A little overrated
Not gonna lie, it was pretty bad for me. Probably the only lakorn I have watched this year that disappointed me. Maybe it has something to do with this being filmed way back in 2016.
Initially, I think that the storyline being set in the 60s is interesting. I wanted to see how it was in Thailand during this period. It had the very common arrange marriage plot which is a troupe but the synopsis is quite intriguing. However, as I am watching it, my interest plummeted. I had a lot of things I didn't like. I ended up watching the last four episode in a 2x speed.
The most annoying part is the ML is so unlikable. He is so self-centered. It feels like everybody had to adjust to him because he lived a pitiable life. He makes the people around him feel like he is the most virtuous man there is. I was pissed about how the FL is the one who should prove she is worthy of his love. Like what?
Our female lead Rin is actually quite okay. She didn't become a pushover in this one especially with the main love triangle issue with Duangsawat. But she is kind of dumb when it comes to Saran. I guess love really makes people dumb. I also feel like the Virgin Mary act was a little bit overacted by Bella.
The OST is really not my cup of tea too actually. It made me sleepy. And I know Thai dramas tend to overuse their background music but this is one of the few where I got irritated. And the amount of flashbacks every episode is too much.
I watched this drama because I loved Bella in Dare To Love and decided to check her older dramas. I watched this straight after finishing Dare To Love so it may be a reason why I thought she is acting a little too Virgin Mary-ish because I still can't separate Rin from Ticha. I was deciding between this drama and Love Destiny but I decided to be petty and picked the one that has a more handsome ML. Lmao. We all make bad choices but I least we got to see the pretty. James Jirayu is an eye candy. I've always wanted to watch his lakorns due to his popularity. I tried Game Sanaeha and that didn't work for me either. I hope someday I'll encounter a drama of his that I'll love.
To sum this up, this is not recommendable. I would never be able to rewatch this one. There weren't even a lot of cute scenes to look back to.
