First impression: a high-quality entertainment that is both fun and emotionally engaging
The premiere episodes of My Romance Scammer make the show’s intentions clear from the very beginning: to tell a romance built on lies, but with a tone that feels light, playful, and fully aware of its own style. The premise alone is enough to spark interest: two scammers become romantically involved with heirs of a powerful billionaire family. The story wastes no time stretching out the introduction. Instead, it starts with energy, jumping straight into the central conflict and creating a dynamic opening that immediately draws the viewer in.One of the biggest strengths of these early episodes is the pacing. Rather than following the more traditional structure of romance dramas, which often spend several episodes building the relationship, the series moves quickly through these stages. In a short amount of time we see meetings, shared routines, and even major relationship decisions. At first this speed might feel a bit exaggerated, but within the logic of the story it makes sense. When a scam is unfolding, the romance also needs to move quickly enough to feel convincing to the person being deceived. This narrative choice shifts the focus to something more compelling: the moment when a carefully calculated plan begins to collide with feelings that may never have been part of the strategy.
The cast also plays a key role in making this opening work. The chemistry between the leads is evident and helps make the relationships believable, even when they are built on manipulation and secrets. The interactions between the couples move naturally between humor, tension, and tenderness, creating an emotional rhythm that keeps the episodes enjoyable to watch. While one storyline leans more heavily into drama and emotional intensity, the other brings a lighter and slightly awkward energy, helping balance the overall tone of the series.
From a technical standpoint, the production also stands out for its visual care. The series features elegant settings, well-designed costumes, and cinematography that reinforces the atmosphere of wealth and status surrounding the characters. At times, however, this polished aesthetic can feel a little too perfect, creating a slight sense of artificiality for a story centered on deception and manipulation. Even so, the refined visual style makes the series engaging to watch and strengthens its entertainment appeal.
Despite a few exaggerated situations and some narrative choices that require a bit of suspension of disbelief, the premiere of My Romance Scammer works very well as an introduction to the story. The opening episodes manage to balance romance, humor, and tension effectively, creating a narrative that is easy to follow and difficult to stop watching. The result is an engaging start that sparks curiosity not only about the characters’ feelings, but also about the inevitable moment when all the lies finally come to light.

Someone stop me… I’ll spend everything on this show!!!
Guys, are they scamming each other or us? Because I couldn’t find a single moment where Tim wasn’t in love with Pai. It’s not bad acting or anything… it’s pure love that bloomed right from the start.So “My Romance Scammer” is officially my comfort show from now on.
What can I even say… that cute way Pai calls “Teerak” every time—our little Tim just melts, and honestly, so do I.
The dialogues are everything… too precious to forget.
Like when Pai said he needed some alone time because he was sad, and Tim replied,
“There’s no way I’ll let that happen… come here.”
That scene is living in my heart rent-free.
And when Pai left everything for Tim and said, “I’d lose everything, but I’ll still have you”… I swear, I’m going to die from their sweetness.
I just can’t express how deeply they love each other. How could our Tim ever betray our cutie when his heart beats like a drum even in the smallest moments?
The story is exactly the same as you see in the teaser, nothing more, except that one of the actors has been replaced.
And our so-called comedian actor? He is now officially a sexy, hot, and charming romantic lead.
Girl, you NEED to see that hairstyle of our junior. Sir, please give me one chance—if mark ignores you, I’ll bring you heaven myself.
And it’s better if we don’t even talk about Mark… he’s literally the sexiest and kindest person in the whole show—like all-in-one. My Pookie. Even if I were in a life-or-death situation, I’d never betray him.
Then, Ohm and Poon—our controversial couple—I honestly didn’t find the change to be a problem. In fact, I loved the pairing. Poon is literally the only one on earth who can play North—fight me if you think I’m wrong.
Ohm, my ex dream partner… I’m glad he’s doing well. Funny roles suit him too, but I’m still stuck in UWMA (okay, I’ll stop there).
The songs are amazing, and the story is so cute. There’s really nothing bad about this series—it’s just pure, fun romance.
Okay fine… there is one problem.
These characters don’t exist in real life. They’re just here to make us delusional again. We should seriously ask P’Tha to ban shows like this… it’s too much for our hearts.
For me, it’s a 10/10.

Love, Lies, and Luxury: A Perfectly Addictive Start
Ohm returns as Yu, a charming scammer, and the role suits him well. Pairing him with newcomer Poon as North turns out to be a strong move, with chemistry that feels natural and engaging.The premise pulls you in right away. Cousins North and Pai, heirs to a billionaire empire, both becoming victims of romance scams sounds dramatic, but the show treats it with just the right balance of tension and fun. I really loved that the story is set in modern day Thailand where same sex marriage is legal and completely normalized. It adds warmth and realism instead of making it a big dramatic point.
Seeing Junior as Tim and Mark as Pat again made me so happy. Perfect 10 Liners fans, we are being fed. Junior plays Tim as a flawless scammer, smooth and calculated, and he owns every scene he is in. The pacing of episode one is wild in the best way. Tim and Pai date, move in together, talk about kids, and get engaged within the first twenty minutes. Faster than my dinner and I was laughing and shocked at the same time. I know it is a scam but I am absolutely locked in.
Visually, the show is beautiful. The office spaces look sleek, the rich house set screams money, and the forest scenery is stunning. I loved the parallel of both couples falling into the water during their first meeting. It felt playful and symbolic without being cheesy. The music fits perfectly, the acting is strong across the board, and the chemistry between all the leads is convincing.
First few episodes was pure fun, fast paced, dramatic, and addictive. If this is just the beginning, my Sundays for the next two and a half months are going to be a blast. I cannot wait to see how love built on lies starts to crack.

