IT IS A SLAP AND KISS DRAMA WHAT DID YOU EXPEXT?????!!!!
Don't expect this to be a "healthy" drama. I mean it. It is a revenge themed slap-and-kiss lakorn. Don't expect logic while watching this,like from the very beginning everything is over the top and unbelievable. Think of it as a very old school harlequin book and lower your expectations because this isn't about an epic love story or anything like that. To be honest I stayed for two characters Mam and Sila and their antics in the underworld,revenge and everything. They could've done things a lot differently but again dont expect much logic in this. All in all though for its specific genre it is a good drama...your experience while watching it might feel like eating junk food.Was this review helpful to you?
A drama that
Finally, I found a drama that suits me..I just knew that this drama is a remake but after 27 episodes, I really loved this version because of the amazing performances from the actors!!!Good job guys!!!1. The best villain in Thai’s drama land .She never give up to do the bad things until the last moments..That is a good lesson for me!!Whatever we are, we should never give up and “NEVER SAY NEVER” in everything that we do.Whatever it is, I empathize for her.She is another wife that got cheated by their husband. The cause of this post-problem is the effect of her husband’s foolish act. He cheated on his wife and BANF .baby on the way!!If there is a woman can accept that behavior and the child, I think that woman is an angel.Our villain is one of the best villain that I watched in Thai’s drama but her weakness is her son..Isk..isk..If she had a better son, she is the unbeatable villian in this drama.
2. OUR MAIN LEAD..Please give a big clap for Tor Thanaphob. I knew about him because he always pop out in channel GMM25. However, he is amazing and I love how he acts. I’m falling in love once again.But, I just watched Sky Castle (Korean Drama) and I really regret it very much.He is soooooo similar with Chani sf9 and everytime he appears in the screen, my brain redirect my mind to Chani.It is a big spoil for me but don’t worry Tor, your acting is better than Chani.
Anyway Chani sf9 (right) and Tor (right) .They quite seem different but when you watch this drama, Tor is like the older, mature, slimmer, taller and sexier version for our 19 years Chani. Along the drama, I wish Tor is Chani because I fall in love with Chani, 3 months earlier than our Tor…huhuhu..If Chani can perform or act like Tor, he will be popular like Im Si Wan..Now, I love both!!!
3. You reap what you sow..First, to all the foolish husbands that responsible to this extreme karma. I don’t want to write my opinion here because I am a WOMAN, so all the wives got my 100% support. Second, to our ML that lack of forgiveness. It is not easy to be a saint if similar circumstances happen to us. Third, Fourth and fifth….you should watch the drama and you’ll find yourself.
4. Beauty + brain .Good but when beauty that has brain but never use it = NO GOOD!!! either the woman or the man, use your brains if you have a brain because when you didn’t use it, the nerves will degenerate..Hahaha…However, to all writers: Can you create beauty + brains in you drama? and please including woman in the tagline.
SECOND LEAD SYNDROME
Of course…only one for me in this drama .Tor Thanaphob.His visual is best and his act make me his fangirl. His chemy with the FL is superb even her act is not as par as him. In the nutshell, this drama help Tor from a lead of idol drama to a lead of popular drama. He can start a pathway to stardom.
About the drama..
I give 9/10 because in the it dragged in the middle of drama. It has all the ingredients of Thai’s drama and luckily the writer/director make it more interesting and refreshing plot. The romance is so sweet like candy and feels new because of casual act of ML. This drama is typical Thai’s drama but don’t worry because it is good for me. That is another reason that I stop here. Not many things to write but the creativity and magic of writer and director help me to finish this 27 episodes without SKIP.Thank you once again for pick Tor as ML and thank you again for recognize his talent.
P/S: His popularity is skyrocketing in Thailand now !!!

Really Good
this was a very good Thia drama. Usually thia dramas are light and fluffy and you can see the holes in the storyline, but this one waa good.I really hated Sida.... i mean really hate her. I think i will hate her forever, that bc thr actress playing her was that good.
