We are together in happiness and sorrow.

What I liked about this drama was that the entire family stayed united from start to finish, without any rifts between them. All the sisters ended up with partners who were perfectly suited to them, and unnecessary characters exited the story once their roles were fulfilled. Additionally, subplots were not stretched beyond two episodes, which kept the drama from becoming boring.

what i disliked about Some parts were boring, and certain aspects of the plot felt repetitive. main Characters disappearing when another main character's story was in focus made it seem like five different series were running simultaneously instead of one. Additionally, the sudden jumps between scenes made it feel like parts of the story were missing in terms of visualization, highlighting the drama's shortcomings. Despite these issues, I’m giving it a 10 because, in the end, it entertained me thoroughly and is definitely worth watching.

✨A Beautiful Love Story, Pure and Undistracted✨

⊹₊˚ଘ♡ଓ 𝒲𝒽𝓎 𝐼 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓇𝓉𝑒𝒹 𝒲𝒶𝓉𝒸𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒟𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶 ♡⋆。˚

I clicked on this drama because of Ben Wang. There's something captivating about his aura, and I truly enjoy his acting. He has a screen presence that instantly pulls you in, so I was curious to see how he'd bring this character to life.

★·˚ ༘ 𝑀𝓎 𝐹𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 𝐼𝓂𝓅𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈𝒾𝑜𝓃 ⋆˚₊

From the very first scene, it was clear that both characters were strong and carried a unique charm. Together, they created a powerful and captivating aura , charming, confident, and effortlessly attractive. It instantly felt like the beginning of a beautiful love story.

꒰ঌ 🌸 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝐼 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒𝒹 𝒜𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒟𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶 🌸 ໒꒱

This drama gets everything right style, makeup, hairstyles, costumes, direction, screenplay, writing, and lighting. The scene setups and lighting perfectly complement each other, making every moment more vivid and aesthetically impactful.

I really liked how the male lead (ML) treats the female lead (FL) he cherishes her like a child, with care and gentleness. The FL is portrayed as a pampered, slightly spoiled, yet innocent character who knows exactly when to show attitude and how to use her charm. She carries herself with grace and confidence.

One of the best parts is how naturally the leads connect. Their bond develops in a very genuine, realistic way. The ML is a reserved, introverted person who doesn’t express much verbally, but his actions speak volumes. They both try to in relation , and the two have great communication. There are no misunderstandings between them, and they share a strong rapport.

Their dynamic gives the feeling that the ML is more mature almost like an elder figure and the FL is the younger one being lovingly pampered. It’s written in a way that shows a nurturing, affectionate relationship, which is a beautiful element to highlight.

Both characters have strong, grounded personalities. They are not swayed by emotions or situations they remain composed and true to themselves.

The family background in the story is also portrayed positively, which adds warmth. As for the villains, they hardly have any real impact. Their roles appear briefly at the beginning and end, and they’re so minimal that they don’t feel like actual antagonists more like background noise.

Another thing I appreciated is that around 90% of the screen time is focused on the ML and FL . This keeps the narrative tight and centered on their relationship without unnecessary subplots. For a viewer who just wants to enjoy a wholesome love story between two well-matched leads, this is definitely a plus.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ 🕊️ 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝐼 𝒟𝒾𝓈𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒𝒹 𝒜𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝐼𝓉 🕊️ ˖ ࣪⭑

In some scenes the dress has been repeated which would distract the attention from the story because this would indicate that those scenes were probably shot on one day.

The editing was off at some places. Some scenes are cut or missing, so the scenes are jumped.

One scene which seemed off to me was the model who was accusing the dress of being spoilt, at least the production should have given a high quality dress to wear so that scene seemed genuine. The dress she was wearing was of low quality, which any extra character is wearing or the background people.

Does ML keep teleporting us which reaches nowhere, there is no explanation for this.

In some places, it felt like the voice was coming from a mic or a studio, and it sounded a bit off or unnatural.

I did not understand one explanation. ML says that he knows that FL loves him from before. But the explanation he gave is "that FL was drunk and in that state FL kissed him and told him the password of her bank account"" how will it be known from this that she loves him, that's weird. But here the director, writer and screen play made a mistake.

