started strong, faltered in the middle, finished decently

The series started off strong but lost its momentum along the way. That said, I still enjoyed it enough to finish it.

The leads had a cute chemistry, although some scenes felt awkward. I wouldn't say it's due to their acting; their expressions were sometimes off, but it wasn't a major issue for me. Overall, the acting was decent and likely constrained by the script. I can understand why some viewers prefer the second leads, as their story and conflicts were indeed more engaging.

I was hoping to see more of the kids in the finale since they were the ones who made the beginning fun and interesting. I think the show lost its appeal for me when it shifted focus from that arc to finding NP's mom. I don't know but I just couldn't get attached to the mother-daughter story. Plus, the reveal of NP's mom's identity was so anticlimactic, considering how long they dragged out that plotline lol. Also for some reason, NP didn't seem as eager to find her mom as Laorchan was to clear her family's name or Kwanreutai was to gain her mother's favor in the previous installments. Yes, she was determined to get her brooch back and all, but the execution of that arc just felt flat. It's unfortunate that the writing for the female lead here was underdeveloped because I believe the Devaphrom girls are the backbone of these series.

I love dramas where the male lead is head over heels for the female lead tho, so that was the saving grace of this show for me. After watching a considerable amount of lakorns, it's rare for me to find a male lead who isn't problematic or a spineless pushover. Jak was consistently in love with NP from start to finish. He set boundaries with the SFL before courting NP and was respectful when he rejected Annie. Not once did he waver in his love for NP. While I sometimes find romance cringey when overdone, this show handled it just right. And the ending scene! The leads' scenes were admittedly boring at times, but they were adorable in that last scene.

This is my least favorite of the three so far due to the underdeveloped writing and mediocre production. However, I gotta admit that Jak and NP are my favorite couple out of the three despite the despites lol.

Overall, it was a delightful watch and something I'd recommend despite its fair share of flaws.