Sila was easy on the eyes to me so he could've done anything and it wouldve been fine with me.
The fl (sorry cant remember her name) was so annoying. If she called his name ONE MORE TIME!!! And her sister was no threat at all.
Overall this was a good one.

What I best liked in this drama are:
1) Great chemistry between Thanapob and Fern.
2) Intense acting from the antagonists most esp. the veteran actress who played Sida Litinatgoson.
What I dislike in this drama are:
1) Too much violence and extremely violent characters. The major male characters are dickbags. While the women antagonists are painted very viciously.
2) Lack-luster acting from Fern. This is bad considering she has great chemistry with Thanapob.
3) Cliched storyplot.

Tor has great emotions and acting ability. There's not one scene that he comes off as forcing or unnatural. Every scene, he portrays his character effortlessly. Sometimes, I forget that I'm watching a lakorn.
Together, Tor and Fern make the lakorn an A+ because they both put in a lot of effort and sincere emotions into their characters and in addition, they both have GREAT chemistry. I'm telling you, I've watched too many lakorns to list off awkward couples who force their chemistry which comes off as unlikeable.
Furthermore, all cast members in Hua Jai Sila done a very great job in their acting, which is one reason to watch this lakorn.
Concluding, the director, the scriptwriter, and the producer has all done a very good job at producing Hua Jai Sila. The storyline is well-developed and makes sense. I can tell that everyone worked very hard on this drama. Now that the drama is in the ending stage, all we have left is the conclusion of the lakorn.
Love Fern & Tor, and Hus Jai Sila! I recommend watching this drama.

Started well but
The story itself started well and really expected something beautiful, but it let me down completely.The actress is so plain, i mean her acting and the whining character itself. No self respect at all. I do really wonder in lakorns, why women writers can come up with something like this. Mostly of the time the dramas, lakorns an romantic staff are watched by women, so as a woman would you really forgive things like that.
The ML sleeping with her sister and after coming to her and say "what i had with your sister is different as with what i have with you". Omg forgive me if i can understand such an overhelmed statement. Really? Having sex is already a pleasure, you kissed her, you touched her, you did all the things with another woman and you claim you love her so much. When you love someone you choose a different method of revenge. Also there is so much of unwanted physical contact to the FL, i would say as a sexual harassment, it could be good to have a bold man, but not to the point you feel uncomfortable.
Anyway this is my rant and i do understand that in lakorn this things happen all the time, but i still get frustrated.
Maybe i didn't love anyone to the point to forgive such a thing and get happily married afterwards.

Nice story but annoying female lead therefore the romance failed because u will hate her
The story was good. The male lead is very talented and carried his character perfectly but why is the female lead fkng annoying. Its maybe not her fault but u really fell like pulling all your hair out watching her. And i even skipped the supposedly romantic scenes because i hate her that much. The female lead character was dumb, helpless , judgemental and not attractive at all (although shes pretty cute face in real). Its like throughout the drama all she did was:1) put up a constipated face (Either that or cry cry)
2) Say Pitorrrr Pitoorrr Pitorrrrrr Pitorrrr
3) Struggle struggle and push push sometimes for no reason...like duhhhhhhhh
U'd feel like bitch slap her and wish it was her character that died in the drama instead of the super awesome cool badass Aunt Mam.

worth if you have time
It isn't the best drama, that's for sure, but it was pretty interesting. I wouldn't say I liked the ending, it was so unreal. It didn't reflect reality at all. No one would change their personality overnight.The cast was incredible, full of good-looking actors and very talented. They made a good job portraying their role, especially the male lead which is INCREDIBLE. Totally fell in love with him. Min was the only character who annoyed me because of the lack of development. She literally had zero character development and did not help the story at all. She was also very limited, all she could have said was "Tor", "You are Tor", "leave my sister alone" and "Tor don't do it". I really wanted a strong FL for our ML since he is such a badass and amazing character. To be honest, I found myself many times asking what he likes about her despite the fact they knew each other since they were little. But still, I have to admit they had amazing chemistry. Didn't like the romance, but still bearable. The action was on point and our ML is just incredible. I also didn't like the music at all. Like, a big turn-off.

