I was scrolling through Twitter when I saw the promotional posters for this lakorn and saw Fern (the main actress). I hadn't seen any projects of hers since Hua Jai Sila and the premise of this one interested me greatly. I wanted to see how it was executed and wanted to feel some angsty love. I gave it a go and here's what I think:

1. Story
I wasn't impressed with the story in the beginning, because I found the execution to be lacking. However once I got past episode 6, I didn't look back and essentially binged watched because the story was so damn good. The layers of lies and secrets they built in the early episodes slowly unraveled one by one like an onion and it was very entertaining. There was always something exciting going on. The pacing that the secrets get revealed maximized dramatic effect, so it was interesting to see how the characters reacted, and what their next move was. The story was always being pushed to its limits and it was unpredictable. Overall, I was impressed by the story and production, and it's the first time in a while that I kept watching just to see how it all ended.

2. Leads
The leads were interesting in that they were your typical poor girl/rich guy but with a twist. Nuch was the more no-nonsense, realistic lead while Tham was more emotional and wore his heart on his sleeve. It made for a different dynamic and it was interesting to see how these traits played out. I thought Fern and Tre did a good job with their characters, and it helped that they're both good-looking and complement each other (I especially enjoyed how the screenwriter/director seemed to use any excuse to keep Tre shirtless haha).

3. Secondary Cast
When you have a storyline as crazy as this and with the lengths that it was pushed, it can only be good if all the actors/actresses are committed to putting on a good show. Frankly, all of them delivered. I have to give big kudos to the cast in general (primary and secondary) because they all acted their pants off and were a big part in why this was such an exciting show to watch. They all made the crazy things seem believable and it was easy to immerse myself in the story because of them. My fav character is Tham's lakorn writer friend and my MVP is That. That was so heartbreaking for me because of how self-sacrificing he was and how he just wants to make everyone happy. What happened to him was a big injustice and I hope Toy's next role won't be as sad.  

4. Romance
Surprisingly the romance was my least favourite part of the lakorn and was the main reason why I wanted to drop this early on. The foundation for their love story was not believable and (I hate to say it) felt forced. I think it was unfair for Tham to get ragged on for not being with Nuch faster, when he got badly burned by moving too fast in his previous relationship. I also don't know where he got the conviction to say she was the one even though they went on like 3 dates. As for Nuch, I didn't see why she would fall for Tham with how immature he was. I felt like a no-nonsense woman like her wouldn't really pine for a guy who she had a few dates with. I guess love doesn't always make sense and when you know, you know? Sure you could have that kind of romance set-up but I was not a fan of how they executed it here, and unfortunately didn't feel invested in their relationship.

5. Overall
This was one of the rare lakorns where I didn't like the beginning, but grew to enjoy more as it progressed. The story and acting was just too good. The romance was serviceable. The music was bopping and there was a lot of variation; I actually looked up some of the songs and added them to my playlist. I don't think I'd re-watch this because I know the plot twists. I'd totally recommend this if you want an entertaining, well-acted drama with eye-candy leads.
