I briefly checked this lakorn out a few years ago when I was procrastinating doing school work. Years later, still procrastinating, I decided to watch this lakorn not expecting much, and hoping at least for a satisfactory love line. And wow did I not only get a satisfactory romance, but I was also amazed by our other main leads, 2ndary cast of characters and overall how this lakorn was able to keep me invested till the end.

I'll be giving a review on our 6 main leads, followed by shoutouts to some of the supporting characters:
Chat: A very unique ML. At times, I thought of him as rapper Chat with how fast he would talk and have strange hand gestures to go with it. He does the whole "angry at my father for abandoning mom and I" very well by not humiliating his father, not being vicious to his step-mom and importantly does not use the FL as a punching bag for his anger (for once). I actually felt sad over his anguish and guilt over his mom's death, and we see how heavily it affects him throughout the series. All of his anger is rightfully directed at his father. I also really like that he's not stupid and pretty much disregards his grandma + aunt when they're exposed as instigators. What I adored about him the most tho, was his devotion and desire to be with Yo, even if it meant that their love would hurt others. I was firstly impressed with how easily he accepted her and quickly grew to love her, and was tastefully possessive (weird to say but really, I never felt grossed out/cringe when he was being possessive). He fought hard to be with her in the end and never gave up on their love even when she gave up. The only thing that bothered me was how crappily he treated King, which she didn't deserve.

Yo: A refreshing FL. Speaks her mind, has an actual backbone and does what's right even if it sacrifices her happiness. What first surprised me about her was how she went after Chat with no hesitation. She pretty much pestered him until he opened to her and he had no chance with how cute she was being. But her infatuation didn't mean that he could treat her anyway he wanted; there's a point in the lakorn where he lashes out at her and then tries to brush it under the rug. But she doesn't let him get away with it at all, and even says along the lines of "When you're angry you expect me to take it, but when you feel better you want me to suddenly forgive you? Don't expect me to go along with your mood" like woooooow I was so impressed when she said this (all FL need to take notes lol). She doesn't allow the ML to boss her around and sets boundaries she expects him to follow. I was overall very impressed with her character.

King: Best 2nd FL here. Not a bitch, not vengeful and is an exceptionally beautiful soul. She's very kind, but not dumb. She loved Chat and actively tried to get to know him, and I felt so bad every time he blew her off. Even when Yo turned out to be the one he loved, King didn't hate her and wished happiness for both of them. Even when her mom forced her and Chat to marry, she knew that he didn't love her, so they wouldn't have a good marriage, and she loved herself enough to not want that. Like for real, she is an angel and I was rooting for a happy ending for her.

Puchong: Best 2nd ML lol. Actively pursued Yo but never crossed boundaries and respected her space. Very sensible and a total gentleman, but never a doormat. He was more than a tool to ignite Chat's jealousy and I was rooting for him to get his happy ending with someone who loved him.

Pom/Kusuma: Wow she was great; she came later in the lakorn and I was worried if she would even make an impact when everything else was established, but oh boy was I wrong. She's a communication expert that's actually a communication expert. She pretty much saw the relationship between Yo and Chai right away, picked up on Krit's love for King. and gave actual helpful advice when our leads were having issues. I loved her budding friendship with Puchong and was pretty much supporting her and Puchong getting together.

Krit: Unfortunately a forgettable lead for me, although I still liked him a lot. He was very kind to Yo, sweet to King, and was overall a good person. I really liked his voice lol. But his presence got reduced near the end of the lakorn and compared to the other amazing leads, he didn't stick out much.

I was surprised at how much I liked all our main leads and appreciated how they were portrayed as real, 3D people and not just tools for plot. What made this lakorn even better was some of the secondary cast: Same and Jane, the two best friends anyone could ever want. The head servant at Chat's house, who would call out the grandma and care for Chat as her own son. The best ofc was Grandma Lamoot; just straight savage and a hoot to watch. Yo pretty much got her back bone from her. I was pretty sad that she died, although the way she died was kinda sus.

I felt like almost every mother figure in this drama was terrible on varying spectrums, although the last one I'll mention was a very good villain. To start, Puchong's mom straight up is not a real person; the way she hated her son was borderline comical. Chat's grandma was selfish and very emotionally manipulative, although she does somewhat redeem herself in the end. But def the biggest villain was King and Krit's mom (King and Krit are not related btw and were adopted by this woman). She was the master puppeteer in manipulating not only Krit and King to do her bidding, but also the Grandma, Chat and Yo. She's quite cold and calculative and is not above using threats to get what she wants. Although she was terrible, I actually found her to be admirable because the way she carried out her plan was almost full-proof, and although I didn't agree with how she using everyone as a pawn, I could respect why she did so.

Now one to some points on why I didn't rate this higher: 
-The romance. You might be surprised I'm saying this, but hear me out. I really liked their relationship; it was mature and respectful. But there were a lot of times that I felt there could be more feeling/passion. I often felt they were held back in expressing their feelings (whether it's the fault of the network or actors, idk), and although I did believe in their love, there was a lot of potential for me to be even more invested that was just wasted. 
-Acting: sometimes the acting of our leads would throw me off, especially Andrew's. While he did deliver in the emotional scenes, it's the smaller scenes where he doesn't emote well. There were times when I would expect him to show some sort of emotion or react to a shocking event (not that I want it to be over the top, but subtle changes in expressions, or change in vibe) but he would have this blank face. I wasn't sure if it's bc it's his character or him, tho I still liked his character.
-Aunt See: A pretty pathetic villain and stuck around for too long. Although I really liked how our leads and Yo's mom would beat her down time and time again, it got pretty repetitive after a while and not much was done to her until the last 2 episodes. Even then her ending was pathetic and didn't make sense.

Overall I still really liked his lakorn a lot. Having the ML, FL, 2nd FL and 2nd ML be sensible and very likeable people is quite rare. Although this doesn't have much of a story, the cast of characters make up for it by tenfold. Music was good and I really liked one of the songs. I would totally recommend you watch if you have the time and I will certainly re-watch this on my own time.