Heart-wrenchingly tense but also adorable heart warming
This story is actually sooo unique, it's very different from most dramas and the story's overall plot may seem like a cliché but the plot goes so much deeper and has sooo many layers it's amazing, it's anything but a cliché. It's absolutely amazing. One thing I loved about this drama was that it wasn't biased to show who was on the good side and who was in the bad. The storyline was presented in a way that didn't justify any of the characters actions but provided insight into why. It also showed the point of view of the villains and it was quite thought-provoking on who was at fault. The story is sooo interesting. It's about a guy that is bullied by his step mother and step brother for being born as the son of his father's mistress and it's about him, growing up and coming back to get revenge, while also reuniting with his childhood sweetheart and learning to let go. It's about how he makes mistakes and faces it's consequences and learns to let go and Love instead of Hate. It's very heart warming, but the Bad Boy-Good Girl trope is to kill for in this drama! The tension between the leads is mind-blowing! Another thing I loved was the ML's character development, if showed how he always had the soft spot for the FL, but he didn't just change for her overnight, it was a gradual change over a period of time. I loved that cause it's seemed more realistic and felt natural and drew me into the story more. Also the FL's wardrobe was sooooo awesome! Like I loved every piece of outfit she wore! And she rocked every outfit! Like WOW. However the wedding dress was quite surprising cause I expected a fun, warm and cheery style but the strong, bold and elegant style totally suited Mr.Sila's wife. The actors have done such a good job in this drama! And the cast and crew! I loved watched every scene, it was totally addicting, from the bold and attractive wardrobe, to the enticing music and the amazing action and chemistry on screen it was all such a delightful entertainment. Overall, this was a lovely drama was very melancholic but realistic and thought provoking while also being totally heart warming with Amazing tension with the Bad Boy-Good Girl trope! 🥸🧑🏻💍🪨❤️🔥🌸❤️🩹👩🏻🤕Was this review helpful to you?
Would've had a higher score if it didn't piss me off
Sooo, I'm usually the type of person to only leave a comment in the comments section of MDL after I finish a drama, but I actually feel the need to rant in a full-blown review so here we go...Story: So, the plot was mainly about revenge. The romance didn't really bloom till later on but it's nice to see our male lead actually have a lover and be happy amidst all of the hatred. I'm not gonna lie, this story was honestly really intense and I had a lot of moments where I had to pause the drama because I was just shocked at everything going on. It's a lot to intake. It's pretty fast-paced (a good thing) with lots of suspense/action/anticipation going on in each episode.
Ok, so, now here's the rant ok
First of all, if I could summarize my feelings after I finished the drama, it'd be: W T F
There were SO many scenes in the drama where I was just like WHY WHY WHY and honestly was just losing brain cells! There were just so many scenes where I was like 'that could have been avoided' or 'that did NOT have to happen at all'. It's as if the screenwriters were trolling me with some illogical nonsense and I just had to take it as the truth as told smh. They really out here feeding me some BS and expecting me to take it. No.
Also, killing off the characters to make things more dramatic... Some characters died so easily even though their cause of death wasn't that severe and then you have other characters that went through so much more and still remained alive like... make that make sense... Nonsense once again.
The villains were SO TWO-DIMENSIONAL so I was losing brain cells as well. I like my characters with a little bit more depth but the villains in here were just mad at the world or sum and they only have one brain cell that they share... I just can't smh.
One last thing is... this drama is NOT for sensitive people. If you are a feminist and/or feel strongly against misogyny and/or cannot tolerate insults against women regarding their body, I highly suggest you avoid this drama because they say A LOT of insulting things about women (women to women and men to women).
