I wouldn't mind it even if ALL lakorns were musicals...

Now, nang'ek here is 18. She has a chinese looking name. In her very first scene, she's both singing and dancing. She's a cute little girlie. Accompanied by a huge buffalo, LOL. But seriously, she looks even younger than 18, way younger than on the poster or MDL pic. Some scenes she could pass for 12.

Pra'ek is 24. He is SUPER cute (he looks like way, way more cute New Chaiyapol Pupart:) Given the givens, there is no kiss scene. He can only grab her and stare at her. Well, she IS almost a kid, LOL. But with him it's a pitty, he is so dreamy. So, due to huge number of episodes, the more it sucks there is nothing to wait that long FOR.

The plot is a BIT dated. The daughter wishes to take revenge on a music label that previously hurt her mom & dad. Irony being, she already lives in the youtube age, where no record company is needed. She can both make herself famous & fight her case without getting signed with them to "fight from the inside", still that's what she's going to do, for the story purpose of this lakorn. After all, she needs her encounters with the pra'ek, who of course is son of the music agency's owner.

Then our tiny girlie nang'ek and her "band" have their first concert. The concert is featured in the series. Xiang Ponsroung is extremely cute and fun to watch on stage. And not only her. The costumes alone can make anyone watching (especially from europe) go ROFL. Any male singer is a treat... Their shiny "tuxedos" are blinding my eyes for several hours after, LOL.

Meanwhile the "past secret" plot gets revealed in 1/3 of the series runtime and a new twist is added to it which is even sillier. I gotta say I lost my faint interest in the story quite soon. But... songs the characters (main characters, side-characters, antagonist characters) sang, were actually nice to listen to. So, sometimes when the singing was over and the drama part continued on, I wished to continue my listening mood on some mp3 or flac, instead of listening to GUN SHOTS, for god sake (seriously... please spare me of any gunfight in my lakorns). Isn't that a bit much? This really isn't something I would stretch over 35 episodes. Make a short & sweet musical and leave it! Watching already 17th episode of this, I wanted to sleep...

Luckilly, episode 19 there is another concert. It then gets like that on and off... The (side)characters whom I honestly felt like I did not care to watch for 1 more minute, then got onstage and suddenly turned fun (the dancing made me smile always:) But 35 episodes of this IS a lot. I was like sooo not interested in the plot. Though I enjoyed watching Namfon Sueangsuda, it gets repetitive, even with the concerts (the songs also repeated, there wasn't that many of them for that many episodes). I wished they'd at last lay off with the ridiculous "crime" element. That massively contributed to sink the whole series below even an average rating. After THIRTY TWO episodes of waiting, there is a romantic scene. In which he looks like he's going to kiss her... and touches her nose with his finger.

Overall, this blended stage concerts/press conferences with constant assassination attempts. In the end, it was ridiculous. It had more than pleasing cast & great songs, but as a "drama", it was not really watchable...
