Excuse me, this is not what I want from ROMANCE series

This lakorn's pra'ek is Job Thuchapon, whom I remember from 'Love Lie Hide Fake', so it's difficult to un-think his face wearing girl's makeup... When I look at him, it kinda looks like he's still wearing it:) He'll always look kinda girly to me. There is Chai Chatayodom who is 44, and Big Sarut who is 49, and still I found them both more attractive men.

Also there's Ampere Suttatip, naturally I wanted to skip as many scenes as she was in but anyways, the scriptwriters clearly just used her whenever they needed to interrupt something: they let her come in and interrupt. Or at least she was calling on the phone:)

I appreciated very much that single episode runtime didn't run for almost two hours. Thaank youu:) The number of episodes is considerably high, though. So I thought it very optimistic from the producers but I wasn't sure whether I'll really stick with this for that long:) But, I like the trope where someone does date someone with the purpose or some agenda, but actually likes them anyways. That might keep me onboard.

It felt weird whenever Ae Maneerat's character called Chai Chatayodom's character "dad". Chai is 9 years older than Ae. Kinda weird age to have a child, LOL. Either way she seems very toned down here and I might not particularly notice her, have I not known her from her comedy roles.

There's also Ohm Kanin (I'm sorry, but I reeeally don't find him attractive, either) relentlessly pursuing the bland nang'ek (I didn't even bother to look up the name of the actress) also with some agenda, apparently (else it would be unexplicable) but that one I was not even interested in. When I was about to give up on the cast, there was a night club scene in episode 4 with Jacqueline Muench! Wow, Jacqueline Muench is here? I haven't noticed, LOL. But her face is definitely the most interesting in this show. What a difference to the "main" actress. So, albeit there was no equally interesting guy around, I woke up from my slumber.

The main couple's line got my interest soon, too. The boy dates the girl to spy on her dad. He infiltrates the family house by her side, nevertheless she feels unloved by her dad and gets practically kicked out from that house. Packing her things, the clueless girl clings to the boy (who was still sending her dad's info to his boss a minute ago) as the only one who loves her, when her own dad does not... Not knowing he's only hired to be her boyfriend. But even he gets stirred by watching this. And I continued watching the series: the cast might not do it for me, but at least there was something about the character's dynamics.

But then the girl finds out the truth in episode 6 out of 27. So it was only a prelude... Now she wants him out of her life and I could relate. Both him and the other guy who exposed him (she does the mistake not telling HIM to go, as well). When it's like that, the super secret organization the fake boyfriend works for decides to reveal itself to her and ask her openly to cooperate. Is she going to turn into some kind of secret agent herself? It's the most stupid thing I ever heard, nevertheless it seems the show is aiming there. Either way, it is the bewitching Jacqueline Muench who steals the show even in a side role.

I must say while watching, I was COMPLETELY uninterested in the whole plot and I didn't care who is the evil corrupted one in the family, who works for who and even who murdered nang'ek's dead mother. Therefore, I wished for nang'ek to tell the secret organization to stick it. But, of course, the next scene we can see nang'ek already collaborating with them. Now. If I don't care about the plot, I don't like the main guy, I don't like the main girl, and I'm not interested in further progress of this story, should I continue watching such series?