♡₊˚ 🪽 𝒪𝓋𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝒯𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓈 ˚₊♡

Despite a few minor flaws, this is a really good drama, and I chose to overlook those issues because the core of the story is so strong. It has no toxicity, no third-party interference, and the family dynamics are positive and supportive. The villains have no significant role they appear briefly and don’t impact the main storyline much.

This drama is entirely focused on the two leads and how they build, grow, and nurture their relationship. It’s a beautiful and wholesome love story, perfect for anyone who wants to watch a drama that revolves solely around the main couple, without unnecessary subplots getting in the way.

Beauty is in cherishing the present, not clinging to the past.

🎬 Why I Hit Play

It popped up on my YouTube feed. I liked the poster, and I was in the mood to watch a costume and historical drama so here I am.

🌟 First Impressions

Before diving in, I honestly didn’t expect much. Most vertical dramas tend to disappoint 10 out of 8 times, they get worse. But the moment I watched the opening scene, I was genuinely impressed. The grand style, the costume, the makeup, the entry, the performance everything felt promising. It gave me hope that this one wouldn’t let me down.

💖 What I Loved

🌸 What Stood Out the Most 🌸
The casting, direction, script, performances, costumes, makeup, and hairstyles everything made each scene stand out so vividly and beautifully.

🌿 A Fresh Take on Rebirth 🌿
It follows the typical rebirth trope, but it’s not frustrating at all they gave it a refreshing new touch, which I liked the most. The protagonist is reborn but doesn’t get entangled in the past in the name of revenge or lost love. Instead, she truly appreciates her second chance and dedicates it 100% to the male lead.

💞 A Bond Built on Trust 💞
I liked how the male and female leads understood, respected, took responsibility for, loved, and trusted each other. I loved how their feelings developed gently and slowly over time.

❁ Characters & Their Beauty ❁
➤The female lead’s character has grace, beauty, and brains and she never gets bullied. how FL tease ML i liked it.
➤I loved the child characters too; they were well-written and performed beautifully.
➤Her in-law family was understanding yes, they had their initial judgments, but over time, they naturally came to understand and accept her, which felt realistic and reasonable.
➤The male lead is protective of her, which I really liked.
➤Even the second male lead’s character felt justified if someone were in his place, his actions would make sense. or i may say the writting and screenplay was good so i can't hate him .
➤ I cant hate any character of this drama cause the villains don’t seem cruel because they do their part and then leave; they don’t have any major involvement. Their role is precise just to move the story forward. Unlike other dramas where villains get more importance in the story than the protagonists.

🥀 Soft Moments That Stay 🥀
The closeness scenes were just a few seconds long, but they felt delicate and velvety because of the depth in their characters. Even a few of their simple scenes touched the heart deeply.

🌱 A Hopeful Ending 🌱
I liked the ending it was positive and satisfying , a new start for everyone with their responsibilities.

🔹 What I Didn’t Like
This is the first drama where I don’t want to find any faults or ask why this happened or why that happened.

🌼 Overall Thoughts
It’s a really nice, lovable, beautiful drama that you should watch.

The Negative Outweighed the Positive, Dulling the Drama's Overall Impact

✧ Why I Chose to Watch It ✧
The cast drew me in. I’m familiar with their previous works, and they’ve always delivered solid performances so naturally, I was curious and decided to give this one a try.

✧ Initial Impressions ✧
The beginning didn’t leave much of an impact on me. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen so many dramas with similar opening scenesthere wasn’t anything fresh or surprising to really hook me.

However, what keeps the curiosity alive is the question: What’s the story between the two leads? That mystery is what motivates you to keep watching and see how their relationship unfolds.

✧ What I Liked About the Drama ✧

☁️ Supportive Friendships
The female lead has a genuinely good friend, which added warmth and balance to the story. It’s always refreshing to see healthy female friendships in dramas.

💬 Honest Conversations
One of the best parts was when the leads sat down and had an honest, face-to-face conversation. The male lead spoke clearly and sincerely, which gave the female lead the strength to give life and their relationship a real chance.

