Now I know why I was very lukewarm with the teasers, Mai sucks lol She's not really convincing as the evil MIL. I just see Mai trying to act but really just overracting from her body language to her voice... it doesn't come off natural at all. In comparison to Sud Kaen Saan Ruk, khun Rudklao, she was E Yam, she brought that character to life and her portrayl was really enjoyable despite being just a nasty character. But I've read some Thai feedback and people say that Mai is actually portraying the character exactly like the novel so there's that lol But Mai irritated me the whole time I just felt like she was at 100 while everyone was around 10 hahahaa. JJ's acting is really off in here too he didn't really have chemistry with the family members and the first scene of him with bella and mai... he was just an extra, his timing and Mai's timing was so off in that scene it didn't really make for a good run in with these characters, but Bella made this scene at the end of it while she was walking away. I didn't like how Act Art started off the first episode. It was very rushed and really simple how they laid the plot but it still wasn't that sufficient with character background and when they choose to reveal it. I felt really lost for a long time and I hate how they edit here. They do too many close ups of Mai screaming it doesn't even feel like she's interacting with anyone. If I were to sell this lakorn, I would say to probably anticipate the interaction between Bella and Pear. I thought Mai would be a scene stealer but she's not... and her and Bella aren't that good I just feel like Bella is acting her ass off and Mai is just there but not really adding much to the scenes. Bella's better with Fresh than Mai. Pear looks like she's about to steal some scenes her character is just as raeng as Bella's probably. I would credit Act Art for elevating the acting of the newbies. Phet usually sucks for me too but he's nailing the role and Champ is much better than he was since Ra Rerng Fai. Yiiwha and Champ have some chemistry too but she get's with JJ later lol Too bad no Pie and August yet. I'm pretty underwhelmed lol I thought Act Art would execute this better than Makers did because they're just a better production overall but it's not as intense as Sud Kaen that could be a good thing lol

They don't waste time at all, the lakorn starts of with Reynu coming home to be the daughter in law.
I don't like Bella voice tone in here. Usually she changed her tone but in here she uses her real life everyday tone.
Phet and Bella look good together but I can't help my Jiranee feel when Ah Sa (James Ji) smiles to Reynu.
Out of all the sons, I feel bad for the second son the most. I think he is the most pitiful in here.

Bella name is credited first in the opening. I thought it would be Mai name to appear first because she's the big name out of the casts. Rarely in lakorns, they put the actresses names first in the opening credit. I think it's honor for Bella.

If you are not a fan of the casts or the family lakorns, this lakorn is not for you. There's nothing much beside the mother keeps insulting the daughter in law. And I think it will be like that for the whole lakorn.
For now I will keep watching for the casts. So far everyone did a good job.

Yep lol. People are creative.

Reynu/Chai's relationship is cute. Wish we could see more of them as a couple. The book didn't come off as cutesy but I liked it anyway. But they cut out a lot of the moments at the brothel with Reynu/Chai. Not sure if they'll add it in flashbacks or if its just cut.

I agree that the cast doesn't quite gel together just yet. Hoping that this was the first scenes they filmed and it'll get better as they go along. There's really not much plot at all so the lakorn pretty much live and die by the cast interactions. I want to see more of Fresh and the prostitute gang too. Fresh's character, Jae Tim, was a real scene stealer in the book.

If Reynu and Yoi character were miscast, the whole drama will die with it. Lucky Act Art got Mai and Bella.

I like Reynu interaction with that biggest gossip roadstall auntie. The first episode she is just shameless. Most people in Chum Saeng don’t know what to make of her...LOL.
