I neither believed nor wished the main pairing

This drama is full of people trying to get into high class. Funny how high class & low class still exist in Thailand, nevertheless even more funny are the ways the low class people try to get into high class using the internet. Like, the rich house has a maid who has a daughter. Now, the maid's daughter has a smartphone connected to social media, with which she if able to film videos and post them online, mostly hanging around rich house and other luxurious settings. Soon she self-calls herself a celebrity and pretends to be the rich house's owner's niece at parties. The family, instead of simply firing the maid - by which even her daughter would lose ANY connection to the rich house - keeps her on, because after all we need to fill 14 movie-length episodes with a "drama". Even James Jirayu portrays a person the rich family somehow adopted and let him work in the family's company, which results in him being now interested in the rich family's daughter, who regrettably did not learn to be as good at work as him, so they need him. And who, despite having a perfect learning example in her own dad, who recently divorced her mother for a younger model (another aspiring low class aiming to become high class) gives him too much attention. She decides to play him (hence the lakorn name) and win over him while he does know and accept this, because even if she intends to play him only, it still means she showers him with attention and so he doesn't mind it, as long as he has her attention (and he's right, as she'd probably win had she just not cared). This way, they are to cross their swords in a game where she tries to win over him while he tries to win her over. In case you're anxious how this will turn out, the lakorn opens with her giving birth to his baby, so there's really no suspense about whether he wins her over, LOL. Despite that, it takes A WHILE to finish the mega-long episodes. So, it's up to you whether you are up for that...

As for me, I kept reminding myself it's a ROMANTIC lakorn and Nai & Nok are the endgame nevertheless it was not how it FELT like. I just didn't believe that Lakkhanai would be pining 10 years for the FL who was stupid and there were equally pretty girls all around (for example Pear Pitchapa looks VERY similar to Taew in this drama... that happens when the cast shares the same stylist:) on the other hand, he certainly had more than one reason to get back at her. The whole time, I thought he was just faking. That's how it LOOKED like, given the ML's acting "skills". So I really didn't believe his angelic, forgiving nature when looking at the face of James Jirayu with slimy hair. Who got the idea to pair Jirayu & Taew, I don't know, but I didn't believe the couple even as a fiction. The 1 hr. 50 min. really dragged for me every time, and during the 7th attempt I just gave up.