💍 Quick Marriage, No Dragging
They didn’t stretch the storyline unnecessarily. The marriage happened quickly, which kept the pacing tight and engaging.

💖A Devoted Male Lead
The male lead was attentive and caring in every little detail. His quiet devotion made his character stand out.

🎬 Beautiful Production Quality
From the setup and styling to the costumes, locations, screenplay, and direction everything felt well-executed and visually appealing.

😏 Second Male Lead Flirting
I enjoyed the second male lead’s light flirting it added charm and a playful touch to the storyline.

🔥 ML vs. 2ML Rivalry
The rivalry and teasing between the two male leads was so entertaining! It brought just the right amount of tension and fun to the plot.

💢 Jealousy Done Right
The male lead’s jealousy was portrayed in a mature and subtle way enough to feel satisfying without being toxic.

🗣️ No Hidden Marriage Trope
They didn’t go down the overused “let’s hide our marriage” path, which I truly appreciated.

💋 Romantic Moments
The kisses and intimate were ok.

🌟 Strong Characters All Around
I loved both male leads’ characters, as well as the female lead’s friend and the male lead’s subordinates. The supporting cast added depth and likability to the overall story.

✧ What I Disliked About the Drama ✧

🔁 Recycled Plotlines
The same old tropes again childhood exchange, poor female lead with a toxic family, rich male lead. It’s a setup we've seen countless times, and unfortunately, this drama doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

😔 An Insecure Female Lead
The FL's lack of confidence makes her feel unworthy of the ML, which leads her to avoid him. While this may justify her character arc, I personally didn’t enjoy watching her constantly push him away.

💸 Unjustified Bullying by the Wealthy
I really dislike how rich characters bully others for no reason. It felt unnecessary and just reinforced tired class stereotypes.

😐 No Impactful Scenes
Maybe I’ve just watched too many dramas, but none of the scenes here left a strong impression. Everything felt repetitive and overly familiar, almost like a checklist of clichés.

📉 Emotionally Flat
No matter the emotion the scene was supposed to convey, it all came across as flat to me. Whether it was sadness, romance, or tension it lacked depth.

❌ "Descendants of the Sun" Copy Scene
There was a scene clearly inspired by "Descendants of the Sun" and for me, it just didn’t work.

💔 One-Sided Effort in the Relationship
Only the ML seemed to be making an effort in their relationship. The FL, although her behavior is tied to her insecurities, barely tried to connect, and that imbalance was frustrating to watch.

👥 Too Many People Interfering
There wasn’t just one person meddling in the couple’s relationship there were several. It turned the story into a chaotic mess and made the drama feel unnecessarily frustrating.

🧊 Lack of Couple Moments
The romantic moments between the leads were minimal to the frustrating subplots and moment.

📉 Poor Communication
The couple especially the FL had serious communication issues.

😤 A Frustrating Watch
This drama was frustrating. It was hard for me to even get through one-third of it. But since I had already started it, I pushed through to the end.

🎭 Overacting and Awkward Scenes
Some scenes were so overly dramatic or poorly acted that I ended up laughing even when the scene wasn’t supposed to be funny. The acting, especially from the FL, didn’t feel convincing to me.

⏩ Rushed Pacing,editing,direction
Scenes kept jumping too quickly from one point to another. The pacing didn’t allow important moments to breathe, making everything feel rushed .

✧ Overall Thoughts on the Drama ✧

🌀 A Routine Watch with Little Impact
For me, this was a routine, formulaic drama that didn’t leave any lasting impression. It followed the usual patterns, without offering anything fresh or emotionally compelling.

⚖️ Frustration Overshadowed the Good
The frustrating aspects were so overwhelming that they completely overshadowed the positives. As a result, even the good elements didn’t have the impact they could’ve had.

🌟 The Only Bright Spot – The Male Lead
If there was one character I truly liked, it was the male lead. He was devoted, attentive, made consistent efforts, and was open in communication. His character was well-written and likable.

💔 But Some Good Character Isn’t Enough
As much as I appreciated the ML, but even that couldn’t outweigh the overwhelming frustration the rest of the show brought me.

