Very slow development, all the good bits in the latter episodes
Believe the reviewer who said first half of this show is draggy. I must be one of the few handfuls who felt badly let down after the number of enthusiastic reviews. It is a pity because the storyline was interesting while the acting from the two male leads was good.
My main issue is that none of the characters were emotionally engaged enough with each partner, or the audience until very late in the series (after Ep13 for me). I blame the scriptwriters for this unbalanced emotional development and depth. So bad that I FF'ed at high speed until Ep 11 (seriously wanted to drop it). As many reviewers have mentioned, the FL Jinny is indeed the character who was the most emotionally available AND STILL I found her to be loud and annoying until after Ep 7 when she cried ( after this episode she gradually stopped yelling like an auntie vegetable seller from the market).
The 2nd FL by actress Bua was an unengaging character for the bulk of the show - she wasn't hateful but she wasn't particularly relatable/appealing either, even after the emotional events in Ep13 (Ep13 did more for the flawed 2nd ML than for her tbh). I can sympathise with her situation rationally but not emotionally. You have to wait until the last couple of episodes to feel something for the 2nd FL. Again this was how her character was written.
Only 7.5/10 for me. A pity because this show could have easily done better to reach a 8.5 or 9. Watch if you are a fan of the main leads or don't mind a VERY slow "start". P.S/ If there is any consolation, the last few episodes were great and the ending, for once in a lakorn, is not rushed and properly fleshed out.