Acting/Cast: Literally the drama's strongest point is the acting and cast. Everyone's acting was on point. Not a single person was bad at acting. But kudos to the actor that played Tor/Sila. Sila is really complex character and this man really did go above and beyond to act as Sila. He carried the show for me. His expressions and moves were all amazing and his overall performance was superb!
Female lead is beautiful. She is soso pretty, I loveeee her smile but as for her character, I'd have to say she was a pain in the butt to watch in the beginning. The female lead was so quick to judge Sila and was resenting him based on her unconfirmed judgment lol. She annoyed me for a good chunk of the show but after they made up, her character turned decent.
The people who played the villains were great. So evil sheesh.
Music: It's decent, nothing caught my attention.
Rewatch value: Eh, not really I'm not tryna raise my blood pressure lol
Overall: I give this a solid 7.5/10
I clearly liked it because I kept watching until the end and didn't drop it but I also didn't like it because it pissed me off.
Bottom line is...
I would only recommend this for the acting, eye candy, and action, plus you get the satisfaction of Tor ruining Sida and Ae.
BUT if you're a person who loves logical shows and like complex characters, this is a solid PASS because you'll just end up confused, upset, and annoyed.

Great, but there’s 1 thing that could be better
This story and plot is really amazing. And the slow burn love turn it really was amazing. It had some wtf moments and some why moments that we all needed. I just wished they had better special effects. Especially when dealing with the shootouts and explosions. The actors did a impeccable job getting into their character and maintaining it. They had great emotions. The only thing that needed help was the effects, if it was better then That would have been the chefs kiss. OVERALL I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. JUST FINISH ITWas this review helpful to you?
It's an one man show --- TOR / SILA
Watching this show in June 2022, which is like 3 years after the release of this show and this is my 2nd Thai drama. I was heavily impressed with F4 Thailand so wanted to give one more Thai drama a go and stumbled upon this and there were just praises for this drama in the review and comments section. So gave it a go....I have seen my fair share of korean and chinese dramas and i am neither a korean or chinese native but i thoroughly enjoy watching these shows. I binged this drama and for the most part of it i am satisfied with the drama.
STORY: Story is nothing new, a son who wants to avenge his and his mom's death. Though he survives but he wants to avenge against the people who made his childhood a hell.
The story actually very smartly justifies why a revenge is needed because the bad people are very strong / Powerful / fully loaded so even law cannot do anything to them. In the 1st episode itself they show how these evil people kill someone and nobody does anything despite giving a police complaint. All the CCTV footages will be gone, evidences will be gone which is why Tor/Sila decides to go his own way to take revenge and teach them a lesson. I actually support Tor in this as someone has to teach them a lesson rather than leaving everything on karma. They should taste their medicine or else evil people will never know how bitter the taste is. I know in all this Tor's aunt dies , though she is my favorite character but she dies due to her own foolishness. The silly mistakes she did and left a trail behind which led her to get caught for having an affair with Sida's sister's husband. So i don't blame Sila or his plan for this.
ACTORS: Like i mentioned in the headline that this is a one man show ---- TOR /SILA. This man whose actual name is also Tor oozes charizma. He was born to do this role. Whenever he is on screen , you just want to just stare at his face. Apart from being good looking, he is a brilliant actor too. He totally lived and breathed SILA. You can just see that fire in his eyes whenever he encountered these evil people. Actually i almost dropped this drama because of the brainless FL but this guy just pulled me back again until i finished the show.
