A perfect short drama?
For a short drama, it goes way beyond we all expected. The plot isnt too complicated. Fast and interesting enough. the directing and editing are also very good (for a short drama/idol drama). No choppy editing that we usually see. But its the leads acting and chemistry that actually made this drama one of the best short dramas. When it comes to short drama, I think all of us arent expecting amazing plot. But it is the acting, chemistry and directing are what make the drama fun and engagingVond je deze recentie nuttig?

acting/cast:
ohno satoshi.this is his first drama so it is his first drama that i watched.i dont know him. but his acting in here is superb.aas this is his first lead,you can see that his acting at the beginning of the story is quite akward but as the story progress,we can see that he already perfected his naruse ryo.you can figure out what he feels just looking at his face.his look that change from smile to evel face during his first meeting with serizawa is scary.thats the actual moment that make me fall in love with this drama.
toma ikuta.i watched him before in hana kimi.so i dont if he cloud bring this kind of role.but he surprised me.he is really good.his character is quite annoying at the beginning but as the story move,we start to learn bout him and who is actually serizawa.

The best youth drama EVER
Youth drama never my type. I watched a few but I didnt remember any of them. But this one is definitely will gonna stay in my head and heart forever.ACTING:
The cast is amazing. You wont find any fault on the acting.
PLOT:
Honestly I like that the drama is totally focus on the leads with some side stories which are not distracting but still potray some realistic about them. Some people might not satisfied that the leads got together only at the end. But I am happy. Their friendship is the best thing about them. Even though they never admitted that they like each other. But it is totally obvious that they only can see each other. He/she is the most important person in their lives. You wont see any cringe and cheesy scenes because they themselves dont like it. The drama finish with them admit their feelings. But I can imagine that they would be chaotic but understanding couple like XJJ parents.
CHARACTERS:
No boring characters. I love the leads so much. KJW personality is usually play by 2nd lead instead of ML while GZ personality is typically a ML personality. GZ is the usual nonchalant and cool guy while KJW is the supportive, sarcastic and funny best friend. So there is no 2nd lead syndrome. You just going to fall in love with KJW even before he lost his weight. Meanwhile XJJ is the usual FL we see in many other drama; brave and kind. But at the same time, she is athletic and hardworking. Dont worry you wont see her acting cringe or awkward in front of her crush. I like that the leads just naturally grow up and 'forget' their crush because they are just that, CRUSH.

I am surprised
I have low expection for this lakorn because lakorn with action never amazed me. But I am surprised how much I love this lakorn.Reasons to watch:
1) Bank - His acting really surprise me. He is good at conveying his emotion. He is so cool when fighting but cute when he isnt in fighting mode. His fighting scenes are amazing
2) Chemistry between leads - The leads can feel the deep connection between them due to their past lives even from their first meeting. I usually hate instant love. But because of amazing chemistry, I can feel they are trying to let their affection grow because of themselves, not due to their past lives. Every cute scenes between them are heart fluttering
3) Good plot with mystery and supernatural - 18 episodes didnt feel long and dragging. The lakorn has many sides. It is not only a fight againt good guy and bad guy but there is also fight between the bad guys themselves. Thats probably why the lakorn isnt boring
4) Good action scenes - All fighting scenes are properly choreograph. I usually avoid lakorn with action but this lakorn has done amazing job. MVP for fighting scenes are Trai. Since guns are useless against him, he only fight using hand combat and sword. Trai has smooth movement and his entrance into fight is chef kiss
Annoying parts:
1) Annoying side characters - Some side characters cant even fight or have magic but still persistant to follow the adventure
2) Good guy only has 1 guy with magic - Trai needs to save practically everyone since he is the only one with magic among the good guys. Not that I am complaining because he is so cool when saving people. But it is still annoying to see the good guys are so weak without him. And there is inconsistency in Sirinda power. Fortunately she still can save herself in some situations

Revenge drama with many sweet moments
I started the drama with low expectations because I love the old version. I rewatch the old one few times. For this drama The plot revenge is not complicated much tho it's still okay. And I like that sometimes the good guys win and sometimes the bad guys win. I hate when revenge drama only show the bad guys keep winning.The acting is a bit lacking compared to the old one. But we can't actually compare the acting between these 2 dramas because the old one has some of best actors in lakorn land. So the actors of this drama actually did a great job. I hope to see the lead in other drama.
I give high rating because it has so many sweet and romantic moments. I think this is the sweetest drama with contract marriage. The leads chemistry is amazing. The lead couple has communication problems at certain situations but they still remain together and enjoy their moments together because they want to feel the happiness. As someone who likes the old Rahut Rissaya, I would say I like this remake more. One of the best remake lakorn I've ever watched. I totally gonna rewatch this
