Cute
That was extremely cute and lovely but sadly it was a bit draggy, specially in the latter episodes.The premise is adorable and very Manga-like, so if you like innocent and pure love stories, you are in for a treat.
However it had its fair share of cliché moments and the very stereotypical arcs in every love story ever existed.
I will not say much about it because compared to these things it was more enjoyable and full of swooning moments.
I believe the negative side is the age difference or to be specific the FL being still in high school, but if you actually watch it, you will understand that there is nothing icky about it, and both characters were too pure and innocent. You won't even think about their age.

My God, how draggy was it ~
This started off really great, nice balance between her perspective and his to start telling the story right from the beginning, their first encounter and how everyone's life got entangled.Nice crime, great whodunit, romance too is fantastic and characters are great.
But for me it should have ended at ep 23 with ep24 them catching the bad guy and ending everything related to the drugs case and the crime case.
İt needn't be 40 episodes at all, I got bored and wanted everything to end.
I would still recommend it because it was well done, but I wouldn't blame anyone for dropping it half way~

Rich man. Poor woman.
If cliché was a series.I have to admit that unconventional Cinderella love stories are not my cup of tea, and I'd rather watch a sloth while listening to nails on board.
This one is one of those dramas that doesn't make any sense and you just watch them as guilty pleasure.
Not saying it's bad, it's actually ok, ML is handsome, sweet all the way, totally green flag. FL is innocent, weak but still stand up for herself and very successful if given a chance.
Story is simple, poor girl rich man who is like a genie that solves her problems and cure her trauma, of course accept all her flaws while having none whatsoever.
What I didn't like was ... All of the above, you really have to have no brains while watching, cause it'd only make sense to a zombie, why the ML loves her so much, why the others hate the FL so much, why all that bad luck, how the trauma that lasted years was cured in 30 seconds and how come the ML does all that for someone he only saw for exactly 10 mins and doesn't even know, man how come he actually remembers, if I saw my distant cousin I'd probably not remember her, nor even her name ~
However, it's not entirely bad, there are a few things that were nice, like the FL has good clothes this time, no one attire for the whole show thing, ML has some mean suit brooches and the ML is easy on the eye so it's not entirely bad.
He reminds me of someone that I can't remember xD but he looks familiar and this is the first time I've seen him in anything so it gotta be someone else ~~

Short and fast-paced
While I like the two leads but this was a Strong FL X Strong ML duo in a very short and not very original story, so overall skipable and unimpressive.But that is what the whole vertical dramas is about, a very compact story that is shown in a very short time with acceptable acting and good-looking cast.
And that's exactly what it delivers.
Was I entertained? Yes, will I suggest it? No.
Simply because there are better ones out there and a little too many to pick from so skip it unless you don't really care about logic ~

I loved it, it's definitely an upgrade compared to other lakorns I've seen, of course it follows the same path miscommunications, manhandling, slap/kiss, and of course over the top acting from the evil characters.
I have so many things I didn't like about it but I'll just state why this was different in a good way because what I complain about is the standard for every Thai lakorn and I can't just break the system.
First I love the chemistry between the leads, despite the controversial premise, I believe the ML is a nice guy, with questionable behaviour yes, but still deep down he is nice, the FL is just too stubborn and quite a hypocrite because she doesn't believe the ml nor trust him while she hides a billion secret, manipulate her family and somehow everyone loves her and forgives her because she is a victim, I agree on the latter but that doesn't give her a free pass to do whatever she wants.
That been said I loved their flaws, because that makes them believable, yes insufferable in some scenes but still it's a nice escape from the "perfect leads" that I've been seeing in other shows so I liked that.
Another thing is the pace, yes the story is quite stretched and too many repeated moments but it's not boring and I only skipped the FL friend's scenes cause it's boring and the evil characters scenes because I don't think I can watch them without laughing.
I believe I also liked the flirty ML Vs the angry cat FL in the mid and late episodes, where there is less angst, manhandling, forced back hugs, and more side eyes and throwing things at the cheesy flirty ML playfully.
That been said, I generally liked this show and I'm definitely recommending it for lakorn lovers ~

I came across this drama by chance, now that I know who the ML is, back then I didn't know any vertical drama actors, and I found that scene here xD.
It was the scene after their first night and I now understand why she liked it lol CTK has no business being this adorable xD and tbh out of all the actors I come across he is probably one of the least likely to act shy and innocent xD somehow funny too ~
But hats off to the FL that I don't know yet sadly, for being this funny, she literally carried the whole show because the story was so slow tbh and I generally wasn't a fan, but the two leads deserve praise ~

