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.

The world is funny place, people love you when you are on the top and making money for them. Once you lose your golden egg making abilities, you can easily be thrown away. I hope and pray he has people supporting him right now. Addiction is a disease and drug-addicts are people with genuinely real problems. The other sad thing is he is probably not the only one in the industry that is struggling, he is the one that got caught. The fact that its been going on for a while shows that there might be a network and supply of drugs for the rich and famous.

The most accurate review of the show that i agree with.

This lakorn is not as cute or sweet as the comments here.I have never hated a family the way i did this one. So toxic and superficial to the very end, their fights so petty & childish.From episode 1-8 i honestly had to force myself because of the petty fights and no story. The father was so unreasonable and acted like a douche, he was just as selfish as the other dad. They baited us with the ML/FL relationship the whole show, FL was hot & cold and seems to contradict herself most of the time. The ML is a lovable fairy-tale character, that doesn't belong in this lakorn, he was written for something much sweeter than this show.
At least i can always count on Thai Lakorn to teach me about how bad & toxic polygamy is.

found it on the internet, will message you.

Didn't like her too. She was too nosy and full of disinformation. For a Dr she was a bit dumb & so judgemental. Not even a good friend to her supposed best friend.

i need to stop looking at these ratings because the higher the rating the more disappointed i am. This is not 7.8 material guys. All i can say is to have a FL who is dumber than a sheep and endure it for 18 episodes horrible. The ML was great but paired with the sad-looking, dumb FL it was torture. I gave it a 7 because it kept going in circles, the villains or the dad were all not that clever to be upstaged by the Step-mum is ridiculous.She is greedy but not that sophisticated.

I had really high expectations when i watched this one, but it didn't live up to it for me at least. Some parts i enjoyed but some parts i found draggy and just filler episodes. The ML does try to be a tough pimp (according to the novel) but it doesn't seem to suite the actor, we needed a better Bad Boy (hard with tats and all). I think it was a miscast. Yes Tor is handsome & juicy looking and all those other things but just didn't work for me.He looked too innocent and clean to be a guy on the edge.The FL is equally lacking in some respects, weak character. i understand she was representing the voice of reason for the ML but we can have a strong, assertive voice right.Some people saw chemistry, i saw none. I rated it a 7.5 because i enjoyed some of the action scenes but not deserving of an 8.3 because it wasn't consistently great. My favorite character that i think embodied what the series should have been is Aunty Mam. Maybe when they do another remake they make use my ideas (haha). But who cares right (lol), but i always love it when others leave honest reviews.

Loved it, one of the few lakorns that deserves its high rating. This is a mature lov story, that is well written, combined with the action & island life it makes for a great watch. You don't need to suspend all reason to enjoy it.

The synopsis sounds better than the actual lakorn because some of what is described is not clear at all from watching. There are many irritating plot holes that could have made the drama better if they had been fixed. The SML's character was way better written than the ML's (decisive,compassionate & uses his brain). It's not clear if ML's parents set them up or not. Half of the so-called suspense wasn't even that surprising because you cannot tell if the FL is confused,clever or stupid. It had a lot of potential but fell short. The FL was good at crying at the drop of her hat, but was not convincing when it came to her love for ML. She didn't act in love at all, very wooden and expressionless (i thought maybe she had too much work done on her face maybe). For example when she smiled,it looked weird & fake

I have zero sympathy Anne,she did it to herself.Nam told her, but she persist with her silly plan. You can try and blame Dit but how can you expect him to switch off his feelings...that was just a stupid plot IMO.

I have a weakness for "Cinderella type stories" with evil stepmoms and crazy step- sisters. Sometimes, i was confused when the FL cried ( she cried an awful ) because i could not figure out why she was even crying. The story has potential and is not that complicated. The ML is just a train wreck, i understand its a slap-kiss but....this guy has a pea-brain, abusive and dump.

Not sure what you are into but, i have recently watched the below and found them better and more romantic than this one.
The Fire Series 1
Phleng Bin Bai Ngiu
Roy Leh Marnya(
Tie me Knot
Revenge from the Past

They do romantic stuff together but like i said the context is very different (lies,manipulation,anger,abuse). For example there is a bed scene/sex, but she has amnesia and she is also drunk....something romantic for me would be like in Bad Romeo where even for a brief time ML/FL were clear about falling in love & loving each other even when they did end up having a misunderstanding.

So yes it can be classified as Romance, but depends on personal opinions as you can see from the amount of comments on here.

Its difficult to say really because she was either being tricked,lied to or manipulated so its hard to see it as romantic.
