Nee Kiattiyot (2020)

Good title song. Main couple confessed to each other and decided to date in episode 7 out of 30, so it looked like there won't be much romantic tension in this one... Luckilly, things got interesting again. Second couple shared way more feisty interactions but it was bordering on the line as she acted batsh*t crazy and he looked bit more like her uncle than her lover. I was annoyed with the early dynamics, based on that some characters were poised and calm in ANY situation, while other characters were over-the-top aggresive/hysterical in ANY situation. Even the characters dialogue mentioned that they need to update their behavior, lol.

The main couple reunited in episode 15 out of 30, but again we could see only hug a hand kiss, tops. If we progressed to as much as kiss on the cheek, it got interrupted. Also, praek's rich family was fighting the girl by allowing her to marry pra'ek under the condition that she won't register her marriage, and thus prove she's not with him for his money. Both pra'ek and nang'ek happily agreed to this as a "proof" of their true love. While in fact they could just exclude her person from all the wills, if pra'ek really loves nang'ek he WOULD register their marriage to give her the right status, if nothing else then for the sake of their future children. It was clear the family just wanted to keep the chance for another woman to step in. Of course the stupid moron sister didn't quit it, either... The number of people lining up to break-up the main couple started getting ridiculous.

As a wedding gift, pra'ek gives some property to nang'ek, which nang'ek's father previously owned and lost. Pra'ek's father is furious. At nang'ek place, I would say I'll return the property but I want the marriage registered. But no. Nang'ek can't speak for herself. It's actually her who should be bloodthirsty after her dad committed suicide because of financial distress caused by pra'ek's dad. But no, it's the pra'ek's dad who shall make a life hell for his new daughter-in-law...

At least after the "wedding", nang'ek starts being healthy possesive of her pra'ek. Finally she speaks out. Seeing this, pra'ek smiles from ear to ear. Second couple line starts to be cute too, after the younger sister starts being more sensible. It's good to see her personality got better due her stay at the second pra'ek's house and good people in it. So despite the mismatched cast, I started to cheer for this couple. Sometimes people grossly incompatible with each other can actually be right for each other. I am for true love no matter what;)

Meanwhile, pra'ek's dad employs nang'ek in his office, where he lets her be as harrassed and bullied as possible. Luckilly she is shot in some stupid "crime action" sub-plot and gets a sick leave. Things get interesting again after nang'ek learns about the measure of pra'ek's dad evil doings towards her dad. She finally starts feeling vengeful towards him, this colouring even her relationship to pra'ek sour.

Her character, which kept resilient against bitterness, finally touches the dark side. Since then, the crazy secondary female is no longer needed, lol. Yeah, immediatelly Mo Amena's scenes felt surplus... But now, nang'ek starts being offensive even dealing with HER. I just hoped this won't turn into usual henhouse fight. Nevertheless, it's good that nang'ek finally speaks for herself, after she got abused, almost raped & killed, all for a guy who didn't as much as register marriage with her (now she simply makes him do that, when not thinking of their love anymore). Kinda sad she had to turn "mean" to get her basic human justice. But yeah, we are in a lakorn world, lol.

So, at least this is not boring for all the 30 episodes. In the end, the boredom of this show got only prevented by one sister to quit being mean, and the other sister to quit being nice;) Now that she hates her pra'ek, she discovers that she's pregnant with him, of course... Circle thus closes.
