The plot is heavy so I did doubt if the writers could wrap this up well. And oh boy they did. Every problem was taken care of and they really did give justice to every character. I was only planning to watch this until the main guy figures out that she’s not the real Lookaew (because as I’ve said, I’m not ready for too much drama). But guess who got hooked and can’t stop instead???
What I like about this the most is how we got a super smart lead who literally talks about everything to his dad (this is something we don’t usually see in a drama, because parents tend to be those villains who contradicts their children). I like the dad-son combo and how they teamed up to connect all the puzzles together. There’s so many twists that I can’t even predict what’s going to happen next.
Overall, Nakark Kaew is an addicting masterpiece that you can’t stop watching. This drama hits all the good parts. Just when I thought something's going to happen next, it continued to surprise me and gave me a better scenario instead. I must say the plot is EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD! Yes, it has a heavyyyyy plot but I love how everything fits together and how it got solved in the end. I am usually for the romance, but in this one, I got hooked with both the storyline and romance. I didn’t even skip one bit and towards the end, I was always at the edge of my seat. Highly Recommended!!

The actors were on point the chemistry between the leads were good you felt the love they had for each other there was no “other” in their relationship when they knew they loved each other I dug it. Please watch I’m gonna rewatch a few scenes now before I chose a new lakorn to binge.

Here are my thoughts upon finishing NK:-1) Chemistry between main leads is the BOMB. You can feel how intense it was when RattDa stares at each other. Especially the way Ratt looking at Da. Oh how I wish Dada is me haha. I'm having crush with Film Thanapat damn. Never watched his lakorns before and in NK I realize he is a great actor and very good looking too. Will be following him after this :D Same goes with Natt. She acted two roles here and did great at acting as two people which have a very distinct personality. I ship this couple. Hope they will be paired with each other again in the future.
2) I love how smart and sensible the male lead is in the lakorn. Because seeing the dumb male lead was such a turn off :P
3) The storyline was addicting . I'm the type who love watching makjang drama. Can never get tired of it. NK is one of the example of makjang lakorn done right. It was engaging, with the right pace and not draggy at all. 23 episodes are just nice.
4) I really love the first 18 episodes I would give 10/10 for those episodes only. The last 5 episode were good too but I'm quite dissappointing seeing how less our main couple's screentime together. I want to watch them acting lovey dovey longer at least in the finale but I'm left dissapointed. Nevertheless I love the lakorn.
5) I can never reasoned with Doctor Goson reason for staying with Dee despite all the bad things her wife has done. Just for the sake of love and feeling debtful toward Dee??? His reasoning were all so wrong and twisted. Jeezzz.
6) I love the father -son duo, Ratt and his dad. It was so refreshing to see such as great father-son relationship like what shown in this lakorn. Ratt's father also smart and insightful like his son. He was always there for him and supported him through high and low with actions.
Highly recommended for those who loved Sood Sai Pan and Khun Mae Suam Roy. You might love it like me :)

one of the best thai drama I've ever watched . At first the synopsis feels like the story will be a batch of clichés but the reality is soo much better with:1- a smart ML who never act reclessely nor does he juge by hear say. he's methodical and always invistigate things first then make decisions. If there is a problem he consults with his father ( by the way they form such a good tendem........so cute) and BEST os all he never misunderstood the FL as an imposter who did switch place with the real one for fun/money/ .ect.
2- the FL : the best thing about her is her frankness: she's always so trusting of the ML (may be because of her amnesea) and always speaks what's on her mind no matter if it's troubles, suspision, dubts (about other people or their relationship) or confessing her little lies witch greatly helps clear things bettween them.
R!!! I'he found comments on how the ML kept the secret of her identity but not telling her or her family and he resumed being intimate with her even thought knowing she has a boyfreind!!......But I think he was right : for her security it was best to invistigate , find proofs then confront the culprits. as for their relationship: it's not like he forced her or anything they just liked eatch other slowly knowing and discovering then deepening their feelings, he was always considerate of her and delayed the wedding waiting for her to recovert her memory and marring her under her real name.
3- there are differents kind of villains : there are ones who lacked love and care so turning spoiled and mean, there is the greedy stepmother , there is a corrupted politicien but with botom line and there is the eternal cruel and psyco ones.
4- surprisingly there is NO slap/kiss and NO RAPE ( it's a miracle)
5- the second leads and other caracters arn't there just to fil in the screen time but they do have their purpose and role in the story.
6- ML is a possessive and a dominering type but FL is quite passive and accomodating one so there was no clach on this point (FL find his possessiveness as proof of his love so she was quite happy ... any way she is also a jalouse one!!! a perfect match !!!!)
7- the 23 episodes are just fine without being dragy nor was it rushed ! but I find all that killing a little too much .....but well it's lakorn I'm just used to it !!
so over all IT'S A MUST WATCH !!!! you won't regret it!!!!!

