TL;DR - A good slap kiss with great eye candy in our leads. More or less a good one time watch, just because it's hard to suspend your belief the second time around with the hijinks that occur.

I was conflicted on whether to give this a 7.5 or 8 - ultimately I decided to score it higher because I really did enjoy watching the lakorn when it aired and it was the first one where I was watching it live (so I actually had to wait for new episodes, check for spoilers on Twitter and obsessively refresh the translator's page haha). Overall it was entertaining and the story is pretty cohesive, though there are two major things in the story/characters that threw me off and I think would throw everyone off.

1. The infamous beginning. Tbh, there was no rhyme or reason for why Prin chose to believe a stranger and do what he did to Mitra. Especially since later he does all these nice and thoughtful things that completely contradicts how he was in ep 1. Granted, he does feel guilty about it and somehow that guilt forms into love (which I don't 100% buy into bc I think love happens when you get to know someone. But it didn't deter me from believing in his love for her.). Honestly, the fact that Prin apologized, begged Mitra for forgiveness, felt guilt and had her best interests at heart makes him leaps and bounds better then some pra'eks I've seen in the past (where they do that sh*t and don't apologize or feel guilt for what they did to the FL). In retrospect, this is a pretty sad standard to have in today's day and age, but I get that slap-kiss lakorns tend to be like this. For what it's worth, I like that they showed a pra'ek that did that, and showed how he tried to redeem himself to a well earned forgiveness. So Prin gets a gold star from me.

2. Mitra forgiving Prin early on in the series. This honestly threw me off and I had seen this in the previews, but was hoping it wouldn't go down the way it did. It confused me bc Mitra was all about hating on Prin and never forgiving him for what he did, so it really surprised me that after him saving her that one time, she was willing to forgive him. Then Prin pulls a noble idiot on her and she really ramps up her anger and hatred for a long while after. I felt like this should've been switched; if Mitra had all that anger and unwillingness in the beginning, but then saw how good Prin was, it would've made more sense that she was changing her mind about him. This was just a part of the lakorn I couldn't think about too hard, otherwise it would've ruined the watching experience for me.

Past those two points, I really enjoyed the romance. I loved how Prin saw Mitra as his whole world and just adored her. I love how he went against his dad to get Mitra's dad's permission in trying to court her. I also liked how Mitra didn't make it easy for Prin - I know some viewed her actions as extreme and immature. I think that was intentional - to me it looked like Mitra was so blinded by her anger to Prin that it caused her to lose sight of what was really important and be really biased of Prin's intentions to her. But when Na calls her out her behavior and she finally allows herself to accept her feelings for Prin, it makes for a pretty sweet journey to their HEA.

My favourite characters are the 2ndry couple, and surprisingly Prin's dad. Shoutout to Pam for being a great villain. I loved Chen's actor in another lakorn, so I was a little sad that he was a playboy in the beginning. But I loved how he saw what he was doing was wrong and genuinely tried to change himself and work hard, and dumping that b Pam on her butt. Na is an amazing character as well, blunt and very wise, and just someone you want to have in your corner. I was very happy they both got together. Prin's dad was a surprise to me, because I was actually touched watching him turn from a villain to someone with regret who just wants to be a better person.

I thought the music was well done here and played appropriately. I really like the two main songs and have them in my playlist.

All in all while I certainly enjoyed watching it, I don't think I would rewatch. Maybe for the Prin +Mitra parts, but the two aforementioned problems I had with this lakorn will bother me too much. For me, it's a good one time watch lakorn. I also feel a little guilty for saying this, but as much as I like Kem and Mookda in this lakorn, I felt like an older pair would've made this lakorn a bit more believable to watch (K+M look too young to have kids). But I think they did well in their roles and if you don't mind the beginning, then I'd recommend you watch.
