The (only) good thing in drama called 'Glass Mask' ('Nakark Kaew') was watching Bright Norraphat. I was kinda looking forward his next lakorn, if I could, I would pair him again with Maprang Alrisa (rather than the decade older Cheer). As for the main couple, I like Jes Jespipat, but Pooklook Fonthip? Not so much, lol.
First, Pooklook & Bright's characters are together. Their only problem seems to be... money. Now, the main girl seems to be smart enough to suspect a shady looking investment scheme might not work for her boyfriend. But apparently not smart enough to suspect a "life coach" filling people's ear with beautiful words about how anyone can become rich. It's a groomed woman in her thirties, calling herself 'Venus'. Of course because everyone's thai, nobody is really capable to actually call her that, all they are able to pronounce is 'Vinat'. Therefore, I'll call her Vinat, too. Anyways, the foolish main girl in search for help actually helps HER to a get promo for free.
I gotta say after watching it for a bit, I sincerely wished the girl listened to her mother's advice and went back to her parent's house in the country. Why pay expensive city rent she cannot afford when she can live in clean air area for free? She was lucky she had those parents. But no, she'll better cry on this "net celebrity"'s shoulder on her live stream. Therefore, I didn't feel much compassion for her tears. Also it looked like romance would not be prominent in this story. Unless they have a steamy lesbian romance in store between her and this Vinat, lol. She's the classic crook who hears a person saying she's got no money and replies to her by asking money from her, lol. Poor girl is to pay 50 thousand baht for an advice course by her, yeah might seem blatant absurd but sadly, on foolish and desperate people, this method works. They're really capable to sell their liver to nearest loan shark if someone PROMISES to solve their money problems FOREVER. While I do understand this, I didn't wish to watch a lakorn about it. When will Jes Jespipat appear? Shall he save this thing?
Right on cue, he really appears. First it looks like he might save the foolish nang'ek from the crook in the last minute. My, I would really appreciate that, the whole lakorn could go different direction, but then Cheer Thikumporn would not be listed here as main role. So, the girl acts like c*w, doesn't listen to him and preaches to him her theories, instead. While she could just listen and look into beautiful eyes of Jes Jespipat. Foolish girl! I would sure listened to him piously, lol. This way, he soon receives a phone call and just leaves.
Nang'ek then gets what she asked for. Even the boyfriend supports her decision to throw her/their last money away. He even no longer wants her to invest in his ponzi scheme. No, he attends the "course" with her and therefore meets Cheer's character. He's also extatic and believing they're on the path to gold. There's a funny scene with a hall filled with foolish people chanting "we are smart". Well, she could not possibly let them chant the truth, lol. Bright Norraphat's boyfriend watches the lecture in awe and then even starts flirting with the 10 years older woman. She starts brainwashing him, apparently having fun as a bonus. He goes shirtless right in 1st episode. I gotta say I almost started cheering for... Cheer, lol. So sleazy. And funny how she wraps any male around her finger, decade younger or decade older (there's that shady "assistant" of hers).
Meanwhile, Pooklook's silly nang'ek runs into Jes Jespipat's character for the second time and third time... I would say she didn't deserve to meet the guy again, but she IS this lucky. It's soon revealed he's the only character who is neither naive nor a crook in this lakorn, but she's not to notice as she's too busy smiling like a fool and believing anything Vinat says. Her boyfriend acts like he was born yesterday too, but his admiration for Vinat rather makes nang'ek jealous.
Then another element is introduced which is pra'ek's mother. She's apparently a psycho carrying a gun... I'm afraid the lakorn reached the limit of over-corny elements in it, I'll rather move on to next show with Jes Jespipat.
There was simply nothing I really wished to watch in this show. I didn't enjoy Bright with Cheer (there's a sex scene right in episode 2). Jes was too good for the female characters he was surrounded by. The money theme also vexed me. Nang'ek cried for her "huge money problems" in public. She had a car. Her parents had a house. She had savings. Her dad had savings. She had small bussiness. It was small but it was working. First, she sells her car to attend a corny motivation course, then she's about to blow her savings/her dad's life savings? She wasn't lacking money, she was lacking brains. Too irritating to watch...
