currently watching and on episode 24....... (11/12/19)
I love season 2 as well, in my opinion season 2 is more interesting than season 1. The cases were more interesting and here the team became more in sync and work well together.
Some things I didn't like is that Eun Sol was kind of left in the background. In season 1 she had more input but in season 2, she mostly relied on the result of NFS. Ok she helped and gave some input, but it was like she was cast aside and the focus was more on the NFS.
Also, about the character Sally Kim, I like her, but if I compare her to Stella, Stella was more awesome and sassy. It's not that I am against new characters. Actually, there are lots of new characters and Season 2 omitted some of characters that appeared in season 1.
But the character Sally was made really similar to Stella. I would have made a new character, with a different personality, not a similar one to Stella. That really annoyed me when Sally appeared. Anyway, she's not bad, but still I would have made a character with a different personality.
For Doctor K / Jang Chul, I pity him. Yeah, he's one of the villains and probably Doctor K killed his mother, he is doing illegal stuff and made the red stocking cases look like spree killings. But he never killed, at least Jang Chul side never did.
But Jang Chul has a split personality, was abused as a child, has a trauma and is being used and manipulated by the Chief Prosecutor. And to make it worse, Doctor K is now taking over, which means that he will start to kill people. I hope they catch him soon and gets help.
For the chief prosecutor and the assistant prosecutor general, I hope they catch them and get fired for giving information and helping Oh Man Sang and his father's company + being greedy, etc. They are also villains and the ones that mostly need to go to jail.
I continue watching..........
EDIT: On episode 31....... (12/12/19)
I couldn't help but mention it, but Sally conducting an autopsy on a fish and copying Dr Baek while at it, was really hilarious :D She really killed me with laughter. It was a comic relief with all the tension around Jang Chul and Doctor K.
I know he made many wrong decisions, killed people, etc, but I really wish he gets a kind of happy ending or gets some form of help. He really suffered a lot in his childhood and to top it off, it got worse when he met the chief prosecutor, who used Jang Chul for his own gain. He really deserves better.
EDIT 2: On episode 32........near the end (12/12/19)
For Jang Chul / Doctor K, I was relieved that he did not kill his mother. She killed herself. Then, he only killed that guy from the investigation department.
Also, they did not find his body and declared him dead, he's really pitiful. For now, we assume he's dead. It will be no surprise, if at the end of this drama, he's still alive and I have a feeling that it will be like that.
For the prosecutor Do Ji Han, he lived, yay.
For Oh Man Sang, he finally got caught and admitted to everything. This case is finally concluded from season 1. He was a bastard who finally got what he deserved.
For, the chief prosecutor and the assistant prosecutor general, they got away with it for now at least. I got last 10 minutes to watch, let's see how it will end................
EDIT 3: On episode 32........more closer to the end (12/12/19)
For Jang Chul / Doctor K, he also did not kill that guy from the investigation department, I'm more relieved, so he's not a killer. Oh yeah, I forgot, but Jang Chul has another personality, it's his mother. Uhh, that's bad.
For the chief prosecutor, he got a reward, uhh for nothing, but it was really hilarious when he fell :D That was satisfying.
EDIT 4: On episode 32........more and more closer to the end (12/12/19)
The chief prosecutor was the one who actually gave the snake venom to that guy from the investigation department and killed him. Smart move, Doctor K.
Prosecutor Do left and Prosecutor Eun Sol decided to stay, find evidence and catch the chief prosecutor.
The idiot kept the syringe. I would throw it away or burn it or something, not keep it in my office.
And Dr Baek, being the typical him and conducting long autopsies as usual.
EDIT 5: Finished and post credits scenes left.........
I knew it that Prosecutor Do would open a law firm. He asked his ex-investigator to join him.
Ok, I knew it that Doctor K would be alive, but never thought that Prosecutor Do would ask Doctor K to join him. That's was a shocking and hilarious at the same time. They would make an awesome team.
