Yeah, I know what you mean. I mostly prefer romance, historical, comedy but also like crime, thriller, investigation kind of dramas. So if the second has no romance but the story is well written, then I would rather watch it instead of another romantic drama.

I honestly have no idea if this even has BL or if its just people shipping them. The comment section for this drama is a mess so I am not sure if this is a really good drama or a drama that is overrated solely because of the main leads. If you have already watched it, can you spoil me? Is this drama really good or is it overrated?

Yeah, dramacool probably took the subs from youtube since they do that often and used the same raws too. The no sound thing is most likely caused by youtube because I have seen it happen in other kinds of videos. It usually happens a few seconds before a music starts until a few seconds later, because of copyright.

Yeah, I agree. Torture is basically ignoring the fact that person is also a human being. And it is still common in many countries. And even in developed countries it happen, but most people are not aware of it. Similar to human trafficking. It is a lot more common than most people would like to admit. In some places there are several people going missing in the same week. It is scary to think that humans are able to do such cruel things.

It was worse than I expected.

The only pairing I actually liked took almost the entire drama to actually have any development and there weren’t enough scenes of them together. The other couple I kinda of liked, but not as much, also happened, but again, only at the ending. The other 2 I could not care less.

The female lead which was portrayed as the main between the mains, since she was the one who did the narration in the first and last episodes, was boring to watch and I did not like who she ended up with. They just dont match and her explanation at the end for me sounded like "if you get hurt that is ok, you will get used to it"..like what?? NO, if the person is hurting you even before you get into a relationship, do you think it will be better after you give him a chance? Sigh

The other girl was easy so she only encountered easy men. And that made her scenes the ones I FF the most. At first she was my least favorite main lead, but surprisingly she had some character development and I thought the ending given to her was the appropriate one. At least better than the one given to the other female lead I ignored.

Overall this was a fest of slutty and/or selfish people with a few characters that were ok. Really frustrating to watch. I would never re-watch it. I think having Ussana-Mr.X and Namnao-Mr.Y in this drama is a waste. I would definitely watch their stories as 2 different dramas. Especially the romance between Ussana and Mr. X. It had a lot of potential that was wasted here.

I have a huge issue with dramas with way too many characters. 4 female leads means I have to divide my attention into 4 different stories and I dont like doing that in the same drama. It makes me disconnect from the characters and story. But I will give it a try and see. I can always FF through the episodes, and worst case scenario - end up dropping it.

Can you spoil me as to who did what? But overall I agree with you. If you behave like one of the bad guys, can you still be considered a good guy? This why some people are referred to as grey characters. They are not bad per say but use some not so good methods to reach their objectives. There is a fine line between good and bad and it comes up not only to what you do but how you feel about it. Bad guys don’t feel guilty at all and might even get enjoyment from doing it. If the person feels guilty and tries to change his/her ways even if failing to do so, then you can’t really consider that person one of the bad guys.

Exactly. I am a woman and I don’t like BL. So it really doesnt have anything to do with being a woman or a man. If they give me 2 good looking men why would I fantasize about them liking each other? I would rather have them like me. Lol, just kidding, 1 is enough, I don’t need 2 ^^

Yeah, same. I already had this on my list but was waiting for subs. But maybe it is a good thing I cannot watch it yet, because it will be hard to beat the chemistry she had with the male lead from The Romance of Hua Rong. So I probably need some time to forget them and watch some other dramas before I watch this one..that is if it ever gets subbed.

Yeah, I know. And then the last episode was pretty much just catching the bad guys and getting it over with. I wanted to at least see them having a second wedding since she ran away the first time. Who knows, maybe they will give us a second season. But I would still have preferred an ending that was on the same level as the rest of the drama. This was one of my favorite dramas of last year so I was expecting a lot from those last episodes. :(

If they do make a second season, I want them spending at least some time in Hua Rong island and maybe add a baby...or a pet, they are both good options to give some more fluffiness to the drama. Lol

Although the ending felt a little rushed and underwhelming compared to the rest of the drama, this was still very entertaining. The leads have amazing chemistry and most characters are interesting to watch, especially his underlings/friends.
I would recommend this if you are looking for something easy to watch without too much drama, a good romance, lots of kisses and skinship in general and funny characters and situations.

If there was one thing that bothered me was the audio. I watched this on youtube and there were many issues with the audio, from it going lower to having no audio at all, to the music being so loud at moments that it is distracting. The last one is probably editing related but the other 2 were most likely caused by youtube’s automatic detection of copyrighted music, which by the way is a flawless system carried out by the youtube bots...said no one ever. Sigh
But it does not happen that many times that it stops you from enjoying the drama. And maybe you will find it somewhere else. If it is on mango’s youtube channel, then it is probably also on their app.

