Wow....I wasn't expecting too much going into this lakorn but it really surprised me due to the fact that it's, well, a lakorn. All the usual cliches aside, Euro and Prapye absolutely killed it as main leads. I don't think I have cried this much during a lakorn before, and it wasn't even that melodramatic! Any time they were crying, you bet your ass I was crying with them. ;_; Spectacular. I have seen each of them in at least one lakorn before as leads--Euro with Pinkploy (chemistry was meh) and Prapye with Donut in Fah Mee Tawan (Donut blew everyone out the water in that in terms of acting so that's why I wasn't expecting much out of Prapye's acting here)--and they definitely did better in this, and I think it's cause they had such great chemistry with each other. Prapye improved so much from Fah Mee Tawan that I almost didn't recognize her!
But in all honesty, this was such a great lakorn and one of the very few I would actually watch again cause let's be honest, 99% of lakorns are so frustrating and so many of the characters are hella unlikeable that poking your eyes out sounds more appealing than watching it again. HLML was well-paced (except the ending, but to be expected of Thai lakorns), the side characters didn't outshine the leads, the MLs had so many sweet and sad moments, and the story was interesting enough to keep you engaged. All in all, a must watch!:)
For real though, the only reason to watch this messed up plot is for little Phukao and View’s acting. The rest was just so…meh, and a damn shame too since I was looking forward to the enemies to lovers trope. -_-
Wait, I may have this wrong, but who is the Number One in the organization? Yoongab is 3, Soontae is 2, but who is 1? I thought there were three people under Big Mouse? Or did I get it wrong and 1 is supposed to be Big Mouse himself?
I don’t even know where to start. Honestly, I could write a ten-page essay about everything wrong with this…
Couldn't have said it better myself. I felt so EMPTY by the time it was all over. I honestly couldn't believe I was in flashback central for almost the entirety of the last episode. If not for James, I would've dropped this a long time ago. Ugh, the crap we endure watching just to see our faves on screen...
The following folks really really deserved these three awards:-The #3 Fuck You Award goes to Ohm.-The #2 Fuck…
I really want to ask James that too. Like, dude, you have so much potential and you chose this $hitty script? Gah. I guess every actor/actress has to have at least one crappy work.-_-
I'm starting to think the title is stemming from Mink and Pat's relationship while she was with Ohm. Hell, it may be totally unrelated to anything at this point. I lost so much interest in this drama after finding out Mink went through some extreme face/body-changing surgery to basically live out a new life while Ohm rotted in jail. I absolutely HATE the plastic surgery tag. It just seems too far-fetched. I would have liked it better if the real Meena was still her own person, and Mink was alive but running the show through Meena like Paul is currently doing with her. I think it'd be more interesting for Ohm to find out she was still alive that way--not as someone who was in fact alive at some point. But I will endure for these last two episodes. I hope Pat gets brought back into the picture or else I'll throw hands, because that's horrible writing to introduce a character and then drop him like he never existed. He most definitely plays a part in all of this.
Right, but if the mayor works for Big Mouse, and PCO is actually him, maybe it was all a part of his plan to make him out to be the victim. I don't know. Everything is speculation at this point.
Read through all the comments. There are SO many people with the dissociative identity disorder theory, that I…
I was too lazy to read through any of them lol. I like that idea though. I don't think I've watched anything that had something like this if it were the case.
I just binge-watched the last eight episodes, and earlier on, I thought it would be the most bizarre twist if PCH actually had dissociative identity disorder and his other half was actually Big Mouse. That would explain his narrative sounding innocent, yet his demeanor other times is so cocky to the point you'd think he was actually Big Mouse. And he grew up as an orphan?? Didn't the warden say Big Mouse lost a loved one because of the stuff in the paper? Maybe it was one of his parents? That would be a really cool twist, though it wouldn't explain why he drugged himself in the beginning. But again, maybe it was his other identity who spurred all this in motion and thought the best way to fight the enemy, was to do it himself, in person. Quite a silly theory, but I'm going to cling to it cause I think it'd be a shocker.:-)
Mark's dad has to be Pat. I don't think Meena/Mink (I'm sure they're the same person at this point, much to my displeasure) was lying when she said Mark's dad died in a car accident when she was two months pregnant with him. And Mink and Pat possibly met each other based on an earlier interaction in the series. When Ohm went to jail, I think Mink felt guilt for cheating on him that she did her best to take care of his mom since he also took the fall for her. Still not liking the idea that Meena may just be Mink, but I do like the possibility of Pat being Mark's dad. I think it'd be a good way to tie Pat back into the story rather than him just being "the fiance who was killed in beginning to be used as the kickstarter for our enemies to lovers storyline".
