It's really nice to see an editorial on a lakorn. It's a site for discussing Asian dramas and yet, most articles revolve around Korean and Chinese dramas. Also, what are the odds.. I just finished Khun Chai Puddhipat a few days ago and I hated it with a passion. HAHA. I've only seen Dhevaprom: Dujupsorn and Dhevaprom: Kwanruetai from the sequels. Both were decent. I plan to watch the others. Thank you for such a detailed review. I really enjoyed reading it, and will definitely re-visit it after I watch the rest.
Netflix never fails to disappoint me in renewing crappy shows and pushing actually good and original stories to the dustbin. I guess this will never get a 2nd season :(
Great tearjerker drama overall. The only thing I dont like is how there is no remorse shown in her cheating. Like…
She did feel bad, but it wasn't important at that time because he, too, rejected her the moment he found out about her illness. So even if she didn't cheat, they stood little chance together.
"So Baek Ho is a person with a DEADLY SMILE👹, a SOFT VOICE 🤬, and DIVINE VISUALS👤🦠, as though he were…
HAHAA your profile actually made me laugh. I'm pretty sure most people probably view others profiles countless times but don't admit it. I"m guilty of it too. You're honest.
I would have loved this if I watched it back in 2013 when I was less critical as a viewer. This drama was revolutionary for its time, and had a great blend of action, romance and sci-fi which was thriling in parts and rare for an Asian drama. Unfortunately, this remains true even today. But since I am watching it with today's lenses, I can't help but be critical. After watching and loving over a dozen of Kimura Takuya's dramas, I finally found one drama of his that I would say isn't A1. The premise, effects, and action sequences were ambitious, but there were elements that were not fleshed out well enough for an average viewer to understand, repetitiveness, and a lack of concise direction to the plot. Despite that, I just couldn't drop it because I was intrigued by the unpredictability of what would happen next, and how it would end. As with most J dramas, there was a humane-ness to the story that moved me, and there were some interesting characters that kept me engaged. This would have been a stronger drama if it had lesser episodes, and more compact writing and direction. I can't help but feel Kimura Takuya and Shibasaki Kou were wasted in this though they were the best part of the drama. Having said all that, I wouldn't discourage people from giving this a try. It is worth watching.

Nadech is another level of eye candy in this drama, probably the best he's looked.
Hope it will be good.
I can understand why the FL fell in love with the ML, I would too!

I am glad my profile resonated with you.
Hope you have a good weekend ahead :)
