Hot Chemistry on a Not so Hot of a Mess

Love at first night is the first Thai Lakorn that I watched while it was still airing. My reason for watching is because I like Mark and Yaya in Waves of Life. The toxic fighting of their characters Jee and Sathit made me fall in love with their chemistry.

Love at First Night is subpar drama compared to Waves of Life. It lacks the storyline that would engage watchers. They also have some unnecessary wacky scenes which can be too much. The concept is Romcom but in most parts of the series, it leaned towards the comedy part. The fake love triangle (Dad-Apo-Mueang) also made some watchers raise eyebrows on this one. But, despite this, Mark and Yayas's acting were on a different level. They give a very fresh take on Apo and Mueang. Their chemistry still delivers from the screen on to the viewers hearts.

The show started to grow on me on Episode 7. The family problems and dynamics are very shallow and just became annoying at times. But, once Apo and Mueang started to get closer again, I started to feel invested on this show. I realized I just need to just watch it and enjoy the lakorn as it is and to not to overthink too much. I think their love story is the boy fell, girl fell harder-type. On Episode 13, this wacky show just became a ball of fluffy romance. And, it works, Why? Because of the CHEMISTRY. A simple scene eating lovingly together made my heart explode.

In the end, this may be underwhelming after the success of Waves of Life. If only this show immediately followed the heavy drama, many people may have appreciated a light drama like this. However, 7 years of waiting for this? I understand why people can be disappointed. I still recommend people to watch this series just to watch the romance scenes. Mark and Yaya really delivers every time. ;)