They would probably make another season according to how this ended + the true villains or the true masterminds still haven't got caught yet.
I will look forward to the third season, if they decide to make another one.
Conclusion:
The end! I really enjoyed this drama, it was addicting and I kept watching. I did not like some things (I mentioned them above), but on the whole I liked it better than season 1 and this one had more interesting cases and twists ^_^ Ok, now truly the end :P
Finished! :D I loved it :D And finished in one day :D
It was short and a bit fast paced, but I loved it as it is ^_^
Taiwanese dramas tend to start nice and interesting, but since they drag it on, the story tends to go downhill. It's a shame that I avoid watching taiwanese dramas because of that, as my first drama was Hana Kimi, the taiwanese version, and it always be special for me.
And when I heard about this drama, I was a bit hesitant, but I really wanted to watch it + it looked interesting and = it didn't disappoint me, I loved it! xD
I really hope they produce more dramas like this, where they do not drag on the story but tell what they need to tell and get to the point. To be fair, they improved a lot, but for story wise, they need to improve more.
Or I can be wrong and need to watch more recent taiwanese dramas, as it's really been a long time since I watched taiwanese dramas. This year alone, this is my third taiwanese drama and this is considering 2019 is ending soon and up till now I have watched 70 asian dramas from different countries.
For story........The leads I assume, they ended up together <3 They are so cute together <3
Also, I hope they continue it, since the ending was a cliffhanger, as Angie's hong kong ex-fiancee probably wants revenge.
currently watching........and on episode 9 (7/12/19)
It's really interesting. It's the first time I see a medical drama based on radiology and the focus is mostly on the technicians, those who take pictures of inside the body. And these pictures assist the doctors and help them make the best diagnosis for the patient.
I love this drama :D I love the cast and characters, their teamwork, we get to see some of the characters personal life, the sideline / left in the background romance, the cases of the patients they encounter and how Igarashi always does his best and convince his fellow colleagues and doctors to take more pictures or use other technology to get better pictures.
I mostly love Igarashi's dedication. He wanted to become a technician who takes pictures and assist doctors. Ok, he promised Amakasu form when they were younger.
However, he became a doctor or you can say got his medical license to understand better the pictures he takes. You can say that his knowledge as a doctor, helps him use different medical technology to take the better pictures for each patient that come with different diseases and conditions.
However, it's a shame. He would be an excellent doctor + he doesn't deserve other doctors looking down on him as a technician when he clearly has knowledge about different conditions. Not that the other technicians need to be looked down upon either. They are excellent in their jobs and really take good pictures.
Even Igarashi himself does not know everything and strives to learn more. For example, he did not know about the IVR process and he asked one of the technicians that specialises on it or is mostly interested in it + he researched about it.
Anyway, he is happy doing what he likes, and he is excellent at it.
I'll continue watching..............
EDIT: Finished! (9/12/19)
I loved it! :D It's a shame he had to leave, but they are all waiting for him to come back + they kept his place :D
I will definitely watch season 2 if they decide to make it ^_^
currently watching.....and on episode 12 (26/11/19)
I decided to watch this with low expectations and I fell in love with it ^_^
Ok, the story isn't original or something out of the ordinary. But it is hilarious and refreshing.
I love the characters. Ok, some of them are over the top or exaggerated, but they are all essential to the story.
I love the badass female lead who doesn't let others do what they want. However, she is still vulnerable, feels stress, pressure, loves her father despite the ongoing war with her step-mother and step-sister. And her words are harsh, and she may seem arrogant and spoilt and always wants her way, but she is talented and good at her job, she is just, kind, and helps when needed.
Also, I love the lead couple, they are awesome and have good chemistry. They are so cute together <3 It's a shame she thinks he is gay. However, I know that she likes him, but she hasn't realized it yet or she is so focused and thinks that he is gay, that she is ignoring her feelings for Yut. They already had a kiss scene, but she was drunk and thought, it was a dream. I want an official one soon! <3
Also, good acting from all the cast :D
Also, a good story. I like the office plot where it revolves around the productions of movies. Ok, they do not get into lots of details, but we are shown some stuff like the staff involved, the contacts they need to do, how they get the actors, how they get investment, etc.
