I always go into TV Scene lakorns hopeful, thinking maybe THIS is the day they make something brilliant and then by the end of the lakorn I hate myself because it is stupid to be hopeful with this production.
The plot was fine but it was just soooo slow. Each episode barely progressed anything. James and Diana have a lot of chemistry and they were actually cute together but there just wasn't enough going on for them. The plot had the basics for a good love story but with TV Scene, the leads' love always takes a back seat and there has to be a lot of room for lessons on human nature and morality. They had good tension in the beginning with the him pushing her away and her being hopelessly in love with him and its not everyday where the p'ek adopts the n'ek but noooo the writers and the director couldn't possibly put some focus on that. Then bam they confess they like each other half way through the lakorn and they spend the rest of the time not doing anything about their relationship. I enjoyed the mafia storyline though, I thought it was well done with the stuff between First and Tah's characters. I was rooting for P'Ai and I wanted him to be good so bad but sadly things didn't go so well with him. A lot of people didn't have to die in this lakorn, it made it super depressing. Unless this is Hong Neur Mungkorn, let's not have a killing spree.
Yoghurt is good at playing such an annoying character, sucks that nothing came out of her crush on Ball's character, I thought they were cute. I've noticed with TV Scene lakorns when there is a secondary character with a one-sided love for another, nothing comes out of it. Happened in Por Yoong Loong Mai Wang with Nong and Bua's character, Neung Dao Fah Diew with Mona and Phet, etc. If there is a good thing between the second leads, I would like to see it work out, lakorns are a fantasy world where yes you can get two people to fall in love even though at first one of them didn't feel it at first.
Plot was good, progression was bad. And that ending yeesh, even until the very end the leads are second focus. I feel like TV Scene's problem is Noom Attaporn. His lakorns put me to sleep but Neung Dao Fah Diew which was directed by another person had me paying attention a whole lot more.
