I can see there was already 1976 version & 1980 version both with young Pisan Akaraserani... That might be an interesting watch. There's also 2007 version with Aom Piyada, version with Ann Siriam... It all looks more interesting that version with Om & doll-like Nao Tisanart, I'm afraid.
The story doesn't hide that it's dated. Nang'ek is a destiny girl, whom pra'ek knows from childhood. Nang'rai is of course A GIRLFRIEND pra'ek originally dates, and acts like a harpy in her very first scene.
I had the same feelings as every time I watched this story. The man's character is not appealing. First, he dates a woman who has flaws, but had he really loved her he should have stayed with her anyways. I never thought it very romantic that he gradually - usually very gradually - leaves her for the main girl. The virgin. I don't like his behavior towards the main girl either. Mostly he judges and teases her with conceited smile. He is at awe at her beauty, without it, he would not as much as talked to her, really.
So, all this is exactly what modern romantic dramas try to improve. Not this one, apparently. My interest dropped as soon as episode 2. It felt I've already watched this, which in a way is true.