It's a family drama about loss, struggles and love, I don't know if I can call it slice of life but it's about life in general.
I loved all characters, I don't understand the severe animosity between the daughter and the mother in the beginning but I believe it's how they wrote the daughter's character, hence the rudeness.
I like how it ended with everyone overcoming their problems and moving on from their trauma, that been said it's slightly sugar coated, which is great but unrealistic a little xD but I'm glad they ended it this way, they all deserve to live happily.
I loved the Aunt "seon young" and Tae Oh and I felt really sorry for him in the beginning being the completely unwanted person everywhere, trying to fit in but struggling to, I wish they had explored their relationship earlier so that we can see some of their happiness. I believe the actors can't shoot intimate scenes like kissing, so they played it safe but I wish they casted a bit younger actors so that they'd be more comfortable showing some romance on screen. However, I believe they did an amazing job so I'm not really complaining I'm just sharing some thoughts.
Aside from that there is nothing much to write home about, if you life family dramas about overcoming struggles and being optimistic go for it, it's well done, and don't forget the tissue box if you are sensitive ~

First I have to say this gives a huge "old school Japanese BL" vibes, where your heart goes "Kyun" whenever the leads even look at each other lovingly, so this definitely for old school watcher or the younger audience who appreciates the light fluffy shy romance, aside from that, you definitely gonna get pissed off ~~
But despite having my "Kyun" moments I also had my "bloody hell" moments too, the interruptions were a tad too many here, I was watching while thinking "ok something is gonna happen now" ... *Thunder strikes* ... "See, I knew it" It gave me trauma, I believe they were cursed or something but I'm glad it ended well ~~
Yui was a king lol he had a very VERY huge and annoying bad timing problems and I give him credit for almost 80% of the interventions between the leads the other 20% is the teacher lol but him and Mikoto are like the audience who want to nudge the leads a bit to get closer ~~
Generally, it's a good one, but be prepared for some "screen punching" moments ~~

The FL is a powerful lady that doesn't take love seriously and spend her time toying around men because of past trauma then she meets the innocent pure younger ML who is obsessed with sharks then his purity somehow slaps her Into realising that there is love irl you just have to meet the right one.
Cliché, but cute and nice to waste time between chores or something, just don't expect anything special from it.
It's a simple FL traumatized ~ meets ML ~ help her through her trauma ~ they fall in love and boom happy ending.
You shouldn't take it seriously because of you did you will find out that the two leads are not in any way compatible with each other, I prefer him with his junior because they actually fits together, but he has nothing in common at all with the FL I believe the writer also agree hence the childhood meeting and first love addition ~
That been said it's short and light and that's it, nothing to write home about ~

And this drama is a realistic example, it shows how an affair can destroy lifes and no one would win at the end, so this drama as a story is realistic and nice though I still think they glamorized affairs and you'd be fine as long as you do your homework, be a good nice wife/husband and not get caught.
I don't fully agree with the comment saying that it's hard for eastern people to divorce, well yes it's difficult but that's the only solution, affair isn't and that's what they actually did at the end, what I think is better as a solution is talking to each other, if you went to the point of marriage then you know that person or understand him, at least love him a little, there gotta be some kind of attachment to that person to marry him -if that's not the case then you can't complain about anything you are not even living anymore, just get a divorce or suck it up- that's why you should talk your problems out, fix it, go to a couple therapy or try something, try to solve it using your mind, you chose that person to continue your life with then try hard to make it work, and if it didn't work, don't go making stupid and irrational decisions, it won't help.

Slow in the beginning, then it grows on you till it gets draggy
We have 3 stories about 3 women struggling through life, I think only two are considered interesting IMO, because Na Jeong's story is half of the married wives' life story, they literally had noththing to add so the created this whole work harassment idea to keep them going.At first I was so interested in Ju Yeong, because asexual husband??? That's new, but actually he isn't asexual, he had childhood trauma that developed some sort of paraphilia/objectophilia and the whole thing revolves around one big ass miscommunication issue, and dare I say some sort of pretending or cheating before marriage because how come she doesn't know anything about that, but we don't know anything about their backst6how they got together and how long have they been married for, so we can just talk about what they show.
Be that as it may I also found Il Ri story also interesting but still slightly like a fairytale.
The positive and also negative thing about it is that the story start from the middle, the leads are already in relationships and going, so we don't know the back story of how they got to that point but at the same time that's the whole point ~
I genuinely enjoyed most of it, I have to admit that I skipped all the harassment parts, also after Il Ri Had her Happy end, I skipped some scenes because from ep9 to 12 there is nothing but holding a secret that eventually got out and didn't change the happy end anyway, for Ju Yeong and her husband they made the whole thing too complicated while it can be solved with a heart to heart conversation which is weird that they didn't do that before considering that they are in love and married ~
Na Jeong's story, I don't know what to say about it, her husband is actually a weird guy, he completely ignore his own family's problems and spent his life being a busybody, without even coming clear about everything with his wife.
The main thing that this show lacked was the romance, you can't discuss family and relationships matter when there is no romance between the couple, with exception of Il Ri, the other two did not show any intimacy not romantic attachments to their husbands which is weird considering that they are married already ~
That been said it wasn't bad, but not that great either, if you like mature people shows about life in general with a happy end despite everything then this show is perfect for you ~~

