The background instrumentals are amazing and this show really evoked emotion in me that no Asian drama ever has. The show is not afraid to take risks, and the sex and violence is not gratuitous, there is meaning behind every action. My issue with this drama was the last episode, it seemed like it was from a different show. I wish they had established the final climax event in a earlier episode and some of the characters such didn't seem to change at all. I would have liked to see a few of the characters change through their actions not their words.

Waste of time
This lakorn is the waste of my time. I don’t know why they need two popular nangeks for this one. They can just pick Jenny T and find fairly new nangek to play Bella character . I don’t think I can be forgiven like Bella character toward praek. He did so many wrongs to her. Three times, he left her once for Jenny and he did it again and have kid with her and Bella ended up raising their kid. That’s so unfair lol 😂 I am done complaining. Why would you trust your ex and then expecting your current wife to have faith in you when you burn her once. Bella character should have happy ending and I don’t care what you say but in real life of the betrayal is done then nothing can’t fix it again. Move on !Was this review helpful to you?

Reality slap slap
Such a heartbreaking story, as real life is. In my country we have a saying " life beats movies" meaning, whatever movie screen wright you see, there will always be a real story much more shocking to beat it.The quote " if you expect life to be fair with your because you are fair, is like expecting the lion to not eat you just because you didn't eat him." summaries the first 10 episode of the movie and the nativity of the FL, thou I believe was more reality rejection than nativity, she is no stupid lady.
There are a lot of stories about how opposite attracts, related to couples, not so much related to friendships, but this is the same or even more accurate for friendship. I life long friend, you expect to be there for you in good and bad and not betray you. Again, as in a couple relation, in friendship one part will be the one more understanding and giving to the other part.
I saw the main story here as but the journey of 2 friends, 2 sides of the coin trough life. and I saw the romance story the background story to give it meaning. I can say I found the ML disgusting real. Was he bad, no.. he was just a weak human. Why ? because we all have desires and lust, but here comes what separates us from animals, the power to decide to reject this behaviors. Why Pim forgive him at the end? I have literally no god damn idea and is pissing me off, things like : he didn't love her, or he was doing this for revenge? Seriously, are this comforting anybody ? Is just lying to yourself and is even more damaging for your own soul than what other people are doing to you.
I can say I appreciate people who from the beginning say they cannot commit and they stay to casual relationship, at least they are true to themselves and also they don't hurt people around them.
Finalizing and revisiting some key scenes of the movie, I still have some pending questions : are we really able to forgive and forget cheating ? are we able to erase from our minds the moments when we saw our partners with another person? can trust be rebuild?
Don't get me wrong, lots of couples are cheating and they still stay together, but is there still a unity between them ? when you put your head on the pillow next to the partner who cheated you, can you still sleep comfortable? Here is where the movie went terribly wrong for me.... I would have still helped Jai Rerng and also Rerk to raise the baby and keep a civilized relation with them, but going back together and live happily ever after ? Seriously, no !
Overall all I give it 9.5 as it kept me talking with the characters while I was watching it :)

It's really good actually, try it!
FIRST: I really actually liked this drama. I have never watched something this romantic and dramatic in a long time. My soul feels good! Thank you, Plerng Boon.Story: The story is not hard at all to understand. I love dramas with an easy or understandable storyline. This is really easy to understand first of all. Second, I really enjoyed this type of storyline. I'm a sucker for romance and drama!
Acting/Cast: The cast did so well! I really could'nt imagine anyone else in this drama. Shout out to Janie. She did really amazing! Great Job!
Music: The music was beautiful. I loved "Sia Raeng" and "Nae Jai Rue" both! They were just lovely. And I loved how the osts weren't really about love. It was abbout friendship. beautiful.
Rewatch Value: There is a good chance I'd tune in a rewatch some!
Overall: I gave this and 8.0 because it was a great drama worth watching. Really, give it a try! It's a drama that I don't ususally come across!
Moral inspired by Rerng: "Money can't buy happiness."

Janies overacting ruined it for me
To be honest, the story and the overall acting in this lakorn were very good!Even if you do not like the cheating thrope, it is worth watching for some of the best Thai actors.
What ruined it for me was Janies weak acting. She has never been a strong actress and always needed her partners to "help" her - but this has already been discussed on many webpages on many occasions, so I won´t go into it.
However, one could overlook her weak acting skills because of her youth and beauty. Now, one can clearly see, that she needs to overact especially the emotion "angry". She is not a natural actress - she does not act naturally, every emotion and every facial feature are trained and do not come to her because she can really "feel" them on set.
Bella, Pong, Louis and Bua were on point and acting great - as always. Altough I am not a fan of Bua, one has to appreciate her acting skills, which she has refined over the years.