Also, we get to see the dark side of the entertainment. Like for example, an actress, Alida gave sexual favours to the investor, to get the female lead role in the Bad Guy project movie.
We get to see the drama around Rampa's family, her father, her step-mother, her step-sister and her aunt. Also, we get to see Frank's revenge when he opened his own company, trying to ruining them and now he teams up with Rampa's step-mother to do it.
Also, there is a mystery of who actually put Yut next to Rampa. Yut got close to Rampa in the first place and became her secretary, because of the debt he had to pay (well his father gambles). But now, Yut fell in love with her and the mystery person is threatening Yut to continue to spy on Rampa.
I do not know who this person is. However, at first I thought it was Frank, but he does bad things to Rampa and they usually show when he does.
Then, I thought it was Rampa's step-mother, but I don't think she would think of putting a spy next to Rampa. She may, but I do not think she is that intelligent.
I don't know why, but I think it can be the director. He kind of looks suspicious, he kind of has a mystery vibe. I don't know, I may be wrong. I think it's someone we definitely would not think of, or someone who wants to get revenge on Rampa. She does do things that tick people of or she may have hurt someone related to this mystery person.
But, it is strange that the director did not leave with Frank. After all, I do admit that Rampa is kind of hard to work with, and she can be too demanding.
So, I find it strange that he decided to continue to work under her. However, Rampa does appreciate his work, takes his suggestions, etc. So I may be wrong.
It could be that he thought that if the other directors left with Frank, he would be the top choice as a director instead of them, in the Thai film company of Rampa. Since the four directors that left with Frank, were considered to be the best directors according to Rampa anyway.
I continue watching.......... ^_^
EDIT: On episode 15...... (28/11/19)
Ok, I was totally wrong and totally did not expect that her aunt was the mystery person. I was so shocked and surprised! 0_0
The moment that she disappeared and Rampa asked Yut to find her. I realised that the bob hairstyle was hers! And I still wasn't sure yet, and got the confirmation from the surprised face of Yut. It was an awesome plot twist.
I knew it would be a person who we wouldn't think of and I suspected everyone, expect for her aunt. I got totally deceived, she totally acted on Rampa's side, nice, kind, helpful, etc. She acted as a sheep but was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I cannot imagine Rampa's reaction. She would be totally devastated that her aunt wanted to harm her father, her and their company.
Also, double hurt, when Rampa finds out that Yut actually got close to her and became her secretary, because her aunt hired him to spy on her and he did it for money as well. This would break her >__<
Rampa already has trust issues, which I don't blame her, as in her position, she needs to be cautious.
But, two persons she really trusted the most, lied to her and got close to her with bad intentions. Ok, Yut now really loved her and cares for her, but his intention in the first place was to hurt her, so it's up to Rampa to forgive him for it.
Let's see what will happen..........
EDIT 2: Finished! (30/11/19)
Rampa's reaction was kind of what I expected. She hurt Yut every way possible, like ignoring him, slapping him, shouting and cursing at him, etc and she kept at it for like 6 months. I'm glad that they showed it like this.
I think I would be disappointed if Rampa forgave him easily, even after he took the bullet for her. I would be like, ''Uhh, so everything is ok and forgotten, even if this happened, etc.'' And this is considering Rampa's character, it would definitely not be her style.
However, I knew that deep down she still loves him and she still went after him, after he stopped coming to her. Yeah, it took her like 2 months to go after him, but ok. Anyway, after hurting each other and getting revenge, they finally ended up together ^_^ I loved their kisses and their chemistry, they were so cute <3
Also, for the second couple, for Simon and Da. I wish they more screen time as a couple. I did ship them in the beginning, but Simon was obsessed with Rampa. While, Da was obsessed with Simon as a fan. Even though, Da was nice to Simon, took care of him, etc, Simon ignored her.
