Nothing is resolved

This story starts with a challenge, to make a believable love line between a man (Nai) and his younger sister-in-law (Pa) after the suspicious death of the wife (Da). And this lakorn chose to meet that challenge by... not really addressing it? We saw all kinds of strange and what seemed like uncharacteristic behavior from Da in the flashbacks to the day she died and we really got no explanation for any of it. [Why was she considering adding something to Lita's drink? What caused her to faint in the pantry? Did she really push Lita and cause Lita's injury?] All of that just got buried amid the one-upping between Pa and Nai's mother, and even there, there were hardly any truly satisfying moments where you felt Pa had gotten some revenge.

Then while more and more people began to see what Nai's mother was willing to do to 'protect' her kids, Pa somehow became more and more sympathetic? The idea that all of these people would put their differences aside after what happened is too hard to swallow, especially with such little repentance on the mother's end.

Thom and Lita were fine as a side couple, but I never really felt anything about Nade and Trai together.

All in all, not worth the time.
