Really enjoyed watching !!!
This tv show is your typical enemies to lovers trope, sometimes it gets a bit annoying the back & fort bickering but it’s all for character development so I don’t mind.I usually stay away from enemies to lovers type of dramas but because it had the element of a contract relationship I watched it and it was pretty good.
The grandma really annoyed me though, the male lead goes through a lot so be prepared to be annoyed & upset. You’ll need a lot of patience.
There’s a lot of surprises along the way that will keep you wanting to continue watching so you won’t get bored.
The ML and the FL look really good together, and their chemistry is amazing. When they finally start to fall in love with one another it is really beautiful. The ending was also good, I recommend.

I neither believed nor wished the main pairing
This drama is full of people trying to get into high class. Funny how high class & low class still exist in Thailand, nevertheless even more funny are the ways the low class people try to get into high class using the internet. Like, the rich house has a maid who has a daughter. Now, the maid's daughter has a smartphone connected to social media, with which she if able to film videos and post them online, mostly hanging around in rich house and other luxurious settings. Soon she self-calls herself a celebrity and pretends to be the rich house's owner's niece at parties. The family, instead of simply firing the maid - by which even her daughter would lose ANY connection to the rich house - keeps her on, because after all we need to fill 14 movie-length episodes with a "drama". Even James Jirayu portrays a person the rich family somehow adopted and let him work in the family's company, which results in him being now interested in the rich family's daughter, who regrettably did not learn to be as good at work as him, so they need him. And who, despite having a perfect learning example in her own dad, who recently divorced her mother for a younger model (another aspiring low class aiming to become high class) gives him too much attention. She decides to play him (hence the lakorn name) and win over him while he does know and accept this, because even if she intends to play him only, it still means she showers him with attention and so he doesn't mind it, as long as he has her attention (and he's right, as she'd probably win had she just not cared). This way, they are to cross their swords in a game where she tries to win over him while he tries to win her over. In case you're anxious how this will turn out, the lakorn opens with her giving birth to his baby, so there's really no suspense about whether he wins her over, LOL. Despite that, it takes A WHILE to finish the mega-long episodes. So, it's up to you whether you are up for that...As for me, I kept reminding myself it's a ROMANTIC lakorn and Nai & Nok are the endgame nevertheless it was not how it FELT like. I just didn't believe that Lakkhanai would be pining 10 years for the FL who was stupid and there were equally pretty girls all around (for example Pear Pitchapa looks VERY similar to Taew in this drama... that happens when the cast shares the same stylist:) on the other hand, he certainly had more than one reason to get back at her. The whole time, I thought he was just faking. That's how it LOOKED like, given the ML's acting "skills". So I really didn't believe his angelic, forgiving nature when looking at the face of James Jirayu with slimy hair. Who got the idea to pair Jirayu & Taew, I don't know, but I didn't believe the couple even as a fiction. The 1 hr. 50 min. really dragged for me every time, and during the 7th attempt I just gave up.

