Bittersweet...

I'm surprised no one wrote a review for this yet especially considering how this seemed to be popular during its airing period.

STORY:
To summarize it in two words, I'd call this lakorn a "missed potential." There were tons of promising elements and while most of them nailed it in execution, the plot holes were so glaringly obvious that it got frustrating to stick around. I believe the lakorn was eight episodes too long. They could have done the entire arc from episode 5-9 in one single episode and without the unnecessary filler, the result would have been a tightly written, well paced 20 episode lakorn. The time travel element while pretty straightforward, did stagger and get wonky at times. However, I believe the triumph of the story is in its ability to create heartwarming situations out of anything and still make you cry like a baby.

The motif of past and future, actions and their consequences, while having been explored numerous times in time travel dramas, was done so in a much more emotionally charged context, you could feel yourself in the same situation.

ACTING/CAST:
If it weren't for the group of actors who played their hearts out as their characters, this lakorn would just be a mess. Due to the excellent performances all across the board, the lakorn shined despite the setbacks that the writing faced.

Film Thanapat (Pete/Pian) was absolutely amazing in his portrayal of both great- grandfather and great-grandson. His charm is just oozing throughout the lakorn and he's become one of my favourite Thai actors.

Vill Wannarot (Wan) was an excellent heroine. She was eccentric, quirky, hilarious, smart and endearing, and had great chemistry with Film.

Bifern Anchasa (Pink) is the reason I started watching and finished this lakorn. Perhaps the saddest, most self-sacrificing character in the entire lakorn, I cried my heart out for her and fell in love with her all over again. Since Film and Bifern are great friends IRL, that chemistry just burst into fireworks on screen and every little moment they shared on screen together was a delight to watch.

MUSIC:
If nothing else would make me cry, the music certainly did. It was absolutely beautiful and I'm sure I'll be going back to listen to the OST time and again.

REWATCH VALUE:
I don't rewatch anything. I will however, definitely rewatch certain Film-Bifern clips over and over because I'm biased that way and I could kill to see more of their interactions.

OVERALL:
Definitely recommended to everyone especially fans of time-travel romances. The story does get a tad too long so the 2x speed option as well as the skipping ahead options are your best friends.
