I know - this is a young cast, I am surprised that someone would already have anti-fans :(
It would be nice if others were reasonable like you. It is too bad that some are so quick to judge and, even worse, give a bad rating just based on only a few episodes. For this drama, it irks me that they base their modern expectations on a historical drama and then complain when the characters are terrible even though their behavior matches what one would expect from that era.
Finally, we hear the words, "I'm doomed." :D I'm just starting ep 7 and I like watching the FL's growing awareness of the ML, reminding me of how I felt about my crushes. Just the desire to have physical contact, the side glances, wanting to spend more time...ah, it's good to be reminded of those heart-fluttering moments.
So far so good. The show is staying true to the spirit of the Korean original but brought its own Thai flair. I like its adaptation of certain scenes but also wish it kept some of the original scenes because they were memorable. There’s something different about this lakorn compared to others I’ve watched. Not sure if it’s the camera work or lighting but there is a very contemporary feel to it. Feels higher budget too. I love the casting of Jess and Bua - they feel just right for their characters. They look good together too and I cannot wait to see things heat up between them!
Yes, it's annoying that Kang Ning won't even tell him the truth about how his mother is treating her family. I…
At least it is only ep 6 so we have 30 more episodes to either see them get better together or become more entangled in a mess that will only clear up towards the end. I am hoping for the former :)
Okay I have watched until ep 6 on Netflix. I sti like the show and the quality of the production. I feel bad for…
I think they use the cousin as comic relief, more like a satirical portrayal of a misogynistic husband who ultimately ends up at his wife's mercy. Just like his other attempts in the past, this recent scenario was the same. I am okay with him because he truly loves his wife.
She clearly thought about what to say to her soul mate when she finally finds him :)
They also need to communicate. Chai An was right to be upset about her not trusting him. He can handle his mother just fine but she made the decision for him without talking to him or explaining to him.
I was just thinking, Chai An likes Kang Ning and she also likes him back after ep 5, will their relationship be…
Yes, it's annoying that Kang Ning won't even tell him the truth about how his mother is treating her family. I was hoping for this couple to have strong communication at least.
i havent watched ep 5 yet but i saw someone commenting that they didnt like "the way chai an plotted and delayed…
Yes, that was true, and I was disappointed. That's when I reminded myself that it is a historical drama. Plus, I think they use the cousin as comic relief, more like a satirical portrayal of a misogynistic husband who ends up at the mercy of his wife ultimately. Just like his other attempts in the past, this recent scenario was the same.
As I responded to @TianD, Chai An's character development was focused on himself so far and had not extended to influencing his cousin yet. He does indulge his cousin but at least at the same time, he also constantly scolds and warns his cousin not to mess around with other women.
It's only ep 6 so 30 more episodes to see how Chai An will continue to progress.
Concerning Chai An as a businessman, I don't see why he should have to yield or go easy on them because they are…
Those are my thoughts too. Chai An certainly has his flaws but being a good businessman is not one of them, and like you said, he only meant to trick her, and was never really mean.
It was not quite a developement because same time he encourged and taught his cousin to let his wife suffer for…
That I agree. Chai An's development was focused on himself because I am sure he will be a wonderful partner to Kang Ning. I would love to see his change also influence his cousin.
Like others, I was annoyed by the male characters' attempts to "control" their wives or partners. I have to remind myself that this show is set in a historical period, and the social expectations of women were different then. In almost every historical drama, I get frustrated watching the old-fashioned, misogynistic, and unfair views of the characters. The good thing about this show is how the male characters do not often get away with terrible behavior. The bumbling husband of Fuhui, for example, has never been successful in trying to oppress his wife.
To be honest, Chai An was not that bad. He started off as a typical businessman protecting his business. Yes, I supposed he could be kinder and give up some of his profits to help a family of women, but why should he? Still, it's nice to see his character development starting with ep 5. He's willing to admit his mistakes, and while he is still proud, he is also straightforward and sincere. His confession to Kang Ning was so sweet, clearly it touched Kang Ning's heart.
I just hope that the battle between the mothers is not going to ruin our enjoyment of the couples' romances. Instead of the male characters, it's really the mothers that are the annoying ones.
I know - this is a young cast, I am surprised that someone would already have anti-fans :(
For this show, I am surprised. Usually, it is the ones with some major stars. Anyway, I am sure the ratings will be fairer once more people start watching.
Darcy initially seems stupid, remarking that he doesn't care for women whom other men slighted and refusing to…
That is Darcy's silly pride making him blind and close-minded. You're right, they made Chai An proud but he is more aware and observant. I already like him from the beginning ;D
Your pfp makes my heart flutters, Blossom and WTPR😍.💯 agreed with what you said. Our c drama, Mr Darcy.
Waiting for one or two 2025 drama couples to give me the same butterflies in the stomach feeling 😍 I've always like Wang Ying Xue - he's fitting as our prideful Darcy!
Enjoyed the first 4 episodes. I am always up for a women-centric drama and this one feels like a refreshing change from the recent ones where the focus was more on the business building. After learning so much about tea, jade, silk, pearls and peonies, it's refreshing to now watch more of the family drama.
I am excited about the cast, especially Lu Yu Xiao, Liu Xie Ning Chen He Yi and Wang Ying Xue. They may be young but they have done well in their past dramas.
With a slight variation, the family of women is very much like the one in Pride and Prejudice. I really like the interactions between Kang Ning and Chai An. Chai An is so much like Darcy, and like Darcy, he fell first. I look forward to seeing how the misunderstandings will be cleared up between them.
So far so good. I cannot wait to see the other couples forming.
