As non Thai but from South East Asian, before watching this I was only exposed to 3 types of Thai video Genre. 1. Thai Kick Boxing (Ong Bak), Ghost stories or inspiring/ funny advertisement. Thanks to Netflix for suggesting this. It was lazy Saturday afternoon when I start watching this and the 1st episode was hard to swallow and doesn't really grab me. The only thing that makes me stay watching was Ranee Campen. Halfway pass... the story, the acting, the scenes hooked me!. It's a nice rom-com set around the majestic Thai kingdom giving the historical aspect with the up to date flavour. Please...please.... expand the story so I can enjoy it for another year.....s

I remembered watching 1st episode of the older season almost 2 years ago & it didn't grab me. This current season pop up on my recommendation & probably due to my age & different settings in my life, different cast etc, this season does grab my attention. Just like any reality show, I think it really helps if the showcased individuals has charms & real personalities instead of fake persona. The producer does a good job so far for this current series. As the camera is not turned on 24/7 & the whole week is edited in 30 minutes, commentator helps bridge the gap on things that are not aired, activities on tweeter etc.

While waiting for the next episode to arrive I actually ending up binging the previous seasons (as I wrote the netflix in the country where I lived aired until eps12 while in factual it's already at eps15) & googling about all the other seasons (there are 4 on Netflix), the good, the bad & the ugly. I managed to just read enough without spoiling it.

Yes, it can be boring, yes it can be cheesy, feel scripted at some points, not intellectually challenging but it's entertaining without overly exaggerating. I'm entertained... so Netflix thank you for sponsoring this show.

I'm happy that this show popped up in my recommended section in Netflix. The story line was intriguing & so captivating that I finish all episodes in 2 nights. It's story telling is much different than Hollywood, yet if you enjoy drama in general, you will enjoy this. Scene by scene changes in an unpredictable way. You feel like you want to know more about its character stories and you are teased with clips of flashbacks, side stories etc. LOVE IT.