I have to say, I have never watched a lakorn with so many twists and turns. A lot of plot goes on in this that makes the show engaging, and it's fast pace makes it an easy watch. In fact there's a lot that goes on that makes you wonder how they'll be able to wrap up everything in the finale, but it's actually done well and I really have to applaud the director + editor. The characters are all smart and they always know that something's up, which moves the plot along nicely. There was never a dull moment while I was watching this.What made this show special to me was the antagonists and the 2ndry characters. All are flawed but you get why. The villains, especially the queen B that is Khun Dee, are pretty badass here and cross a lot of moral boundaries that makes you believe the rich can get away with anything. Dr. Goson was honestly my favorite of the entire series; we see him constantly struggle between doing what's right vs doing what Dee wants (often morally wrong). We also see him suffer the consequences of his decisions, and you wonder why he would go through such lengths for Dee. It was frustrating to see him protect Dee so much but you understand why at the end and he does get what he deserves.
An honorable mention goes to Ratt's dad. I thought it was cute how he'd involve himself in whatever Ratt was doing, and wholeheartedly support him in solving the mystery regarding Lookaew/Dada. At times he was a bit too easy-going but he did win my heart for how loving and supportive he was.
Now here comes the issue I had with this lakorn; the OTP. Objectively, there wasn't anything wrong with them; Ratt and Dada individually are good people and both say and do the right things. It was especially sweet of Ratt to love Dada for who she was, and was waiting for her to come back to her true self before marrying her. My interest in them was high when I began the drama but it slowly went down as the show progressed. It's weird to say, but I felt like their chemistry was better when he didn't know who she was. I think the lack of emotional stakes on their end, after they got together, made me lose interest (he knew who she was and she loved him so it made their relationship predictable). I was definitely more interested in the 2nd lead couple and spent more time fangirling over them then the main one. I think this just comes down to personal preference, so please don't take it to heart if you think otherwise.
Music was okay here, and I thought the theme song was pretty good. If you have time, then I would recommend you watch it for the plot and cast of characters. Not something I'd re-watch since I know all the plot twists.

To be honest, I started this lakorn with having no hopes, as the script looked like a typical amnesia story, 2 girls look like each other gets involved in a traffic accident, they both had amnesia and things get tangled. Oh my, but the story is not like that.
Dada & Lookkaew they look like each other, they are not twins , two different girls with different personalities, One has amnesia and one has brain injury with less possibilities of recovery...
Things gets tangled after this, when Dada wakes up, she has no memories of her life, but finds herself engaged with Ratt..
Ratt is the only person as her fiance suspected that his fiance Lookkaew might not be Lookkaew but someone else.
First of almost there's no silly leads. There's no rape & no slap kiss.
Chemisty in between the leads are pretty realistic, They had well on screen chemistry.
Hats off to Natt, because things are surrounding on Lookkaew & Dada. Both are different girls with different personas.
Lookkaew is a sexy, unfaithful, party girl, where as Dada is more homely, soft, gentle girl.
What about Doctor Goson, someone needed to slap him till he gets back to his senses. Gason did everything for Rachawadee,but she's just a nasty piece of pie, and yet actually I am sue none of us had questioned their closeness, watch out their scenes and see if you can solve their mystery..
Rachawadee she's just an example of a bad mother.
I love the relationship between Ratt & his dad.
And soon after Ratt advising his dad if he wants to date, dad met a lady. lol (we won't be able to see how relationship develops)
Just a hint Dr. Goson didn't only perfom plastic surgery on Dadda to look like Lookaew ....
The end this lakorn is filled with twists and turns and is a must watch..

The story took me on a ride! I thought we knew everything we needed to know from the synopsis but man was I wrong! Almost never does a drama literally make my jaw drop because I can usually guess what’s coming but I did not see any of this coming!
The main couple was very, very sweet. The first time our FL and ML kissed I thought maybe she just isn’t comfortable kissing but I noticed when she played “evil” twin, her kissing was legit so I’m assuming that the actress herself just wanted everyone to be able to see the difference between her two characters which I can appreciate. FL and ML were still so cute and nice to watch. It was also nice that they were a couple for about 75% of the show which I myself prefer.
I liked how our ML acted like he couldn’t wait to get revenge on our FL while thinking she was the one who cheated on him but only a couple of episodes in and he already likes her lol
It should definitely be on everyone’s watch list who like romance or mystery.

