Interesting, but disappointing
Nabi my Stepdarling was my second lakorn, as i initially viewed kleun cheewit and really enjoyed it. What really attracted me to the drama was the male lead, joss, who was very handsome. Not to be bias, but I was interested in the show mainly because of him, however after viewing the first few episodes, I realized it was not as boring as it looked.
Story
The story was not that interesting, as 80% of it entailed nabi finding her sister after she somehow disappeared without a trace. In terms of development, at first it was the type of drama that left you interested on what was to come in the next episode. It involved many secrets from different parties and I guess that’s why it made me interested to keep watching. However, it became draggy and completely unrealistic and there were barely any romantic scenes between the main leads. I was expecting Kawin and Nabi to develop their relationship but they made Nabi too stubborn and seemingly not interested to engage in any romantic relationship with Kawin, which was confusing as it is clear she loves him. Overall writing was okay, but not that great.
Cast
The casting was a very good choice to me. Aunt wee’s actress was the best. The main leads (Joss and Fah) were good, however certain scenes they did were hard to watch because their acting was a bit shaky
Music
Music was okay, but became annoying sometimes.
Rewatch value
Unlike other dramas, such as Kleun cheewit, this drama is not rewatchable in my opinion. It was just so disappointing as there were high expectations on how it would turn out.
Overall, it was an okay drama and would recommend.
