Synopsis:
On the night of a full moon, two people from two different
worlds that look alike switch places. From the past is Duangkaew, a
conservative and quiet girl, whereas from the present is Opal, a girl who is
tomboyish and outspoken. When these two switch places, what will happen to them
and the people in each world?
My Thoughts:
The premise of this story reminded me of Bhuppae Sunniwat which made me started on it. Besides, I find myself liking the concept of a modern person being brought to the past and living life alongside ancient people. Though it is definitely different in plot from Bhuppae Sunniwat, it was a pretty decent story.
About the story, I don't know Thai history but it seems that this story is very loosely based on history or actually really fiction as there was no mention of historical chronology or anything in this story other than things related to its own universe. Even if so, they did implement introduction of a few Thai customs such as the garlands, Thai cuisine, full moon festival and so on which boost the stories' appeal to me.
As mentioned in the synopsis, two girls who look alike and have parents who look alike swapped places unintentionally, having to enter lives of a person completely different from their own. Opal being more tomboyish causing hazards and shocking Duangkaew's family with her behaviour and actions. Duangkaew being more feminine surprising Opal's family with her talents and soft nature. Both having to deal to live in a world much different than their own.
My comments on plot devices and the plot, they pretty much touch and go on things, like Opal having her modern items and devices which were only used for like an episode or two and then never seen again. They don't really mind the repercussions of changing the past as they have not touched at all on that unless them changing the past was already pre-written. To be honest, I was not really paying attention when the scenes change to the present time as they were not really appealing to me. The couple, the plot and mostly everything in the present. I only liked it when they were deciphering the ways to go to the past which made me curious. I focused more on watching the past scenes.
Namtarn is a very good actress, she did very well in portraying polar opposites and making me as a viewer completely able to identify which character is she immediately. Like, I can really see Opal and Duangkaew as two completely different person from her portrayal. And that I really enjoyed watching her interactions as Opal with Luang Osot/ P'Morr played by Puen Khanin. They were so cute together. Puen Khanin was very expressive with his face. He excelled in being cute, serious, concerned, happy etc. His emotions really light up the scenes. Their chemistry was over the top compared to the other couple which I don't enjoy at all for reasons I can't really put a finger on.
All in all, it was a really good drama for the most part. I downloaded the whole drama, part by part because the subber released the episode by parts, which goes to show how much rewatch value this drama has. I really recommend giving this a try as it was very decent to watch and try out. Enjoy drama - watching!