I forgot how much I loved this show ~
After the second part, and after announcing this sequel I decided that I won't watch it because I had my closure and the HE in the second part already, and despite having some loose ends here and there, they were not enough to tempt me to watch what happens next.That been said, when I found out that it's actually the beginning of everything, a sequel that is telling the story of what happened before the first part, their meeting and how everything starts I was excited tbh~
Now about this sequel, it is as great as it can get, the thing is, you see it with a different eye since you already know what is going to happen and that everything will be alright sooner or later.
There is no mystery or anything, you just enjoy the moments happening between the two leads and how they slowly fall in love as spirits.
Personally, I think this is the best part out of the trilogy, despite being an original work and not in the source material, but it have the same feeling of the first 2 parts that you won't tell the difference, and because as I said we know what will happen, I wasn't really scared that something is going to happen, or that they'll surprise us with anything.
I love the two main characters, their interactions are the best and has some comical side too, I can watch them together forever, partially because the awkward panicking FL X calm and composed ML is one of my favourite tropes, also the two leads chemistry was spectacular, they just look good together and they also fit their roles like a glove.
I wanted to keep my review short, but obviously I couldn't, because this was really amazing and I've enjoyed it so much~~
it reminded me of how I felt when I watched the first 2 parts and how much I enjoyed them, I remember having some stuff that I couldn't stomach so I opted for not rewatching the whole thing all over and just enjoy these short 3 episodes and call it a day.
Highly recommended part, this is by far the only one that didn't piss me off somehow, cause no cliffhanger ends, no loose ends, simply a very light and cute short story that if you - like me- liked the first 2 parts, you will definitely love this one ~~

I don't think I'm mature enough for this xD
I've seen my fair share of BLs but this... 😂 LolNow I couldn't watch without laughing and face palming, every few seconds, I was much worse than the fujos on the train with them, also I couldn't help but getting confused at Umeda San for having a beard all the time but once in the second or third ep I believe, he was cleanly shaven lol
What was going on, people? İs that an advertisement or something? XD
İt was fun, I admit but also very cringe in a funny way, the idea of being like that in public, the girls reaction was legit.
Now I don't know if this has a sequel or a remake but being me I'd definitely watch it 😂👍

Cute, but not funny
I love the main couple, specially MeiMei she is adorable, the thing is they always pick the worst stories.I've watched 3 of their dramas together and in all 3 the story was bad, however, the chemistry was great.
Here is not exception, I didn't find anything funny about it, the side story about the brother was boring and the FL despite being cute as always, I didn't find her funny here, also I didn't like the ML here, I don't know if it was the character or what exactly but I just didn't like him.
So if you like the two leads only and want to see them together in anything, just give it a go, but don't expect too much ~

Perfect if they tuned down the sadness a little bit
I knew this was a melodrama before I started it, yet I wished they lighten up a little bit.It needn't be this sad, and not in the bawling your eyes out way, but the too unnecessary drama type.
Like the last 2 episodes were too heavy and even with happy end you'll feel bitter.
The Ex-girlfriend is the bitchest bitch I've ever seen in any drama, recently at least... She is the worst of the worst, I believe this character has a specific place in the deepest point in hell.
Good god I wanted to slap her so much, and this idiot if a FL was so nice, like, mate... Can you just release your freaking inner demon or something and throw something solid at her!!
I feel aggrieved for the FL because of this bitch, the freaking audacity... That's the main reason I'll never rewatch this drama, I don't want to see her.
Aside from that I loved it, the characters were not the best, I loved the ML the most and I mean DoHyun, since there are many leads, the brother is annoying and immature, the father is the one I feel sorry for the most, the FL was too complicated, her BFF /colleague is also annoying, I didn't like her on some scenes, specially in the beginning.
So mostly the characters were not the best, but I have to admit the flawed characters made the story better, they are humans and actually I'd take that over a fairytale-like characters.
That been said I don't thing it was a great masterpiece, but a nice watch maybe if you are into sad family dramas you can give it a try.
