TL;DR - A predictable but cute story about a makeshift family and how you should take responsibility for your mistakes. If you like drama and chaos, this is not for you. But if you like minimal drama and maximum cuteness, this is a good one for that. Personally, I didn't enjoy watching this. Beware of clingy 2nd leads.

I came into this lakorn after coming off a particularly intense slap/kiss and wanted to watch something fun and easy. This lakorn had been on my radar for awhile and I've always wanted to watch something with Baifern in it, so I decided to give this a go. Needless to say, I got what I asked for although it was unfortunately to a fault and I will explain why below.

One of my biggest pet peeves are 2nd leads that are clingy/don't know when to quit. This was very pronounced in Ji and Aff; two crappy people who both didn't know how good they had it until they lost it. Both were fooling themselves into thinking that the main leads still had a thing for them and relentlessly tried going after them, even when the leads themselves told them to back off and that they didn't see them that way. I could feel more sympathy for Ji (although not very much) since he did do a lot to help Kot, but overall he was immature and I didn't see the point of him going after Kot when the end game was Kot and Kit. He could see that Kot was falling for Kit, and him to her, but still tried to butt in. I just feel in these situations, for their own dignity, that characters should just accept what they've lost and move on. Yeah that might make things less dramatic but I would admire the character more and instead of him being this player, I wish they focused on him being a better person and dad.

The romance of the main leads hit off with a bang and initially I was very invested. It was obvious that they were both very into eo even before they got married, and both have good chemistry with each other. But here's where things went wrong with me; I could see it. About halfway through the series, I could see that Kot and Kit would go through whatever trials and in the end be together no matter what. You could argue that all dramas are like this and I completely agree, but what makes it fun and engaging is the way that we get there. Their relationship got really predictable and unfortunately I wasn't very invested in their romance. When I realized this, I lost interest and just kept watching to see how it ended.

I also wanted to add that there was too much repetitiveness with the 2nd leads constantly interfering with the main leads. It took up way too much time and I felt it should've been for developing the relationship between our two leads.

I liked our leads and I liked them together. They were both honest and loyal with each other. However I didn't like how Kit would wait for Kot to make the first move after an argument, and how he kissed her when she was asleep. This was balanced by how Kit made the effort to make Moji closer to him, and how he made the effort to be a happy family. I also loved the conversation about how Kot felt she was useless like sand, but Kit would disagree and say how sand is really important. They kept each other in mind and I thought it was well done.

I also liked the 2ndary cast, and how each lead (Kit, Kot and Ji) had their own adviser in the form of secretary and friends. I liked how each gave good advice and came to help our leads when things went wrong. My favorite from the 2ndary cast was the kid character; I really liked how they didn't make her talk at all and let her do her own thing. I usually don't like kid characters and was preparing myself for this one, but they let her be and had the actors act around her.

As a side note, I really enjoyed Baifern's acting here. I've heard she's a good actress, and I'm glad I wasn't proven wrong. She's able to make you feel what she feels and can emote very well. Her expressions of sadness, devastation, happiness, being in love and many more are nuanced and not over the top. I especially loved her scenes when she met her real mom and her reaction felt very realistic and relatable to me. That's why when compared to Dan's acting, Dan did not deliver as much as she did. There were times where Dan had the gravitas of a ML, but others where he didn't. At best it was passable. I wished they'd casted an actor on a similar level as Baifern although I'm not sure if GMM could've casted anyone any better.

The music was okay here and played appropriately. I did feel weird that the main theme song wasn't played during the series, just only background music (which makes an already average lakorn not memorable). I wouldn't re-watch. If you like easy breezy, feel-good rom-coms with minimal drama and cute leads, I'd say give it a watch. If you like something more dramatic or are looking for something unique, then I don't recommend it.
