First impression: A high-quality entertainment that is both fun and emotionally engaging
GMMTV’s new bet, My Romance Scammer, arrives on screen with a premise that blends the luxury of billionaire dynasties with the sharp tension of romantic fraud. The series wastes no time on slow introductions: in the very first episode, viewers are thrown into a whirlwind where marriage proposals and life plans unfold at the speed of a click. This fast-paced storytelling is undoubtedly the show’s greatest strength at the start. By skipping the traditional stages of courtship, the script focuses on what truly matters: the complex duality between the cold calculation of the scam and the genuine vulnerability that begins to surface in Tim and Yu. The production is polished and visually stunning, showcasing a modern Thailand with elegant costumes that reinforce the aura of power surrounding cousins North and Pai.The cast’s chemistry is the pillar that sustains the tone of the series. Junior and Mark, as Tim and Pai, display remarkable emotional maturity, delivering a connection that overflows in glances heavy with intention. It is impossible not to feel the weight of the impending betrayal as Pai fully surrenders to a love built on lies. Meanwhile, the newer pairing, Ohm and Poon as Yu and North, brings much-needed comic relief and lightness, with a more clumsy yet charming dynamic that balances the intensity of the main storyline. One of the highlights is the natural way the show presents its world, addressing themes such as marriage equality in an organic manner, seamlessly woven into a broader context of power struggles and moral dilemmas.
Despite its explosive beginning, the series walks a fine line. The overly polished aesthetic, where everyone looks ready for a fashion editorial even upon waking, risks feeling artificial and slightly undermines the rawness that a story about deception could explore more deeply. The rapid pacing also raises concerns about whether the narrative can maintain its momentum in the coming episodes, a common challenge for productions that start at full throttle. Still, what we have so far is high-quality entertainment that is both fun and emotionally engaging. My Romance Scammer promises to be that addictive journey where the audience, fully aware of the lies, willingly chooses to be deceived alongside the protagonists just to watch love triumph over the scam.

Episode 4 – When the Scam Gets Legal
The exposure begins.What looked like a perfect plan suddenly starts collapsing when Yoo’s fake background is traced back to its source. The tension escalates quickly, especially with Pai being far more analytical and difficult to manipulate than North.
The legal confrontation between Pai’s lawyer and Tim’s fake attorney adds a playful yet sharp dynamic to the episode. Interestingly, the marriage between North and Yoo was originally initiated by North himself, which complicates any attempt to label Yoo as a fraud legally.
This episode cleverly contrasts two dynamics:
The wealthy heirs who struggle to recognize their true feelings.
The so-called scammers who are slowly realizing that what they feel might be real love.
While North confines Yoo “for safety,” it ironically becomes the perfect setting for emotional reconnection.
Meanwhile, Tim pretends to accept Pai’s cautious decision about marriage — but his desperation is clearly visible.
The real question now isn’t whether the scam will be exposed.
It’s who will admit their love first.

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.

Here we go again....
Unfortunately this series also follows the same line of most GMM shows. I wanted it to be good, the story had potential. It's like one of those early 2000 romcoms, light-hearted, unhealthy but charming.Everything is super unrealistic, it borders on annoying. Everyone looks like they are about to go to a photoshoot, even while sleeping. Too polished and artificial. It's like looking pretty is the primary objective. I think there is a fatigue of these kinds of shows. There is a need for something raw & grounded.
The leads have chemistry & it's entertaining, that's about it. A light-hearted watch, yes but I wish there were more compelling stories & performances.

Hooked on The Scammers
The moment I saw Junior and Mark as leads, I knew this was gonna be good in all aspects because they CARRIED in Perfect 10 Liners. They are such natural and talented actors. I also love that we now have the new ship OhmPoon, a random and unexpected pair that formed after Poon Mitpakdee replaced Fluke Jeeratch. As much as they are visually appealing, let's just protect them at all costs.Moving on to My Romance Scammer, a series about two con artists, U and Tim, falling in love with cousins North and Pai from a billionaire family. The first episode was great; I hope it sets the epitome for the remaining episodes to follow.
However, as much as I enjoyed this premiere, I'm worried about the director, New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul. He's known for works like Perfect 10 Liners and Head 2 Head, and usually, when a series reaches the halfway mark, his direction tends to lose steam. Whether it's pacing issues or repetitive tropes, many fans feel his shows often start strong but struggle to maintain that same energy. I truly hope he improves on this one and has learned from past mistakes so that the chemistry of JuniorMark and OhmPoon isn't wasted on a dragging plot.

