I think they have had enough of the female-transmigrated-to-ancient-time trope.
The powerful ML pretend-to-be-weak-man trope is rising instead. 🤣

Finally, Ito Sairi got her role as FL. Truly FL, after years of fighting as a side and supporting character.

This is their 2nd collaboration as FL and ML. They are both popular celebrities. But James Ji's popularity is on another level since he is a male actor.

Currently, no. I guess Ep 1 is not that essential since we can still get the backstory in Ep 2. There are quite many flashbacks in 2nd Ep.

the agreement consists of 3 yrs contract relationship. it will expire in one month though. that's why Jiu Shi agrees to comply with Fang Jie's request. It's only for one month. that contract is like a pain in my ass of Su Jin and her manager. lol. If they breach the agreement it will result in heavy damage.

haha. as far I remember they had been in one frame together even before Plerng Bin Bai Ngiew. Peak was used to play a protagonist and suddenly I saw her in Plerng Bin Bai Ngiew as the antagonist, it was very weird too.

I like the show is not draggy. As far I remember, the CEO and Su Jin were in a contract relationship for the CEO's benefit. As the new leader of his inherited corporation, he gets pressure to build an image as a capable man. In Mu Family, like any conventional family out there, the perfect image of a man is having a stable career, a stable family / (romantic) relationship. Even his mother urges him to marry. But the worse is his uncle who always questions his capability to lead the company and as an heir to Mu family.
Thus, to ease the Mu family, he forges a secret fake relationship with aspirant actress, Su Jin.
When Su Jin seems to have feelings for someone, things are out of control. Being in a fake relationship must be agonizing for her. But it's not clear who is the guy whom she falling for. (I'm pretty sure he is not the CEO)
After Su Jin disappeared, Su Jiu Shi was forced to replace her sister by Su Jin's manager for the time being. After all, she has one month left until the contract relationship expires.
People may confuse why SJS who is reluctant to play a fake Su Jin and plans to leave after one month (or as soon as possible) insist on extending the contract relationship with the CEO. She thinks it will be beneficial for Su Jin because all this time the CEO's company is the main sponsor of mostly her activities in showbiz.

I think the only hindrance to enjoy this drama is the bad Eng sub. I believe they will edit it later, but it takes time. I encourage you too keep watching because this is a good drama, pretty watchable, less angsty, kinda hilarious, fluffy sweet romance that won't make you diabetic.
I love to seeing FL with all of her adorable wardrobe. She looks gorgeous with anything on her body. The stylist of this drama is so cool!

The engsubs may horrible (still in machine translation mode) but the storyline is pretty good.

less angsty lakorn, romcom, lovely couple:
all the The Cupid Series, most of them have amazing scripts and hilarious
Jao Sao Jum Yorm
Sapai Import
Poo Bao Indy Yayee Inter

I'll add more if I remember other similar lakorns...

gosh..Paeng and Trai are made for each other. I wish they stay out of our main couple. lol

please don't hesitate, this is a good drama

Lately they played as a couple in Lipgloss Detective

No. It's not like that. The twin has good relationship.

Tencent often drops short dramas without notice whereas they post an announcement for regular drama months before it really gets released.

actually they posted the wrapped trailer months ago, perhaps last year, I forgot. now they have just released the official trailer

She is indeed quite straightforward. I have mixed feeling about it. As she is a person who had experienced a lot of life and fleeting time, it's understandable if she only has eyes for nothing but her goals. She can only cherish the present time as the future is unpredictable.
