rape is not romance
I would assume most everyone would expect the mature romantic male lead, not to rape his love interest, a teenage girl, under any circumstances. I was wrong. The aftermath? A forced cuddle session for a tearful teenager, with her unrepentant rapist, the male lead. That's criminal enough; I hope she wasn't underage too.Sometimes, there is no nuance, you can put forward that will soften sexual assault. No debate, that will convince, that tears on a pillow are invisible because the main couple had feelings. As if rape was inevitable. The female lead's life misfortune negating her humanity, her feelings something that needed to be forced. How foolish of any woman to expect romance, and, heaven forbid, a wish to keep her body choices intact. Awe, but, the choice was not hers, but the writer's. Sometimes you can't differentiate, from forced, or coerced. I lean toward the victim's reaction, and in this case dialogue supported it. Rape to romance, is an out dated scenario, that is easily replaced by a loving moment. Rape is not romance, and does not belong in the romance genre. Avoid.

The lakorn is mediocre, first the storyline is typical and follows through. There's the mafia boss from Hong Kong, falls in love with the girl, abducts her, but more like her father used her as a collateral to get money so.. etc. etc. Of course we get the typical plots of misunderstandings, lots of going back in forth between the actual lover and the ex-lover, and lots of scheming between the evil people.The characters- the pran'ek has the typical mafia guy traits, he's lovable, playful, gets blinded from the truth, sometimes he's rough, etc. I hated how like other pran'ek it's so hard for them to just cut off the evil lady from their life, like OMG it's either ""responsibility or love"", HATED it so much
The niang'ek---her character is pretty much similar to other niang'ek characters that you see in a ""Mafia/Kidnapping lakorns"" The only thing that I enjoyed from her character is that she had one likable trait. She can be tough in some situations. She argues, retaliates, and beats up the nang'rak. It's just enjoyable to see how she doesn't back down from the evil ladies or whoever that messes with her, but when it comes to the pran'ek she's like weak to him.
Of course as we get near the end of the lakorn you'll come to notice the niang'ek just becomes so weak and annoying (just my opinion)
Overall there are cute scenes here and there, enjoyable scenes, etc. It's not that bad of a lakorn nor was it the best. I would recommend watching it and fast skipping over the boring parts LOL.

I Really found this unnecessary so as I got to the last episode, like really this is the last episode yet they just really had to plug in the "memory loss" plot line into it. Like OMG I found that soooo unnecessary

What I dislike it is more plots of supporting casts than the leads. The romance part between the leads is just one-fourth of the whole lakorn. Although the male lead is part of mafia, not much mafia story is portrayed here (except for some bodyguards and casino scenes) A simple story for those beginner lakorn viewer.