Well paced and Fluffy n cute first EP
The first EP is really well paced. The post production, editing, lighting, locations and light schemes is really good. (Didn't seem like New Siwaj show at first, no hate to him he is really good director and many of my fav series are directed by him it's just editing and lighting seemed different than his other shows). Whoever has done the Costume hats off. Specifically Pai's costume....omg he looks so pretty elegant and handsome at the same time, those costumes and really brings out Mark's beauty ( bit biased here)\\\\\\\\
JuniorMark:
JuMark has amazing chemistry. Usually other shows show relationship progress in 4-5 episodes which gives CP enough time to setup pace and show that chemistry but here the relationship progression of a year was showed in merely 20 minutes and they still delivered that strong chemistry. I wanna talk about visuals here. Both Junior and Mark are serving here. Sometimes I feel like people are sleeping on Mark's beauty...he is ethereal. Coming back to their storyline their dating era was so fluffy and then that proposal but I low-key couldn't enjoy it fullest knowing Tim is scammer o.w. the part where Pai discussed about having kids or the moment Pai realizes oh I wanna marry this man and I want to have a family with him is so beautiful, you can see the how much he loves Tim in Pai's eyes but for Tim it's all scam and that broke my heart. I liked how they showed Tim slowly made Pai fall for him like how usually scammers scam they'll learn your habits and then make themselves as a part of your everyday life. I'm interested in Tim's side of story like why he chose Pai as target. Even though it felt like relationship progressed bit fast, I guess it's a necessity of the plot cause for TimPai the main focus will be divorce and redemption part as their relationship shows mature nature as compared to YuNorth. I'm ready for the angst (internally screaming cause I can't see my Pai crying)PS: I loved their NC scenes, wasn't expecting to get served in first EP🙈
\\\\\\\
Ohmpoon:I really liked their dynamics. I wasn't expecting North to be this dumb honestly. At least Pai dated for year but North went and gave himself to the scammer based on their one night interaction (I was confused like bro atp who is exactly scammer here but I loved that goofy proposal). Ohm did really good job. I've never seen him in such roll before but I'm enjoying it. As for North I feel this character is made for Poon. I would like to see how their relationship progressess but I think there will be less angst as compared to TimPai. Visuals are again amazing. Like to see the journey of this goofy CP.Overall the first ep was perfect package.
\\\
Apart from CP, I would like to see how Pai and North's relationship as brothers progresses. I really loved them as brothers. I'm looking forward to next Sunday. I hope they keep the same pace throughout the show (I hope they don't do the same thing they did to h2h) . So whoever hasn't watched it please go watch it you won't be disappointed. Both CPS are amazing. You'll enjoy it.

This drama is worth getting into.
JuniorMark’s acting skills go without saying — they’re both excellent. Whether it’s their facial expressions or the emotions conveyed through their eyes, everything feels very natural. The pacing of the plot is tight, with not a single unnecessary scene. The soundtrack, OST, costumes, and styling are all flawless.Was this review helpful to you?

Que delicinha
Apesar de ainda estar em lançamento, quero já deixar parte do que achei até o EP 3 registrado.Eu estou amando com todas as letras! Já me diverti muito até agora, está muito fofo e engraçado, isso até a tempestade chegar, porque sabemos que vai chegar.
Gosto quando a história começa com o casal praticamente junto. Não tem muitas obras que seguem essa narrativa. Acho que é mais arriscado, pois as pessoas podem não ter tido tempo para sentir o desenvolvimento do casal e criar apego por eles. Inclusive, já ouvi gente dizendo que só no primeiro episódio parece que já passou a história inteira de um BL mais tradicional.
Mas eu não ligo, eu gosto desse tipo de narrativa.
Estou amando o Tim e o Pai. Gosto muito dos JuniorMark, então isso pode ter contribuído. Eles são muito fofos. E os pequenos detalhes são tudo, como o Pai se incomodar quando as pessoas entram no escritório dele sem bater, e que até mesmo o avô (dono de tudo) bate na porta. E quando o Tim faz, o Pai fala que ele não precisa 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Além disso, por mais que o Tim esteja agindo estranho de forma um pouco óbvia, porque percebeu que está se apaixonando, dá para ver que o Pai confia plenamente nele. E a quebra de confiança vai doer para um c4r4lh0. Já estou preparando meus lencinhos.
Agora, os OhmPoon e seus personagens, Yu e North, não me conquistaram logo de cara. Mas agora, no episódio 3, já estou bem mais envolvida com eles. Eles são fofos também, à sua maneira.
Ri quando falaram para o Tim que o Pai deve gostar dos red flags KKK.
E é extremamente fofo como o Tim notou que o Pai também gosta do traço da personalidade que ele tenta esconder, ou seja, o Pai também gosta dele como ele é, sem filtros.
Não estou achando, de forma alguma, que a história está rápida demais nem nada do tipo. Os desenvolvimentos estão graduais para o lado dos golpistas, já que são mais os sentimentos deles que estão em jogo nesse golpe todo, apesar de parecer o contrário.
Já estou sentindo a ansiedade e o medo do que está por vir. Todo mundo sabe que a casa vai cair em algum momento quando descobrirem.
Mas posso dizer que está sendo o meu BL (tailandês) favorito entre os que estou acompanhando.
Do que vi até agora, vou colocar em ordem os que estou curtindo mais, porque sim:
1. My Romance Scammer
2. Yesterday
3. Duang With You
4. Dare You to Death
5. Cat for Cash
Nada impede que a lista mude conforme os episódios vão passando, mas é assim que estou me sentindo agora.
