Sawan Biang - for a good well-rounded story with strong, complex characters, and some of the best acting in a lakorn. Many people condemn it for the rape / violence but miss the bigger picture that its a rare lakorn that does not romanticise the lead's behaviour. It's a lakorn I recommend for the acting, story and character development. Satisfying from the start till the end.

Luk Mai Klai Ton (2000) - For a beautiful romance, where the ML and FL actually communicate, and respect each other. Also for complex yet real characters, that explores human relationship and connection. A rare lakorn that feels very real.

Ugly Duckling (Perfect Match) - For a beautiful, cute love story of friends to lovers, without any evil characters. Pure sweetness and heart.

Love Destiny - for a family-orientated story with great passion, romance, comedy & time travel.

WTF the FL at E17. Until the dad was alive, she spoke about giving up her own life for him and now that he's dead, she just wants to ignore everything that is going on and says shit like she has detached herself from the family. Talk about ungratefulness and horrible character development.
In a span of 2 episodes I went from not caring much about her to disliking her.

Last episode. The mistress was the one made out to be the only villain while the father was conveniently made into a saint just because he reconciled with the son before his death. The father was equally to blame because he cheated, and left his wife & son. Singkorn, too, blamed everything on her when he was equally in all this.

WTF. This drama had a lot of potential that just went down the drain.

I was invested thanks to the lead actor. I would not recommend it because it never quite got to the revenge. We were promised something dark in the first few episodes but this was rather mild. The FL was OK for most part but became unbearable in the last few episodes with her stupidity and ignorance. Leads had good chemistry but by the end, I didn't care. The other characters were rather one-note and their acting was so-so.
All in all, the ML and good OST is what kept this show going.
I feel like I wasted my time. IMO 7.8 is a rather generous rating for this show.

E16. Agree with the comments; FL is stupid. Previously, she was naive but now with things before her, she still chooses to believe the villains instead of what she truly knows.
Just have to bear it for 2 more episodes thank goodness.

I'm only at E13, and I have to say this. I don't think the FL is stupid. She's naive, and she willingly devotes herself to the family that saved her. Nothing wrong with that. Also, some people just want to live in suffering instead of taking a stand because that is safe for them. She's way better than the FLs in 90% of the lakorns (low standard, i know).
The character who is actually stupid is the father. How the hell does he manage such a big business if he's so easily manipulated. Also, he's seen Nai being abused by the mother multiple times but just lets the abuse continue to happen and act like he truly loves and cares for Nai, and continues to live with the wife.

So far, this drama is ok. I have not been bored, and that's rare for a lakorn. With 5 more episodes to go, I hope they get to the real action soon because that's what we're here for. If only this drama was more tight-scripted, it would be great.

Bad Romeo day! YAY!

Singapore :)

I have seen both. Got any others?

Can someone recommend me more Thai dramas like this where the leads separate in the first few episodes & reconcile after years?

I've not been this excited for a Thai drama in a LONGG time. Can't wait for the next episode. Yaya & Mario are killing it in this show.. how the hell have they never been paired up before this?!

Thank you! :)
Need to update this list.. haven't been on this site since forever!

Nojima Shinji needs to come back with another solid drama. He’s one of my fav screenwriters <3

She’s probably the only actress who doesn’t have a single bad drama. They’re all a MUST WATCH! She’s got great script choice :)
Byakuyako, Tengoku to Jigoku & JIN are my personal favourites from her though.

Just watch Takane No Hana. You’ll see why she isn’t just a pretty face but has some brilliant acting chops as well :)

Re-watched this after years since it’s on Netflix. And man, Satomi’s character broke my heart all over again. I felt so much pain for her when she cried.
I don’t want to give the story away, but this is a must watch for a mature audience that can take real, complex & flawed characters that don’t make the most moral decisions. This was an A1 drama with brilliant acting, story, direction, score & cinematography all around.

I don’t think this was a bad drama per se. There was an effort made clearly in the attention to the detail, the various characters & how this was kinda tight scripted. But at the end of the day, major reasons as to why they entered into the time loop in the first place or even the entire purpose behind the time loop were not even explained & that made me very unsatisfied as a viewer.
Nonetheless, this is definitely one of the better modern C dramas out there. I’d recommend it for the good acting & direction.

It’s weird you replied me because I started watching this recently haha

Currently watching IOTNBO and her voice is so sexy. She pulls off all those outfits beautifully. Also did I mention that she can really act!! New fangirl here.

Just the cheese I needed :)