Yes, the male lead and a few other cast members had some genuinely good scenes. Their performances were strong and added brief moments of enjoyment.

But honestly, that’s just not enough to make me dive back into this mess again. A handful of good moments can’t justify sitting through all the frustration.

the story is very well executed not compromised in anywhere some people find it boring in middle cause they are looking for only romance but its blend in corporate world which is nice for me . how a ups down shock business and a struggle to find a way also affect their professional personal relation .

the great thing about lead pair " they walk with each other as well as they looks in same direction" thats sign of true soulmate . which make their chemistry more interesting.

each character has balanced definition and concept which rarely you find in drama i'm happy with all actors they done great job . FL played a character of innocent girl who is full of dreams who met a tough guy ML who is not arrogant (people sometimes find it arrogant) but he resist to convey his emotion a kind of introvert person

if i taught about other characters any character is strong if it played by sincerely and scripted rightly. you can connect with all. till the end of the show you not say that you don't like this or that character it shows growth of each characters.

i hope people enjoy it as much i

✿࿐❀࿐✿A Face FL Can't Recall, A Show I Won't✿࿐❀࿐✿

I gave this story a chance solely because of the male lead. But the moment I realized it was based on the theme of mistaken identity where the female lead fails to recognize the face or identity of her bed partner I watched the rest at 2x speed just to get through it.

Here’s the core of what I gathered:

The male and female lead spend a night together. The FL is neither drunk nor drugged, yet she fails to remember who she slept with. The ML suspects something but isn’t entirely sure. Taking advantage of this confusion, the ML’s brother and his fiancée manipulate the situation for their own gain..

The ML’s brother lies to the FL, claiming to be her one-night stand and the father of her child, just so he can stake a claim in the family inheritance and appear more capable than his brother, who is wheelchair-bound.

Meanwhile, the second FL who is the ML’s fiancée constantly interferes in his life and family affairs, and somehow, everyone just goes along with her.

Multiple DNA tests follow. Amid all the chaos and misunderstandings, When the real DNA test finally surfaces, the FL rejects all ties and refuses to be part of any relationship.

To be honest, every character in this story is frustrating. Not a single one stands out as redeemable or worth rooting for. The entire plot feels like a mess that scrambles your brain instead of offering entertainment. Personally, I watch dramas to be entertained, not to be emotionally exhausted. I already have real-life problems that are worth my frustration I don’t need fiction adding to it.

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. But I understand there will be people who disagree they might say it has arcs, twists, and rollercoaster emotions. That’s fine. But for me, it was nothing but a frustrating experience.

Too many ingredients spoiled the mix

review does contain mild spoilers



Initially, the drama seemed promising,It gives off the thrilling vibe of a tiger-and-prey dynamic , a domineering CEO’s love that hunts with intensity like a tiger, yet melts into a soft, innocent puppy when seeking affection. Sometimes he chases with a predator’s fire, and sometimes he pleads with the innocence of a lover, demanding love and it’s truly impressive. but as the story progressed with multiple identity reveals for both the FL and ML, it became frustrating and lost its charm. There was no real chemistry between the leads only the ML's emotions and efforts were visible, while the FL lacked convincing expressions to show she had any feelings for him. The suspense and threats that were heavily built up turned out to be underwhelming and poorly executed. Despite all characters being positive and no third-party interference or misunderstandings between the leads, the story failed to leave an impact. Although I liked the ML's character, I wouldn’t recommend this drama.

If anyone decides to watch it, it'll be because of the male lead’s and his chartacter's charm , that’s the real draw.

No one’s right, everyone’s hurting a painful game that’s oddly fun to watch.

Characters Dynamic: Who Is Wrong and Who Is Right?

✦ 1) ML (Male Lead)

He approached the FL not out of love, but to satisfy his mother's long-standing pain, waiting , humiliation, broken relationships, and emotional exhaustion.
The pain his mother endured because of the affair between FL’s mother and his father he wanted FL to feel that same suffering.
To him, FL was a symbol a shadow of the mistress who shattered his home.
He offered FL to his mother like a substitute, a vessel for her to release years of suppressed pain.

