RiSeol

Many games were interesting. I was less interested in the love story. I understand that the girlfriend was the motivator for everything, but at some point I started skipping the scenes in the Winning World and I still understood everything that happened. The best friend could have been a little more in focus instead of the girlfriend. But that is a matter of taste. All in all, it was a solid drama - the games weren't necessarily smarter than Liar Game or Alice in Borderland, but they were entertaining. I would watch a second season :

Well at least Tos stayed in character until the last episode - he lied and tricked Bow back to his side... I wish they would have sent the whole group to therapy because they all seriously needed that...

Yes, I'm also glad that they didn't turn Dao into the "bad one"! Although I still don't see Dao being a part of this horrible family. Can Kran & Pika just move to Dao's place? Or the three of them just find their own place.

And I agree, there are some good Slap&Kiss lakorns but most of the time the abuser gets away with everything in the end and I'm getting annoyed at how easy it is. Like I get it, Slap&Kiss is a special genre but most of them are just frustrating to watch because it just doesn't make sense whats happening.

I don't think he kept the rose because he was in love with her - at least in the beginning. I think he kept it because he was drawn to her and she triggered his hunting instinct. He totally was only interested to bed her in the beginning. But I think Pika was the first game changer for him. Pika sincerely loves Dao. As mentioned I think Kran likes Dao but you are right, he is afraid to genuinely give his heart to someone because of what happened with Pikas mother (I wonder if Pikas birth mom will ever appear). So after watching episode 7, I do see that he is kind of in love with Dao, but he is still holding back. That's maybe why Kran is empathizing that he wants her to be Pikas mother instead of his wife? Maybe we see more of Krans sincerity in the upcoming episode. As for the land, I can imagine that Kran will hand it over to her willingly, when he gets to know who Dao really is. He already feels guilty about this whole Jan-thing.

Anyways, I hope they don't pull a "Dao betrayed me, I knew you can't trust women"-plot on us and Dao has to fight for his forgiveness. Because he knows he was at fault for playing Jan, so he should be able to accept why Dao did all this.

Excactly! Jan is obsessed with a handsome guy who was nice to her for a few days in order to cheat her! And because of her nonsense her whole family has to suffer. She should beg her family for forgiveness and seek her own revenge but no, she is playing the heartbroken crybaby... oh and of course she will betray Dao. She is selfish and way too obsessed with her "love" for Kran. In addition she is used to Dao catering her needs so she will surely blame/betray Dao.

No, I also don't think that Kran is in love with Dao, yet. He enjoys their game and likes the fact that she is one of the few women that won't jump into his bed right away. Plus Pika likes her which never happened with any of the million women he "dated" before. But he likes Dao more than his other women. This I can see. It's just that he tries way too hard to get Dao in bed. And all I hear him say is that he wants her to be Pikas Mom and not that he wants her to be his wife. Except if I missed that so correct me if I'm wrong. :) And I thought that the rose was maybe the rose that Dao had in the club? On the first night they met? But I could be wrong though :D

I thought that it would be too cliché if RoNa was YCs biological daughter. But after episode 6, I need him to be RoNas dad and I need everyone to know what he and SJ did. I don't think RoNa is dead - and if she is alive I want her to know what trash YC is.

Loved the Min Seol Ahs scene - I need more of that. Can someone have hallucinations/dreams of her from time to time, please?

Oh my god... Jan is so pathetic - I can't stand her! She barely knows the real Kran plus he deceived her and she is like "He is the love of my life" - like how did she come to this conclusion??? It doesn't make any sense - she is so... stupid. Kran and his family derserve what there is coming for them (I only feel bad for Pika) but Jan is too much. She is behaving like she knows Kran for forever when in fact they barely knew each other a week or so. This girl needs self-respect. All she loves is Krans looks, there is nothing else her feelings are stemming from. I roll my eyes every time she is so "heartbroken"...

And Rin will betray Dao. I think we all know it. She'll turn evil soon because she fell for Kran.

I know Dao will feel guilty/bad when the truth is revealed later but I hope she will remember that everything that happened started with Kran and his horrible family.

Oh wow, he didn't cross my mind but yes!! I think he'll do great

All I can say is... really, Pong, really?

And is anyone else super frustrated how they just don't tell Bow everything? I mean, they actually are giving Baitong and Pong an opportunity to manipulate Bow by keeping things from her. Yes, sure, Bows family want to take things slow but tell her the main points, damn it! Pong slept with Nee multiple times even when he was trying to win Bow back and Baitong tried to harm Nee and Bow on many occasions - thats all they could tell her so Bow could guard herself.

And I get that Nee is scared of cray cray Baitong but girl, just tell everyone what your stupid plan was so people can actually handle this...

