I love this list and have seen several. As far as i know Bad Romeo should not be in this list since its set in the modern time, i guess you put it on the list before it aired since the synopsis here on MDL said it would be a reincarnation time-plot type of drama.
I have seen both versions of Neung Nai Suang (though i adore James&Yaya version more) and i loved Massaya with Andrew Gregson, he was so terrific in that role.Also adored him in Kehas See Dang and The Moonlight Crown. When the Sky Falls is the latest i have seen in this genre and i loved it so much as well. Such a terrific story! Sao Nao is a lovely story as well which really high-lighted Vill`s and Son Yuke`s chemistry...ahhh they made me all gooey in my stomach,LOL.
There are several more on my to-watch list. So excited to dive more into them in the future!

Can you talk about your reasons for anticipating the last 3 c-dramas in your list? I am curious about those titles.
Thank you for this more positive review! (it seems that crazy lakorns tend to have negative reviews unfortunately…
Hi! Thank you so much for reading my review!
I do prefer the original version way more because it is more centered on the main-couple and the Male Lead was much more dominating as a presence and a character.
Just expect a whole nut of trainwreck walking into this newer version however, hope you enjoy the crazy ride.
I wanna list down some things that are DIFFERENT from this version and the original version from 1998. This list is gonna be long and i will try to type down some of the stuff i remember. *** Business plot= Nopparuj`s family did not have the legacy of owning a hospital in the original version. They were businessmen that owned huge companies all over the country. In the new version its about their family hospital that Nopparuj tries to take back, almost all the scenes are set in the hospital in the new version.
Nopparuj`s character= In the older version his character held all the power and was the NUMBER 1 dominating force of the plot. In this version however he is helpless and powerless from the start and has to instantly try and build up his power. He was way darker in the older version, way more angry and filled with hatred and vengeance.
Nopparuj`s relationship with Pornwalai= In the older version they had NO relationship whatsoever or that many encounters either. There was always a cause for those encounters. The reason being he hated her guts and she was afraid of his power. In this version she is obsessed with him and he uses that obsession to ruin her in the end.
Nopparuj`s relationship with Jenjira= In original version they were actually a couple that had dated each other ever since college. His feelings for her dies out when he meets his heroine Yodthien. In new version they are merely friends and she tries to cling on to him with no vain whatsoever. I did feel sorry for her character in the original version since she sincerely did love him and felt heartbroken when she saw him fall in love with someone else in front of her.
Nopparuj`s friendship with Kitti= one of the things i love about the original version was how strong their friendship was all along. With their different personalities they got along so fine and truly cared for each other. I loved listening to many of their deep conversations and the way Kitti used to confront him about his fixation for Yodthien. In the new version i did not see that strong friendship since it seems they had lost a lot of touch since Nopparuj had left for the province in the 2 years they had not seen each other. Kitti is also old friends with Yodthien which did not happen in the original version.
Pornwalai`s character= in the original version she is a mere weak, selfish, cheating woman with no ambition more than that. She is also stupid and blind and is blindly in love with Nithan`s character. In this new version however she is the dominating force of the plot and hates Nithan`s guts and wants him out of the way and are obsessed with Nopparuj.
Nopparuj`s mother= she actually was a good woman in the original version. Sweet, sensitive and still strong and had great heart enough to accept Yodthien`s forgiveness after a time. In this version however she is a two-faced, cunning and cold bitch that used her power to get away with her crimes.
I have more to list down, but i think i am gonna end with the main-love story of this plot:
Nopparuj & Yodthien`s love-story= In both versions they are enemies-to-lovers. In the original version both hated each other. Yodthien always fired back at his insults and refused to back away from his threating presence and words. In this new version she is way more quiet and patient with hsi verbal attacks, but that is because she has met him before and always felt empathy for him. In the original version their relationship was way more passionate and intense because Nopparuj wanted her so badly that he could not stop himself from touching her. The result being he does a deal with her to sell her body to him and he will leave her sister be. When she then refuses he rapes her. Resulting her in hating him all more. In thís new version Nopparuj is only aggressive with her at the start but decides then to manipulate her to get back at her sister. There was no such deception in the original version since Nopparuj never hided his intensions. He was also more possessive of her in the original version and was always..i mean always after her. Felt like he was courting her out of anger sometimes,lol.
In this new version their growing love felt like an old-couples love. Calm like the water. Whereas in the original version it felt way more intense and strong. Passion flared between them like fire in their every scenes. I get goosebumps just remembering it.
At first I was excited. Two sisters, the "evil" one and the "good" one, and a male lead seeking revenge - one…
I am currently watching it (i am on ep10) bec i loved the original version from 1998 so much! They changed a lot of aspects in the plot. The main one was that it is Walai that is the dominating force of this version, in the original one it was the Male Lead. He held all the strings and the power in that version. In this newer version he is powerless, especially the early episodes but he seems to be getting his hitch now, since he realizes he HIMSELF is Walai`s weakness. She had NO romantic feelings or whatsoever for him at all in the original version, but in this one she seems totally weak in front of him.
Omg you should totally watch Born Again. The ML is AWESOME. It was also inspired by the novel Wuthering Heights.…
Wuthering Heights is one of my favourite novels of all time- so i am IN FOR watching Born Again if you say so!!! True Beauty is a sensation and i will definitely come around to watch it as well.
I will put More Than friends on my to-watch list as well,especially after i read your terrific review! Thank you!! Is there any you have seen from this list of possessive ML dramas?
The plot of this one reminds me of a novel that got popular back then, where a ex that was supposed to be dead comes back and sees his girlfriend together with his bestfriend.
We have Push & Son against each other here, damn it.So hard to pick since i am a big fan of both actors!!!LOL
Gonna watch this one after it finishes airing and subbing.

I have seen both versions of Neung Nai Suang (though i adore James&Yaya version more) and i loved Massaya with Andrew Gregson, he was so terrific in that role.Also adored him in Kehas See Dang and The Moonlight Crown.

Tell me about some of the dramas you are currently watching...? Which one are you most into?
I do prefer the original version way more because it is more centered on the main-couple and the Male Lead was much more dominating as a presence and a character.
Just expect a whole nut of trainwreck walking into this newer version however, hope you enjoy the crazy ride.
