It's been a while since I watched a lakorn. The most recent one I finished as Love Destiny. I enjoyed it so much that I was looking for my next lakorn. A friend recommended this series, so far I’m halfway and I’m not sure what I feel about it. For sure it is not the next Love Destiny.

What I like about it:
Lately, I’ve been fascinated by the history of past love. So it was intriguing to see the setting of this in a small town by the Mekong river (correct me if I’m wrong).

The opening theme, I heard of the song prior to watching the series but watching and hearing it play throughout the series just made me appreciate the music even more.

What I didn’t like about it:

Everyone wants to kill FL and find ways to hurt her. I think every episode there was at least someone new that wanted to hurt her or something new that can kill her.

You had to be patient and watch it through to understand what happened in past. I didn’t like that we didn’t get more sneak peeks even when we were halfway through the series. It was hard to fully understand the depth of their love at this point.

The ML was asleep almost all the time when crazy events happened at night. For example, mom was going to get the sword that can hurt her FL and they end up chasing her and throwing her body over the cliff. He woke up the next day to look for her.

When lady nakee asks who would ML love and he answers he loves FL but yet it was because Nakee that he is in love with her….hmm..I don’t think follow this reasoning.

We’re just a few episodes away from finishing. And I was expecting a tear-jerker but I still have yet to shed a tear. Yes, I’m upset at what they are doing to FL and I think that typically in lakorn but it is not enough to justify me to cry about it. I am disappointed, I was expecting a bit more. I guess it was one of those where the love didn’t build up like how Love Destiny was therefore, I have a hard time watching this.

Edit: painfully I did finish this series. It is one of those you have to watch to the end to understand the history of what happened. I wish someone could tell me, ML and FL fell in love in a previous life. She had a child and the humans end up killing her, causing her to go crazy and attacked the humans. In order for her to be with her love one, she has a trial/waiting period of 1000 years before she can become human. This brings us to the present. Very typically a star-cross lover story. The end was satisfying, finally, all the bad guys died after all that they did to her, especially her child. I know there is a part two and I know it is not on my “to watchlist”. Only recommend it if you enjoy the cast, the storyline was painful for me.