So how exactly is ML wrong?
And yet, despite everything ML wasn’t toxic.
He kept a distance, and yet stayed close.
He didn’t want to love FL…
But he fell for her anyway.
He is not like his father.

✦ 2) FL (Female Lead)

A girl with no proper home, raised in emotional wreckage, simply longing for peace and a warm, loving life.
She got caught in ML’s trap but it didn’t take long for her to sense something was off.
Slowly, the truth started unraveling.
But she didn’t collapse.
She knew how to cry, yes ! but also how to stand firm.

She was observing —
“Will I speak the truth first, or will he?”

She gave herself, her marriage, and her husband a chance.
Time to make things right.
Her dialogues were written beautifully intelligent, layered, and emotionally grounded.

She was hurt but never demanded answers.
Because she knew:
➤ Answers are asked from loved ones , not from strangers.

FL was a pitiful character—
Not because of her own mistakes, but because she was bearing the pain, mess, and insults caused by everyone else's choices. And yet, you don’t truly feel pity for her
Not because she isn’t deserving of sympathy, but because she’s strong. She doesn’t need anyone’s pity. She carries her pain with quiet strength.

What made her special was this—
She was never like her mother, or ML’s mother.
She wasn’t shameless. She had self-respect.

FL’s mother stayed in a relationship with a man who never gave her a name or dignity yet she didn’t let go.
ML’s mother clung to a man who didn’t love or honor her or marriage , even after his betrayal.
But FL?
She stood tall. She didn’t beg, didn’t lose herself, didn’t break her pride.

✦ 3) ML’s Mother

A married woman, a mother who built her world with love and care.
When she discovered that another woman was tearing her life apart, her world shattered.
If she wanted revenge can we truly blame her?

✦ 4) ML’s Father

He realized he could no longer carry the weight of his marriage.
He wanted to end it.
Is that wrong?

And if something held him back from divorcing, and he chose an extramarital affair instead was he truly wrong?

✦ 5) ML’s “Green Tea” Girl

She loved ML. But he never chose her.
So she targeted FL’s friend’s fiancé only to hurt FL in return.
Was it petty? Absolutely.
But was it unexpected? Not really.

✦ 6) FL’s Mother

She had an affair. She wanted to be with the man she loved.
But when that didn’t happen, she simply continued the relationship.
Wrong or right? It depends on which pain you understand.

❖ 𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍...

Everyone is at fault and also not.
Except FL, who remained the most grounded, everyone’s life was a chaotic mess , suppressed pain, madness and emptiness.
No one is truly happy.

Normally, I stay away from depressing and emotionally heavy stories.
But strangely, I enjoyed this one.
There was something incredibly gripping about watching everyone’s pain unfold.
It gave a strange sense of peace and fun .
The pain, the confrontations they hit hard. Right in the chest.

The ending? Exactly as it should’ve been.

This is not a drama I’d recommend to someone emotionally fragile.
But if you love stories that make you feel, and leave you thinking this is for you.
This is pain, told like game.
This is fun, in the most agonizing way.

Because that’s how people are…
In their own hurt, they forget the line between justice and cruelty.
They pass on pain to others, just to soothe their own.

✨Recommended : What makes this drama beautiful is its writing, characterization, and ending. The same story, if not presented in this way, would feel boring, depressing, and frustrating.

i'm really impressed with FL. she killed it by her strong performance, but i'm not convinced with ML acting, his appearance is dull for me, it could be better if other actor played that role, rest i'm happy with all characters and 2nd couple

i loved those moments where princess and prince showing affection to each other

1 risa came trigis to thailand for revenge/alice came thailand for business from hirosis
2 for both ML its naturally shocking to know FL is the crown princess (FL hide their identity from ML)
3 theephob is police/ davin is navy officer

