This is a pretty classic lakorn that a lot of people have reviewed, but I figured I'd just put my two cents in as I've been wanting to write a review for this for a while. I watched this twice before I made my MDL account and was gonna watch it a third time so I could give a more accurate review, but something occurred in the lakorn that made me stop cold turkey - for the sake of wanting to remember the good things about this, I will mainly base my review on my first 2 watches.

Basically this is the best slow burn romance lakorn, and the historical aspect makes it that much better. All that matters is the way Por Date gazes lovingly at Kadesurang. I have an embarrassing amount of saved screenshots of Date looking at her and watching him grow to love her is super endearing. Him mimicking her modern mannerisms was also super cute. Kadesurang/Karakade is also very endearing and it's really fun to watch her be a fish out of water as a modern lady in ancient times. Even more cool is that she was previously a historian, and her appreciating all the ancient customs/things made me appreciate them too. Her enthusiasm is infectious. I also liked how she didn't interfere with the events she knew was coming and was a silent observer instead. 

Other great things about this lakorn is that there's no crazy jealous/bitchy second leads, amazing 2ndry cast, engaging plot and how it presented the history of Ayutthaya in an informative and engaging manner. The best thing for me was honestly the music; boran music is my total weakness and all the songs were beautiful, poignant and carried the mood of the lakorn very well. I pretty much have all the songs on my playlist.

One thing I recall that I didn't like about this lakorn is how Karakade would use her modern mannerisms and expect her servants to understand - I felt this was a bit much. I also felt Karakade's progression to loving Date was not well done; while there were many reasons for her to fall for him, I kinda felt like she just came to like him "just because" and not because she truly loved him (like I couldn't feel deep love from her compared to the deep love I felt from Date). 

Another thing I have to factor in is what happened in my 3rd attempt at watching; basically in the beginning, Date hates Kadesurang because of the crap that Karakade did. But while hating her, they showed clips of him being nice to her for no apparent reason, which made no sense. He goes back to hating her but that was enough to turn me off. I'm not sure how I didn't catch this the first couple times I watched, though it may be because of how I've changed as a lakorn watcher then vs now. 

I'll likely get over this bump and will go back to re-watch this at some point, but for now I'm happy to remember it as an amazing slow burn romance with a complex, intriguing plot. I'd totally recommend you watch if you haven't already and am looking forward to the sequel.
