I just finished watching the last episode. It was an interesting series, somehow different to the typical high-school/college/university dramas BL dramas, of which especially the Thai industry has produced a ton. Overall the series is watchable, and rather enjoyable. The acting of both lead characters is really very good, with a very good chemistry between them. The secondary cast leaves some skill to be desired, but then again this might be due to director's demands, hard to say. having said this, keep in mind that the acting mainly revolves around whining of one's bad luck, saying how much people love each other, or how greedy people become greedier by the minute. The second kind of acting is simply bad here... I guess, what I'm trying to say, that although I liked it a lot, the versatility of acting skills is quite low, so yeah, very good but sort of boring.

The series kept my uninterrupted attention approximately up until the 7th episode, then it started becoming an emotional dragging, I kept watching out of curiosity what happens in the end. Probably the series would be much better if it was kept shorter (perhaps six episodes), it felt like endless scenes with people whining about their fate (well played, but sort of repeating over and over again), and (and least for my personal taste) too much continuous crying. Additionally there are several logical holes in the story (for example the origin of the descendants of someone who has not have been able to .... use his plumbing..., who is the true reincarnation of Wadfad, how did the bad ill guy come about, etc, etc.

As a whole, the series is not very bad, and can be watched. Nonetheless it does not particularly stand out. Chemistry between the lead characters is excellent, the second characters are caricatured and the plot needs polishing.