I hope this whole amnesia thing is over soon. Though I slightly enjoyed the more romantic interactions between Tos and Bow, I would have prefered it, if she was sober when they had them.  And this whole fake pregnancy thing... how is that a better idea than telling her the truth? I thought they would have learned from their past mistakes...

Yeah I know :)
I'll mail them tomorrow since I didn't receive the link yet :)

They have also received a DMCA from CH3, so they will stop subbing for now. According to them, CH3 is trying to sell their Lakorns outside Thailand, so they are now contacting fansub teams to take down their videos. I guess it will be difficult to find subs for CH3 Lakorns for the time being.

Yeah, I know her mom believes her but I really don't like it that she doesn't defend Bow in the most crucial moments. She always let everyone trample on Bow and afterwards she says she believes in Bow. Thats why I said she tries at least. :)

And yes, Bow won't marry him. She doesn't have any reason to. She actually doesn't need to care about Vees well-being, but she does for Tos. Even though he is behaving like an idiot as well.

This lakorn should be called "How to force things on & abuse an innocent young woman".

I can't believe they actually still insist that Bow is doing something shameful when Pong tried to rape her... like dont they learn??? Bow needs to pack her bags and leave everyone behind to find people who actually care for and love her. Mom at least tries but everyone else is pushing her around like she is some kind of toy. I don't think Bow really plans to marry Pong. I think she will leave secretly once Vee is better.

Pong is just disgusting. I never thought I'd say this but Vee is too good for him. I'm really wondering why Bow was even dating this trash and why Vee is so obsessed with him. He is a whiney loser who is full of lust. If he really loves Bow, he would have never cheated on her or at least he wouldn't cause all this trouble for her just because he is a selfish a**hole.

Wow. I'm only on episode 3 and my blood is boiling. Bow is surrounded by people that don't listen to or believe her. I feel sorry for her. She gets bad treatment because people are selfish and toxic.

I was feeling sick when her parents were crying because they wronged her but they rather believe someone who lied to them instead of bringing their daughter back home.

Pong is just an idiot. He should have left Bow alone from the moment he betrayed her.

And Tos is such a hypocrite. He wants to protect his sister by hurting and abusing a woman who is actually the victim of all of them. He pretends to be the good guy while he is doing horrible things and justifies it by "doing it for his sick sister" - like wtf?

I really hope for a good redemption arc - for all of them. They all should really see how terribly they treated someone who didn't even do anything. And Tos needs to see all the snakes in his life. Damn boy has not one good woman around him. They all lie and cheat and manipulate him.

I really hope that GEF will soon realize that he is not the only one who has lost someone. I understand how difficult all this was for him, he lost the love of his life, but in the end it was a tragic accident from which everyone suffered terribly.

Lu Yue Yue loved her little sister to the moon and back - she would not want GEF to do something like that to her. All this should have ended 6 years ago and GEF should stay out of FN's life now. He got his revenge back then even though I personally don't think that this revenge was justified. It is time to let go - and I hope that he does let go and does not (in the last 4 episodes) continue to try to destroy the person that Yue Yue loved the most. She would certainly not want that...

Wow. Max's mother is amazing. I get it - she thinks she has to protect her son and yes, Max is in a very bad situation, but come on... the guy cheated his whole marriage and Aim has forgiven him over and over again. Now that she's single, she deserves a good man who treats her with respect and love... so why the hell is Max's mother trying to find excuses for her son's shitty behaviour and trying to blame Aim for the divorce? Lady, your son ruined his own marriage! He cheated on Aim with her "sister" and got her pregnant - even IF Aim had had an affair just before the divorce (which is not the case), it doesn't change the fact that this marriage went downhill the moment Max became a habitual cheater and his mother treated Aim as if she was the problem! Just sit down, lady, and take care of the karma aka Nim that your family now enjoys.

I won't say much about Nim. I think we all agree about this woman.

I was so amazed how Thien had tears in his eyes every time he realised how much Muey loved him all these years. Mew & Mark were really the best choice for this lakorn <3

Like really, the main problem is that Thien apparently freezes as soon as it gets serious and Muey assumes Thien would never really love her. My heart broke when they had this talk in episode 12, where Muey told him he doesn’t know anything about her. Especially the part when she said that he wanted a perfect wife and that he was still looking for that woman - even when he was already married to Muey since he never wanted to marry her. I wanted him to deny it but I also knew that she was right, and that hurt a lot.

Right, she never thought that Thien would ever reciprocate her feelings and I’m 100% sure that she would have never marry Thien against his will if his life wasn’t threatened back then. She was prepared to leave him from the day they got married but his actions confused her more and more in the end. And again, a lot of things happened - I can imagine that Muey also fears that their love can’t last if they are back to their normal life. At the bottom line, Thien needs to tell and show Muey he loves her and he wants to spend his life her and Muey needs to speak her mind and trust him more.

