I started with liking Kawi but now I am absolutely not liking how he's behaving with Pisaeng and I love Pisaeng bc he's a lovely person so Kawi really needs to do some big time mending and make amends for his rudeness towards PIisaeng or he'll not be my favorite since Pisaeng is my favorite. ANd i love Max and Pear too.
Just started watching. AT episode 2. Is it okay for Sa rang to act like that towards Gu Won? I mean she's always so fake smiling and 45° forward bending with all guests and staff of the hotel but when it comes to Gu WOn she's like this hwarang for no fair reason. Isn't she scared that he could have her fired?!
Isn't her not remembering her first life at all paradoxical to the whole story of her remembering her every life? Maybe not everything about the lives. But still a lot of the things.
It's episode 8 and I am still hooked. How they are revealing the mysteries little by little is so interesting. And there'r even foreshadowings which I didn't catch the first time. Things are def connected.
I am not on social media, so don't know the authenticity of almost all the details shown here, except that social media is the most potent catalyst for hate and bullying. But still I understand this much that the topic though was real the show amplified all the other aspects of it for drama. SO I suspended by disbelief and had a blast.
This was like PLL and Glory had a baby that goes on to become a celebrity. Glamorous, corrupted and sexy. Very riveting. I couldn't keep a single episode for the next day.
The acting that stands out: Park Gyu Young: Love this girl. Picked this one up for her and she didn't disappoint. Lee Chung Ah: Seriously. What transformation from her early 2000s dramas to This is my last life! Never a bad role since that show. Her early dramas were more typical 2000 kdrama style and never made me a fan. But since Last life I always end up loving her characters supported by her very understated acting even when the writing had flaws. She's always either as great as the fl (like here) or better.
Lee Dong Gun: Since he started acting in character roles I always find it's unfair to the leading men of the shows unless they are super charismatic, cos this dude is an excellent actor with a scene stealing personality on screen. Same here.
I forgot where I first and the only time saw Min Hyuk in a drama so i searched on MDL and realized it was Heirs. Then I remember fuzzily that he was super cute in than unlike the hot a$$ daddy here. About his acting, I'll reserve my comments until I see a few more of his shows.
This was an over-the-top indulgent story telling which was perfectly concluded by the AI simulated face overlayer tech (deepfake), a cherry on top. I enjoyed every minute of it. Glad that romance was a subplot even though their chemistry was fire from the moment they looked at each other the first time. Lots of eye-f^cking. Bur Ah Ri's priority was making success for herself and I loved it. I loved that even when she had help from a few people, the main planning and management was all her, never mind the unrealistic successes. I love to fantasize about lucky coincidences all the time. This is the Cinderella story I'd like to read to my children in future, rags to riches by fighting and planning your own battles, but with consequences. An independent unrighteous heroin who slaps. Literally!
This is so addictive! I am so anxious about her approaching crash now that she's reached the top. Also this reminds me a lot of PLL. The trying to be mysterious at every chance. Like, everything changed after that thing happened. Did you leave me because what happened that day. I'd have supported her if she didn't do that thing. ANd not to mention bbbfamous.
This was a chaos and doesn't belong to any genre, neither drama nor romance nor comedy. Forget romcom. Too little of everything to be something definite. The romance stood pasted to the corner among the other messy plotlines like that scene in the elevator where Seila was disappearing into the corner of the lift for fear of coming in physical contact with the sudden crowd and Kanhan arm barricading him(my only fave scene btw). Too much time was given to family drama, sibling drama and office drama, so romance arrived at the eleventh hour and drama ended. The ending of Siela and Ganhan felt unearned because the romantic development was underdeveloped. Siela's feelings were gradually developing but Ganhan's just crashed in suddenly and she was in self-sacrificing love with Siela. Not one moment of theirs did I enjoy. No cross that. only one moment i enjoyed. The lift scene. I just wanted a well cooked romance even if it had angst and misunderstanding but with a lot of moments. That way even if I was frustrated, which i was, infinitely, it'd have been with the romance and not the side plots. I finished just for Push and Devika.
