Even better on second watch. Excellent writing of characters.

This is honestly one of those reviews that I just had to write after rewatching this again today. This was one of those situations where I forgot that I saw this Lakorn already. I was still pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching it the second time around. I think this might have been the first introduction to the leads back when I first watched this and I have since seen some of their other works. They are outstanding actors and I wouldn't mind watching more from them in the future. The presence of these actors on screen is wonderful with little effort needed to create a tense atmosphere. I found these two characters so enduring with so much chemistry.

There is a lot to say about typical male leads found in Lakorn drama land. They are often self-centered and difficult to watch. I think most of you that are reading this and who have seen a few Lakorns know what I'm referring to. That is why I was pleasantly surprised by the sincerity and presence of the ML for this Lakorn. The ML is one of the most well written and unproblematic characters that I have seen without being bland. Don't get me wrong, there are certain Lakorns where bad male behavior is important to the plot of the story. Although there is a place for these kinds of male characters in Lakorns, without degrading the worth of women. The ML for this drama had none of these traits and was generally respectful. For the most part, the ML was more mature than the FL. I feel that even the aggression that came from her was important for the plot and character development. And her actions came mostly from mistrust of people and not a bad personality.

The plot for this story is nothing groundbreaking, but there were a few shocking plot points that made the story unique in its own way. One of the major plot points that are not a spoiler since it is in the summary on MDL is the fact that the FL's uncle declares his love for her. This obviously is a very weird plot device to have in the story, but it honestly made for a weird and interesting story. Generally, the motivations and actions of the characters were quite clear throughout and I understood the reason for the decisions that were made. This is one of the reasons why I was able to finish this story quite quickly on both watches of the show.

I would definitely recommend this Lakorn to anyone wanting to see a beautiful story, well-rounded characters, and beautiful Thai settings. There are a few scenes on a Thai island and it took me back to a holiday I took there 5 years ago. There is really nothing that I can complain about and I enjoyed this series even more on the second watch. This definitely is one of those special Lakorns that you don't get often enough. The ML for this is definitely in my top 5 ML in Lakorns!
