Strong and Spunky Female Lead
The drama is about catching the bad guys, the main characters falling in love, unraveling old mysteries/murders, and family and friendship. I love that the FL stays consistent with her character as this tough girl with a smart mouth who grew up in the slums, but is smart and warm-hearted. When P’Aik was constantly contacting her, showing up at her school and work place, the ML and almost everyone else assume that the FL is his mistress. The ML asks her why she doesn’t defend herself against this misconception. Her response is that no matter how loudly she shouts her innocence, no one would believe her because she’s from the slum. It’s as if your birthplace and your socio-economic station in life determines your integrity and morality. How sad. The one storyline that I am not satisfied with is how the ML’s sister (cousin really) gets away with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder. She hires a gunman to kill the FL and the FL ends up being shot in the arm. She should’ve been prosecuted and sent to prison, but I know this doesn’t fit into the drama as a whole. Added to all of this is that the FL is able to see ghosts and future happenings. This supernatural ability is explored a bit and integrated in the story lines, but people just seem to accept her ability. The second couple (Neung and the police Inspector, Padet) is cute and provides a much needed break from all the angst in the FL and ML’s relationship. The last episode provides an excellent closure to all the storylines; I felt satisfied as a viewer that the ending is not rushed like so many other dramas.
