My Romance Scammer (2026)

Nothing exciting...

Unenthusiatically I brought this show to an end. Of course when it's GMMTV and "P'New" directing I expect nothing special, but that script pissed me off since the beginning. They made it so that "Yu" was planning on everything and it's so very unbelievable. They could have cut that out. The main point was that "North" offered money for a marriage on his whim and that would have been good enough. As it's typical with GMMTV and P'New one must play as "childish" as possible. If someone behaves like that I would say, he is not mature enough even to consider marrying anyone.

Tim & Pai had a better start, but even from episode 1 it was very obvious, that Tim already fell for Pai. So as usual the script was very superficial, the characters were not really thought out and of course we have a very strict grandpa. Then comes the marriage of Tim & Pai in the mall and of course all the woman Tim scammed are there - because no, it could have not been a closed event and everyone can come in. Cutting his grandchilds off the family fortune was predictable as it was not really interesting. Instead of letting them figure something out for themselves they had to go back to grandpa and dance to his fiddle.

Just because I'm not disappointed from a show I never expected anything from does not mean it was any good. I can't fault the actors, they did all their best, but the script really did put them into a straitjacket and there is not much wiggle room to let the actors shine. At least we see Ohm in a role were smiling is an option :) Production quality was very high and there is nothing to complain about that.

For me it was quite boring, especially the finale was nothing to write home about and generally this is not a show you need to see. It's not even entertaining most of the time.

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.
