Rating are low, it's surprising because the buzz was present. The MV has reached 1million views in 1week without the lakorn has been on air. Historically, ch7 has always beat ch3 for many reason, ch3 has their own apps " 3 live " so many people look it directly on their smartphone. Another reason is ch3 share the epiosode just few hours after it ended on their official youtube channel so people can rewatched it again whereas for ch7, people have to look at it directy on TV.
LLSR has a rating aroung 5 in bangkok and urban but around 2 in rural. This kind of story who is very modern may not be the taste of rural people who prefer slap kiss lakorn / period lakorn.
But LLSR is the number 1 in social media ( 1st in twitter), the 1st episode part 1-9 has already 600 000 views in just 1day. It's amazing !! And for those who have watched LLSR on live, everybody have noticed that there are lots of ads during the breaks because NY are both superstar of Thailand so many agencies wants to promote their brands. So that's why ch3 doesn't care that much about rating because they are now in digital world and they can attract many agencies without having high rating like ch7.
I'm sure when we will get through the switch bodies part, rating will increase.
Sure rating is important but it is not the scale to measure if a lakorn is good or bad, it depends on taste of everyone. If you look at it and you enjoy it, it's the most important thing. Most of all comments on LLSR 1st ep seems to be very good, the feedback is excellent. Rural thai people need to open their heart to accept some new modern lakorn like LLSR or Akom.
about acting : both main lead that l care more about in every drama in this one was really good yaya had her skills but a little awkward to manage it in some scenes nadech was good and more dominante in his roll in this episode story is really really nice can't say anything about but directing and editing is a way terrible bc the editor don't know how to set and mix scences together like first introduction of the carechters actions and red rcarpet didn't mix in a suitable way morever director didn't design red carpet scene in a nice way like when superstars cars arrived or Petras walking in RC director assign short time to this scene and this should shooting in a way better actions since I know has special director to manage it but shooting with main director was good I'm sorry if someone bothers by reading my review but it was my oppnion for the first ep. Thank you.
. In either care, it is a bit disappointing but I hear that CH3 has been struggling with ratings recently so this might actually be good? I do hope that the ratings go up once the switch happens. I also hope the production company fixes up the editing more. I hate to say this but the editing was awful in the 1st episode. Nadech's hair change from short to long to short again was extremely distracting too. The award show shots werent done very well either. Then there was the weird camera work especially in that scene when Petra's manager comes in to talk to her while she is at the store looking at the candy purse with the evil dude. I thought this lakorn had lots of money invested in it was produced and directed by very experienced people yet the editing and directing look extremely rushed,
