Well I've seen the 2008 version with Pong and Peung, and surprisingly I enjoyed it so I was excited to see this remake because I adore Sean so much. And I like his portrayal as Monthai so far. I love the bonding and chemistry he's having with the child actress of Bpee which was something I didn't connect with in the 2008 version. I don't know if it's weird that I see chemistry between a child and a grown man but the way he cherishes her and looks at her is very endearing. Not in a sexual way, but in a loving way. I don't even know if I'm making sense lol.
As much as I like Esther, I sort of wish someone else could have play Bee though. Or I wish Esther's voice could've been like the child actress. I love the child actress tone of voice. This mono-tone, soft spoken tone in her voice similar to Peung in the 2008 version. It makes her seems gentle and innocent. Esther's voice is on a higher pitch which is why she plays character(s) that are feisty so well lol. I know people voice change when they hit puberty but I wish Bee's voice wouldn't changed but it did in this version at least lol.
But overall the drama is pretty good. Visually it's beautifully filmed. I'm not sure how I feel about the actress playing Viyada though. I'm not sure if she can be as evil as the previous one lol.
