When I first read the storyline I skipped over this drama. It sounded too unbelievable and ridiculous. Thankfully the great reviews brought me back and made me decide to give it a try. I’m so glad I didn’t miss this gem!

The storyline may seem a bit far fetched at first glance. But the drama takes its time developing the story in a way that makes it more believable and understandable. The two issues that most people have with the drama are the ML leaving his wife and the surrogate storyline. So I’ll address these issues first.

I thought I wouldn’t agree with the ML leaving his wife but after seeing what she put him through with all of her lies I completely agree with his decision. Finding out your spouse has been lying to you throughout your whole married life is devastating. A relationship can’t flourish on a foundation of lies. Her actions made him feel like she wanted him for his money. And his pain upon the demise of his marriage was so touching and realistic.

As for the surrogate storyline, neither of the two families are keen on the idea at first, in fact, both sides are appalled at the idea. That type of reaction made things seem more realistic. So when certain circumstances eventually force the families to go ahead with the surrogate idea it was easier to understand their decision. Also, I have no problem understanding why the ML’s mother wants her only son and heir to give her a grandchild to inherit their family’s fortune, especially considering his age and disposition. The romance develops at a reasonable pace and all of the side characters are very interesting. The comedy is just right, not too much or too little.

Acting:
The acting was above average for the main cast. I have nothing bad to say about them. It took me a while to warm up to the ML’s former mother in law. She overacted her parts a bit and I got tired of her screechy voice. Some of the other side characters were a bit too over the top with their acting. But the main cast were superb.

Overall impressions:
This is one of the best Thai dramas I’ve ever seen. I like all kinds of dramas. I’ve seen hundreds of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese dramas. But this was one of the sweetest, lightest, easiest to watch Thai dramas I’ve had the pleasure of watching. The story was deep enough to keep the interest going without going too far with the angst or sadness. It is a light sweet romance with a little bit of angst, drama, and comedy on the side. I would definitely recommend it.
