High Expectations but Felt Flat
I was so excited for this drama. I re-watched the trailer everyday before it came out because I was obsessed with the song, the scenes and the potential romance hinted in the plot summary. Unfortunately, after 5 episodes, I could not continue with the drama anymore.STORY - It has the kind of premise I enjoy. There has only been two Thai dramas I've managed to finish and both dramas have a ML that hate the FL in the beginning but then when he gets to know her, he falls in love with her. Here's the difference between the two, ML in this drama HATES and is MEAN to FL for no reason? I mean I like a little testy ML but this was just hard to believe. In the other dramas, the ML had a really good reason to be angry but in here it just seems like he doesn't know what he has for granted. The plot involving the mistress was dark and I hope she got a good ending. Also I need to mention the weird hacking arc. It was supposed to be cool but my friend and I both found it lacklustre and cringe. We had second-hand embarrassment watching those scenes. Keep in mind this was only the first 5 episodes. Maybe it gets better later on but I don't even want to know if it does after what I saw.
CAST - Mark is of course great at acting, especially in these kind of roles. When I first had thoughts of how terrible this drama was, I thought maybe it was because Mark was playing a character I already saw him play and coupled with a bad plot it just couldn't keep up with my expectations. But then I watched a newer drama he was in with a similar character and boy that has become one of my favourite Thai dramas ever, so no, I don't think it was him. This is my first drama for Mew and I sadly have to say I am disappointed in her acting. Maybe it's the character she's playing but she just seems so bland. She was really good at the crying scenes but everything else felt awkward a bit. Also why would a writer make the FL such a pushover? They should be strong so they can fight the bully that is the ML. I was so fed up with her being basically a door mat and slave for him. Supporting leads felt unnecessary with no interesting additions. Perhaps I've spoilt myself with good supporting leads but this just wasn't it. I've seen some of the actors in other dramas so I know they can act, it's just this one has mediocre (bad?) writing. I want to mention Yada (I think that's the character's name). She's the mistress / lady Mark's character was seeing in the beginning. Was expecting to hate her but her acting stood out to me. She had a meaningful side story but I wasn't in the mood for that kind of story. I really do hope she got a good ending.
MUSIC / EDITING - Probably the best thing about this drama. Yesterday, the iconic song sung by Mark during the school assembly was stuck in my head for weeks. It was also the song that played in the trailer. Probably the best thing I took away from this drama was that beautiful song. I don't remember the other songs but I do remember the unnecessarily loud AF music that played inappropriately at every potentially "interesting" scene. Like at the wedding, why the heck would they play that drama soundtrack / effect and make it all serious as if a dead person just came back to life? I almost spluttered at the sheer absurdity of those scenes. The editing was also all over the place. A lot of weird cuts.
REWATCH VALUE - Considering I couldn't even bring myself to finish it, I don't think I ever will. I watched this back when it was released and until now I still remember how disappointed I was with the drama. I am now also hesitant to watch anything with Mew in it. This has shown me that even if the plot of a drama sounds like my cup of tea, it probably isn't. Good dramas are always hard to come by it seems.

Why I dropped this lakorn? The editing could of been better, people say they have chemistry but honesty I don't see it. I also watched a sub clip on IG where Mark and Mew talk about how Anne had them take a workshop to work on their chemistry. The storyline, I'm not sure how I feel about it, when I read the synopsis I was waiting and was very excited for it but I think it's because the storyline didn't really deliver well enough.
People kept saying that Thien was always hurting Moei but at that time he didn't really realized he had love for her yet. So to see Moei put herself in situations where she kind of know how it's going to end up like, make it more annoying then feeling sorry for her.
Don't get me wrong, if I see mini sub clip on IG I would watch it but only the important part. I couldn't really bring myself to like it and no it's not because I'm not a big fan of these two, I would drop any lakorn even if I am a die hard fan.
Overall in my personal opinion I feel like fans of Mark and Mew probably overhyped this lakorn. I would rate this as mediocre lakorn.

