"LOVELY"....Would you prefer Herbal or Western medication ??

Exhausted of watching typically high rated k-dramas and c-dramas, and after suffering those unnecessary tortures of unjustified highly rated dramas,...unknowingly and unconsciously landed into Thai dramaland.

First and foremost, I'm selective with dramas ( viz: K-drama & C-drama)... and this being my first Thai Lakorn experience, went through some hardship (few days) searching for dramas of genre of my taste. Picked this one amongst other selected lakorns , as it has sweet candy-looking casts and most importantly a lovely heart warming storyline. This Lakorn really surpassed my expectations. With mixed reviews and delivered synopsis of this drama, I was only half- motivated to watch this and also as I've to sacrifice my busy time schedule. But... totally worth my time spent on it (no regrets). Completed it in two days. Hopefully waiting for it's second season. You'll learn how precious is being alive and to be in the midst of our love ones.

[ Western and modern medicines are not more or less than ancient herbal medicines. They rely on each other ]

You've heard the saying: " Laughter is the best medicine".
Well, this drama will make you laugh : ) Yes, you'll encounter laughter as well as medical healing - Great!!
The presence of romance in this focussed-herbal medicinal drama turned out rather sweet than it being irritating. In this, love journeys through comedy and devastating pandemic.

All casts were new to me but all did great in their given roles. Especially the main leads, Thong Ek - Chaba's chemistry was really really sweet. Their chemistry was real and adorable. Hope to see them working together in future. Their character differences adds to the beauty of the drama - calm and sassy, rich and poor, etc. Other support actors are not less too in beautifying the show. It was a light, sweet and beautiful Thai drama. Felt myself lucky choosing the right drama.

NOTE: This is a Thai drama not Korean. Don't compare and expect like k-drama's scripts, visuals,performances etc. as this is made on much smaller scale. Expect lesser and experience better. Quite an underatted drama.... ratings should've been higher.
