Another 'Love To Kill' themed lakorn is not my favourite... Even the cutie Jes Jespipat looks something between junkie and psycho at first glance. The premise is - typically for a lakorn - as "smart" and "credible" as they get. That includes the main characters. Everyone is a cartoon here, as it's inevitable for the naive story to "work"... Not only is Jes' assassin character obviously idealized, so is Mo Monchanok's sweet girl's. Someone who is a daughter of a person who orders assassinations probably won't have such sweet disposition even if she dreamt of it. AND she won't hang out in public places with total strangers. But, it IS a lakorn:)
Other cast includes: Ak Akarat, who works well with Mo Monchanok and I wouldn't mind seeing this oncreen couple again with better ending than in 'Tawun Thud Burapah'. No such luck, he's not to be paired with her in this one. Willie McIntosh, who is ridiculous in his role. Then again, he was ridiculous in all his roles since he reached middle age. Woonsen Virithipa, as Jes Jespipat's fangirl. A 36 year old fangirl. She appears onstage as a bar singer with seduction and sophistication. Then she acts like Jes' 25 year old brat with messy hair is her dream man. What can I say, Convincing & Credible really seems to be the theme of this series. The assassin boss looks like some gay side-character, while the authoritative looking guy just goes around mopping floors (if HE'd been secretly the real boss, then it could be appreciated, this way it is just another wrong typecast).
The script goes for actions these kind of characters can't afford to take. Soon as ending of episode 2, the secret assassin takes main girl he just rescued from multiple attackers - instead of leaving her at public place where her father would easily collect her - to his place, letting her know where he lives. Which alerts her dangerous father as to where his daughter went and with whom. All scenes are over the top and Jes obviously had to hit the gym before shooting the drama portraying him an almost invincible fighter. But with Mo Monchanok, who more or less has a body of a middle schooler, he can carry her under one arm if needed. The idealized assassin is in love, growing even less interested in the money to be made in his job, which doesn't go unnoticed by his boss. Even he gets alerted: a subordinate uninterested in money won't be easily controlled by it.
Romance has a fast progress. The girl becomes friendly with the guy and after several events, which should make her curious, she tells him that she loves him at 1/3 of the series and he says it, too. It was weird because at that point I was expecting a different kind of conversation. She literally knew NOTHING about the guy. How do you love someone you don't even know?
After he gets involved with her he has to tell her SOMETHING, so he gives her some information about himself which is pretty cryptic. Girl has no idea she just started dating a hitman. While her best friend/suitor is a policeman. Her father is a mafia. Now DO you understand why is it my opinion that romantic lakorns are stupid enough as they are even WITHOUT any crime theme added? If romance is stupid, then it's still somewhat okay it's ROMANCE, lol.
He tells her the truth exactly at 1/2 of the series. But, it's not such a huge news considering she's got way worse criminal at home as her father. Eh, did I mention that drama writers NEVER know that less is more? Anyways. Main guy wants to start a new life with his girl, he swears that he won't kill again. Only his girl's father is determined to kill HIM. Solution presents itself in both the girl and the guy leaving abroad. First, girl says to her father that the guy disappointed her and asks his permission to go abroad and forget. Then the guy can quietly join her there later... Over there, he'll just be a nobody. Her father won't have a reason to deal with him (he's currently dealing with a drug related turf war to keep him busy anyways). But, who cares. This lakorn's writer just wants to continue their whatever story, here... So, let's see. Yes, next we have some heroin momma adopting the bar singer as her protegee/lesbian interest/employee/whoknows.
Yeah, you guess right I had enough of this after 10 episodes, yet it runs for 18.
Still I watched episode 11, and after it I realized I didn't care whether the main couple stays together or breaks up. I didn't care whoever of the supporting characters wins the drug war/gets arrested. So. As I genuinely don't care who'll get the happy ending and who'll die in this drama... Hop on, on my Dropped pile:)
