I liked the story and cared about it. Didn't mind the 2 back to back time jumps or the last episode's cute spending time together in the pool in Pjs. It was cute.
The story was well handled. i was skeptical that they are gonna expect me to excuse Tae Hyun's jerk behavior in the beginning by showing a scarred background and a "psychological" tag. But thank God they didn't. They let him redeem himself.
I think no matter how painful someone's background is, them giving back the pain to other innocent people can't be explained away. It can be seen from their pov, but not condoned with. Therefore, when Ta hyeon so cruelly rejected Da yeol out of fear of abandonment Da Yeol's not just taking that crap and still be clingy with him, instead leaving him allowing him the time to figure his stuff made the show and Ta hyeon's arc complete.
He needed to be able to forgive and love himself to love and trust others and have a healthy relationship. The show gave him that time.
Even when after the first leap they got together TH didn't directly commit to loving Dy, instead asked him for time. And DY allowed that. This was amazing. Many 16 episode bg dramas will not show this kind of understanding, realization, acceptance, respect and communication between couples. Like please no one has the ability to heal you accept yourself. And no one should be blamed for not putting up with your cruel behavior because you have a past trauma. You may not deserve penalizing depending on the gravity of your doing, but constantly being forgiven and put up with... nope. Hence, I liked the writing a lot.
Their chemistry was cute like 2 band mates 🥰
And I just can't get over how beautiful Kim Jae Han is 😍
p.s. I wish Won kyung a life of living in mom's basement with no girlfriend and no job and no future.
Absofockinglutely loved it and majorly offended by the short airing time. Though it didn't anyway affect the effect of the show. The credit goes to the whole production. To be able to tell a lovely story like this without any trace of incompleteness or rushedness is a feat in itself. Had it had at least 8-12 45 minute episodes, the characters and their situations could have got scope to be fleshed out more with more endearing moments. The chemistry between the leads was just fire. The way they looked at each other was pure desire. (ooh! the fire on fire song will be perfect for an fmv of this show😍)Eui Soo's eyes are so beautiful, reminds me of Seo Kang Joon. And Han Gi Chan looks a bit like Kim Yung Dae.
I honestly came really close to changing my username to "Fourth Nattawat's smiles" (cos he has a repository) while watching the second time but stopped for the sake of "Nanon's Dimple" and "Khao's Flirtbling". Prolly will go for a combo.
Cos that's art💯💖 Have you seen Your name engraved herein?
Oh I ll definitely wacth it. My reason for postponing it has been the story showing real life situation of a relationship like theirs in a time like that. Love fictitious sad endings but a total wuss abt real life sadness portrayed onscreen. It's on my to watch list. 🙂
Having to wait for ohmnanon for 1 more month is just the toughest trial of my patience. 😭😭😭 At least release their trailer so i can watch that 900 times a day and be in ohmnanon coma till then🥺
The girl trying to sell antique is like, it comes from "Chinese" (not song, not tang) dynasty, it's Chinese. That's 2 deets ima tell you about this stuff.
“She kept forgiving you because she was willing to, not because you are special. She is an iron fist in a velvet glove”
I enjoyed it while cringing through it. In spite of its typically Lakorn trashy tropes i.e., toxic masculinity, rape (marital), 0 understanding of consent, misogyny, etc., and yes, insertion of the very unconvincing and dumb plot convenient coincidences.
Why I liked it?
The primary reason is Mark-Mew and their amazefocking acting and chemistry. I have always been a Mark fan since the first time I saw him in Kleun Cheewit. But Mew’s acting chops hit me like a pleasant whiplash here. For me she was always there in a drama before this, but here she’s one of the strongest reasons that made the drama what it is for me.
Moei’s character could’ve easily been the most irritating without Mew’s playing it with so much nuance. After all Moei is a very smart, conniving and manipulative stalker girl with low self-value and an unhealthy obsession with a man. Coul you tell?
Thian is a non-stereotypical jerk and Mark is great at playing both ahole and adorable and everything else with the same charm.
The second thing that I like about this show is how the female characters (even if few) are not completely cliche.
The screenplay does seem like drafted by a potentially talented writer but then revised and edited by one of the antiquated great grandfathers of Lakorn industry scriptwriting. So i keep getting glimpses of how amazing the female characters could’ve been in the drama had they been let to develop non-stunted by the ancient tropes like crazy over man, girls gossiping and banding together against another girl over man, no restrictions on what to wear but policing over how to behave for girls, etc. you know the usual misogyny.
Like Moei’s character. She has agency over her decisions from beginning to end except for some time in the middle when Thian holds her hostage and then leaves her upon mom revealing the truth behind Moe’s fear of drowning. And I was like, dude she asked you for divorce, not disappearance. But then again the rein was given back in Moe’s hand until the end. Truly it was Tien who had been in a helpless situation all those times he was living with Moe after marrying her. He didn’t wanna marry and then when he wanted to stay with Moei she wanted a divorce. The fictitious pms mood-swing has nothing on my girl. And I loved seeing Tien’s face every time he discovered that he knows nothing about Moe and is totally cornered by her. Like: Tien: She is a simpleminded girl. Moe: Has been stalking her since school days. (and finally succeeds to have him give her his kidney voluntarily) Tien: She’s so dumb he he, Moe: hacks the whole office database. Tien: Don’t be so cruel to me, teerak. Moe: P’Tien you totally made me drunk and … so you don’t have to pay the money. Who you calling cruel, huh?! Girl is savage. ANd when Thian cant fight her with brains he cribs, sulks, emotionally hurts her, r8pes her, mia’s from her life to naval gaze and grows baby facial hair.
Yada is my favorite character tho. She’s the antithesis of a Nangrai. Her situation was difficult to watch, squashed between a monster husband and a greedy selfish father. She clung on to the guy who she believed could rescue her out of her abusive marriage. But eventually she realized that She is the only person she could rely on.
Thian’s mother, though overbearing with her interference in her son’s life (it’s an asian thing) was a total darling with Moei and was the one to make Moei’s dream/plan come true and supported her throughout.
Moei’s mom is the mom every kid dream of. She’s like, girl, live your life or ruin it, your decision, will not meddle, just be beside you. Sometimes a lil too much of this attitude.
The story overall is not that good but it was made worth watching and enjoying because of these reasons.
Okay, those constant bouts of poetry diarrhea while Tien was plotting to make Moei his, by way of all the nasty, filthy tricks, was literally hair-raisingly cringy and sociopathic. Like, could you be more tone deaf?! Or maybe just make it a movie: criminal minds - the romantic psycho bard.

Oops. I get you. 😅I haven't watched it yet. Heard so may praises for it and the story seemed like it could've been something like ITSAY with the real depiction of relationship and situations. But good acting is a must to support it, obviously.