It wasn't until like the last 3 episodes left, that Da got the message that Simon doesn't notice her in any way, that she showed her true character. And Simon was shocked and he started to notice her, follow her around and eventually fell in love with her. It was really hilarious each time he did a nice gesture, and Da was like, 'yeah thanks' and shrugs it off, and he's like 'Oh my God' each time. Well, she was hiding her real feelings as she obviously still loved him. Anyway, she succeeded in getting Simon.
For the villains of the story, Rampa's aunt and Frank got what they deserved. Rampa forgave her aunt.
And also, you can say that she finally accepted her step-mother and step-sister. Ok, not 100%, but at the celebration party of the success of Bad Guy movie, you can say that they came to some terms.
To conclude, I liked the story in general, the acting, the cast and the characters. Ok, it is nothing out of the ordinary, or new, but I really enjoyed watching it.
Ok, they were times I took a break from it and stopped watching it. Also, I do admit that the last 2 episodes were kind of draggy, but I watched it all with no fast forwarding. Worth a watch :)
The leads are really cute, adorable and sweet <3 <3 I really love their interactions and their chemistry ^_^
However, the story and the plot is lacking and I am finding it boring.
The story did start interesting, with the main actor needing the main actress to sleep next to him, for him to be able to sleep and prepare for an important event related to piano. However, that plot did not take long and deviated from it completely. And lots of obstacles and annoying people in the way.
I am mostly fast forwarding scenes that I don't like or useless or draggy.
But one thing I find original in this drama and never seen it before are Mido's parents. Like her mother and father are really huge fans of Song Xi. Especially her mother is really obsessed with him, to the point that she remembers his birthday but forgets her own daughter's birthday. And also remembers to attend Song Xi's events.
At first, I thought that he is her child from someone else and she did not raise him. As Mido's mother kepts an album with his pictures and called him her child.
But then since the leads are so cute together, I assumed that he's not her real child, but Mido's mother is a huge fan. And later on, it was reveled that she is a fan.
The hilarious thing is that Mido found out in the beginning that Song Xi lives next to them and Mido did not know who he was, while her parents are his biggest fans and took them till episode 18 to find out. That part was really hilarious.
I'm still curious why Mido's mother is so obsessed with piano, music, etc and forces her daughter to get into music when Mido does not have talent for it. Maybe it will get revealed later on.
Anyway, on the whole, this drama is not bad. It's nothing special either. But, it is a good to watch it when you do not know what to watch, or want to watch something light, cute and fluffy.
EDIT: Finished!
It was a cute and light drama :) I love the main leads, they were so adorable and loved their kiss scenes <3 And a happy ending :)
As I said above, the plot and story were lacking, lots of questions were left unanswered and I did fast forwarding some scenes. However, it's not bad overall, a good drama to pass time and want to watch something light and sweet :)
If I compare it to Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat, it's not as amazing as Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat. I loved Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat more.
However, this lakorn is interesting on its own as well. It was interesting that I learned more about some more historical events that happened in Thailand. Also, I think it was the first time I saw a lakorn with lots of battles in it.
Moreover, I don't remember the dates but it's definitely more recent than Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat as some Inwa soldiers or commanders and even some thai people from Adoyaha have guns. I also learned lots lof things like that 'Thai' means free, I did not know that. Also, like a game called Kallabot.
Also, I liked the plot that revolved around the palace and the nobles, ok it wasn't the best ever, but I liked it. You get to see the dark side of the palace, the nobles, their power, corruption, the things they do, their greed, how they look down on poor people, commoners and the slaves, people who are patriotic and those who aren't, how they live, their culture, their way of life, etc. Anyway, it's the usual around historical dramas, especially when the palace in involved.
Also, I loved the main leads, they are cute together <3 Also, their interactions and how they tease each other is so adorable <3 The downside is that we barely see any romance, even up till now they are not officially together yet. But they definitely love each other. However, the point of this drama is not the romance but not the historical events that happened to Thailand in the past.
