Things I liked:
Peat and the way Pon gave life to & expressed this character. Every scene where Peat is remembering his Mum & her sad lonely life, every scene where he feels unloved & unwanted by his Dad & his resentment towards him, every scene where you feel his pain when suddenly his love for Kiew turns taboo, every scene where you see him hurting more every time he hurts Kiew..... I loved them all. Peat is a very grey shaded character whose actions are bordering on despicable many times but Pon with the director's guidance added this touch of vulnerability to even his cruelest scenes so that even though you hate him for his actions you are still very much on his team and you want him to get his act straight & finally be happy.
Pon & Bua's chemistry was so very amazing right from the cute, loving scenes to the extreme angst scenes. They played off of each others expressions & body language really well. Beyond happy that we are gonna be getting another show with the 2 of them very soon.
The story line was not dragged which is always a good thing. Would have loved more happy moments between Peat & Kiew but everything was still all good.
A Strong female lead. Kiew never took Peat's nonsense quietly. She is hurt because of him, she still loves him but she always fought back. The moment she finds out that it was all an act she asks for a divorce. Our girl was not gonna be a doormat and have Peat use her against Khun Nai. I liked that....
The music was good especially some of the BGM's... they really added the right emotion to some of the scenes. Absolutely love the piano BGM.
Katha & Pa were too cute, was rooting for them from their very first scene
The things I really really disliked
I love Peat but he made me so mad with the whole revenge drama of his. I felt he had every right to be mad at Khun Nai but to use Kiew & even Chaya in his whole reenactment of what was done to his mother was not right. I would have preferred if he fought like a man if you will instead of using women especially the woman he loves and a friend who stood by him even at his stupidest.
The way Khun Nai was shown as this poor loving Dad with a bratty son. I mean kind Sir you started all this drama when you were never a present father or husband to Peat & his mum. I mean come on what son would not hold the resentments Peat held against Nai when he saw from a very very young age a mother who was sad and lonely and who he found crying coz her husband didn't love her and a father who hardly has any time for him but then has all the time & affection in the world for Sa & Kiew. I am all for Nai changing for the better after Panee died but the villainizing of Peat felt too extreme when this man here was the root cause of all Peat's misery.
Chaya was a mess. I mean the way she blindly supported Peat in all his dumb actions... no woman that is not love.
Kris was not necessarily a character I liked but I wasn't really bothered by him either. He didn't really add much to the story for me, just another person that hated Peat & was done with him and we already have many of those
But all in all loved this show, I keep rewatching it again and again.