Great Lakorn Between Spoiled Brat Female Lead and Angel Male Lead
I want to start off this review by saying that this drama was really enjoyable for me and everyone seriously needs a Lucky in their life.NOW ONTO THE REVIEW :)
-The chemistry between the main couple was good and Taew and James really delivered with the acting. I especially loved Taew’s crying scenes because she pulled them off effortlessly. Taew and James really did great jobs playing Nok and Nai and gave the characters justice.
-Nok was a BRAT and Nai was seriously an angel. In the end, they balanced each other out.
-Nok was so frustrating many times, but I sympathized with her. There really are people out there who think and feel the way Nok did in the situations she was placed in which makes her character more human. Doesn’t excuse her behavior at times, but deep down Nok was a good person who just could not healthily cope with the rapid changes that came in her life.
-Nai was just AMAZING and I doubt there is someone who is actually like Nai in real life LOL. Nai never took advantage of Nok and always respected her which is actually pretty rare in many dramas as most of the time the male leads are cavemen who manhandle the female lead the entire series. Also, this man has received the worst insults in the whole entire world, but still continues to be so freaking kind and understanding. Nai’s patience for Nok is seriously astounding. I quickly learned to never doubt Nai and his actions because seriously this man could do no wrong and was always there for EVERYONE. I also especially loved his relationship with Nok’s parents because they genuinely trusted and treated Nai like their son. I am so happy that Nai got the happy ending he deserved because he deserves it ALL.
-I loved how Nok’s parents coparented so healthily. They still had a great friendship and actually gave each other valuable advice in order to find happiness. Their banter was always so funny and endearing. (Side note: I especially loved Nok’s mom and found she was a bit different from most drama mothers. She was genuinely kind, understanding, and didn’t let anyone or anything get to her. She protected those she loved and was just an overall great supporting character in this drama.)
-Nok and her mom may scheme and can be brats at times, but they are actually good people. They scheme only against those who have bad intentions (like Khae and Penny), but are kind and forgiving to those they love like Aunt Phai. Nok’s mom also treats Nai like her real son and even sides with him when she knows that Nok is doing something wrong.
-I loved the comedy that the office workers (Sudjai, Prao, and Jomyuth) brought to this drama. I was always laughing at these three.
-I loved how they brought awareness to recycling efforts and waste and tied it into this drama. I actually learned a bit about recycling while watching, which I didn't really expect hahaha. (Side note: The part when Nai was showing that trash has value and how Nok sees him as trash, but he has value was a great way to tie in the recycling business into their relationship even though I do not at all think that Nai is trash.)
-I love the part where they were in the cat cafe and how Nai was saying the charm of cats were they were hard to please etc. and on the other hand how Nok liked dogs because they are easy to understand and come with their tails wagging. Nai is just like the dog and Nok is just like the cat. That comparison was SOOOO CUTEEEE.
-I love the fact that they humanized the antagonists/villains in the end and settled everything (well except for that sleezy Wutha guy he got what he deserves).
-I seriously hated the part where the grandma praised Wutha for “taking responsibility” and “apologizing” for almost raping her granddaughter, but when Nai pretended it was him to save Nok from marrying Wutha the grandma slapped and beat him. I found that to be so disgusting and hypocritical on the grandma’s part. She would seriously accept someone who is rich doing that to her granddaughter, but if it was Nai she lost it. It was so frustrating, but I’m happy she changed in the end.
-For the kisses: it was so bad I wanna give you a 0 but that's not possible so I give you a 1 LOL. Their first kiss in the first episode and the kiss in the elevator was alright, but the other ones were VERY awkward lol, but I still love them lots! Hahahaha.
-I took off one star because I seriously hated the scenes with Khae, Penny, Wongwet, and Wutha. They were all annoying in my opinion and I just wanted to focus more on the main couple so I ended up skipping most of their scenes which I found to not be all that important anyways.
-Also took off another star because I wasn’t a fan of the age gap romance between her parents and their new significant others. Just not a fan of those types of relationships in a series overall.
-Overall, I really liked this series and I would say for everyone to try it out and give it a chance as it’s a genuinely good lakorn! Will definitely be rewatching my favorite scenes, especially the ones of Nai, Nok, and Non! Such a cute family!

Lovely Family Hate to Love Drama
I loved this & don’t usually post reviews but the mother & father in this drama were so amusing. I’m not usually a fan of side characters & only want to see the protagonists but the FL mother was one of the best characters in a drama I have seen to date, she was so supportive & loving to everyone including her ex!!Immensely enjoyed this drama the leads were stunning & made a beautiful couple! I wish the FL was a bit more open & honest about her feelings, if only to herself, but sometimes it seemed to little to late!! I loved watching this dramas & highly recommend it!

Juefo de amor
Para el que empieza a ver, el primer capitulo, la verdad te parece algo ridiculo que la protagonista (ya una mujer adulta) se ponga tan mal porque los padres se separan. NI que tuviese 5 años. Pasado ese capitulo. La historia se encarrila y casi todos los capitulos (aun siendo cada uno de 1 hora y cuarenta. podria decirse que hay 2 en 1) hay emociones y tensiones. Hay muchas escenas juntos de los protagonistas. Se ve el desarrollo de los personajes. Y creo que se cuenta bien los miedos de cada uno de los personajes y lo que hace que actuel como tal. Me hubiese quizas gustado.. que exploten algo mas los celos. Casi no hay.Es una de las tailandesas que mas me gustaron..
