Loved it. Kim Da Mi was seriously bad-ass in this movie. Her little smirk is terrifying. 9/10.

I'm used to writers using misunderstanding to manufacture conflict in a story, but Episode 6 takes that trope to new levels. Misunderstanding upon misunderstanding upon misunderstanding, all protected and reinforced by layers of voluntary mutism, unreasonable assumptions and generally extremely immature behaviour by the characters. The end result is incredibly frustrating viewing. Voluntary mutism is a really lazy tool for writers to use to extend misunderstanding / conflict for much longer than is necessary.

It is a great drama, but not everything is perfect. I have a big problem with Yoon Ran Joo chosing to live with Lee Seo Joon, who only a few days earlier was actively trying to destroy her financially. He experienced no consequences for his toxic behaviour, which is essentially the writers normalising this toxic behaviour.

Why would Yoon Ran Joo be living with the man who only a few days earlier was actively trying to destroy her financially. Jung Bong Wan's abuse was physical and he's painted correctly as the bad guy, but because Lee Seo Joon's abuse was financial, he's given a free pass and he also gets the girl. It's messed up. Writer's, especially female writers, shouldn't be normalising ANY type of abuse.

Thanks for your suggestion. I haven't yet seen "My Liberations Notes", but it has been on my 'to watch list' for quite a while. I loved Kim Ji Won in "Fight for My Way" and also "Descendants of the Sun".

This movie was terrible.

The reason why it is stated to be 18+ here on kisskh is because the original network has it listed as an 18+ show. You can see this is written in Thai numerals at the very start of each episode. So the question then becomes, why is this show rated 18+ in Thailand? I don't know the answer to that question, but my speculation is that because the show contains same sex attraction and kissing, that might be enough in conservative Thailand to warrant an 18+ rating. In my opinion, this show so far has been PG13 at worst.

I've watched about 150 dramas, and have never scored a single one a 10/10. That changes today as I finish the last episode of My Mister. This drama is a masterpiece.

They don't end up as a couple.

I'm not quite half way through the drama yet, and I really hope you are right about character development. The FL is very simple and cute, but she is basically a doormat, letting others step all over her. The ML is a toxic creep, using the power he has over her (as her boss) to manipulate and coerce her into doing what he wants (e.g. "confessing" to him, staying at his place), while also regularly belittling and insulting her. He continually acts like a petulant adolescent, rather than an adult.
But I'm sticking with the drama hoping and praying for some positive character development, and the creepy, toxic "relationship" they have now to develop into something much less creepy and toxic.

OK - I'll concede she wasn't "evil", if being evil requires malice. But she absolutely was a "conniving, manipulative, controlling, self-absorbed b1tch."

I'm pretty sure that this is the clip that Stacey25 was referring to. https://twitter.com/i/status/1729935645261304281. I really can't undersand why they'd shorten the kissing scene for YouTube - there is no way that kissing violates YouTube's guidelines. Also, I can't understand why this show is rated 18+. From what I've seen so far, it is barely worse that PG-13.

I found this episode a bit confusing, with the numerous flashbacks. Also, the audio editing seemed really strange, with periods of silence and then differences in volume. But I'm still enjoying the series, and that's what really matters. I'm just grateful that this studio is making GL content, so I don't want to be too critical.

Up to Ep 5 and quite enjoying it. However, I'm finding the coercive behaviour of the ML quite creepy. Why do writer(s) think it is "romantic" to have a male in power use that power to control a female subordinate for his gratification. Is that seen as acceptable in China?
Now up to Ep 10 and still enjoying it, but also still finding the manipulative and controlling behaviour of the ML disturbing. After watching him getting her drunk at the work event, and then forcefully kissing her while she is drunk, I've concluded that the ML is an immature d!ck. Then, when the ML was going to leave the FL on the side of the road KNOWING she had no money, no phone and no home, just to coerce her into confessing to him, AND then when he extracts that forced confession, he again threatens to abandon her (without money/phone/home) in order to force her to live with him, he's progressed from immature d!ck to f_cking psychopath. Toxic, controlling behaviour like this should be a major red flag to any woman. This show is quickly turning from a cute rom com to something much creepier. I'm hoping the ML redeems himself soon or I'll be dropping this show.
Nope - I can't do it any more. There is soooooo much wrong with the ML. He is an immature, arrogant, manipulative, controlling jerk. The FL is a doormat. Their "relationship" is completely dysfunctional, borderline abusive (psychologically, not physically). I'm dumbfounded that so many reviewers and commenters apparently have no problem with any of this.
Lastly, the actor playing the ML is TERRIBLE. He may as well be a cardboard cutout of a person.

Funny movie names are funny.

Even though I've been enjoying Chinese dramas more than Korean dramas in recent months, I have to say that on average, Korean actors are MUCH better than Chinese actors.

I agree it was a bit weird, considering his girlfriend (and boss) is the best friend of the woman he just attacked with his misogny. I'm critical of the wirter(s) of this show for occassionally making otherwise good people (including Lu Si Cheng) inexplicably but temporarily turn into misognistic d!cks. Characters acting out of character is a product of poor writing.

I really enjoyed the show, but I was disappointed that the writer decided to make Lu Si Cheng act like an immature, even misogynistic d!ck towards Tong Yao from time to time. For me it was quite jarring to have him jump back and forth between being loving and respectful towards Tong Yao, and being a d!ck towards her. Perhaps its a Chinese thing where being bossy and rude is somehow romantic.
On another point, there was little evidence of chemistry between the leads, at least to my eyes. Even when they were kissing, they didn't look like two young people who were physically attracted to each other. They just looked like brother and sister most of the time. Perhaps this just reflected limitations in the lead actor's acting skills.

Super Sweet ... as in you risk getting diabetes from watching it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it was very short and made on a tiny budget with inexperienced actors. There was a lot that could be improved, BUT I DON'T CARE. I will happily take whateve GL content I can, and I am thankful to these small Thai studios who are producing these shows. I look forward to the day there are GL dramas of "Nextflix" budget and quality, but we are not there yet.

An enjoyable, if sad movie.
