It has been so long since I posted last. I got a new job and haven’t watch anything since. However, right before I took a leave for a couple of days, I found this series on youtube. Anyway, as you may know by now, I adore fake relationship trope so much that I am always on a hunt to find the best one. So far, though, I haven't found one that temps me enough to click the play button or I’m just fricking lazy. I was kinda worried before watching the series since I always find that lakorn guys are almost always violent. I just don't like violent people, they turn me off. However, when I was doing 'research' on this lakorn, I read a review from somewhere saying that the male character in this lakorn is quite different than your usual lakorn guy. Intriguing!

Storyline

Let me give you my two cents. You must be wondering why I gave such low ratings. The storyline and the timeline were kinda confusing at first. The first scene of this series was the meeting of our two main characters (Palai dan Siwa). However, in the scene where they met for the second time, they somehow have forgotten about each other and reintroduced themselves to each other. It doesn't make sense, but ok. Enough complaining and I didn’t really expect much from soap opera, they have their quirks of course.

The story is about this woman, Palai, who just lost both of her parents in a car crash. Not long after, Palai's evil step-aunt and cousin stole all of her inheritance. With the help of good people around her, she's trying to get all of her stolen inheritance back from her aunt and cousin. Meanwhile, Palai's boyfriend, a lawyer called Thana, is in the middle of a conflict. His Dad is missing and presumed dead. The only thing that connects these two conflicts (stolen inheritance and kidnapped dad) is Siwa.

Siwa is the son of an evil doctor. He’s the one who took Thana's father and presumably killed him too. Siwa is also the boyfriend of Palai's evil cousin, Jangjen. So, in order to get her inheritance back and get justice for her boyfriend’s father, Palai decided to blackmail Siwa by threatening to put Siwa's evil dad in jail unless Siwa agrees to marry her. I know, I know, it's a very strange blackmail case but she had her reasons. When I watch this, I feel so bad for Thana because he's actually a good guy that only wants justice for his dad.

So yeah in conclusion, Siwa marries Palai in secret to keep his evil father safe. Siwa and Palai will eventually fall in love while Thana knows nothing about everything. I told this story to my best friend and he said Palai is quite evil herself LOL. Also, #JusticeForThana for sure.

Characters

I like Palai, no matter how evil her plans could be, i like her because she wins. She's smart and kind to people who matter. She loves her parents so much, so I can resonate with her pain after losing both of her parents. I actually never dislike her, she punishes people who should be punished and for me that's fair since the evil people around her are pure evil. For me she's just a baby evil hahaha.

Siwa, oh Siwa. I want to say that he's dumb but he's not. He's actually quite smart but he's just oblivious. He's blinded by his loyalty and love for his dad. I don't blame him, it's hard to see bad things when you love someone unconditionally and hero worship them since you're a child (I'm not like him tho, when it's wrong then it's wrong lol #nomercy).

Thana, oh my dear poor baby boy. He's just one clueless human being. Accidentally betrayed by his girlfriend. He’s just lovely and funny and I don’t think he deserves all these headache. Also, I have a bone to pick with his mom, like dang ma’am, your husband is missing and you didn’t show any worry one bit and you asked your son to stop investigating this? If I were your son, I’d report you to the police LOL.

Rasika and Janjeng, Palai’s evil aunt and cousin, respectively. I pity Rasika but she deserves every failure that’s coming to her. Good riddance Rasika and boyfriend. I said I pity Rasika, but I pity Janjeng so much more than I pity everybody else. She was actually pretty nice and friends with Palai, but her evil mom controls her every move. Poor baby girl. She deserves better and knowing Palai still loves her despite all of her shortcomings was wholesome.

If I have to choose my favourite character in this lakorn, I’d choose Khun Wut. Lol I like him, he gets things done and his brother-sister relationship with Palai was really wholesome.
