I found it messy, chatty, noisy, plenty of characters and events colliding but the plot lacked of depth. It looked like a speed chase with people talking to explain what and why. I gave this a 7.

I liked Fair Xing in PYHOMS but absolutely not in Forget You remember Love. Alan Yu has a wooden face and no expression. I won't try this one unless the feedbacks are good.

The drama has a good first part when they meet and become diner mates and try to communicate with each other. The second part they loose their chemistry due to bad writing and the exes and other matters cannibalize the drama.

I loved it and then ended hating it so much I did not bother to write a review althought I followed this drama every week.

The chemistry looked a chemistry between JCW and KYJ. Not between Dae Hyun and Saet Byul. The whole thing between them looked like a documentary about JCW and KYJ on a set filming a drama where they are supposed to have a romance but the romance never happens and we have to quit the set. See for yourself, the last image is us leaving the set.

Are you kidding. Dal Shik and Cinderella were the best part in this drama.

The age gap is no the problem. It's just that the romance is half baked and tastes bland.

That second pregnancy is a joke in the turn of events. In ep 8 Kawina wanted Pam to be charged for what she did to Mitra but the police refused. Imagine they investigate Pam, Prin and the rape 4 years ago and call Mitra to make a statement. What she says? : "but I am pregnant by him again since we did it lask week"? Storyline is a bit too much but I agree the drama is still entertaining.

Prin wanted to do good deeds for her and planned to help her with the project and let Gun be by her side. So why he slept with her? Did he not know it would complicate the plan. Did he wanted a consolation lot? Couldn't he put himself in her shoes and think about why she would accept to sleep with him after all the ugly things he did to her? Out of pity? Think again boy. Now she is pregnant and it is easy to say what comes next: she will marry Gun or Traitor to make her pregnancy acceptable and Prin wll become mad and do dumb things to harm her again.

Last Ep of the drama she will have 6 kids and they still will not be together.

I think it has the right dose of romance. Too bad they don't kiss but there are love triangle and cute romantic moments. The ending is the most romantic Hollywood cliché.

Sure Prin felt guilty for 3 years. He had remorse because before he did it to her he noticed she was not a whore and it was probably her first time. He who was used to sleep with easy girls and half drunken whore, he knew she was not one like that. I don't think he had a bad impression of her. He was just looking for an easy prey and he liked her and Pam gave him the idea that this was enjoyment as usual. He was wrong. but still, he did not stop and took her first time like a thief. And he had confirmation of that the next morning. This tortured him for 3 years but that's not love. That's an haunting obsession.

He met her again and claimed he has love feelings for her but that's not true. How can this be possible? He was just confusing his remorse and the will to take responsibility as Love. And after she played with him to steal his deal he went all angry and called her a slut in the face of his friend because she let him believe it is the case. What an idiot .

Gun is very thoughtful. He listened and watched his "friend" and he can see that the guy does not behave like someone in Love. Only in Ep 6 Prin becomes genuine and in ep 7 when Prin gives no bid to Starlight's tender offer but a letter for Gun to select Mitra's bid, Gun starts to understand. But It is too late. Gun will try to win the girl no matter what and he tries to corner her now.

I am telling you this because I have the feeling that you seem to say Slap kiss is a genre with rape and if you are not happy with it you don't need to watch. But no. Rape is rape and it is a crime and even if it is in a show only, it still has consequences. People in Thailand fight everyday to change this in so called " Slap kiss lakorn" because they know it is a social, cultural, and educational issue as more than 60% of TV viewers watch Lakorns.

Literal or figurative I think no drama should romanticize criminal acts like rape or attempted rape. It contribute to perpetuate a rape culture which is prejudiciable to the society. For me, it includes others kind of things like being a gangster boss who kills or order to kill people, pimps who sell women... not that I can't acknowledge that it exists in real life but making these people heroes in lakorn I am just not ok with it and I don't watch them.

We all agree that as per the Law here or as per the Thai Law and from the perspective of the audience, it is rape.

But from the perspective of the lakorn i. e. if we were a character in the drama this rape would hardly be prosecuted and proven in court. Instead it is about how the bad situation will be resolved and turned into a good happy one. I know it is horrible to say this because it would mean that a rape is excused if the outcome is satisfactory for all parties. But truth is this is how it works in Thailand. Most rapes are not prosecuted and often it is a fine, a compensation or eventually the guy propose to marry the girl and she does marry him.

So we can see it as a slice of real life in Thailand but we must also denounce this as this is how lakorn are promoting the actual culture of rape in Thailand and they should stop these tropes. Lakorns really do not need rape or constant allusion to rape to be entertaining.

I don't mind slap kiss even if I am against physical violence. I can understand that it's human reaction when someone does something very moronic against another person like sleeping with the best friend or humiliating someone or kissing by surprise... But I don't like it when it is a third party who does it. For example the guy kiss the girl by surprise and her best friend punch the guy or the girlfriend slaps the girl or the mother in law slaps the mother of the girl... That's just bullshit and a promotion of violence. This is why I enjoy some lakorn and I just stop watching some others. I think slap and kiss is acceptable if it an understandable situation. Not when it becomes slaps whatever whenever.

If you can stomach it, the guy becomes a little bit better in ep 6. As for her, she has Stockholm syndrome. She likes the guy who dit it to her when she was drugged. Because all the misery she went throught due to him makes her feel she is alive and all the great prospects outside him are annoying to her. She is a nutcase.

It would not be the first time in the world of Lakorns.

No pathetic but I agree he is not very versatile as an actor. Basically he always plays the same guy. But sure he is popular. His two dramas that are in the top 10 most popular kdramas here on MDL but have the worst ratings out of the 10 and they are not even above 7.9.

In TKEM, Woo Do Hwan, Kim Kyung Nam and even Lee Jung Jin were acting better than him. Maybe he should choose his drama more carefully and take scripts that are well written so his acting does not have to carry the drama. Something like City Hunter. He looked decent in this one.

The drama is still recent and surely many people have not completed it yet. They also have to vote but they must give a very good rating above 9.5. Personnally I have never watched the #1 drama on MDL the Untamed and I don't plan to. So for me # 1 is IOTNBO ;-)

I hope many will beat this or at least come close to it. That would mean this year is a good one for kdrama at least.