.
Öncelikle dizinin bi cok eksiği vardı ve bazen basrol adamın kişilik bozukluğu var gibi geldi. Geçişleri iyi yapamadığından dolayı. Ama kadın başrol iki rolüde çok iyi oynadı. Bu izlediğim ilk iki rolde tek oyuncu oynan dizi değil. Sud sai pan diziside böyleydi. Ama o diziyi daha çok beğendiğimi söylemek istiyorum. 20 bölüm yeterdi bence veya 16. 23 uzun ve gereksiz uzatmalarla dolu. Dizide dublörler açıkca belli oluyordu. Yani bu kadar olur anca falan demeyin bu diziden daha eski dizide sud sai panda neredeyse dublorün olduğu bile anlaşılmıyordu ve tek oyuncu iki rolü birbiriyle konusurken sanki gerçekten ondan iki tane varmış gibi hissediyordunuz. Bunda iyi değildi keşke o kadar uğraşmaya daha iyi açıyla daha iyisini çekselerdi yazık olmuş. Genel anlamda hikayesi güzeldi sona doğru bi ton bokluk çıkıyo ama final beni pek tatmin etmedi sonunu biraz bağlayamışlar gibi geldi. Neys söyliceklerim bu kadar değildi ama unuttum idare edin. Tekrar izlenmez.Was this review helpful to you?
•Story is very promising. Twists and turns are in every episode which gives a goose-bump sometimes. The realization and climax was amazing. The one thing that betrayed him is the only made Ratt realize the reality and search for truth. Dadas her shopping list were my fav scenes.
•Film thanapat as Ratt was amazing. Most reasonable character I had seen. No rash judgments inspite of getting betrayed and had to live with that same woman who betrayed him. Aniporn as lookaew and dada was very convincing. She had very played the two characters with ease. Their chemistry was amazing, the consummation scene was done beautifully showing the two personalities As special mention to Ratts Dad, most loving and encouraging her child in right direction and supporting him in every aspect. The father-son duo was perfect.
•Music was nice and theme music is really good. I even watched the music video of track. Its really soothing. I suggest every one to watch it.
•Rewatch- yes because there is no slap/kiss.
•Quotes:
You said it. you cant change your mind- Ratt
if everything you are doing is justfor responsibility then don’t trouble yourself- Dada ep 9

I decided to give it a try after reading all the review and comments here. (of course, i had a hard time looking for eng subbed ones as it was all over the place. Luckily, I found Chinese subbed ones (Phew~)
Anyways, so here I am writing my very first review for a lakorn! (yes i always bury myself deep down MDL, so me floating up the water means this drama is worth it)
Story:
At first, im not so sure about the story, it seems like its full of deceit and lying which is something I really hated in a drama, but it wasnt that bad, it was far way better than i thought. The story line was not boring at all ( I did skip 5s each time, but thats just me. I think I watch too much dramas xD). Anyways, Everything seems to be so in place at the right episode. The first 10 episodes or so is more towards romance of the lead, and the next 13 ep focus more on the story progression, which i think is great!
Cast:
When i watched the trailer i didnt really think the FL was my kind of actress that I would look out for. I totally didnt feel the ML and FL fit each other. But I was so wrong! Their chemistry is DA BOMB! The ML is so damn charming and he has the best smile ever! Makes my heart warm XDD And i have to mention!! He is the smartest male lead ever and I like part where he and his dad work together to 'crack the mystery'.. FL lead was brilliant with acting 2 roles. Most of the cast are alright.
Romance:
IF you are a fan of heavy romance (for thai lakorn, this is considered mild heavy), yup..you reading this, you can pick it up now! xD That's all I would say. You watch it yourself.
Overall:
I like how the story progress and how understanding FL and ML are towards each other. Maybe in the first few ep, you would not expect the ML to act in a certain way but its reasonable because the real lookkeaw was really too much.
P.S. The 2nd couple was really sweet too xD

I watched episodes 1 to 10 without hitting the fast forward button but on the 11th episode, I noticed that the scenes became draggy. So sad, I got bored. So I motivated myself to continue watching it because they're acting was superb. I love the male lead and the second male lead. The only thing that annoyed me was the female lead. I checked her background information and hola...she's Ms.Universe Thailand 2015 but then, please respect this opinion of mine. Her face has no convincing power for the viewers to keep on track of the story.
I don't know, I wasn't convinced by the female lead to hold on. Thanks God 'P Ratt and Din Dan were there. I really did wish for the second couple to have more lovey dovey scenes. They do have great chemistry.
My final rating for this lakorn is 8/10. If you are curious about the remaining two points, then give some time to watch this.
Good luck???
