I'm not a fan of Supernatural, Curse, Reincarnation, Flashback To Past, Past And Present, Karma... basically all the motives listed as Tags here are those I avoid, by now. And Nychaa Nuttanicha in the main role? Not that she is not pretty, but problem with her was that most of her dramas she came across as immature. Young and looking even younger than her age, her kiss scenes were always too careful and awkward. Will she get better now she's now 25, and was already paired with Tono Pakin once previously?

This lakorn, I skipped all the other people. Like Lorena Schuett (I always skip her), Peter Corp Dyrendal (too old now), New Chaiyapol Poupart (also too old now, lol) and Prang Kannarun (unlucky to get paired with Peter Corp Dyrendal here). I watched this for Tono Phakin, really. He is hot, he even has attractive voice. There are only 3 other shows with him left that I still haven't watched, one is crime, one is another supernatural and one is about flash marriage, neither of which is my favourite so the options to enjoy him as a pra'ek are getting slim. That's why I did not drop this after first 3 episodes.

The story plays on the thai very popular buddhist theme of reincarnation. You can see it in any similar series. The characters are always binded to each other due some shared ancient fate, which repeats over and over. Personally, I find it rather boring that just because in one lifetime the character happened to do this or that due to some circumstance, the character then wows to do that (or be that) again in all their next lifetimes for eternity. But, thai seem to love it, so never mind.

But, by episode 5, I had enough of more and more past lives flashbacks. I started to skip those entirely. Some episodes, the rest of the runtime I got to watch was just a few minutes:) They might as well saved it and this didn't need sixteen of them (episodes). I was getting impatient when the guy will learn which girl of the past the main girl actually was. I always like when things are addressed quick. I don't like things to drag. Not that it mattered that much to me, lol... With 2022 year's end nearing, I happily resolved since 2023 to not watch any Supernatural. Which was so long due, should have done it ages ago;)) So, let's hope I'll be able to wrap this up soon.

Ugh... 1st kiss is epi 7 and it's not a good kiss.
So no, Nychaa didn't get better.
If this is what I am skipping though all the stupid "historical" flashbacks FOR, then I'll probably drop it after new year lol;-))

Episode 8: Okay, it's after new year's, now. Looks like I didn't manage all 16 episodes and it's 2023, and my "no Supernatural" rule is already in place. So, I'm wrapping this up early:) In the past, I did not care about the whatever stupid "magic" plot, as long as there was good romantic tension, this lakorn, we get to the bedscene in episode 8 (it's hospital bed, lol) with TonoNychaa kiss, which is cute, but save it for some drama where you're playing uncle & niece, please and good luck next time:)