I am obviously gonna watch this for P💘sh and Devika but my God whatever is wrong with this girl? I know Thai dramas owe nothing to logic that's why only reacted by loling at the girl with experience, awards and connections in Milan being hapless in Thailand and her being confident and feisty but not to the point to actually do something about being wrongly accused. This is all classic Thai drama syndrome. But who on earth is so messy to leave behind a highway of mess wherever they live?! Like who?! Have you been living in a dump of bedding and food and whatever exist in the house hodgepodged togeher even in Milan? Who cleaned after you? Do you secretly have a princess syndrome or ogre? Gir, hi! Get a 24/7 cleaning service to live with you! And also she's shown to be a victim of a lot of unfairness, but man is she unlikable as f*ck.
This is a solid 10 for me. I mean no shade to Thai dramas because I love watching them, but Lakorns and even non-lakorny thai dramas have a certain signature style to them which instantly register them as Thai dramas in your brain. They have certain eccentricities, unusual plots, damning of basic logic and a consistent inconsistency in storytelling and dialogues, without compromising the entertainment though. I have been watching Thai dramas for 8 years now and have stalked and begged (courteously) subbers and stayed in anxiety over missing my favorite upcoming ones for lack of subs. But never have I ever watched a Thai movie or drama like this before. Honestly, if I was not so familiar with the sound of the language by now I'd have thought it from some other country. Again no disrespect to the conventional thai dramas, this was just a surprise.
This was international film festival level good. The writing, the acting, the cinematography, the locations, the sets, the making Phuket and the acting craft two of the main characters, every freaking thing was a blast. The characters and their stories were realistic.
Yes the in part 2 the cheating and the getting another chance too. I hate cheating plots, but do it like this, like if you see you think, well ya, if i am really hopelessly in love with someone even if they cheat and even if i hate them, if given some time to heal i'll prolly go back too to give it a final try. Like that friend of oh-aew said, how will you know if you don't try. ANd don't sprinkle angst for unnecessary drama, request. It's not staying in a toxic relationship, nah, it's getting back after both are matured and time has passed. The ending was even if not what I had wished for, believable.
In part 1 the realization of one's sexuality and struggling to accept yourself and in doing so hurting the other person, yes, real freaking life.
Do I hate Teh in both parts? Honestly, not at all in the first. In the second, I was getting a feeling that this could happen given his character, he's very sticktoitive when comes to finishing a commitment with anything in life, so that needed to be counterbalanced with a fatal flaw. And cheating was it. Oh-aew is just the opposite. A quitter in all but love. Teh wanted ohaew to stay like before and finish the journey they both planned, beside him. But as Ohaew started changing Teh started to get confused again. Again, they are still very young in both these seasons till the time leap when Teh finally assumably grew up. It is to see if he cherishes Ohaew now but then again you can't predict human nature unless you are a sneaky algo.
I loved this piece of art with its beautiful titles. Glad that this was not my first Thai drama or bl. It'd have been ruinous for my Thai drama watching from thereon if it was.
p.s. How could I forget this! The chemistry! There was 1 kiss in the first season but the expression of desire was so accurately shown through every other details, like Teh sniffing ohaew's written papers, the coconut that reminded him of Ohaew's hair, and so on. If Teh's desire for Ohaew from season 1 could be captured in a bottle it could've lit up the whole Phuket. In the same way in season 2 the desire curve started to shift from Ohaew to the other guy while Ohaew+Teh's chemistry settled into gradual domesticity from the sparks in spite of that lovemaking. It was so well done.
This is one of my fave dramas of all time. Not just from Thailand, from everywhere. But I gotta say this, as many times I watch this my irritation with Mae Jumpa grows as unboundedly. And tbh I'd have loved Karakaed's character the most if she didn't have the tendency to spill blood. That girl is a survivor. She's an orphan come to a new place where she's supposed to get married and received by not the lady of the house. To top it off, no one except the father gives her even a little break from the get go on the basis of rumors. Her fiancé is openly flirting with another women (later tells that woman that he always saw her as a nong 🤨and tells kedsura that he only ever had eyes for her😂😂😂). That woman acts like karaked is a roadbump on her and that dude's flirting and everyone considers that Ying Janward bitch a genteel woman 🤣🤣🤣
I like Kaedsura a lot but wish she had Karaked's tang. She's wide eyed and bushy tailed alright but too sweet to handle this ancient prejudiced bunch. She needed a safety pin personality.
Nevertheless, I love it to bits and am extremely offended that Netflix has not made this available to my place🤬 I am just suddenly sooo craving for this😥
