There's still a space for improvement in the screenwriting but otherwise the cast was really good. LingOrm's chemistry fascinated me and it'll be great if they get a new series and become as famous as FreenBecky so they can get higher quality series.

About the story... the ending actually disappointed me. Not LadaEarn! There were amazing and their wedding was really beautiful but the mother. It's actually strange that she'd seen Lada in her worst, she saw how hurt she was and how she was overdrinking herself constantly while Thaen had to take care of her as she was unable to take care of herself but she didn't feel bad at all and even manipulated Lada into thinking that Earn started dating a guy and seemed to be in love with him. Then at the end she suddenly started feeling bad after waking up from her coma. It's just... the hatred was stuck in her for so many years despite seeing her daughter in so much pain, unhappy so why did she start caring if Lada was happy or not? I can never understand this nor forgive her because the pain both girls had to go through was extreme and it's terrible that other woman was the reason of it.

Then there was Wisanu who actually shocked me when he wanted to marry Lada despite knowing that she loved Earn and could never look at him in a different way. She was giving him hints when she wanted to make Earn jealous but then she made it very clear and he still pursued her. Then he got drunk and wanted to feel loved out of sudden, started dating Thaen to whom he felt sexually attracted to but otherwise didn't show much interest in him. He confused me too much at the end but at least left our girls alone.

I also didn't like Lada's father. Despite supporting her relationship and not minding at all that she was a lesbian, he still let his wife to do all of the horrible things to his daughter. He was the one Lada would trust but he never told her the truth and let her deal with her pain on her own. Just trying to speak up to his homophobic wife was seriously not enough when he let her do what she wanted.

I understand the toxicity in the series was needed to make the series exciting but Lada forgiving everyone after going through so much, even willing to live without Earn just so her mother wouldn't die of heart attack was so sad to see when she has never done anything wrong, just fell in love with a woman. Her mother just apologized and that was all, she deserved to suffer and yearn for Lada. Realizing that she can lose her daughter forever and it is too late to apologize after years of constant pain and manipulation she caused her. Making her ill so she'd be pitied and forgiven was simply lazy but I get it, it's the last ep. They turn out like this in thai industry.

Also my intention is not to offend the lovers of this series. I really enjoyed it and LingOrm made me want to watch more GL series which I didn't do before so it's still one of the best thai gl series I've seen and I hope to see the actresses again! ❤️❤️
