Kannadin

My.. Though I agree with what you wrote... You're pretty harsh 😂
As a husband, friend and brother I think he sucks... As a son though... honestly his mother turned him this way. Also, she's horrible so I think she definitely deserves the son she spoiled rotten to turn against her. That's karma for you.

On Episode 11

I thought Chut was just a very immature little brother but you can see all the warning signs of a very shitty marriage ahead. Dude does whatever he wants without consulting his wife. Poor Chantorn. I've seen my own parents' marriage play exactly the same way and you're in for a lot of bitterness down the road. Doesn't matter that he has no bad intentions... at the end of the day, he considers he knows better and don't care for your opinion.
Which is why women must get married young: At that age, you're blinded by love so even the most basic warning signs are ignored. Older woman are not as stupid. Anong really avoided a huge bullet here.

Well, it's a romance series so I guess, their problems will be resolved at some point, but given the story happens in 1947... with men's mindsets at the time... Honestly, I doubt Chut is going to change.

Anyway, that was my 2 cents...

It's very clear this drama has been based on an old book. The level of miscommunication is just ridiculous. I love that everyone is assuming who loves who based on their own assumptions and that includes Wichai who is the first victim of all of these assumptions. This wouldn't work by today's standards. I hate miscommunications trope. They're the worst. I'm still enjoying the drama but MY GOD I'm tired of people running away with this idea that Wichai is into Chantorn. I can't even blame Anong for believing it since everyone is telling her that he was courting Chantorn which is ridiculous given he's spent more time with her than she ever spent with her own supposed "ex-fiancé".

I'm glad I spoiled myself the following episodes because if it wasn't for that, I'd probably be on the verge of breaking my screen.

Well at least I think Chantorn and Chut make a good couple. I might not like the way it happened ( basically Chut wants somebody to pamper him), but I do think they match.

On Episode 09:

I'm loving this drama but the annoying characters are A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G. I still haven't reached the "honeymoon phase" episodes because I can't stomach too many episodes on the row. My irritation level just goes sky high especially with the mother from hell.

Well... the relationship looks pretty "intense" :D Putting it on my mental "to be watched list".

I haven't read the novel but I bought it and checked the end. When the main leads get together it's the end of chapter 33 and the book is only 35 chapters long. Needless to say... The end of the novel feel extremely rushed though it's a happy ending, it's very frustrating to not see Wichai make amends and some sweet moments between him and Anong. There is no last minute drama or anything... I've only flipped through it though, but from what I gathered it's only scenes where they declare their intention to their respective families and Wichai's brother's marriage.

In that regards, given the last few episodes (which I haven't watched... but I've spoiled myself rotten at this point), this drama is much more fleshed out concerning Wichai and Anong's relationship. So I don't know what's gonna happen for the last 3 episodes left... BUT it terms of sweetness... The lakorn delivers while the book does not.

Thanks for your comment. Based on what you wrote, I'm gonna skip this one for now. I'm also the type who prefers plot-heavy dramas but need to counter things out with a little bit of romance... as long it's not too cheesy... Unless I'm watching shows that are too tragic or pretty dark at the same time, that's the only time I can enjoy the "gooey" type. So your comment hits home for me. Pretty helpful. I'm also a bit fed up with the "overly perfect ML" in C dramas. To be clear, I love the cheese. But it would be great to have a little bit of realism.

Being a surgeon, takes years and lots of hard work
Being an artist, takes years and lots of hard work
Being a chef, takes years and lots of hard work
Being an actor or a singer ... well that one doesn't count. Connexions matter more than talent or hard work, at least to get into these fields...

Unless this drama is sci-fi and each day lasts 72 hours and the dude DOESN'T SLEEP that's just not possible UNLESS, the dude's in his later 40s early 50s and had no relationships before...Because trust me, I've done LOTS of things in my life, one is actually listed, and I know how much time and dedication it requires. No way in hell, you can do all of that this young... unless maybe he's filthy rich and every single thing in his life is done by some employee but even then you'd need to have 72 hours long day and start literally from the craddle (and never stop) to achieve all of these.

"His shit probably smelled like roses and lavender" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That made my day thank you ^^

Currently on episode 12...
Most comments are pretty negative... I'm personally really enjoying for the moment. Nothing extraordinary but I'm currently watching 5 shows ( 1 is an anime) and out of these 5 shows, 3 of them are plot-heavy and pretty sad, so I needed to lighten things up with a brainless watch and this one fits the bill.

I'd probably rate it 8 or 8.5 purely on my "enjoyment value" so far... But again I'm still in the middle of the phase where Gu Xun is groveling so I might change my mind when watching later episodes, we'll see.

It certainly caught my attention ^^ I didn't know it was from a song!

lol True ^^

Currently on episode 3.
I've scarcely watched any straight romance from Thailand and this one caught my eyes because of the nonsensical title. Doesn't make any sense neither in French nor in English but MY GOD it is pretty!!!!

First time time watching this actress as well. She's drop dead gorgeous. Her face reminds me of Korean actress Song Hye Gyo. Anyway, just wanted to drop by to say that this is one of the best Thai series I've seen in a while. It's romantic and cheesy but not to the point of being cringe. The main leads are too pretty for words ( especially yaya) and the costumes...
My God the costumes... B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L
Also, it doesn't look cheap for once. I'm loving this.

I spoiled myself episode 10 and 11 so I know what to expect... But I've also bought the book on MEB
(btw I don't for how long the deal is up but for those of you who speak thai or are learning the language, you can currently get four books ... including this one for the price of only one book ( I haven't checked if it's by the same author but my guess is no based on the covers), so grab it while it's still available if you're interested: https://www.mebmarket.com/ebook-327678-SET-4-%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%93%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%94

[I copy pasted the direct link but some characters are in thai and it gave that when pasted sorry... dunno if it works. If it doesn't, just copy paste the title of the thai novel here, then click on the name of the author and you should be redirected to the deal in question]

Anyway I quickly checked and based on the book... What happens in episode 11 is at the end of chapter 33 if I'm not mistaken...
Except the book is only 35 chapters long...