Junior Mark ate as usual
I honestly don't get why so many people dislike this series. My Romance Scammer has been like a breath of fresh air for me. Junior Mark have done a phenomenal job and especially Mark, I just love him as Pai. P10L made Junior Mark a memorable duo and I love that MRS does the same. Junior absolutely slays the chaotic, funny character in both the series and Mark being the stoic, stren one in My Romance Scammer is great. Honestly can't see anyone else playing the role of Pai as good as Mark. Also, can't forget to mention Ohmpoon. Their story was chaotic from the beginning and I loved every second of it. Definitely a must watch.Was this review helpful to you?
The story introduces serious emotional damage but treats it like a minor inconvenience
Decided to give this a shot since it has a “high rating”. There are things about this series that just didn’t work for me.The series touches on betrayal, manipulation, financial loss, and broken trust. These are deeply personal experiences that are not easily resolved. Yet instead of allowing those emotions to breathe, the story rushes past them. Conflict is introduced, but before the audience can fully process it, it is brushed off with humor or playful moment/banter. This creates a disconnect that makes the emotional stake feel shallow.
What is frustrating is that the actors actually deliver a good performances, and there are moments where the emotional tension could have landed. However, the pacing undercuts everything. Forgiveness happens too quickly, consequences feel minimal, and the narrative does not allow space for grief, anger, or reflection.
I get that it’s a rom-com, but that doesn’t mean the emotions have to feel this rushed. The humor just feels out of place sometimes, especially when it cuts into serious moments.
It had potential, but it needed to slow down and let the story breathe a bit more. The performances carried, but the writing really didn’t.

Not very inventive
The premise is interesting, no one can deny that. The problem is that you know from the start exactly what’s going to happen and how. Zero creativity, and everything is delivered in the tone of a very conventional, formulaic romantic comedy. You’d expect Pai to be less nice to Tim; and North’s immaturity eventually becomes hard to stomach. The acting is fairly decent overall, except for Ohm, who doesn’t seem to believe in what he’s doing at all.Once again, the goal is to highlight two actor pairings that will probably deliver great fan service afterward. But as for the series itself, it’s too soft, too flat, not deep enough. You end up yawning while watching their little stories that are bound to end well. I honestly wonder how I made it through 10 episodes.

this is a good job
First of all, I'm truly amazed by the beauty and dedication of Mark and Junior. They're truly great actors and deserve praise! This series has its share of exaggerated plot points and nuances, but the overall picture is truly great! I laughed a lot at moments, but there's also some drama. I really like everything about it. The main couple is so sweet, their chemistry is great. I can't really rate the music because it wasn't memorable, but I didn't have any negative feelings about it either.Was this review helpful to you?
Engaging storlyline, seasoned acting, wholesome
I did not expect this to be this funny and engaging throughout all the 7 episodes, the director do not let us get bored even the slightest, crisp editing style, screenplay is good, overall feel good show, very light weight, and every actor did great in portraying their characters . It is not a mind blowing show but definitely worth the watch. Loved every scene ! Also juniormark's chemistry is good obviously, but ohmpoon stole the show for me. waiting for the rest of the episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
When a Drama Exceeds Every Expectation: This Drama Gets Better Every Episode
I’ve been waiting for this drama for so long, and when they finally posted the trailer, I was SO excited to see Junior and Mark in the main roles together. Seeing them as Pai and Tim made me even more excited, but honestly, reading the plot also made me nervous because it’s very complicated. There are a lot of difficult scenes and emotional moments, so I knew the director had a big responsibility to make it work.But when episode 1 came out and I watched it, I was honestly amazed. Everything from the production quality to their chemistry was incredible. We already expected their chemistry to be good, but it was even better than I imagined. The funny moments also made it really enjoyable and balanced the serious parts perfectly.
Episodes 2, 3, and 4 were all amazing too, and I could talk about them for hours. But now that I’ve just finished episode 5 (and have to wait another week for episode 6 😔), I can say it’s my favorite episode so far. You can really see Tim starting to change and accepting that he’s falling for Pai, and I loved seeing that development.
I’m also nervous about what will happen next, but if the drama continues at this level, it will definitely be a 10/10 for me. Everything about it has been so well done so far. I seriously can’t wait for the next episode!!!

The acting and chemistry of the main characters, especially Junior and Mark, are very good and natural. However, unfortunately there are several kiss scenes where the shooting angles are not good. So it's less satisfying when watching love scenes. Can't wait for the next episode

One of the most underrated BLs currently airing.
My Romance Scammer is easily one of the most underrated BLs currently airing. The actors are doing an incredible job bringing these characters to life—each one with their own agenda, motivations, and internal conflicts that slowly unravel as the story progresses.What makes this show stand out is the subtlety in the performances. The actors capture the smallest emotional details beautifully. Their inner struggles are clear without ever feeling over-the-top, allowing the character growth to unfold in a very natural and believable way.
The story does a wonderful job exploring characters who are stuck in situations shaped by their past, slowly coming to terms with the possibility of a better future. What may have started as a calculated plan toward happiness begins to shift as they realize that what they thought they needed may not actually be what they want anymore.
That journey of growth is portrayed in such a thoughtful way that viewers can easily see parts of themselves reflected in the characters. Maybe not in such dramatic circumstances, but everyone has experienced working toward something they thought they needed—only to grow and realize that what they truly wanted may have been there all along.
For me, this is one of the best shows of 2026 so far, and it deserves far more attention than it’s currently getting.