Moreover, I liked the parts of the main lead disguised as an Eunuch. It was the first time I saw the focus on Eunuchs in the palace, the work they do, etc and in this case they were foreigners, they were Turkish. It was different than usual, so for me it was interesting. I never saw a historical drama like this lakorn. As like in Korean and Chinese historical dramas, the Eunuchs are left in the background and were never foreigners.
For me, this lakorn isn't the best ever. Many times I put this lakorn on a short hold, as sometimes it annoyed me or many things were happening, people who did not deserve it died, etc and so I watched something else to take a break from it.
However, I still watched it all, with no fast forwarding, as I did not want to miss anything. But, it would have been better if it was shorter, there were many times in the story that were extra plots, especially in the palace parts. Also, it had many hilarious moments, sad and painful moments.
Anyway, I loved all the cast, they were all great actors. Also, I loved all the characters, they were important to the story :) And it took me some time to watch it, but I'm glad I did ^_^
Last 2 episodes left..........
EDIT: Finished!
The thai managed to take back their home in 7 months, that's really impressive. The new King is really good. I'm happy that they got their home back :)
Also, the main leads got together and got married :D Their wedding night was so hilarious :D And they are also so cute and adorable together ^_^
It is a sort of happy ending. It's sad that the thai people that were stolen away from their home and taken to another country, could not return back to their home. Also, the thai had to continue fighting for their country and continuous wars. However, there were many beneficial things as well. However, on a happier note, the traitors got what they deserved, mostly died and the concubine turned crazy.
Anyway, I liked the lakorn :) It's worth a watch ^_^
currently watching and on episode 10..... (7/11/19)
I like the characters and the main leads are cute together ^_^ Plus their kiss scenes are great :3
However, for the story, it is nothing special. Yeah, we have the supernatural plot where in this world, apart from the normal humans, exist also the espers, healers and the guardians.
This is supposed to be interesting, but for me it is boring and nothing special. Maybe it is because we don't know much information about the espers (people with super powers), healers and the guardians yet. Like I want to know what is the point of them, what do they do, etc. Anything about them.
Also, another plot, is that there is a guy who wants to get revenge for his brother's death and apparently the people involved are the main leads (esper and healer), the healers' father and the guardian. Even this part is not that interesting.
Anyway, the focus of the story I'm watching now are seeing the main actress as a designer + seeing the work environment and the main leads + other characters involved. Yeah, the leads are cute and the other characters contribute to it, but it makes the story as the usual and nothing special.
Anyway, I'm fast forwarding parts that are boring..........hopefully it gets better when they start to focus more on espers, healers, guardians, etc.
EDIT: Finished!
A sad ending. Well, a new character was introduced who was a healer and she died. I'm still kind of not sure, why this character was introduced almost near the end of the drama, and why was the point of them.
Then the main lead's sister died as well, I cried at that part. I kind of wished she lived. But then again, if Shuang Shuang saved her, she would die in return. At least, the leads reunited.
Also, I wished that they explored or explained more about espers, healers, etc. It was left in the air. The only thing they explained was the revenge part and what exactly happened when the house got burned and the leads being young were there.
Moreover, the confusing thing is the last bit of the ending. It showed the MIST company and a look-a-like of the main lead came to apply as a designer. And like the end. I'm like, what the heck! Maybe they want to continue it or I don't know.
Anyway, the end. The story is not totally bad, but lots of things are left unexplained and it's not that special. At least, the acting was good and I liked the cast and characters :) Also, I loved the chemistry of the main leads and their kisses ^_^
I did not know that they were in an idol group together. I only saw them act in dramas before and they are all great actors :D I'm off to listen to their music ^_^
currently watching and on episode 24....... (11/12/19)
I love season 2 as well, in my opinion season 2 is more interesting than season 1. The cases were more interesting and here the team became more in sync and work well together.

I continue watching..........

