Didn't focus on music.
Actors and actress are good at their job.
Worth to watch and re watch.

Story Line
The story line was perhaps a bit confusing, because it didn't immediately match up with the synopsis given, rather took some time to develop. Praew is an author and she goes to the island in hopes of getting inspiration for her new book. However, with her being an author, much was not expanded on. Only in the first episode, you really see her working on her book, as said but afterwards, it wasn't mentioned frequently. Rather than her job being the cause for her there, she actually had another reason.. which will be revealed once you started watching the lakorn.
Captian Jirawat, also known as Tonkla, performs his duty as a navy officer there. Tonkla is very charming and he instantly recognizes Praew, as they have some history together. As captain of the Whale Shark Team, Tonkla has a lot of responsiblties and yet he still tries to make time to pursue Praew. The main antagonists here are Sia Tup and Sergeant Yot. I really enjoyed all of the action and conflict between Tonkla and Sia. Apart from the main couple and the antagonists, we had Praew's friends which all had a side story going on, but nothing that dominated the focus away from Praew and Tonkla.
Acting/Cast
This is not the first time Aom (Tonkla) and Sammy (Praew) paired up to do a lakorn so they were pretty in tune with eachother. I thought they look absolutely splendid together and the characters were well portrayed.
Not only were the main characters well done, but the others were too! The acting wasn't outstanding but it wasn't bad at all. I would say it was commendable.
Music
Apart from the OST in the opening scene (that plays not only for this lakorn, but the other three too.) there wasn't an OST that I particularly remembered, or if there was at all. It definitely wasn't impactful and didn't leave any impression on any scenes.
Rewatch Value
I gave this an 8 because someday, when im actually out of lakorns to watch (prob never), I would consider it. However, I am in no sort of hurry to rewatch this as I have the other 3 lakorns in this series to watch first.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I would say that this lakorn is light and you really don't have to put a lot of thought into watching it because there is no major angst or drama that really makes you all worried or what not. I do remember fangirling when there was an apperance of the other 3 MLs from the series, so when the four of them teamed up, I died. I have a thing for men in uniform so I was really interested in seeing the four of them work together and it was definitely something I'll remember from this particular drama! especially when Karan, Khanin and Pur all started to tease Tonkla about Praew, when she was right there. The charming ML definitely make my heart flutter at times, but then again. which handsome ML doesn't?
In conclusion, if you are considering and really thinking about watching this lakorn, I would say go for it. Don't think too much about it but rather just watch and enjoy.

I think I criticized the stupidity of the "military plot" enough in the past reviews.
This of course features human trafficking and underaged girls being sold to brothels across the border which looks like something that occurs every day in today's Thailand, as it is in EVERY thai ACTION-romance series. Of course it's then solved with such a naivety I sometimes wonder if the real mafia secretly ordered so many blatantly stupid tv shows made on this topic. Or if somebody is just taking a p*ss:)
Second epi kiss is not that bad but it's not much, either. We get to listen to the title song (some kind of annoying soldier "hymn") every episode again... I admire who took the tedious job to subtitle this. It's exhausting to even watch in full and I kept skipping through it. Each episode runs for an HOUR AND a half and that IS a strain. Of course it's in the script that the main girl needs to act like a ninny. When she thinks she'll help somebody lost in the forest, she of course needs to be rescued herself. She spends the night in the forest with her guy and still does manage to make quite complicated hairstyle in the morning which doesn't even flatter her. I occasionally smiled at things like these else I was bored. But when I mention hairstyles, the guy is supposed to be in the army, so it should mean short hair. Instead, he's got the front part so long it needs to be lifted and curled away from his forehead, while he's got it shaved practically to bald on the sides. I'll never understand the asian hairstylists who insist on deliberately making the simple, short guy's haircut into something complicated and unflattering.
Ugh... Dropped after episode 5. The show is filled with fillers. I didn't CARE for any of the plot or numerous side-cast. I didn't care for the main couple. Enough said.
