Promising, but disappointing.
First Impression:
I first started this drama with pretty low expectations because I was bored in life. After the first few episodes, I was pretty hooked on the storyline and was expecting more for the climax and ending. However, it is sad to say that I came out disappointed with the last 12 episodes of the drama.

Story: 5.5/10
The story description pretty much summarizes the first ten episodes of the drama. It's exciting and you just can't wait for the next episode to come out. However, by episode ten, you're just waiting for the big reveal and the ending. With the viewers believing the drama will end at episode ten, we all left disappointed as the story gets unnecessarily dragged on. The last twelve episodes are repeats of the same conflict and unnecessary build ups to a very disappointing reveal. This drama could've been solved in 10 episodes, but nope, we need all the non-existence sweet love scenes and unnecessary "that was dumb" moments. In conclusion, the story line seemed promising but beware to be disappointed.

Acting/Cast: 7/10
This is my first lakorn of both main leads and so not a very good first impression.
Let's start off with the lead actress: Fah Yongwaree Anilbol. Fah is no-doubt gorgeous and stunning. However, the character she played on the other hand is not that great. I tried to understand her decisions and her feelings, but I just couldn't empathize with her. Nabi was the, "I'm tough but soft inside" type of girl. Independent, sure; but very, very, very emotional. More so than her character needs it. It's understandable that her only family, her sister, is missing, but as any Thai lakorn, the acting has to be over the top. But Fah does seem like a promising actress. She reminds me a lot of Mai Davika and Mook Mookda, so I hope her future roles would showcase her skills better.
Next, we have the lead actor: Joss Wayar. Okay, bit biased, but he does have a hot bod. However, that does not blind me from his lack of character development in the drama. I wished they focused on that a little bit more in the drama, but the transition of a bad boy to a good boy after falling in love was just non-existent. You just assumed he became a good boy because he fell in love with Nabi, there were little no scenes showing the progression (even after 22 episodes). Typical Thai drama troopes but how it was laid out in the drama was just terrible. Overall, hot, but hopefully his upcoming roles will redeem this role.
My favorite character of all: Nat Myria. She is a goddess! I love her acting. I know, I know, she plays the villain chacter, but I couldn't help but fall in love with her character. Why couldn't the writers do the same for the two main leads? But, Aunt Wee is such a complex but human-like character that brings out the evil and good within people. She had reasons for her action, although not excusable, and even though she was greedy for love, she didn't put herself in the spotlight for attention. Her character development was the best among all of the characters and her ending was beautiful.
Okay, next is Luke and Jan who plays Nabi's best friends: Pong and Saen. Um, so, no thank you. At first, I was rooting for their character but then you just realize that Saen is too good for Pong and needs to move on. But I'm looking forward to seeing Luke act in "Oh My Boss". I wish the best for Luke and Jan's future in the Thai industry and will be looking out for them in the future.
Last two chacter that I believe needs a shout out is Win's parents: Chet and Wa. Oh my goodness, how did the best guy in the world fall in love with the worst human on earth? Chet, Win's father, is the sweetest, lovest, most understanding guy ever. On the other hand, Win's mother, Wa, is the most manipulative, self-fish, and conceited person ever. No surprise, Wa passes away. Yay, no one really misses her. On the other hand, Chet was probalby the one of the best actor to watch out there. My sisters and I even joked how if we were in Nabi's place, we would've picked the dad over the son based off of their character in the drama (LOL).
And all of the other characters don't really matter so let's move on!

Music: 7/10
This drama makes sure you never forget the theme song. The song was good, but I would never listen it again just because it brings up the bad memories of this drama.

Rewatch Value: 1/10
I wish I could put this as a 0/10, but MyDramaList won't let me. Never will rewatch this drama. Erased it from my Watch History and my mind. Just, no. Maybe in like 20 years to rewatch Aunt Wee's scenes, but otherwise, no thank you. Did not enjoy the drama, don't even know why I finished it. Could've been better. Literally skipped all the main leads scenes since it was just so hard to watch them be together. The writers tried to make it look "romantic" but it was just a big no-no sign of an abusive relationship. I seriously don't know how they rekindled their love (magic?).
Thank you to those who made it to the end of my rant. If you haven't seen this drama, this is a warning. Watch at your own risk, not really worth your time. But if you loved this drama, I respect your decision. There were few redeeming qualities of this drama (aka the aunt) but it wasn't enough to save this drama.
SPOILERS
To those who have finished the drama, didn't you find it funny how they dragged on the drama for 22 episodes and the producers finally decided that it's too long and did not one, but TWO time skips in the last episode? No? Just me, welp. Bye!
