Title Us
I really enjoyed this drama. The production and acting was quite good and the story kept my attention to the very end. I really liked how the leads were mature enough to have a conversation when they hit a difficulty in their relationship. They actually behaved like they loved each other. Far too many dramas have the leads acting like mute middle schoolers, resulting in unecessary and contrived breakups.
I really liked View's character, even though it was a minor role. I hope she is case in a lead role in the future. And Emi's eyes - oh my goodness - they do things to me.
Regarding the story, I would have liked to have seen Khem face some consequences for his years of misbehaviour.
This is comfortably in the top 5 Thai GL dramas I've seen and is a must watch for any GL fan.
Overall: 8.5/10

Title Love Scenery
Various thoughts/opinions in no particular order:
I have mixed feelings about this drama. It had the potential to be an amazing drama, but fell short of its potential. The more serious scenes and subplots were much better than most of the attempted humour. Lu Jing's university dorm mates were just too stupidly goofy to be taken seriously, however I did find it pretty funny when they thought Lu Jing was gay.
I wanted to hate Ding Jia Yun, and I did find it creepy that he was pursuing a woman half his age. I was also unimpressed when he tricked the target of his affection into a private dinner so he could confess. But otherwise he was a decent guy who accepted rejection maturely.
I ended up disliking Sun Bin Yu a lot. He was probably the most whimpy, whiney, pathetic (second) male lead I've ever seen in a drama, and his aggressive pursual of Ma Shan Shan even after she rejected his advances was by definition sexual harrassment. But he wore down her resolve in the end, so there's probably a message in there somewhere, although perhaps not a very positive message.
I love Noona romances, but I need the younger ML to be worthy of the more mature FL. Lu Jing is probably the first ML I've seen in a Noona romance where there was no question about his worthiness. (I wasn't impressed by his non-concensual kiss of Liang Chen, but that was his only fault by my judgement). I really could believe a national star like Liang Chen could fall for a university student, if that student was Lu Jing. I also liked the character of Liang Chen, but wasn't a fan of the way she acted like an eleven year old girl at times when she was around Lu Jing.
There were far too many filler scenes that seemed to serve no other purpose than to extend the run time., especially in the second half of the drama. This story could have been told in 20 eipsodes rather than 31.
Overall, a slightly above average fluffy romcom.
8/10

Guys tell me if I should watch it. I feel like watching gl, but cannot find anything without super duper big age…
It's definitely worth watching. The acting and production are of a high standard, and the story is very engaging. Although there are some characters with some significant problems, there isn't the toxicity you find in many other dramas. In fact, it is the respect and maturity (and chemistry) the leads show to each other that I'm finding very refreshing. I'd comfortably put this in the top 5 Thai GLs ever made.

It's just so refreshing for a writer to break away from the extremely tired old drama formula of having the lead couple break up (usually due to a stupid misunderstanding) only to have them reunite in the last episode. Having a couple face a real difficulty that could easily have separated them, and overcome it because they communicate like MATURE ADULTS and because they actually LOVE EACH OTHER is such a nice change.
Drama writers please take note - not every character you write needs to have the maturity of a middle schooler and the communication skills of a tree.

Do you remember what happened to his ex wife or girlfriend
His wife left him and their child. I don't think a reason was ever given as to why she left (but it was ages ago I watched it so I may have forgotten).

Title Secret Love Affair Spoiler
Can someone spoil for me why the FL didnt get along w her husband?
There marriage was only ever a sham marriage. That is, they married purely for appearances and social benefit, not for love. So, even though Lee Sun Jae and Oh Hye Won's relationship was technically an affair, it also sort of wasn't.

On My Dearest Nemesis Apr 4, 2025
This is a cute romcom, with some similarities to "Business Proposal". However, in my opinion, BP was a significantly better drama than MDN for the following reasons:
* BP was MUCH funnier than MDN.
* Both the primary and secondary leads had more chemistry in BP than in MDN.
* I found the story in BP more engaging that the story in MDN.
* The 'evil' Grandfather in BP wasn't a sadistic sociopathic bully like the 'evil' Grandmother in MDN is.
I scored BP 9/10, but I'll only be scoring MDN 8/10.

There are no love triangles, however, the FL's ex-boyfriend returns and tries (briefly) to win her back, but she…
I don't remember, but it was very brief. It may have only been a single episode. He had no chance and didn't persist.

The alleged sequel is DEFINITELY NOT A SEQUEL. It is a completely different story entirely unrelated to this one. The only thing in "common" is Ren Su Xi is in both, but she plays totally different characters. I've already notified MDL of this mistake, and hopefully it will be fixed at some point.

Dropping this after only two episodes. Wu Xiu Ya is one of the doormatiest doormats who ever doormatted, and this frustrates me so much. I simply wasn't enjoying this drama, which is the whole point of watching them.

I really enjoyed this a lot. I thought it was cleverly written and well acted. I was especially impresssed with Liu Yi Jun's acting. His mastery of subtle microexpressions reflect an actor who has mastered his craft. Similarity, Liu Dan's acting impressed me.
My score: 9/10.

I hope the explicit scenes will be like Somebody
VERY unlikely I'm thinking, but I'm expecting there will be some skin shown.

I've never heard of Son Ye Jin doing "off screen nudity", and I'm having great difficulty in believing that is true. Can you please tell me where you heard this, or even provide a link?

Title The Scandal
She has done erotic movies before.
Her previous roles were not explicit in those movies. Although they were sex scenes, they weren't nude scenes.

Title The Scandal
this won't have nudity I guess.
I'm thinking it might have some. There is zero chance that Son Ye Jin will do nudity, but there is a chance that Nana might. Remember, she did nudity in Mask Girl. Of course, there is also the possibility that body doubles are used, like the nude scene by Jung Yun Ha in "The Trunk". Also, there are plenty of other aspiring actresses who would happily do a nude scene if it advances their career.
