You have to be really bad to write such a weak story with such a promising theme. Aside from presenting the 3 identities that reside in Jess’s mind, they had no idea what else to do. Everything else was a bunch of nothing with a very convenient ending, too convenient to the point of ridiculous, even in lakorn standards (SPOILER: all 3 bad guys fall from the building and die at the same time...seriously???)

And let’s not even talk about the korean character that was not only unnecessary, but also appeared way too much and did not behave like a korean person at all, more like one of those typical lakorn crazy second female leads.

I have not watched all the dramas that belong in the Bangkok Rak Stories series, but I have watched enough to reach the conclusion that they are just bad. I don’t know if it’s the writers or if it’s because it’s a series so there isn’t as much attention and care, but all the ones I have watched scream low budget, bad writing, bad acting and even bad editing everywhere. This had so much potential and they were able to turn it into a less than average drama. What a waste.

What do you mean? Only 3 more episodes and it will be completely subbed...and this has 42 episodes. The subs were faster than usual actually, I thought this would only be fully subbed in 2020.

Added number of episodes, complete airing date and defined as finished airing so people can mark it as completed once they finish watching it.

Ikr. Especially with the way episode 4 ended. XD I can’t wait for tomorrow.

The first episode was honestly the least impressive, so much that I thought that this would be just another one of those dramas that is very average. Episode 2 was a little better and so was episode 3. And for me, so far, the most interesting episode was episode 4. It had a little of everything, funny moments, a little bit of action and a heart wrenching scene that made me tear up.

I feel that instead of starting with a bang, they decided to slowly spice things up. Each episode is better than the previous one. I would say to give it another try. Watch the 4 episodes that are out so far and if you still aren’t able to get into it, then it probably isn’t your kind of drama.

I expected this to be funny considering the male lead is pretending to be a woman, but I never thought it would be this interesting. The first episode was not that impressive, but I have been feeling that with each episode it gets more interesting. Hopefully it will stay that way until the end.

I did not understand your comment until I went through all the supporting characters of this drama. XD
Btw, good job on subbing this one. I originally wrote in the notes that this would be fully subbed somewhere in the beginning of 2020, but you have been a lot faster than I expected. Only 3 more episodes to go. ^^

I personally though this was very average. There was nothing that stood out to me. The princess-bodyguard plot has been done several times, so if the story does not have some exciting element, it just becomes boring. It is not a bad drama, it just did not meet my expectations. Hopefully the sequel, which is a completely different plot, is more interesting.

YouTube, but anywhere else the subs are equally bad, probably because they are using the same subs.

Yes, it has a happy ending.

Yeah. Especially older lakorns. Recently, lakorns are straying away more and more from the annoying clichés. I have watched quite a few that were a nice surprise and most of them aired in the past 2 or 3 years. But of couse there are some older lakorns that I liked.

I never loved it, but I liked it. Unfortunately, as I was closer to the end I was like, wait that’s it? No big conflicts whatsoever and then they cram everything in the last episodes? It honestly felt like I was watching one of those shows that are suddenly cancelled so they have to wrap up things asap. I don’t know, the pace felt off near the end. So yeah, for me it was just an average korean historical drama. Not the worst I have watched, but far from being the best.

No and I doubt it will ever be fully subbed, unless someone else other than the original subber decides to sub the last 7 episodes. My guess is the person who was subbing watched the ending, got frustrated and thought it would be a waste of her/his time to sub the rest of the episodes.

I really liked it, just wish we saw more of the main leads together as a "true" couple. The plot was nothing creative or anything but it was a little different from most thai dramas. Not too many conflicts, the misunderstandings were solved pretty quickly, not too much drama or hate. The advertisements were too much tho, especially the one about bras...it could be funny sometimes but it was a little distracting from the story.

The first 2 episodes were quite disappointing, not at all what I was expecting. The pace and vibe of the drama was really weird. The 3rd episode was better and the 4th episode too, although not as good as the 3rd. The preview made it seem like there might be some progression in the next episodes, cause so far not much happened. I just don’t want to give up on the first drama with Chang Wook after so long. But that won’t stop me from giving this a low rating if the drama does not get any better than this.

I really hope there is a second season. The whole pace of the drama and especially the way it ended made it seem like what we saw was only part of the story.

I don’t know. The idea was good, but I think what failed was the execution. Quite a few things were not properly explained or addressed, we were not shown enough of the main leads as a couple (in fact, we only saw them as a couple 9 years later just before the wedding and there was not much shown) and overall the drama felt very average. It could have definitely been better. I am not saying it is bad. It just isn’t good enough that I would want to watch it again.

I liked the slow paced romance, which usually I hate, but here it made sense. And I liked it was realistic. What I did not like was how supporting characters got as much screen time as the main leads. And personally I did not even found the side stories interesting so I found myself skipping huge chunks in certain episodes. This is a problem I have with a lot of chinese dramas. They want to drag the story as long as possible, and instead of using the main characters for that, they focus so much on the stories of the supporting characters, even if they are boring, to the point they almost become main characters themselves. I don’t like too many main characters in the same drama because it is distracting, I only want to invest my energy on one, maybe 2, max 3 main stories/romances.

Also, the last 10 episodes or so became quite boring for me and the ending was not satisfying either. I don’t regret watching this, but I would not invest over 24 hours of time to re-watch it.

You’re welcome. Hopefully it will get fully subbed. I have been waiting very long for this one.

It’s the other way around tho. An ex-classmate (not ex-girlfriend or boyfriend) of the male lead shows up and tries to steal the female lead. But yeah, for them to be able to drag the story, there will be misunderstandings most likely. I will still watch it just for their kid cause I love seeing children on screen.