I know he made many wrong decisions, killed people, etc, but I really wish he gets a kind of happy ending or gets some form of help.

Also, good acting from all the cast :D
Also, a good story. I like the office plot where it revolves around the productions of movies. Ok, they do not get into lots of details, but we are shown some stuff like the staff involved, the contacts they need to do, how they get the actors, how they get investment, etc.
Also, we get to see the dark side of the entertainment. Like for example, an actress, Alida gave sexual favours to the investor, to get the female lead role in the Bad Guy project movie.
We get to see the drama around Rampa's family, her father, her step-mother, her step-sister and her aunt. Also, we get to see Frank's revenge when he opened his own company, trying to ruining them and now he teams up with Rampa's step-mother to do it.
Also, there is a mystery of who actually put Yut next to Rampa. Yut got close to Rampa in the first place and became her secretary, because of the debt he had to pay (well his father gambles). But now, Yut fell in love with her and the mystery person is threatening Yut to continue to spy on Rampa.
I do not know who this person is. However, at first I thought it was Frank, but he does bad things to Rampa and they usually show when he does.
Then, I thought it was Rampa's step-mother, but I don't think she would think of putting a spy next to Rampa. She may, but I do not think she is that intelligent.
I don't know why, but I think it can be the director. He kind of looks suspicious, he kind of has a mystery vibe. I don't know, I may be wrong. I think it's someone we definitely would not think of, or someone who wants to get revenge on Rampa. She does do things that tick people of or she may have hurt someone related to this mystery person.
But, it is strange that the director did not leave with Frank. After all, I do admit that Rampa is kind of hard to work with, and she can be too demanding.
So, I find it strange that he decided to continue to work under her. However, Rampa does appreciate his work, takes his suggestions, etc. So I may be wrong.
It could be that he thought that if the other directors left with Frank, he would be the top choice as a director instead of them, in the Thai film company of Rampa. Since the four directors that left with Frank, were considered to be the best directors according to Rampa anyway.
I continue watching.......... ^_^
EDIT: On episode 15...... (28/11/19)
Ok, I was totally wrong and totally did not expect that her aunt was the mystery person. I was so shocked and surprised! 0_0
The moment that she disappeared and Rampa asked Yut to find her. I realised that the bob hairstyle was hers! And I still wasn't sure yet, and got the confirmation from the surprised face of Yut. It was an awesome plot twist.
I knew it would be a person who we wouldn't think of and I suspected everyone, expect for her aunt. I got totally deceived, she totally acted on Rampa's side, nice, kind, helpful, etc. She acted as a sheep but was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I cannot imagine Rampa's reaction. She would be totally devastated that her aunt wanted to harm her father, her and their company.
Also, double hurt, when Rampa finds out that Yut actually got close to her and became her secretary, because her aunt hired him to spy on her and he did it for money as well. This would break her >__<
Rampa already has trust issues, which I don't blame her, as in her position, she needs to be cautious.
But, two persons she really trusted the most, lied to her and got close to her with bad intentions. Ok, Yut now really loved her and cares for her, but his intention in the first place was to hurt her, so it's up to Rampa to forgive him for it.
Let's see what will happen..........
EDIT 2: Finished! (30/11/19)
Rampa's reaction was kind of what I expected. She hurt Yut every way possible, like ignoring him, slapping him, shouting and cursing at him, etc and she kept at it for like 6 months. I'm glad that they showed it like this.
I think I would be disappointed if Rampa forgave him easily, even after he took the bullet for her. I would be like, ''Uhh, so everything is ok and forgotten, even if this happened, etc.'' And this is considering Rampa's character, it would definitely not be her style.
However, I knew that deep down she still loves him and she still went after him, after he stopped coming to her. Yeah, it took her like 2 months to go after him, but ok. Anyway, after hurting each other and getting revenge, they finally ended up together ^_^ I loved their kisses and their chemistry, they were so cute <3
Also, for the second couple, for Simon and Da. I wish they more screen time as a couple. I did ship them in the beginning, but Simon was obsessed with Rampa. While, Da was obsessed with Simon as a fan. Even though, Da was nice to Simon, took care of him, etc, Simon ignored her.
