What a very mid, boring movie and SJK's sour looking face was not convincing at all. They totally changed the story in the novella and made it into a romantic movie when the novella doesn't focus on that at all. That's really sad because I've read so many North Korean defector memoirs and those people go through a lot of hardships which I thought were going to be talked about. They took the focus from those stories to focus on other issues.The novella is a great slice of life story that deserved a better adaptation.

I think you're missing the point, most people do not mind forgiving. The problem here is that the one who was abused/murdered and wronged is the one who is asking for forgiveness while the perpetrator shows little to no remorse. It wasn't the FL's fault that the guy fell in love with her, but she has to spend 3 lifetimes being murdered and ultimately asking for forgiveness. What did she do wrong for her to die because of the ego and jealousy of the other woman? It is not normal, and it can never be normal for the victim to be victimized into forgiving his oppressor when the latter has absolutely no condemnation/punishment whatsoever. If you read through the comments this is the problem that everyone has with this cycle of reincarnation in this drama.

Forgiving someone does not necessarily mean that they escape the consequences of their actions. Forgiveness is about letting go of anger and resentment towards someone who has wronged you, and it can be a personal decision to release yourself from the negative emotions associated with the situation. However, it does not mean that the person is absolved of the consequences of their actions in a legal or moral sense. Consequences may still be necessary for the person to learn from their actions and to prevent further harm.

I think that's the aspect that Thai Lakorn often leaves out and that makes people wonder, because Thai jails are full of criminals they didn't forgive them and let karma handle it.

I know Thailand has strong connections to Buddhism, but when talking about lakorns these types of endings are kind of stupid. I've watched a lot of lakorns and just feel like those types of preachy endings are unrealistic and ultimately that's why people sort of dislike them. I watch them but it would be fair to see people arrested and pay for their crime and let Buddha handle the rest some other time.

I get what you're saying and I even respect Buddhism but it's crazy to punish 3 people because one of them cannot accept that the other person doesn't love her. That's so narcissistic and just perverted logic. Arrest her for murder at least.

What in the name of toxicity is this? I rarely drop dramas but this time. I couldn't handle the toxicity of this couple pretending to flirt using other people. sigh

You can find it in all the usual places including Youtube and Telegram. I think there are also suggestions below from other people.

Out of respect for the fansubber, unfortunately I won't be able to do. If you have an Tumblr account you will find them or find them via Drama Otaku.

I didn't watch this series yet, but I just had to laugh at this comment.

I honestly don't like the whole let's forgive each other vibe that Thai Lokorn always adopt. The bad guy becomes a monk or does a few self sacrifice and is forgiven. I don't know a world where a woman would like her husband's mistress's Instagram photos.. I think more people would like if guilty people aren't quickly redeemed. Most people would have preferred to see Rin's new romance than Pak/Lalita's redemption arc. I know Thailand is a Buddhist country.

The only complaint I have is how it's never really revealed why the husband was so determined to protect the other girl while hurting his wife but also telling her he loved her. He was so confusing and frustrating, he never spoke up or said anything.That's something different from the Kversion. Pong didn't cry with regret. I liked it though.

I've always liked Anne's serious face and so I didn't find her that funny in this lakorn. Everything seemed a bit forced and her character seemed grumpy most of the time. It was a decent story about ageism and women's issues. I like that they wrote a strong female character, though they made her too strong, unfeeling and bland, especially in situations where she is supposed to react in an emotional way.

Don't call people that you don't know kids, I've watched way more dramas than you and I'm definitely entitled to my own opinion. Like I said nothing is entertaining about sexual harassment in the workplace and writers and authors need to write better stories, not some old cliches.

Do you think queer people deserve to be portrayed as sexual perverts that are unethical and will groop and touch every handsome guy in their vicinity without consent? I live for the day when queer people will be portrayed with dignity and as characters that deserve beautiful love stories just like normal fairy tales.

You are more than welcome to leave your own positive review on this page but don't jump on my post and tell me how to act or how to think. If you were entertained then that's good for you. I'm not surprised since it's just entertainment for you. It doesn't take away from the fact that I think this drama is trash.

The subs can be found on Tumblr by a fansuber (gerberasubs). You know the drill, you find your own raws but not hard to find.

Japanese films are so bad that they've won 4 academy awards more than any other Asian country. You speak as though other countries don't have bad dramas too. Japan has contributed to the world arts/films so just criticizing a certain section or genre of dramas that you don't like doesn't mean that they are not influential or successful. I can say the same about Korea's cliche romance dramas and assembly line actors with little variety in genres. Japanese dramas have a long line of genres and sub genres not just those two that you don't like.

Those cheating dramas that you mentioned are mostly based on josei manga (adult topics) which is a specific category in itself. It has specific themes, topics and sub-genres. So you cannot simply lump everything up and say "Japanese dramas is bad" there have a market for it and that's why they make them.
Those few genres you mentioned cannot possibly define a whole industry.

Besides they have way more TV stations (Fuji TV), NTV,NHK, TBS, Asahi, WOWOW) and some of the dramas like NHK dramas already have a certain formats and target audiences.

subs can be found on Tumblr. Raws are also not that hard to find on the usual sites.

You can almost say that she was a coward for choosing to stick with her parents but erasing her sister from their lives. She was an enabler who never investigated her beliefs but dabbled in both worlds afraid of facing the truth even when she had a cold and could see that there were no stars. She was more of a prisoner of her parents's beliefs.

it's a pink film, so not that hard to find. A simple Google search of film name and year will give you some results. You can private message me if you can't find it.

There is no difference between Yaoi and BL, I just used it for semantic purposes. A lot of Yaoi novels are the source materials for all these BL drama series.

Like I said I can come up with at least ten scenes that are ableist and have some type of white knighting behaviour by Mork. For example how often he is holding Day's hand or leading him. You see it as being too protective, while I see it as the problem. How do you show love and support to someone living with a disability without making it seem like they are helpless and would be lost without you? Maybe reading the novel gives a different vibe.

Yes, I agree that Aon is portrayed differently, I like that. But by Episode 8 don't you think Day should more or less get more independent and not clinging to Mork?

I also know that yaoi readers and consumers of BL often blind to the underlying issues of certain storylines and are okay with whatever as long as they get their BL/yaoi fix and it's they fav etc.

Thanks that's great to know, but I also was not expecting them to get it right when disability is part of the plot and is being used as a plot device/plot line for the story. It's different when it's just a character with a disability.

Their drama still got a very high rating for all that KFC eating they did in Vice Versa. They also has a huge following on Twitter ( x or whatever) and that's the main reason why I'm watching this series again even though I know he is over hyped. Somebody gave it a 10/10 just like Vice Versa and being the curious person I am I just couldn't help myself.
