This series is exactly that!
(this said, this is my first review of a drama, and I have been postponing writing reviews for some.. errr, ten years or so)
Now, where should we start.
Does it have a story? Yes.
Do the leads have chemistry? Oh, yes.
Does it provide us with some sweetness? *let's just say: I have never seen a manlier man wearing a teddy bear hat* ..that was not a spoiler, but a way to lure you in. :)
WHY I LIKED IT?
This drama, though it may have it's flaws, gives you one great story of an amazing transformation that a human can have, once we let ourselves go, an put down the defense walls around our hearts. It's also touching a serious topic of child abuse (I, personally, would like to see more of that side of the story, but maybe in some other drama).
It's a slow burner, in the romance part, but it's a furious fire when it comes to emotions. There's a lesson in patience and trust in people, that we should all take from it.
Also, the FL is showing us how to stand strong and see the best in people, in order to help them see the best in themselves. As for ML, I'd have to say: this (more than anything) is a story of letting go of the past and letting people in. And, as scary as that may seem, we see his heart opening up, until he is the "morning sun" (watch the series and you'll understand.
I'd add the second story was also adorable, in a way: it gives the overy-sugary coating to the story, just to water it down a bit, and make a comedic break (though: we never got to know how in the world did the second lead got so head over heels for FL, since all I saw was: both of them in at the same flight back to Thailand, but.. hey, love works in mysterious ways). I'd hand it to Pen, girl can be as bright as a bee and naive as a four year old at the same time, and she played her part perfectly.
THINGS I DON'T APPROVE
(also know as "thing I did not like)
I don't stand for any sort of violence against a woman. As a woman myself, I'd say this: if this was real life, and someone waned to harm me, I'd kick, scream, bite, spit (yes: spit!) and fight for my dear life. We don't see that here, and YES I know we wouldn't have much of a lakorn if it wasn't for a little bit of aggressive behavior in male lead, but some of his actions are just pure sadistic; but if they were trying to teach us of FL amazing potential for forgiveness, then they have given us the lesson.
Less talking, more shooting (I'll try not to turn this into a spoiler). If you are literally having a cliffhanger scene, holding each other at a gun point, do you really need to make a 10 minute long melodramatic conversation. Dear, I'd shoot you just for talking that long.
The police. Yes, the police. They are too KIND. People are shooting each-other, you have at least five open murder cases, and you go about town asking suspects would they kindly admit something?!
THE MUSIC
I gave it a lower score, since there was one major theme, that would play too loud for a sensitive scene we were shown. So, mr. Director, please, tone it down, and find a softer tune, if you want us to get "the feels", please.
RE-WATCH VALUE
Errr, yes. Not everything (I don't want go go thru all the Evil Plotting and endless fillers), but some scenes were so genuinely adorable, that I'd love to see them again.
OVERALL
A good show, kept me on my toes the whole (how long was it?) 14 times 1.5 hours. I gave it an 8, because the ML deserves a 10, but overly dramatic Evil People made me feel like I'm back in the world of Telenovelas.
WATCH IT.. but brace yourselves for some extreme male harshness at the first part.
