Yet one more 'Bangkok Rak Story' with Wanida Termthanaporn as the female lead, this time different role. This time, she's only 5 years older than her male partner, not 9 years older, therefore she doesn't wear braided hair in this (only in flashbacks).
As for the story, this one doesn't really have it (kind of reminds me of other Bangkok Rak "Stories"), as the little it did have already got played, and re-played the first 3-4 episodes. Just somehow the characters STILL did not come to understanding, because it needed to get stretched for 13 episodes with them each running their own restaurant separately.
As I naturally cheered for them to be together, I wasn't keen on them being artifically separated or with the classic use (or rather abuse) of the side-character girl and side-character guy to keep the plot going. As for the side girl, I wanted her to just go away, and as for the side guy (he was the T-Rex in U-Prince) I felt bad for him. I never like it when extra person is needed to keep the romance on.
Also it seemed what Wanida's character practically turned into a negative one. Can her romance still continue? Then she cries in remorse... She genuinely is sorry and is forgiven... Then other characters get entangled in the revenge... While other side-characters are cute and funny to watch. It's all a mishmash (just anything to prolong the screentime). It's going in circles with all the characters, all their relationship go back... and forth... and back. If someone seems like they had enough, a lot of effort is made to get them on board, again. Then push them away, again. In short, it's tiring to watch 13 episodes with the material enough for 3.
In the end, the plus guy and the plus girl found a small romance of their own, which was cute. So I no longer did mind their secondary story: on the other hand, I got tired with the main one and with "Gybzy" Wanida. She's got extremely small frame and a smooth face but there is something weird about her as she IS a 35-year old woman. Somehow it still shows. The more annoying her character's immature behavior. Not only was she blocking her own romance, later even somebody else's.
She acted badly towards her boyfriend years back, but she should get wiser in her age. Also, she made romantic gestures for him to forgive her many times already... So, her character couldn't just do one grand romantic gesture in the final epi and get her happyend like they all do. The boyfriend was way too tired by then, and so was the audience... But to let the things go as far as a WEDDING with somebody else is a very old way of a romantic story "climax"... which in this case felt ESPECIALLY old. Even Tai Penpak's happyend was cuter (she is extremely beautiful woman in my opinion, by the way). Pitty the gay best friend didn't have his own side-line & happyend.