Ugh. I was really hoping Mink and Meena weren't the same person but ep. 8 threw so many fricken hints in your face that it's hard not to think it now. The new identity made by loads of plastic surgery is so far-fetched and something I really wish lakorns would do away with. -_-
I attempted to watch this when it first came out and after the first episode, I was getting, "the bad vibes" so to speak, and dropped it. After coming back and reading all the comments about what a sh*tshow it has become, I'm really glad I took the time to watch a K-drama instead. I love Pon, but my dude seriously needs to find better scripts. :/
Ep. 16--yikes. I REALLY wanted to love the ending, but it fell so short when it came to closing out all the character's stories. Toey and Chuea suddenly came back and had like ten minutes of screen time? And Pla's friend from the beginning whose name is escaping me was there for like ten seconds?? What was the purpose of bringing them back? I guess they were just there for fluff cause I forgot about them and couldn't care less about what happened to them in the end. Plopping those three in the last episode really threw off the whole flow of closing everything out. I was confused, but maybe it was just me.
Sahatep's death....kinda sucked? I was hoping he would get his just desserts and rot in jail along with Duangjai (death seemed like the easy way out to close his story). But having him "reconcile" with his dad only to get sniped a second later? Sheesh, what a way to go. And Duangjai...*sigh*. I almost felt bad for her the most just for how delusional she was. Honey, you're going to continually let a dude use you like that and not recognize he is only doing it for him? And in the end, you still cry for him? Have some respect for yourself.
I've really harped on the negatives and I could go on (not to say the drama sucked, but the execution was lacking in more ways than one) but let me just say the one saving grace for me in this whole drama was Khanin, dude can act. I think I've said it before, but every time he is on screen, his presence demands respect. And knowing how Tai's character is, he fit the role so perfectly in how he fought tooth and nail for what he wanted, even when he didn't know he wanted it. His performance was truly *chef's kiss*. He played the hot-head turned chill so well, almost to the point I can't see him in any other role. His scene with Sahatep in ep 12 is still my favorite! But to put an end to this, loved the storyline, just wish it was done better in some parts. And for the director, don't put characters back in that the audience has probably forgotten about in the last episode. Makes everything rushed and really nonsensical if you ask me.:)
Tai's actor is incredible. His acting all the way up to the point of him remembering everything has been hands down, FANTASTIC. And the last scene of ep. 12 of him basically telling Sahatep, "Yep, I remember what you've done to me," was absolutely boss. I really hope he gets more roles in the future.
You read my mind. I really hope he doesn't end up with that crazy Pin. It looks like her father is going to pass…
Even though we don't want it to go that route, it unfortunately will be the case since they have to stretch this drama out somehow! lol Drama wouldn't be a drama if it didn't have, well, the drama. I'm gonna be flipping tables though cause I know Pin is going to make me mad. -_-
Pin is CRAZY and delusional, I almost feel bad for her. Almost. And I really hope if this is going the amnesia route, Tai does not end up with Pin. Like, that would be the absolute worst. I can already foresee all the scenes of her threatening to kill herself when Tai tries to reconcile with Pla. *sigh*
The ending was...actually pretty sad? For me, making Weha the only one that remembers anything is worse than having them both forget each other. At least then one isn't having to live with all the memories of what once was while simultaneously watching the love of their life grow old and possibly get married to someone else. I know it's just a lakorn, but that got me thinking just how painful it must be to be the one that remembers. It's almost like, did it ever really happen?
Not a bad show though. Tualek had me wanting to wring her neck through 90% of it but she kind of grew on me. Kind of sad too that Tualek was only returned to her body because Dia couldn't learn to live for herself. :( I was kind of suspecting that would happen since they never revisited her after the affair her ex-boyfriend had. I honestly wouldn't have minded Tualek completing the missions and Weha getting reincarnated. I feel that would be more satisfactual than Weha just being doomed to be so close yet so far away to her in the end. Curious to see what others think about the ending.
But in all honesty, this was such a great lakorn and one of the very few I would actually watch again cause let's be honest, 99% of lakorns are so frustrating and so many of the characters are hella unlikeable that poking your eyes out sounds more appealing than watching it again.