Toxic, unhealthy relationship
Honestly I think the lead girl had Stockholm syndrome, because the lead guy constantly bullied her, humiliated her, forced her to do things against her will, even made her to move to a different country.This is not sexy, this relathinship is toxic, and I don't care how great the chemistry, or how hot looking Mark Prin Suparat is.
I dropped this after 10 episodes, and I never drop anything.
It has been months since I stopped watching this series, and I am still annoyed, because that poor girl never stood a chance, not once was appreciated or treated well in this series by the person who supposedly loved her.

Too much hype
Other than the great acting by gorgeous Mark Prin, and good unexpected plot twists, this drama was just okay.I disliked the actions of the FL from start to end (although her acting was good.) By mid series, I started skipping the scenes with Kang (Jieb Lalana Kongtoranin) and the other woman with glasses, which bored me to death. As to production quality, I know Thai dramas don't have the same budgets than K-, C-, J-dramas, but this one could have had better editing and technical transitions of flashbacks. However, I may rewatch in the future to enjoy the Mark Prin's scenes :)

A big NO
I know many people like this but I can't watch 1 episode untill the end.All the same story: a female leader naive, ugly dukking but never become a swan, even idiot with that smile in her face. Don't know the name of the actress but an if I saw her in another dramas , so is not a YAYA because I don't remember her.
And of course the FL has a bunch of friends that are so idiot like her, in special the females always screaming and acting childish even in the work place.
Mark Supparat the ML is handsome and from the few I see is great in his role, and of course in the end he falls in love with the naive/idiot girl and even has a baby.

The disaster of the cast
Nut Devahastin as a wife-beater? Great, just great. I've been complaining about the kind of roles he's been getting for quite some time. Thought it couldn't be any worse!Then there's Koy Rachwin, despite the age still more beautiful than Mew Nittha. Her romance line with Prin Suparat's character starts intriguing, if he really loved her and kept fighting for her, it would probably make a better watch.
But no, we are to have the childish-bickering kind of main couple, here. They get married, but we continue watching the other woman with abusing husband, still. I wasn't interested in that WITHOUT Prin Suparat's character involved. And Mew Nittha annoyed me...
Dropped by episode 2. Koy Rachwin is CHARMING. Even Prin Suparat can be cool. But it's THEIR age-gap romance which would be worth watching, here. Not the ugly-duckling/sibling-like/annoying-to-death-bickering/cohabitation couple one. Pitty.

Un excellent lakorn romantique
Annoncé comme un lakorn dans la lignée de "My mischievous fiancee (mae krua kon mai)", mais en fait très différent.Un playboy est obligé d'épouser la ML "don du ciel" qui habite chez sa mère depuis plusieurs années, pour échapper à 1 harceleuse, mariée à 1 caïd mafieux. La relation difficile surtout quand ils commencent à travailler ensemble (architecte / construction).
Le casting est excellent, y compris pour les personnages secondaires.
Le ML est handsome, arrogant et insupportable à souhait. La FL est très convaincante dans son amour invincible, mais on souffre vraiment pour elle pendant la majeure partie du drama.
Les OST sont de très bonne qualité et donnent le ton du drama.
La romance devient ensuite really sweet, ce qui met un peu de baume au coeur.
Pour finir, j'ai vraiment apprécié le dernier arc narratif sur la maladie de la FL, la façon (réaliste, pour une fois) dont le ML l'accompagne, s'angoisse... Ce thème de la maladie est abordé avec beaucoup d'authenticité et de finesse.
Heureusement, cela se conclue par une happy end très satisfaisante et détaillée.
Lakorn fortement conseillé !!

Decepcionada
Comecei a assistir porque vi muitas críticas boas e então me arrependi.A garota não tem amor próprio nenhum, boba, pegajosa, irritante, sem sal.
Fora que deram um toque de comédia que não deu certo, muita bobeira junta. Nos últimos episódios tive que assistir passando.
Nossa, como isso foi uma perda de tempo!!
A única coisa boa foi o ator principal.

