Lol, i need to learn to let go of bad dramas. Its just that i take long to decide on what to watch and i spend alot of time reading comments so that i watch the best shows. But with MDL the best shows are often not that great.

i somehow find it hard to drop a show once i get started but i basically watch most stuff at 2.5x -3x . I expected the movie to be a continuation of her romance but it was more a continuation of her confusion. Even the people we hated made an appearance, just to further annoy us. instead of writing a movie that at least gave her a fairy tale ending, they had to torture her even more The worst part is it was 4 years later and she was still confused.

That was the right call to make, because i wanted to punch something. I could not imagine how upset i felt about a 10 year old TV drama. So i can just imagine how the people that watched it while it was airing felt. It messes you up.

i even watched the final episode/movie of TFW, it was just as frustrating as the drama and not the perfect ending i wanted in terms of her being fierce.

Don't wanna lie, the Taiwanese version left me feeling depressed and so angry because i could not understand that woman. I know if it had happened to me i would be burning stuff down and not being so accommodating and lecturing everyone and inviting them to stay with me. It was just too unrealistic.

Mia has the right balance of everything and from the start she was never naive or too nice. At least her husband also seemed to care about their kid.

Agree, till the end FL in TFW was confused about her own choices and managing everyone's emotions except her own. TFW felt intense because the FL was written as a pitiful,weak character, even till the end she never feels or looks fierce. Mia FL had her own short-comings but she seemed more determined and i loved that she never forgives at the expense of her own emotions.

It was like watching a Maggi ad break, for Maggi soy sauce(etc) . The FL is confused about her own life but has the guts and audacity to counsel and give advice to the whole nation?. Not a very good role model in my opinion, while i appreciate the women empowerment element of the show and mature relationships the message is somewhat contradictory.

it was subbed by muse and i was able to find the episodes somewhere.

That's really the main weakness of MDL, most people do not even care how they rate a drama as long as their fav actor/actress is in them. This affects the rating of Thai Lakorns and Kdramas , people are more into the couples than the drama/story itself. Partly the main reason Jdramas are my favourite is because there is less of this. So if you are like me and watch for the plot as well you will be disappointed many times and its rare to stumble upon a rare gem.

For me a 7 is standard rating for any drama you will not miss, if you don't watch it. I normally try to watch dramas with at least a 7.5 because to me most 7.5 are actually just 7. But if i like the plot i might even watch it if it has a lower score.

But just try to watch the stuff you like because folks here cannot be trusted to be critical or objective.

I'm only watching this show because it is the Thai remake of the Taiwanese drama "The Fierce Wife". I hope i will hot be angry after watching it. Wish me luck.

Hopefully in the future screenwriters will stop writing about this type of woman that is a Saint and is responsible for everyone's feelings but her own and be more realistic and trust a woman's choice. Despite saying in the synopsis that she becomes stronger, she still acted confused even at the end, which sends the wrong message.

This was more a battle of wits between the lawyers than a romantic drama. There is zero romance between the FL and the "new" guy, its very nuanced. I enjoyed some of the plot twists. I have to say Tuk always plays the role of evil mother/person so well. I'm surprised people don't think she is evil in real life.

Four years later, it Doesn't look to me like she learned much if she can still afford to be that confused about her life and her decisions.Still has no boundaries in her own life.

I'm very upset, i don't understand why in Thai drama we must apologize even to old brooms that hates us and kills us in almost every life time.Bitter,old & evil yet i must apologize. Or they become a monk when they were the evil one, you think i will visit your temple You Evil person/monk.

i see some highlights on the Change2561 channel but no Eng subtitles. Wanted to watch it too but this is all i found.

The first lakorn that i have watched that deals with some current problems and the FL was not a rich misunderstood person. I liked it, though it was a bit predictable with some very obvious plots.

Jang Hyuk & Jang Nara may actually save me from my current kdrama fatigue.

Starts out well with great momentum, but gets lost somewhere along the way. Then it never really recovers. I liked/watched for the plot and was expecting a bit more of the revenge, anger, pay-back and a stronger FL who is not apologetic or too weak by the end. Instead it quickly downgraded itself to be like the rest of the other shows, with silly misunderstandings that even a child can solve and additional plots devices that added nothing to the story but further frustrate the viewer.

I liked it too, but it made me sad. Its always great to talk about the different ways we often perceive things or get pissed off by totally different things (haha). So I appreciate your comments & input. Its been a while since i watched the movie, so i have had a lot of time to reflect on it.

Yeah, i agree with you that they might have discussed it but there is also the aspect of the disconnect between emotions vs reality vs your brain. Just like when a woman has a miscarriage for example her body continues to trick her that she is a mother. its instinct i guess hardwired in women's bodies. Even in real life surrogates complain about how they find it hard to switch off after 9 months of bonding with a baby, but since she was part of the family i expected a little more affection and understanding.

i remember feeling upset with her mum, when i watched the drama but later appreciating her ripping the band-aid off approach.Maybe we under estimated her as a mum that she knew her own daughter.

I honestly just remember the brother being excited about the baby and not even asking his sister how she was etc. That pissed me off because the three of them looked like a family and she was not part of the perfect picture.

I gave it a 7.5 and even felt like i was too generous with them. In the end i felt like they treated her like a baby-making machine (uninvited from their world after they got what they wanted). I would have understood it if it was not his own sister but he simply took the baby,went home, and discarded his sister and left her with all her broken emotions. After all she had done for him??? I hated that, like it was a cold emotionless transaction and surrogacy is more than that. The milk thing was supposed to represent that (your body continues producing milk while the baby is gone.ie. Body reminds you that you are a mum, even when your baby is gone) but it felt like they chose not to pursue that in the drama. In the end i felt like mum was the hero for trying to force her to move on.