I do get his feelings but he really left Muey alone with her thoughts and feelings there, which made her even more insecure about Thien’s feelings for her. I know he felt guilty and I understand he couldn’t face her right away but cutting her off completely was a wrong signal. But still it is more than understandable that he was just completely overwhelmed with his feelings once he got to know that Muey almost died for him. That’s a lot to digest and we also saw in what horrible condition he was when he left Muey.

Muey’s mom said that Muey is really stubborn and headstrong and if she decided on something she barely changes her mind. I can imagine this is what happened? After all, I think Muey’s mom is more of the supportive type where she lets Muey decide and simply follows her decision. And yes, I thought Muey would go to study abroad and then return and get back with Thien and that’s how their twins are born. But well, it seems that those two are not meant to be apart at all. It’s been a long time since I was enjoying a lakorn that much. I think the last one was Kleun Cheewit - which is a different genre though. But I really like how lighthearted and adorable MHIL is. Let’s hope that they wrap up the break up really fast and that we get some lovely episode with them. I was happy when they finished Pon Det that fast, so I think maybe they will do the same for the next episode.

Seriously, I’m so happy that they didn’t pull this “Oh I have always been in love with Muey but didn’t realize it”-thing on us! It was believable that Thien would slowly fall for Muey since it was the first time he really got to know Muey. Really well done!

I already feel empty for my Mondays & Tuesdays… I will miss this a lot T.T

I'm watching it on Muse, but their website is only open to members (if other members read this, correct me if I'm wrong).

But apparently dimsum will have all episodes

I deliberately watched episode 13 before answering you, because we usually get a lot of answers in the second episode of the week :D

Yes, Thien has to suffer a little bit. I can't believe how incredibly difficult it is for him to tell her that he loves her. But after episode 13 I understand at least in part why Thien didn't run to Muey immediately to tell her how much he loves her after he learned that she almost died for him in episode 1: The guilt must have been overwhelming. He always felt like he was doing Muey a "favor" by being with her. He treated her badly even though he knew her feelings for him. Even when the two of them were actually already a couple, they hardly communicated and he never asked her what she wanted and just assumed that his needs were her needs too. Now that he knows what Muey has done for him, it was just too much for him to take at once. That's why I thought it was really good that he wanted to give her the space she asked for. BUT to tell her that he didn't want any contact with her was a bad move. Because that's exactly what she didn't want from him - he was only thinking by himself and didn't ask her what she actually wants. What she wanted was distance, but she wanted contact just to get both their feelings clear. But then again Muey is also not fully speaking her mind. Both got hurt in the past few episodes. It's a classic example of lack of communication I think. Aunt Pajit is an angel though <3

"Fortunately" the writers have chosen the only way I can accept that Muey is not studying in the US - if she had stayed just for Thien, it would have been quite disappointing. Now that the situation is as it is, you can understand why she stayed in Thailand. The acting in this episode was so good by Mark, Mew and also the other characters! I was emotionally involved from the beginning to the end.

I can't believe that we only have 2 episodes left - what am I going to watch when this Lakorn is over? T.T
I really enjoy it! It's not perfect, but it's so entertaining that I don't even notice how the 90 minutes go by...

PS: You were right about someone getting hurt in episode 12! I immediately thought about our conversation last week :D

Thank god Pon Dets story is over and I'm so happy for Yada - she deserves happiness. Yes, she did annoying things in the beginning but she learnt to love and value herself. Great character development here!

As for Muey asking for a divorce: I do get where she is coming from. A lot of stuff happened during their fake marriage and maybe she fears that Thien is just going for the heat of the moment instead of thinking things through. Plus it's true that he barely knows Muey the way he should if he wants to spend his life with her. They both deserve a dating period to get to know each other as a couple. So having a divorce and a clean cut to their fake marriage doesn't sound that bad to me.

I also support Muey to study abroad because girl has potential and to just let her waste that, feels unfair to me. (But well, it's a lakorn and everytime I wanted Muey to go, it never happened... ^^'). BUT for me going to study abroad does not equal a break up. I mean Thiens family is super rich, he surely can afford a plane ticket to visit his girlfriend. And last time I checked the US had great WIFI connection so they can stay in contact. It's really weird that in dramaland they go for a break up near the end because one of them goes abroad (I also read an article about those types of tropes on MDL a few days ago).

Honorable mentions for episode 12: I just love how badass Thiens family is! Mom saying that if Pon Det hurts Thien/Muey she will destroy his whole lineage was like the best line ever and P'Rit was such an amazing big brother - I have a special place in my heart für P'Rit & P'Mon anyways <3

Looking forward to episode 13 :)
