Fourth of the series, first place in my heart

This follows the eldest Juthathep cousin and the next Dhevaprom of the series, Petch and Fah. This is perhaps the most intense love story so far out of the series as far as the romance and the angst. It is a parallel to Chai Yai and Maprang's love story and what happened to Rampha after Khun Chai Ronaphee. Fah is essentially forced by her mother to take revenge on the Juthathep family, but that backfires as Fah and Petch fall for each other very hard and fast.

First off, Petch and Fah - chemistry. Whether it be giving glances at each other, comforting each other, having arguments, the slight touches, the kisses...these two don't miss a mark! They really are the main reason I was impatient to watch the next episode. Peak and Mint just click both on and off-screen and would love to see them in another project. Until then, I will be rewatching all their scenes, lol.

This is so far my favorite secondary cast/ characters - the office staff, Fah's aunt and friend, the palace staff, etc. And even the villains, I liked to hate them and was actually interested in seeing their downfall.

I loved how involved the parents were in this one compared to the others. Chai Yai and Maprang were really a part of their kids' lives and being nosey like many parents are, lol.

The directing and cinematography were so beautifully done. You can tell from the first episode that this will be a treat when it comes to the visuals of the show and there really were many breathtaking shots. I also very much appreciated the aesthetics in this because it felt most like the 90s out of the series. The clothes, the references, etc.

The story is good, but perhaps the most tiring part is Rampha. I knew going into this that it would probably be more angsty than Kwanruetai when comparing the sisters (Marathee and Rampha), but experiencing it...well, they really did not slow down on her obsession with revenge. It was just a lot. But it made sense with how it ended for her in the original series.

But all the other stories were great and tied well with each other including the office drama, the romance between Petch and Fah, the secondary love stories, etc. Fah's POV especially was something I can relate to as I have had moments in my life that weren't great and I have also used forms of escapism to feel better.

I would say the weakest of this part for me was the last episode and that ties back to Rampha. The focus was so much on her and it felt like they really just braked on Petch and Fah. Of course Rampha's story is important as it's the driving factor of the show as a whole, but I wish perhaps they wrapped up her stuff either earlier in the last episode or even made it the second to last episode. I am glad though that they kept her ending realistic and realized she is not fully healed as she tried to lead others to believe.

And now my ramble has come to an end and I will just say...this was such a great watch. Was it perfect? No, but personally even shows I really like or love are never 100% perfect in my eyes. It is so far my favorite of the series followed by Kwanruetai.
