This is a pretty tame lakorn compared to the others that I have seen so far! No slap and kiss, no violent screechy Nang'rai, a SML who backed off easily and no evil relatives. What you get instead is a fun, slapstick and cute show that also addressed certain social issues like environmental conservation, as well as drug and sex trafficking. On the whole, it was a well-executed story. It seems to be a popular show with this being the 5th remake!

It was a fun watch and the major draw for me was the really great rapport and interactions among the different actors. There were a few one-dimensional characters but for the most part, everyone played their roles well. There were serious moments but the show did a great job interjecting comedic moments and sound effects so the scenes never got too dark. A warning though - there were guns and violence but nothing makjang or over the top.

Oom Hosuwan and Mai Sirisantana have good chemistry but I personally find Oom acting too cutesy at times as Mewadee and I don't see her matching nicely to Songpao's more matured charms. As adorable as Oom is, Mai is on a whole different level of hotness. I think there was a missed opportunity for the writer to develop Mewadee's character further, as she learned to navigate and adapt to life in the city. They started off well with different elders including Songpao offering life lessons but somehow that messaging got lost. If Mewadee displayed more growth and maturity as she spent more time with Songpao and his family, I would have enjoyed the couple's slow burn romance more. That said, the romance when it finally happened was pleasant. Mewadee was an awesome female lead - strong, smart, brave and pretty but too stubborn for her own good. Songpao was like the perfect male lead, not leading anyone else on, drawing the line clearly with Wan, always decent and charming, and once he realized he loved Mewadee, was steadfast in his pursuit of her. It was funny seeing him trying to stick to being the good guardian who should love Mewadee as a daughter at first. Thank goodness he had his dad to set him straight, telling him to follow his heart especially where there was no wrong doing.

I loved the families - Songpao's parents and Mewadee's elders were awesome, wise and supportive. On the other hand, the secondary couple was so so. Jaet was a pretty bland but upright character. I did like him for his loyalty to his friends and his filial piety to his father while still standing on the side of goodness. His role in the love triangle was more to stir up Songpao's feelings for Mewadee. While Wan was not your typical clingy, crazy second female lead, she was passive-aggressive and scheming hiding behind a virtuous mask. Annoying but nothing that will make your blood pressure rise. The two actors who played Jaet and Wan were fine but in general, there were no characters that required the actors to flex their acting muscles much. That included Mai and Oom.

The music selection was excellent - catchy and fitting. My favourite was เป็นไปได้ไหม /Bpen Pai Dai Mai (Is it Possible?) by Tar Mr.Team & Lookwa Pijika that played during the more poignant moments between Songpao and Mewadee. A shout out to NekoMeowMeow for subbing the show and providing links to the songs.

Overall, I would recommend this show if you are in a mood for a light humorous lakorn that delves into certain serious topics.