5 both ML maintain distance from FL thought their not suitable for FL
6 both FL agree to marry other countries prince for her country sake
7 both FL shot and admitted to hospital where rest of the people know her identity
8 princess pririsa and prince kanin are targeted by rebels / as well as princess alice and prince aaron are targeted by
rebels
9 davin's father saves once king of hirosis / theephob's father saves once king of trigis
10 davin is requested by king of hirosis to protect his granddaughter in trust of his family loyalty / theephob is
ordered/requested by king of trigis to protect his daughter in trust of his family loyalty

👍 I really enjoyed the role reversal in this drama. I love dominant female leads, FL is a CEO, especially when she takes the initiative. I even liked how she kidnapped the ML lol! The couple’s chemistry is great, and I loved all their scenes together. I really liked how the male lead was even willing to lose his dignity just to stay with the female lead.

👎 What I didn’t like was the ML being portrayed as a bit dumb he didn’t even realize he was being manipulated until the very end. I also disliked how the ML’s family supported the second FL despite knowing her past. The separation between the leads was given too little screen time, so the transition felt rushed and unnatural.

The FL was strong and bold in the first half, but her character seemed weaker in the second half. As for the ML, he went from poor to rich, but he showed no real growth in terms of strength or intelligence he was just as passive before and after.

👉 Overall, though, it’s a good drama. The couple has great chemistry, and most of the screen time is filled with teasing and romance. The FL’s character, as a role reversal of the typical Asian CEO ML trope, was a refreshing and successful twist in my opinion.

✨ Logic? Love? Missing, Strong FL ✨

💔 Falling in Love Over a Kind Gesture? Seriously?

ML, you fall for someone just because of one small kind gesture and then end up misjudging who even did it?

This trend in vertical dramas is becoming beyond ridiculous. Yes, a thoughtful act can show someone’s good nature, and maybe make you want to get to know them or be friends. But falling head-over-heels in love based on that alone?
That’s not romantic it’s delusional.
Especially when that same "love" turns into torturing the FL and threatening her.
No stable, sane person behaves that way. Period.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🙄 2ML: Just Another ML in Disguise?

The 2ML, who’s secretly admiring the FL, can’t even recognize her face when he wakes up how is that believable?

And if his mother hadn’t told him that she was the one he liked, he would’ve treated her just like ML did. So how is he any better?

Let’s be honest he’s just ML with a different haircut.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚩 "Sending Your Wife Away" The Ultimate Red Flag

Then comes the absurd part: 2ML actually sends his wife to another man.
Even if he was being threatened, he should’ve said,

> "Fine, take me along with my wife. I’m not letting her go alone."
> But no he gives her up, and we’re still supposed to root for him? Absolutely not.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💫 FL & 2ML's Quiet Connection 💫

While I’ve been critical of the 2ML and rightfully so I have to admit, the romance between the FL and 2ML had its charm. There was a genuine sense of understanding, comfort, and emotional clarity between them that stood out in contrast to the chaos surrounding the ML.

Yes, it may seem like I’m contradicting my earlier view of the 2ML, but good storytelling is rarely one-dimensional. We can't ignore the different layers and possibilities each character brings.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌸 Strong Women Save the Day

Thankfully, the FL and 2FL were the only ones with brains in this entire mess.
They weren’t stupid, emotional pushovers, or indecisive.
Whatever they decided they followed through with confidence and clarity.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎭 Acting Was Fine, But the Script? Not So Much.

The cast did what they could, but no amount of acting can rescue a weak script. The character writing especially for ML was full of holes and painfully inconsistent.

And as for the FL’s father?
I’ve completely given up.
In every other drama, the FL’s dad is cheating with a mistress and giving all his attention and wealth to his mistress child. It’s such a lazy cliché now.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔥 FL: Emotionally Unavailable, and Proud of It

What truly stood out was the FL’s strength not just physically, but emotionally.

Even when she was around the ML, there wasn’t a single moment where she gave him hope or pity.
No sadness, no hesitation just complete detachment.
That’s rare.
In most dramas, the FL may walk away from the ML, but she stays emotionally attached which always feels weak and disappointing.
Here, the FL meant it when she said she was done.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💥 Favorite Scenes

✨ Every moment where FL stood her ground and didn’t give ML the satisfaction of her attention.
✨And of course that iconic moment when she hit him with stick and no remorse.
Chef’s kiss. 👏

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚫 Final Verdict: Don’t Bother

I wouldn't recommend this drama to anyone unless you're watching solely for a strong FL and a decent ending.

