Missed Potential and Compelling Performances
I initially had high hopes, thanks to Mark and Yaya, but the show is starting to lose its appeal. Yaya's portrayal as naive and gullible is becoming grating, and the antics of the aunt and female cousin aren't helping matters. The humor feels too exaggerated, relying heavily on physical comedy and over-the-top situations. The comedic scenes feel forced and unnecessary. It feels like a throwback to the '80s, which is surprising for a drama in 2024. Love at First Night falls short compared to KC, lacking the engaging storyline that keeps viewers hooked. However, despite these shortcomings, Mark and Yaya's chemistry stand out.Was this review helpful to you?

Hot Chemistry on a Not so Hot of a Mess
Love at first night is the first Thai Lakorn that I watched while it was still airing. My reason for watching is because I like Mark and Yaya in Waves of Life. The toxic fighting of their characters Jee and Sathit made me fall in love with their chemistry.Love at First Night is subpar drama compared to Waves of Life. It lacks the storyline that would engage watchers. They also have some unecessary wacky scenes. But, despite this poor storyline and concept, Mark and Yayas's acting were on a different level. They give a very fresh take on Apo and Mueang. Their chemistry still delivers from the screen on to the viewers hearts.
The show started to grow on me on Episode 7. The family problems and dynamics are really resolvable. But, once Apo and Mueang started to get closer again, I started to feel invested on this show. I think their love story is the Boy fell, Girl fell harder, Boy fell harder-type. On Episode 13, this wacky show just became a ball of fluffy romance. And, it works, Why? Because of the CHEMISTRY. Damn.