It wasn't until like the last 3 episodes left, that Da got the message that Simon doesn't notice her in any way, that she showed her true character. And Simon was shocked and he started to notice her, follow her around and eventually fell in love with her. It was really hilarious each time he did a nice gesture, and Da was like, 'yeah thanks' and shrugs it off, and he's like 'Oh my God' each time. Well, she was hiding her real feelings as she obviously still loved him. Anyway, she succeeded in getting Simon.
For the villains of the story, Rampa's aunt and Frank got what they deserved. Rampa forgave her aunt.
And also, you can say that she finally accepted her step-mother and step-sister. Ok, not 100%, but at the celebration party of the success of Bad Guy movie, you can say that they came to some terms.
To conclude, I liked the story in general, the acting, the cast and the characters. Ok, it is nothing out of the ordinary, or new, but I really enjoyed watching it.
Ok, they were times I took a break from it and stopped watching it. Also, I do admit that the last 2 episodes were kind of draggy, but I watched it all with no fast forwarding. Worth a watch :)
I watched it from dailymotion, see the link below:

Can I find it in English subs please? Thank you ^_^ Great article btw :D
currently watching.......and on ep 18
The leads are really cute, adorable and sweet <3 <3 I really love their interactions and their chemistry ^_^
However, the story and the plot is lacking and I am finding it boring.
The story did start interesting, with the main actor needing the main actress to sleep next to him, for him to be able to sleep and prepare for an important event related to piano. However, that plot did not take long and deviated from it completely. And lots of obstacles and annoying people in the way.
I am mostly fast forwarding scenes that I don't like or useless or draggy.
But one thing I find original in this drama and never seen it before are Mido's parents. Like her mother and father are really huge fans of Song Xi. Especially her mother is really obsessed with him, to the point that she remembers his birthday but forgets her own daughter's birthday. And also remembers to attend Song Xi's events.
At first, I thought that he is her child from someone else and she did not raise him. As Mido's mother kepts an album with his pictures and called him her child.
But then since the leads are so cute together, I assumed that he's not her real child, but Mido's mother is a huge fan. And later on, it was reveled that she is a fan.
The hilarious thing is that Mido found out in the beginning that Song Xi lives next to them and Mido did not know who he was, while her parents are his biggest fans and took them till episode 18 to find out. That part was really hilarious.
I'm still curious why Mido's mother is so obsessed with piano, music, etc and forces her daughter to get into music when Mido does not have talent for it. Maybe it will get revealed later on.
Anyway, on the whole, this drama is not bad. It's nothing special either. But, it is a good to watch it when you do not know what to watch, or want to watch something light, cute and fluffy.
EDIT: Finished!
It was a cute and light drama :) I love the main leads, they were so adorable and loved their kiss scenes <3 And a happy ending :)
As I said above, the plot and story were lacking, lots of questions were left unanswered and I did fast forwarding some scenes. However, it's not bad overall, a good drama to pass time and want to watch something light and sweet :)
currently watching and on ep 15.......
If I compare it to Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat, it's not as amazing as Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat. I loved Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat more.
However, this lakorn is interesting on its own as well. It was interesting that I learned more about some more historical events that happened in Thailand. Also, I think it was the first time I saw a lakorn with lots of battles in it.
Moreover, I don't remember the dates but it's definitely more recent than Bpoop Phaeh Saniwaat as some Inwa soldiers or commanders and even some thai people from Adoyaha have guns. I also learned lots lof things like that 'Thai' means free, I did not know that. Also, like a game called Kallabot.
Also, I liked the plot that revolved around the palace and the nobles, ok it wasn't the best ever, but I liked it. You get to see the dark side of the palace, the nobles, their power, corruption, the things they do, their greed, how they look down on poor people, commoners and the slaves, people who are patriotic and those who aren't, how they live, their culture, their way of life, etc. Anyway, it's the usual around historical dramas, especially when the palace in involved.