Un drama que j'ai fui sans remord!
Après F4 Thailand qui a été un gros coup de coeur, j'ai tenté de me lancer dans d'autres drama thailandais (lankor), comme "let's fight ghost" que j'ai aussi finalement abandonné.Le drama avait plutôt bien commencé et bien que je ne sois pas une accro du thème mariage arrangé/forcé/signé, le caractère enjoué de Muey et son amour profond pour Tian était agréable à voir. Bien que le couple soit classique, un personnage féminin totalement amoureuse face à un héros à l'attitude arrogante et frivole, l'alchimie entre ces deux-là fut un délicieux mélange de sensualité et d'humour. Les regards énamourés de Muey et l'agacement troublé de Tien donnaient des papillons prometteurs.
Mais je vais être honnête, très vite les petits détails qui me semblaient un peu gênants sont devenus insupportables, et le scénario qui au départ semblait léger et frais est devenu ennuyeux et d'une absurdité inutile.
1- Si le couple me paraissait adorable, c'est devenu après l'épisode 3 le type de duo que j'horripile le plus. Des malentendus stupides, une relation qui s'étouffe, voire malsaine (aller jusqu'à attacher la protagoniste sur le lit, hum....).
Peu de confiance entre eux, peu de compréhension logique dans leur prise de position.
La transformation de Muey est ridicule, nous la faisant passant soudainement en une hacker de génie... soit, cela peut à la rigueur passer, pourquoi pas. Mais pourquoi grand Dieu? Où cette histoire de hacking a-t-elle son utilité, voire même cela a-t-elle un sens, un intérêt ? Cautionner le vol de la propriété intellectuelle et des données ne semblent pas leur poser de problème....La raison de cela est d'une stupidité sans nom....Imaginons en effet que l'être humain soit assez stupide pour faire cela, peut-on raisonnablement infliger cela à la personne que l'on aime par-dessus tout? Pour sauver son équipe rachetée et qui apporte un déficit certain? Sérieusement? SANS REMORD? Avec un chantage amoureux honteux plus proche d'une groupie tourmentée que d'une femme sincèrement amoureuse.
Bref, j'ai commencé à décrocher à partir de là... Et puis, il faut avouer que les bras m'en tombent lorsque tous semblent penser que ce que fait Muey n'est pas si grave que cela puisque c'est par amour...mouais.
2- Si Yada est horrible (aussi bien physiquement que psychologiquement), il y a une chose que je ne peux accepter, ni cautionner, ni comprendre.... Cela ne semble déranger personne qu'elle puisse se faire frapper par son mari comme bon lui chante... Les scène d'injures, de viol et de violences conjugales sont difficiles car PERSONNE ne semble être touchée par cette situation. Ni le père, ni le protagoniste qui n'hésite pas à l'utiliser sans aucune honte, faisant passer par la même occasion la jeune femme par des moments difficiles avec son mari...
Inutile de venir me clamer que son mari l'aime blabla, l'amour ne donne pas le droit de frapper, de violer et d'injurier de la sorte. Même si la femme est une mégère absolue....
3- Encore une situation qui me laisse sans voix. La mère de Tien forçant son enfant à se marier et à rester marier. Elle a beau penser que cette situation est la meilleure des choses, il y a ce qu'on appelle RESPECTER le choix de son enfant. S'il veut ou s'il ne veut pas n'est pas de notre ressort! Ici, personne ne trouve à redire que Tien se retrouve engagé avec une femme qu'il ne veut pas aimer. Il finira bien par admettre son amour pour elle, la morale est-elle pour autant sauve? Hé bien...non. La fin ne justifie pas les moyens. Pas en amour.
4- Je n'ai rien contre les leads arrogants, froids et un brin machos, il ne m'est rien de plus plaisant que de voir un mâle alpha totalement in love et abdiquant sans aucun regret face à l'aimée. Mais alors ici, Tien est non seulement comme décrit ci-dessus, mais aussi un peu plus que cela. Ordonner à Muey d'aller nettoyer et de faire à manger et la réprimander sans cesse... j'ai un peu de mal. Alors oui, son affection envers elle est plutôt flagrante, mais son attitude dominateur est too much pour moi.
C'est vraiment dommage, je pense que le drama avait un bon potentiel...
