Can anyone who has watched this tell me if it is worth watching I was planning to watch this soon but I have seen…
Totally worth the watch. With so much garbage being produced, this one is a clean, well developed story from the start till the end. Onto your question whether the main leads has enough screen time, yes, they do. However, there is a caveat, the story doesn't only focus on them, since the story itself is the driving force of the show, not the individual leads. As for the screen time for the SLs, their story is actually very interesting, even more so then the leads, so watching them isn't a downgrade.
Honestly quite exhausting to get through. It's not really worth the trouble to watch it on random sites with questionable subs (I felt like I was reading a mtl novel). What I liked about the show was that there wasn't the usual beauty filters that I see in every asian show now a days (especially historical cdramas). I could actually sometimes see pores and god forbid, peoples skin wasn't pasty white, but a healthy bronze. Aside from that, the story was also interesting and could have been great if magic wasn't the solution to everything. The lack of logic (yes, I put aside some brain cells to accept all the magic, but even the inconsistencies in the magic usage was off the chart stupid) made it hard to shut the brain down cause so much stupid is thrown at you that it gets exhausting trying to be blasé and continue the show without thinking too much. The acting was actually pretty good, and I loved the small moments we got between the leads.
I haven't watched Thong Ek, but watched this as I was interested in the time travel aspect.
Overall a fun watch, the FL wasn't the focus of the story and the spotlight was actually on the doctors (go figure, it's the name of the show!), but I wasn't too invested in the medical aspect. Also, I personally didn't feel much chemistry between the leads, I actually had SLS throughout the whole show and wanted FL to end up with the SML way more.
Overall, from all the recent historical shows, I felt this one was the weakest in keeping my attention (watching this right after Phetra Naruemit, which was actually super enjoyable, especially because of the amazing chemistry between the leads) and wished they focused a bit more on the FL. This might be because I don't go out of my way to watch medical dramas and the romance not being the main focus of the show as well as the time travel never really getting much spotlight other then for the FL to chime in a make a bit of appearance in the story made me ff a lot. The later episodes made me ff a lot as I just wanted it to the end by that point (the episodes kind of dragged and I wish this was more of a 15-18 episode show instead of going into the 20s).
Overall, watch if you enjoy medical dramas as this focuses a lot on the MLs journey to becoming a doctor and especially on how historical medicines and cures.
You are so right on the mature themes! I get burnt out watching kdramas and cdramas and lakorns used to be my go to to enjoy dark themes, but, most of the newer ones are so lacklustre. I enjoy comedy sometimes, but it gets done to death nowadays where every other lakorn is comedy. I wish more period lakorns and dark theme lakorns come out. Another thing missing is good actors. I like only a handful of the newer actors/actresses, they're good looking and cast for just that, most of them cannot act and watching older lakorns you can easily tell the quality of actors has decreased drastically. Scripts have dumbed down dialogue which keeps being repeated. This is most obvious when you watch remakes. The newer ones look shiny but end up losing a lot of authenticity.
I wish they hadn't made a season 2. This was so hard to watch after falling in love with AOS and have it relegated to nonsense plot twists that come and go without establishing anything. Also, anyone else hate that the authors make up a huge threat of the phoenix and it's just killed like in two seconds? Nothing felt like an actual threat cause the writers would just wisp a new magic technique to 'fix' every issue. AOS did not deserve this mess.
Was on ship Robert the whole show and even towards the end I still preferred Pudsorn with him over Indra. With how they matched the pairing, I would have rather been more satisfied if there was no romance in the show. Indra and Pudsorn had little to no chemistry since Indra was pining for his dead wife even till the last episode. This left a slightly odd lingering taste when the ending scene with Pudsorn unfolds and they recite poems about the Sun and the Moon. It kept making me think of how he recited similar poems with his previous wife. I wanted the ending to pair Pudsorn with Robert travelling to France where she wants to learn more western medicine and promising her family to come back as an even more competent doctor. For Indra, I wanted him to finally move on from his depression after his wife's death and start fresh again with a promotion in his rank.
Pleaseee, this lakorn was brought to my attention through youtube, I went to mdl to see the details and then watched…
Mik is a hit or miss for me. I usually don't watch things because he's in it, but if a script catches my eye I check out his stuff. As for this show, it's a train wreck for sure. They tried to put as many pretty people with spectacular fashion sense to please the eyes so people's brains would be distracted by the shiny on screen instead of thinking about the wacko storyline.
This is actually a remake of a really, really old lakorn, if there are any similarities to a manwha then likely…
Oh, I'll look again. I guess the subber never ended up completing the subs. Pity, It was one of the first Pong lakorns and I really liked his intensity in this one.
Wish I could give this one a negative rating for my loss of brain cells. It must take quite a lot of hard work to make such a parody of a show that it can be used as an example of how to waste money, manpower and time (for the makers as well as people like me who are stupid enough to watch it, only redemption for me if that I at least watched in x2 speed and ff a lot during the show).
Like how did they pitch this show to producers? "It's about a crazy SnM lady who goes on a killing spree and has a kill count of 5 by the end of the show, Let's mislabel it as a revenge romance to fool unsuspecting audience and throw in good looking people to disguise plot holes bigger then the ozone gap in the 80s." I want to also ask the Producer Khun if he/she has a lot of money? I would be happy to take some off your hands, it's a better cause then this crap that you have invested in, you seem to like throwing money away, I am more than happy to volunteer as a recipient if it will mean that you don't 'invest' in such projects again and spare mankind from polluting more. Lets go green and save the plant!
I know this is way way late, but I agree with you about Neko. I'm so happy I've found this, and other Thai lakorns…
I usually like to support the original subber on their own platform if they have one, but some site mechanics just make it super hard to watch things. I have put off watching so many shows because of this.
Is there action/magic battles in this series? I see a lot about romance, but if the FL was an assassin, I'm hoping…
The FL gets de-powered in here too. There are generic ML power-up scenes with the help of FL. She stays smart throughout the show, despite losing her OP powers.
lol if you put it like that.. they'll probably change his character a bit hahaha
It would have to be amended for it to be palatable, seeing as they are promoting this as a romance, the ML was anything but. He made me want to choke him to death a bunch of times, I even gagged at his sleaziness a bunch while reading.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really hope they change the plot from the novel a bit (I usually go around praying to drama gods to keep the novel stories intact, it's a miracle that this novel has made me want the opposite).
The ML was a d*uchebag, I have reread the novel a few times and hated him through most of the story, he only redeemed himself very late into the novel and by that point, I wanted the FL to just go become a nun since most of the leads were psychos.
Started off really promising, but then it devolved into an utter mess with the blame game being shifted here and there. Honestly was tired by the end of the show. This should not have been a 17 episode show. The story wasn't enough to qualify for the length, at max, it should have been 12 episodes. All the episodes past 10 were a trudge to get through. Also, Khem was a chore to understand. Her deference to her father was chilling, seeing as she didn't even put up much of a protest when she found out her dad literally committed murder (Kla was lucky he survived). The fact that the fathers disgusting personality not only had no repercussions by the end of the show, but he was sitting in judgement of the couple was a slap in the face of all the viewers.
