GIRL OUT. So yeah. Typical nang rai getting all up in everyone's business, with no one bothering to keep an eye on her.

That being said, I looovvveeed the love story! Min and Picha's characters were very well-rounded, especially for a lakorn. I loved how they showed Picha's difficulty in committing to another relationship (though it was a little frustrating). It's hard after a divorce! Especially a nasty one like hers! Any misunderstandings the couple had were resolved on the spot, which is something you NEVER EVER see in lakorns. They actually communicated with each other lol. Min was so patient and level-headed, but we also see that he's imperfect in his relationship with his dad. They're both so believable.

ACTING:
Pope and Bella have done it again! This drama made me realize something: not only do they have amazing chemistry, but their acting styles complement each other perfectly.
ALSO, REAL KISS SCENES. In which we see Pope, our favorite cinnamon roll, making use of his kissing skills-- another thing you NEVER EVER see in lakorns.
Everybody else was convincing and worked well together!

MUSIC:
I'm sorry Bella... but you need to stick to acting... amazing actress, terrible singer. Pope's passable at best.
The other songs were great, though!

REWATCH VALUE:
Only worth rewatching for Pope and Bella's scenes.

OVERALL:
A good lakorn-- not amazing, but good. Recommended for the avid Pope and Bella fan who has preferably seen a few lakorns before.

Like many people have said for those who have little experience with lakorns might find this disappointing but for us who have more experience with them, this show wasn't as frustrating as some of those out there. For starters yes there is an evil character who tries to mess with the lives of the leads but what series doesn't have that cliche. Our two leads didn't have any big misunderstanding because they saw the true colors of the evil character and they were careful. We also don't have the cliche of one of the female lead friends falling in love with the male lead and teaming up with the bad character. I was skeptical about mint at the beginning but from start to end they kept her character loyal to Aim. We also have Mr. Natt who I thought was going to be a headache but he ended up respecting the choice of the female lead and he helped her. I won't lie and say when they first introduced Preuk(male leads half brother) I thought we were going to have another evil character since that's a cliche that happens with most lakorns and dramas in general but again I was proven wrong and he was a good character. Overall this is one of the best lakorns out there especially since they didn't include many cliches and we only had one real antagonist.

Would I rewatch? Maybe in the future, because I already know the small plot twists etc...


Do I recommend watching? Yes!!! You won't waste your time with this drama, from start to finish it was good. It's not full of fluff but we have a couple who has little to no misunderstanding in their relationship once they begin and we have wonderful supporting characters that helped them. Also for once, we don't have a weak female lead who needs saving from the male lead.
