I can't believe I was missing out on this lakorn when it was airing. A couple of friends recommended this to me so of course I was intrigued and finished it within 4 days lol. It's been so long since any lakorn has held my interest until the end, especially one from Ch7.
Kudos to Tie for doing a wonderful job of producing this because it really was well executed. The storyline was intense, the script was well written, all the character were equally charming, memorable and well developed. It has all the key elements to a good masterpiece. Cinematography, editing, music, just a lot of it was beautifully done minus the choreography (which is given because we all know Thais can't really do action).
Mik was so swoon worthy with his portrayal of Daniel. Is it just me but he's like a Mario 2.0 who is taller and more farang looking? lol. He's quite a charmer, reminds me a bit of Willy during his prime time. None of Ch 7's actors have appealed to me until this boy came along and so I hope he maintains his good qualities and continously improves himself. Pim was adorable as Fahsai, maybe sometimes a bit too cutesy but she has this sweet quality to her that makes her likeable. She hasn't changed all that much since her younger days. I will always remember her as Khun Neung's sister in Neung Nai Suang, Ken and Janie's version. Both of them together make such a sweet pairing. There's just something so endearing about seeing a tall, broody and protective praek with his much smaller and petitie nang aek. Mek and Namwan were suprisingly cute as well. At first I was like, wth Tie stop casting Namwan with younger praeks just because she's your good friend hahah but in the end, their pairing worked out.
In regards to Talay Fai, I think if you're a fan of Mik then it's something worth checking out just for the sake of seeing his versatility. Techin wasn't all that likeable as a character but Mik was hot as an aggressive praek. It was good up until around ep 8 where the storyline just went in circles with the whole killing spree. If you're not into nam nao lakorns then maybe avoid it but for me, the fact that he had good chemistry and physically looked so gorgeous as a duo with Steph made up for the lack of a storyline.
Honestly, there's no need to compare the two actresses or the two lakorns na. Pim started off as a child actress so she has plenty of experience that contribute towards her acting abiltiies today. Steph came into the entertainment through competing for Miss Teen Thailand so their backgrounds are completely different. Everyone has their own ideas and definitions of good acting, beauty etc. so we can all agree to disagree
