Without the top tier actors, this series would have flopped.
It always warms my heart when I can see Ja and First on screen. The juvenile, imbecilic role given to Ja is a testament of his professionalism. He played being servile very well — the rounded shoulders and ducked head were so unlike any of his other characters that I have seen. Also, I’ve never seen First in a role that’s so serious and reserved. Like the true professional, experienced actor he is, he seemed to work around the poor direction whenever he could.The story idea was a good one, but the director’s execution not so much. Such a waste of top tier actors’ talent. I enjoyed following the secondary story of Muang and Ning. The supporting actors did a fantastic job of it. The bickering agency managers became annoying very quickly. I watched all the episodes, but I won’t re-watch it.

Phenomenal, but confusing until I “got it”
Starting from episode 1 and beyond, the series kept me intrigued. Later on, the storyline became confusing until I figured out what was going on.… Then my intrigue became sadness, but brightened by the end. Here’s my formula: fantasy, reality, fantasy, reality. Hope it helps.The acting was phenomenal! I loved Great and Tyme as a couple. The actors’ chemistry was off the charts. Shout out to Jes Jespipat Tilapornputt (as Dr. Tyme). I had never seen his work before; he was top tier in this series. In fact, all the actors were fantastic. Their acting kept me immersed in the show and coming back for more.
The sex scenes are definitely NSFW, but I didn’t feel like they were just thrown in there for ratings. Depending on how they had sex and under what circumstances, I felt these scenes established the emotional and mental state of each of the characters. For example, “Do me raw” indicated (to me) the character’s feelings of worthlessness and guilt with their need to be punished for their “crimes.”
I found the camera angles really interesting. Also, the use of colour throughout was excellent and well thought out. I liked that the support roles had substance and weren’t mere shadows.
I look forward to rewatching this series with an even greater understanding next time. I appreciated the time and effort by the cast & crew that was put into the making of this show. I imagine it was exhausting, but I think it was well worth it!

Wonderful! This series had everything I wanted and more.
The MLs were fantastic! I was sold on everything they did. The supporting roles were fully fleshed out. I liked the added features to what could have been a repetitive storyline. It made it interesting and fresh. The camera work and directing were superb. Even the picture stills for end credits were excellent. The spicy scenes were definitely sexy. Overall, an amazing drama.Thank you to the cast & crew for all of your hard work. You made this series a success!