I literally just finished watching. Let’s hope he stays dead cause I could not look at his face any longer.

Well, if we are not being fooled, then that should have happened in episodes 23-24 (aka ep 12). And in a kind of ironic way when you think about how he treated his wife. But considering what the writers have been doing with his character, I will not be surprised if he somehow survives and shows up later.

I had not started this until now because I thought it would not be my kind of drama. But I have just finished binge-watching all the episodes that have aired so far. I have kind of mixed feelings tho. I like how the female lead is not one of the good guys but also not the villain. She is somewhere in the middle. She is not black nor white, she is grey. In fact, a lot of the characters are like that. And then the rest are just downright evil. I definitely would not make the same decisions she did but I can kind of understand what was going through her mind.

But I have some issues with her character and the plot. She seems to give off this mysterious and I am smarter than I look kind of vibe but then makes decisions that are pretty dumb or that do not make sense and seem to happen just to drag things. Also, the story started interesting but I feel as if it has been stuck at the money going around and around and more and more greedy people or people with their own interests showing up. It feels as if the writers are not sure of what they want to do next with the plot and that is shown through the way the female lead is going around in circles without actually doing anything.

With only 4 episodes left to wrap things up, I wonder what they will do next.

I guess they used the summary from the app and then changed it cause it did not make much sense. XD

?? I am confused. Was that like a sentence from the previous summary? I have seen some pretty weird ones too.

EDIT: Oh, I see. It is the summary on the app. Lol It really sounds weird and makes it seem like there is a body swap. But here on MDL there are no hints of that, be it in the summary or the tags. I guess I will have to watch to find out.

Yeah, of course the story, the acting, everything matters. But if I can’t understand or sympathize with how the main characters are or why they think a certain way and what is behind their actions, then I will most likely drop the drama. I cry, laugh, smile and get angry because I am able to put myself in the character’s shoes. I think about how I would have reacted in the same situation. By doing that not only am I able to enjoy the story a lot more (it feels like riding a roller coaster XD) but it also makes me better as a human being because it makes it easier for me to feel empathy in the real world when dealing with real people. ^ ^

The only thing I like is how the entertainment industry is being realistically portrayed. Other than that I am not sure if I will keep watching much longer. The story itself seems like it will be very average and might become extremely boring soon and the main leads don’t have much, if any, chemistry.

It is not the age gap tho, it is something else. Maybe the characters they are playing just don’t feel right together. He comes out as this arrogant immature person that easily holds grudges. And she seems like this persistent and talented young girl that is just fighting against the current. It feels like watching a cliché couple that you would expect from a drama that aired 10 years ago. There is also hints of a love square in the making and that is not only extremely cliché but also annoying. Really, so far this just seems like an average drama, which for someone like me is just not enough anymore. The truth is when you have been watching dramas for almost a decade and have watched hundreds and hundreds of dramas, your expectations are set very high.

So don’t take this comment to heart as everyone feels different about the same drama, be it because of personal taste, previous experiences or even just the mood. I have gone back to dramas I dropped and found myself loving them and wondering why I even dropped them. Most of the times it was because I just was not in the mood for that kind of drama.

Had to look it up to know what you were talking about. XD
I personally do not watch BL or same gender romance so I had never come across the dramas you mentioned.
I don’t care much if it’s like a side couple on a drama I watch but as the main leads I am only able to watch hetero couples. And the reason is simple and not homophobic. (have to make that clear just in case lol)
And the reason is that when I watch a drama I like to imagine myself as one of the main leads so I can empathize with how they feel and why they make certain decisions. Being a woman I usually put myself in the female lead’s shoes. In a BL there is no female lead. And in a couple made of 2 women I would not be able to connect to neither of the main characters as I have never felt attracted to another woman.

It started out interesting but somewhere around the middle it started to feel a little draggy. It is still a good drama, just not as good as some other I have watched recently. For me it’s a 7, which means it has some re-watch value but is at the bottom of my priority list.

Lol You’re welcome! This one is an easy skip. Really not worth anyone’s time. The female lead is just way too immature. But the other one is not a complete waste of time. I just would not recommend it for the romance and I think the title does not match the focus the character is given in the drama. But you can give it a try if you want. If anything it is worth watching for the great job the actress did playing such different roles and the main character being so different from your typical female lead. She has no morals whatsoever. She does not even have standards. She goes for any man. Her character is really complex. You feel disgusted at her behavior but at the same time dont know if you should hate her or feel sorry for her.
