Faceless Love

i went in expecting it to be very bad but this is actually decent?
the only reason i watched this was for dew and i watched majority of this in 2x speed so i can't make a fair review on this
the first half is meh but the second half really picked it up.
they could have shown his condition more seriously. they made him a complete man child for quite a while instead of showing how he really struggles with his condition. the romance also felt a bit rushed. they could have taken some time to show them growing closer to each other. once they started dating it was fun to watch them.
a whole negative point for that makeover, she was so damn cute with her glasses and curly hair but they made her look like every other office extra. and the ad placements omg, so many of them every 5 mins, so many unnecessary scenes just to promote the same brand. if i eye rolled every time they did an ad placement my eyes would have fallen out the socket
the other plots were done well, the brother bond and the mother's finding were all done well. they even gave me a quick sip of a love triangle too. they also used an evil female character well here.
the last episode was so good, they wrapped up everything perfectly.
compared to many recent gmmtv series that i have seen, this seems well made, like a decent effort has been made (might be all the sponsorship money from the ads)

Not happening

I watched a Korean drama that I really enjoyed, which raised my expectations for this one. However, despite the storyline changes, it didn't captivate me. The lead actor, whom I usually like, seemed to deliver poor acting here, and I couldn't connect with the female lead either. Everything felt fake."
Those who haven't seen the original story might find it worth watching."
The inconsistency in the portrayal of the mother's escape storyline, especially considering her condition of having Alzheimer's but still being aware enough to conceal herself, seemed implausible and difficult to believe within the narrative

Worthwhile for Dew fans

As someone who fell in love with Dew from F4, didn't get enough of him in Magic of Zero (too short) or Home School (too little spotlight), this is what I was waiting for: Dew starring in his own romance drama.

Was initially unsure how I'd feel from reviews about weak acting or storyline. But personally, I found it delightful to watch how Dew's skills are expanding. His character retains some Ren-esque moments of gentle reassurance and wisdom, but also exhibits leadership and competence. Some might find the self-absorbed, childish traits annoying, but to me it was cute and entertaining.

As for story, I never watched the original, and didn't have rigorous expectations regarding plot, just for it to not suck. Which it didn't. The premise didn't initially pique my interest, however the series had enough variables and turns to keep it engaging. Kao is also a talented and versatile actress, always captivating to watch. Mostly, I appreciate that the conflicts didn't center on romantic rivals, exes, or love triangles, and that more time was spent on external obstacles (the couple had to confront together), rather than internal strife between the two. Which just amounts to more happy/heartwarming Dew couple moments than sad/angry ones--basically everything I wanted.

O início parece que o dorama será bem ruim, mas com o desenvolver da história você acaba se envolvendo e se apegando.
Eu li bastante as resenhas antes de iniciar porque a minha experiência anterior com um dorama tailandês não tinha sido boa, mas preciso discordar da maioria delas. Ao meu ver, a história começa ruim e não ao contrário, mas com o passar dos episódios você consegue ver a profundidade dos porquês, dos problemas e das expectativas dos protagonistas e personagens no geral.

Mas devo concordar que o perdão para tudo de ruim que a Soiphet foi muito fácil, ela deveria ter sido punida de alguma maneira, assim como a Tanya pelo vazamento dos dados dos usuários. E acho que depois de tanta dor que o Veekij passou com a tia, ele deveria ter sido um pouco mais firme, apesar dos laços familiares e da carência pela falta da mãe na infância.
Pode ser que ele perdoou tudo tão facilmente porque ele realmente agora tinha tudo que ele queria, a mãe desaparecida, descobriu os porquês e uma companheira que o ajudou em todos os momentos como a Mirin. Ou porque ele também percebeu como era a percepção dos outros perante ele, não só a família, mas a descrença dos funcionários e diretoria.
Enfim, eu achei que valeu a pena. Gostei muito da atriz Kao Supassara Thanachart, ela tinha uma intensidade no olhar e chorava com uma facilidade tremenda. O Dew Jirawat Sutivanisak atuou muito bem pensando que ele não poderia demonstrar tantas reações perante as situações pelo fato dele não enxergar as expressões nos rostos alheios.
