Slacker's review:
Glad to see Pong returned to the small screen in such a short period of time. KKK's story is typical lakorn style, but Pong + Noon combi is something new. I like this pairing, guy is handsome, and the girl is damn pretty.
Pong's roles have always been "bad guy" on the outside, but "nice guy" deep inside. This type of image is stuck with him, but he's good at it. His characters can be very fierce, arrogant, demanding, and can switch over to a super sweet and gentle guy. Maybe all lakorn leads are like that...haha!
Noon's character is not the typical weak woman. She's gentle, but no pushover. We cld see how Kluay changes, from a woman who wanted to escape from Luk, to accepting him as her husband, and later on she took care of Margie like her own child. After the divorce, you cld see her struggling to control her heart. She left Luk, but her heart is with him. Nice acting from Noon.
Nam and Fang are new to me, and their romance was a tough one as well. I did not like Peemarn, but it was until Margie was dying, then Peemarn changed for better. He acknowledged his daughter, broke Nutta's heart, but he tried his best to get her back, and of coz', he helped Luk to win Kluay's heart again.
It's a pity that I disliked O's character here. I preferred him to be a super nice guy rather than a scheming and selfish man. Well, actually Jetsada was not a totally evil guy, just that his love for Kluay blinded his eyes.
A must-watch lakorn this year :)
