I think this might be the one lakorn where I actually like Ploy. Karat is still in her area of expertise; bitchy. However she's a likable even when she's a biatch. Even when Karat is all aeb baew with Pisut, Ploy pulls it off well.
I never watched the old version so I had no idea what path this lakorn would go. I quite enjoyed it, this lakorn seemed to have great potential to stress someone out with the catfights, yelling and misunderstanding but somehow they pulled it off. The p'ek was never stupid, just too nice. He knows everything that is going on but the dude has a heart of a saint and will walk into traps continuously. Plus a n'ek who gets fired up too easily and believes Peung's BS, we have a big web of drama. In other lakorns not only the p'ek is too nice, he'll believe anything and give the n'rai the wrong message. I like Pisut because he tells Peung straight up that he doesn't want her. You can't blame him for too much since Peung is a psyco who can't take no for an answer. Everyone played their role great. I thought Jui couldn't pull it off but she proved that she's extremely versatile. My grandma got up and swore at the tv numerous times she got so angry. Of course there is no doubt Pope can't pull of Mr. Gentleman roles, I just loved him here. Top is super attractive here, I can't get mad at his character. If I were Koi I would have jumped him at the airport, but then again he kinda deserved the cold shoulder, still.....
Anne knows what's she's doing, I have full faith in her as a producer now. This lakorn was perfection. It's rare to have a last episode dedicated to the pra'nang. Ploy and Pope had chemistry, the cast was spot on and best of all no ridiculous dragging. Loved, loved, loved this.
