In the beginning the story is slow
I will defiantly not be watching Baan Sila Dang again. The storyline was ok, I really had a problem with the writer portraying Camilla Kittivat Kirn known as (Pon) playing very timid and naïve. It was to the point that I've started fast forwarding on her parts. I was so glade when Nicole Kittivat, known as (Pen) decided to switch her and her sister places. Meaning (Pen) will live in the father house and take care of the father and (Pon) will live with the mom and help take care of her million dollar business. (Pen) made this drama interested because she stood up against anyone who came up against her and her family. Unlike (Pon) she doesn't want to cause problems so she keeps her mouth shut about the people around her that is bulling her. She portrays this role to all 15 episodes.Was this review helpful to you?

Beautiful 20-year old twins dating guys over 30
So, does it really matter which one with which? Well, one guy is 16 years older, the other "only" 11 years older, LOL. I finally got to watching some of the new generation nang'ek lakorns. Only find it a bit sad the new nang'eks got paired up with slightly tired, old pra'eks. Shouldn't there be a new pra'ek generation, too? Where are they? Are they all in lakorns like 'Tra Barb See Chompoo', in roles they are not mature enough for? They should be HERE!:)My only fun here, in truth, was watching the twins, as the cast is real twins (else I'm not really interested in twins stories). Like, I always wondered, whether I would be able to tell them apart, say by hair... or voice. And it's true: the way they speak IS different. I have a good ear:)
Story-wise, it's built on the fact the two guys knew the girls already. Knew them as being incorrigibly feisty/timid. THEN they switch. Though they still look exactly the same, that character change stirs their dynamics and feelings get developed that were not there before. It's a nice story, just the guys made me a bit uncomfortable. I couldn't help it... By 2015 this was filmed, Vee Veraparb already started aging so that I wasn't keen on seeing him with Nune Woranuch again, let alone getting on with a girl who barely stopped being teenaged. Nimtaisuk Thanapon is also uncomfortable on the eye with such a young girl. When both the main guys started featuring in "humourous" scenes like them being seen with their fly open in the bathroom, I really thought younger cast would be better.
It's also emphasised dramatically that the twins are linked to the point that when you start strangleing one, the other starts gasping, LOL. Of course it's a common folklore about identical twins, who look so alike they always made other people's head spin. But in the beginning, there are so many scenes with one twin experiencing so much of physical and mental state of the other, that it's a wonder if there's any time for them to actually live THEIR own life, LOL. Soon even the scriptwriters realize this and start giving this in smaller doses, just when this dramatic effect adds most to the situation. If the script doesn't require it, then they suddenly don't feel the connection. Perhaps their network got overloaded at that time, LOL.
Then there's the issue with the mother who hardly can be ignorant as to how many babies she's given birth to, LOL. Or the fact that one of the guys is a policeman (though VERY observant one, apparently), LOL. After watching 50% and more of the lakorn, it was already all quite boring for me, though the stepmother & stepsister do have funny hairstyles. I was constantly on a verge of dropping this, I didn't care much for it, yet I didn't really mind it, so I managed to wade through all the 15 episodes. Turns out, I might have dropped this after first 2 epis just as well... I didn't even mildly enjoy the romance (of course there is kidnapping in the final) so it's not even average 5.0.