Also, I loved the main leads, they are cute together <3 Also, their interactions and how they tease each other is so adorable <3 The downside is that we barely see any romance, even up till now they are not officially together yet. But they definitely love each other. However, the point of this drama is not the romance but not the historical events that happened to Thailand in the past.
Moreover, I liked the parts of the main lead disguised as an Eunuch. It was the first time I saw the focus on Eunuchs in the palace, the work they do, etc and in this case they were foreigners, they were Turkish. It was different than usual, so for me it was interesting. I never saw a historical drama like this lakorn. As like in Korean and Chinese historical dramas, the Eunuchs are left in the background and were never foreigners.
For me, this lakorn isn't the best ever. Many times I put this lakorn on a short hold, as sometimes it annoyed me or many things were happening, people who did not deserve it died, etc and so I watched something else to take a break from it.
However, I still watched it all, with no fast forwarding, as I did not want to miss anything. But, it would have been better if it was shorter, there were many times in the story that were extra plots, especially in the palace parts. Also, it had many hilarious moments, sad and painful moments.
Anyway, I loved all the cast, they were all great actors. Also, I loved all the characters, they were important to the story :) And it took me some time to watch it, but I'm glad I did ^_^
Last 2 episodes left..........
EDIT: Finished!
The thai managed to take back their home in 7 months, that's really impressive. The new King is really good. I'm happy that they got their home back :)
Also, the main leads got together and got married :D Their wedding night was so hilarious :D And they are also so cute and adorable together ^_^
It is a sort of happy ending. It's sad that the thai people that were stolen away from their home and taken to another country, could not return back to their home. Also, the thai had to continue fighting for their country and continuous wars. However, there were many beneficial things as well. However, on a happier note, the traitors got what they deserved, mostly died and the concubine turned crazy.
Anyway, I liked the lakorn :) It's worth a watch ^_^
I like the characters and the main leads are cute together ^_^ Plus their kiss scenes are great :3
However, for the story, it is nothing special. Yeah, we have the supernatural plot where in this world, apart from the normal humans, exist also the espers, healers and the guardians.
This is supposed to be interesting, but for me it is boring and nothing special. Maybe it is because we don't know much information about the espers (people with super powers), healers and the guardians yet. Like I want to know what is the point of them, what do they do, etc. Anything about them.
Also, another plot, is that there is a guy who wants to get revenge for his brother's death and apparently the people involved are the main leads (esper and healer), the healers' father and the guardian. Even this part is not that interesting.
Anyway, the focus of the story I'm watching now are seeing the main actress as a designer + seeing the work environment and the main leads + other characters involved. Yeah, the leads are cute and the other characters contribute to it, but it makes the story as the usual and nothing special.
Anyway, I'm fast forwarding parts that are boring..........hopefully it gets better when they start to focus more on espers, healers, guardians, etc.
EDIT: Finished!
A sad ending. Well, a new character was introduced who was a healer and she died. I'm still kind of not sure, why this character was introduced almost near the end of the drama, and why was the point of them.
Then the main lead's sister died as well, I cried at that part. I kind of wished she lived. But then again, if Shuang Shuang saved her, she would die in return. At least, the leads reunited.
Also, I wished that they explored or explained more about espers, healers, etc. It was left in the air. The only thing they explained was the revenge part and what exactly happened when the house got burned and the leads being young were there.
Moreover, the confusing thing is the last bit of the ending. It showed the MIST company and a look-a-like of the main lead came to apply as a designer. And like the end. I'm like, what the heck! Maybe they want to continue it or I don't know.
Anyway, the end. The story is not totally bad, but lots of things are left unexplained and it's not that special. At least, the acting was good and I liked the cast and characters :) Also, I loved the chemistry of the main leads and their kisses ^_^