Now coming to the other lead, our Female lead MIN-------My god!!! from where do i start. I Have never seen such a brainless, such an underwritten FL ever. I thought chinese dramas have the most brainless, annoying FLs ever. But this female MIN just takes away the trophy by a huge margin. Her character doesn't add anything to the story, nor there is an importance to her character. I so badly wanted to forward her scenes but most of her scenes were with SILA so i couldn't. She is extremely JUDGMENTAL, extremely PREJUDICED , extremely ANNOYING, extremely IRRITATING. My vocabulary is limited so i don't know if there is any other word which is the heighted version of EXTREME then i would use that. She started judging SILA from the get go, her reasoning were not backed by any proof nor data , its just what she believed because SILA owned a nightclub so she thought he is nothing but a filthy/bad person. Whenever she met SILA, she insulted him saying he is a bad person because his money is earned through a nightclub or by women selling their bodies. For this reason atleast i didn't hate KWAN so much because she never judged SILA because of his profession, not even once. So whenever she physically hit MIN , i didn't even feel an ounce of pity for her, infact i was happy because i thought atleast someone is teaching her a lesson. I think the original intention behind MIN's character is someone who is extreely good, who selflessly works for her family etc but none of that came across because of her judgmental character towards the ML. MIN's character didn't see any development till the end, i don't even know why they needed her character. Even if you remove her character still the story will flow without any hindrance as she added nothing to the story. All she did was Stalk and Harass SILA. She was behind him like a leech, who continuously looked for him and all the time same dialogues. She had only 4-5 dialogues in the entire show. " Your are Tor", "Stay away from KWAN", "Tor is dead to me", "I hate you" and in the later part of the drama "Tor don't take revenge""It's all in the past". In ep 19, for 10 -15 mins she just said P'Tor, P'Tor, P'Tor.......Writer just recycled these dialogues for her in every episode and i am not joking. Whoever is going to watch, if you are just curious then just randomly open any episode and just watch her scenes with SILA, you will understand. In one episode she will tell TOR is dead to me and in the very next episode she will go find SILA and just repeat those dialogues again. Not once SILA looked for her , infact every time she met him, she just jumped on him to remove his shirt to either see the ring or the scar. She kept meddling in ML's business with no results and kept doing it , i don't know for what reason...at one point i thought she is just finding reasons to go see SILA... In one of the episodes she just goes into men's changing room and takes picture of ML changing his clothes. I see it as molestation. Whatever might be the reason but she just takes many pictures of ML changing his clothes. What if he had done the same, took her pictures when she was changing her clothes then would she have accepted. And on the contrary she kept calling SILA a bad person who doesn't respect women...i was like "woman you were the one who took almost naked pictures of him". She kept harassing SILA in every episode and same dialogues everytime. In ep 20, her sister insults her when she sees that SILA is alive and her sister Min is going out with SILA, then Min will be like "I am used to used stuff, and i happy that he loves me" that was her dialogue to defend her man and her relationship....slow claps to the writer...In another episode, she goes to ML's house to tell him to stay away from her sister, then ML will be like its none of your business so just get out of my house but she keeps following him and keeps repeating the same dialogue and they eventually fall into the pool....then she hits him and he kisses her and she was be like i hate you and the same thing repeats in the next episodes. Makers should have just edited her scenes because i felt super repetitive. I think she was just there for the slap and kiss part, i mean i don't even see that as a kiss, its just keeping his lips on hers..that's it. He could have done the same with a wall or a door...nothing would have changed....anyway i can go on and on about her.....but will stop here...lol..
Other character's did justify their roles like SIDA who was a plain 1 dimensional villain and she excelled in that role. All other character's were good too except for MIN ...lol
LOGICAL VALUE: Lol.....I understood in the very 1st episode itself that i should switch off my brain while i am watching this....FL lives in a huge mansion with servents but she and her family is apparently poor. I was like if that is the definition of poor then i am penniless homeless lol...I don't know how it works in Thailand but if a bomb is related then it is considered as a terrorist activity and looks like anybody can get and plant a bomb, lol...also even if a major shareholder dies, it doesn't mean his stocks becomes invalid.....logic and this drama doesn't go hand in hand.....I was like ok if i question everything then i might probably won't go past ep 1, so i started accepting whatever they tried to show but in few scenes even my sleeping brain was like give me a break,,.....how is this even possible or even happening...
So......bottomline is
If you have really high tolerance then only take up this project....it can be either for logic or FL......i am not joking, MIN will get on to your nervous. In few episodes even TOR won't be able to save the scene because of her....