And based on what I've spoiled myself, I really want to see Wichai showing more openly his feelings to Anong ( and suffer a bit just because I prefer when the guy is pursuing the woman first and here we got a reversal... so I want Anong's feelings to be better reciprocated - but again I'm only on episode 3 but I've spoiled myself a couple/dozens of scenes here and there... well everywhere and this is how I feel so far) because it feels like she's the only putting herself out there. The ending is like super rushed in the novel seriously. It's frustrating.

There's 8 episodes left so I'm guessing/HOPING they're not gonna be faithful to the end of the novel and show Wichai fight for his love and making up for all the hurtful things he said to Anong.
Can't see how he did it though. If I was a man, my brain would probably malfunction as soon as she gave me even half a glance.

Also I HATE Wichai's mother, I hope Wichai abandons her by the end of the series... But this is a lakorn and from what I've heard, it has the same type of very frustrating shitty characters that get an undeserved redemption at the end like in most Korean family dramas ( reason why I no longer bother with them btw).

Hopefully it will be available on Viki as usual...
Looks A-MA-ZING

That was a nice ending. Redeemed the drama a bit in my eyes. But something needs to be said:
Teh had a hotter kiss with Jai than with Oh.

So, I'm talking on my own since most people have seen this drama but reaching the end of episode 4... I really don't get the outcry for the supposed "cheating".
Sure Jai seems to have some feelings for Teh, but he's been very clear, he's planning to go to New York so I'm not a professional, but if my future relied on the performance of my actors, I sure would do anything for them to get properly into their role. After all, it's the actors' job to distinguish between what's fiction and what's real ( and yes lots of them get things confused at some point given how many times actors start relationships after meeting on set but that's another story).

Anyway, Teh and Oh are as far as I'm concerned, a couple doomed even before they started to go out together. But after university, it's very clear they would be better of with somebody else. One could say Teh did emotionally cheat, but feelings can't be controlled。 What is Oh exactly feeling except staying with Teh out of habit? There is no way to feel anything for Oh in this whole drama, we've barely seen him and he's clinging for the sake of clinging. As for Teh, he's a coward that can't call it quits even when he knows his heart is no longer there. At this point, I no longer care for any of them.

I'm going to end this show with the same level of frustration I got with the first season (see personal review), though I'm probably going to rate this slightly lower than the first one. I do think it's better, but I'm just so fed up with both their attitudes that I just don't feel like giving higher ratings.

You're not the only one. I didn't dislike it per say but I wouldn't rave about it either. I pretty much have the same opinion. Great cinematography, good acting and production value but average story.

So...
Currently reaching the end of ep 3 where the whole thing happenned. I wasn't rooting for Teh and Oh in the first place even after the first part so this doesn't come as a surprise. I know Teh doesn't end up with the person he cheated with, but it's very clear that they definitely have more in common' than Teh and Oh. Life goes on, people change. This drama is set over many years in which Teh and Oh have lived more apart than together since both are very busy with their lives. It's a given they're bound to drift away at some point even if Oh is clearly more attached to Teh... for reasons I didn't understand in the first part nor in this one.

I guess the fact that I personally was never attached to this couple in the first place makes the whole cheating pretty meh in terms of emotional impact. I don't even feel anything for Oh at this point because this drama is terribly unbalanced. We've spent more time with Teh in more than half the drama than with Oh at this point so as far as I dont condone his actions, I can still understand his position. Should have broken up before the cheating though.

In fact, I'd argue the second part is actually way better than the first in spite of the "ugliness" due to the fact that it's no longer in Chiangmai but in Bangkok. The cinematography is still topnotch... But the nostalgic feel and pretty scenery is gone so part of the original charm is lost.

Anyway, that's my thoughts reaching the end of episode 3. I'm one of the few who thought that ITSAY was an ok drama with great cinematography and beautiful scenery and little more so I'm not disappointed nor heartbroken.

Took me about 10 episodes to really get into the story, but now I'm hooked ^^
The CGIs are nice but it's not the highest value in terms of production. Scenery is a bit repetitive and obviously fake but the story makes up for it.

Currently finishing episode 14 and WHY SO CRUEL SHOW!

My God Poor Chang Yi is so naive, it hurts so so so SO BAD. My God, do the Chinese love their tragedy. There's not a single Wuxia I've gotten into, that doesn't break your heart at some point, it hurts SO BAD but it's SO GOOD.

I want to spoil myself the rest of the series but I WILL RESIST!

Well I don't know which translation you're talking about... But the french part were just very awkward. It was like listening to somebody who was learning french at a beginner's level and making up sentences. The actors accent was SO THICK that even I couldn't understand them as a native French speaker (they should have dubbed them)

In episode 15 the actress is screaming in French " Tu auras affaire à moi" - You'll have to deal with me!

Yet the transcription in French was " Il y va y avoir un mort" - Somebody's gonna end up dead ... Or something around those lines.

It was pretty jarring because this one was of the few sentences that could be understood through that thick accent and they couldn't even get that right.

The English was also pretty awful so that might explain that as well.

Btw, I'm not making fun of the actors. But since they're supposed to be fluent, particularly the mother, the least they should have done, is just dub the actors. It would have made these scenes way less ridiculous.

Please put your comment with a spoiler tag... This is the type of website that if it gets too well known, you can be sure it's gonna be reported and then dissapear。