The plot is absurd, the ML is unbearable, and the writing is all over the place. But at least the FL’s unshakable resolve and the final part of the story gave some closure.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💬 Dear writers, strong women are not the problem. Weak plots are.
✨ More heroines like this, please.

indian dish taste with smile

There were all Indian spices and ingredients which were cooked in Indian style. It felt more like an Indian movie than a Thai one.

Some things that bothered me were that firstly when two people of different languages were talking then the use of English was fine but when two people of the same language were talking then the use of English did not seem right to me especially when you are making a movie where two cultures and language is being shown. Secondly, it seemed as if the artists had hold themselves. Their acting and expressions were not coming out naturally. especially the two moments i like to mention 1st Risa and tim's dance and 2nd Monica's running in the climax.

Overall it is a good romcom. Believe me, this movie will make you smile.

Warning: Stay away from this, it is not suitable for your mental state, time and data

There was a lot of pulling drama. The whole story which should have been completed in 8-10 episodes was forcibly made into 16 episodes. The ex-boyfriend-girlfriend shit was beyond limits. The first half of the story is interesting and the second half is uninteresting. There are also some irrational flaws in the story, like Keanu could have told everything to the protagonist in the first meeting but he kept things to himself. If I look at the entire episodes, I will give 1-2 ratings. Because I liked the first half, I give it a 5 rating. Many people say that it is a heart touching drama, but nowhere didn't it feel like an emotional journey for me. The characters had confused and complicated emotions. Because of which, watching this drama, I did not feel love or relief, but felt tension.

I have mixed feelings, but I'm less happy, more annoyed with this drama because of the way it's pulled off really irritate me .

Sometimes high rating/famous dramas are not good, I also watched this after getting influenced by ratings and people, now feel like I wasted my time. When this drama was released, my heart felt that it would not be good, and I ignored it. and my instincts were right

the show started on 5 mar 2020 and ended 16 April 2020 its wrap up early for some reason (may be corona virus) initially it was announced 20 episodes i don't think this needed this long otherwise the way it was going i'm really going to frustrated but fortunately it started drastically and ended beautifully

the 2007 version is worst version about that i don't want to talk

the unsaid things from 1996 versions are said gracefully in this , their are something which are mark-able words/dialogues of 1996 i missed in this, their are scene which shouldn't be putted in this i hated it, the character portrayed in parent story need applause but here they are not up to their characters . even in this one is almighty the king ransimun and every one inferior to him . almost last 40% drama are really good to watch.

i've mixed feeling for it people who watched parent story understand me very well i'm not convinced by the background setup/production if characters are not justified . as the description king rangsimun character are cold and not expressing kind but here in one moment he expresses things next moment he became cold . the way num potrayed king rangsimun 1996 is better i prefer . as like all the characters i prefer 1996 better than this but as i said its extended version of it the things which left unsaid are expresses here for that i appreciated it . its nice version but not the great one i can say

after watching 1st episode i thought it'll going to be promising one not near to original but at not be the worst to previous why its seems to me a fancy dress show where artist wear clothes and walk in stage here and their people amages by their clothes and setups behind them even a monkey can wear nice dress and look good is such environment but we cant make him to deliver right thing

the worst delivery of acting by all artists they spoiled the whole story

SUGGESTION: parent story 1996 + remake 2020 last 5 episodes

i just have one thing to mention which is different in this drama from all other dramas is we usually notice that all revenge dramas end when one side take revenge or realize that him/her revenge is unreasonable and other side forgive him/her for all its wrongdoing and they happily live after

but here when one side revenge is ended for whatever reason writer give equal opportunity to take revenge or show vengeance for facing consequences of what have gone through FL cause of ML .

kissing scenes are not that much interested to watch because of camera angle it looks fake even its real

about chemistry i find it great and story is great

yes there is something which is unlikable or dragged but if i see overall package its nice drama
