Typically spicy hetero fanfic for adolescents

Warning: Spoilers
How would you like Thai series based on a similar sketch of a Kdrama? 'A young lady, abandoned by her parents, fighting troubles still facing the world with a smile. She falls for a tall, charming and rich 'falang' male lead who adds to her complications. She also has a neighborhood resourceful oppa who exhibits severe second male lead syndrome helping her in time. She lives in a dilemma for more than half of the story only to have a happy ending with the lover. Girl's side has a supportive lady while guy's side always has a mysterious past' Plot is a slow burn...... Why P' Golf?

I can't conceptualize Namtan being a fragile lady. Not because of her acting but because she doesn't fit. Khao chai? One positive take on this series is the depiction of maltreatment of actors/models in the industry by the rich and powerful. Also, why is a woman, who likes open relationship or has a strong aura always depicted as negative? Otherwise locations, styling, costumes, interiors, frame of the scenes, coloring, casting, everything is flawless. The opening scene had me excited that Luke is a mafia in a model's masquerade but No... Three ladies, two actively aggressive while one passively, opposite one man, Luke? Ave maria....

So Much Wrong With This
PalmBeachG16 August 2023
Terrible storyline, cringed at all the violent beating scenes. My 5 stars are only for the casting of the 2 male leads, as both of them fit the roles perfectly for what they were given; Luke Ishikawa Plowden as Donovan - he definitely fit the role of a famous romantic handsome model, and Pod Suphakorn Sriphothong as Mr Aood the neighbor who is a steady, smart, dependable, love kids perfect husband kind of type but lacks a romantic spark. The acting skills could have been better. The FL was cast all wrong imo - lacked acting skills, was not a match for the ML whatsoever. Much annoying scripting - not used to T Dramas and tried not to compare to K-dramas or C-dramas, but didn't like much about it.
