This is my first review but this show jumped into my favourites list by the fourth episode and moved into number one position by the finale. While having many of the elements that are repeated in Thai dramas , this show delivered it all in a different package.
The casting was spot on , the performances were that of a true ensemble . The characters were so well drawn that even the vicious villains were multi dimensional. Each episode delivered humor ( laughed out loud), pathos, romance, sadness . There is even one scene where, reminiscent of the classic Steel Magnolias, I went from teary to laughing within a minute!!
I normally follow actors in shows and trust in their selection of projects but this time I am definitely going to pay attention to both the script writer and director. This show was one that would stand out as a fine Asian drama !!
I mean they even manage to have a scene where the arch villain gets to deliver a scathing view of the impact of poverty on women.....while staying in character!!
This is an enjoyable show on many levels and I look forward to watching again in the future. ( Of course, this is just my opinion but I do hope it gets recognized as great entertainment)
