Maybe because only a few people voted with only like 2 episodes subbed. I hate people who do that. I only rate a drama when I finish watching it.

As of now it is 8.4 and that is a pretty good rating for a thai drama. Most thai dramas are rated around 7 and some go lower than 6.

This is like a minor spoiler, so I will just say it.

Episode 3 there is this scene with the little boy and they kind of make it funny while using Nadech’s name as a reference. This is a plot hole, although not huge, cause both the little boy and the female lead live in the jungle without access to tv or any other source of info. How do they even know who Nadech is??? Maybe I missed something, or it was just a fail on the writers side, and directors, and actors, and everyone involved in the making, filming and editing of this particular scene.

I wanted to like this. I mean, the male lead was not a jerk...that is until he started acting like one in the name of revenge, a revenge that was pretty dumb and made no sense. The plot was also nothing new and I have seen so many thai dramas with this kind of plot and with characters with the same personalities and endings. The last few episodes were also annoyingly filled with flashbacks to the point that it probably summed to almost 1 entire episode of just flashbacks. I will be honest, I was a little disappointed, even if I had no expectations when I started watching it.

It’s not the worst thai drama I have seen, I had moments I liked, but it is also far from being the one I liked the most.

I found this to be a pretty average drama. Did not hate it, did not love it. I wonder what that smile at the end meant. And this could be a spoiler but I will try not to give too much away.
Was it a "I forgive you" kind of smile or a "as soon as we are alone you’re getting a good beating until I feel less angry and then I might forgive you" kind of smile?

(I am not marking this as a spoiler as the summary gives away the plot and we all knew from episode 1 that this was going to happen sooner or later)

6/10

The start was slow and boring. But I don’t think only watching 1 or 2 episodes is enough to judge if a drama will be good or bad so I just kept watching. And in fact, soon after, there was one episode that was better and that I found interesting, not sure which one but it was in the beginning so it might have been somewhere between eps 2-5. BUT, right after that the drama became draggy and boring again and it kept being like that most of the time right until the end. There were some funny moments and some romantic scenes (very few) that I liked, but they were just not enough to compensate for the nothingness of everything else.

The romance, compared to most dramas, was so little that it was a side plot and they tried to compensate for that in the last 10 minutes of the last episode, but it just did not work. It felt rushed and unnatural and the only redeeming part was the funny way it ended.

Another thing is that the character Bae Ya Chae had a complete change of behaviour near the end that did not match her selfish, jealous and controlling personality and that felt rushed and done only for the plots sake.

Overall, I felt like there was just not much happening and I could not even remember any of the characters names aside from the main leads, which I could only remembered because hey, it’s Ahn Dan Te. (whoever watched Beautiful Gong Shim will understand)
And the fact I could not even remember the characters names says a lot about how much of an impression this drama left...not much as you can imagine.

So yeah, this was pretty disappointing and I am sure I will never re-watch it unless I forget about it and start watching it by mistake thinking that I never watched it, which might happen since this left such a weak impression...but that is why I use MDL, so I can keep track of these things. Lol

The movie itself is the definition of friend zone. I won’t say more as to not spoil it but there is a lot of waiting and friend zoning. To me the ending did not feel satisfying, probably for that same reason. But I guess it is not a bad movie, I have seen worse.

Thank you. You should probably mark it as spoiler so its not taken down for some reason. And for whoever reads this, subs English-1 seem out of sync but option 2 seems ok but I only watched like 30 secs so I am not sure.

Since the first time I came across this it reminded me of W: Two Worlds because of the manga concept and a real person entering the manga. I still prefer W over this one but this was unique itself and the story and feeling were completely different and I still enjoyed it. I did not feel bored or feel that it was dragging like a lot of other chinese dramas.

I liked the relationship between the main leads, the character growth of the female lead, the comedic scenes and the music. I just though at times the pace or focus of the story felt a little unnatural and although I liked the music, I though too much time was reserved for it. If I try to imagine a thai musical drama, then this is it. But overall there were more positive things than negative and I will probably re-watch it some time in the future.

Yeah, I never said she was a bad person and I was quite surprised she voted for the FL, but I think it was partially because she did not even see her as a rival. She was so convinced she was just a "substitute" and that the ML lead only liked the FL because of the similarities between them. And although she redeemed herself later, she did insistently go after the ML, she gave the FL the tickets to her concert hoping to reveal the relationship she had with the ML and she even met her in private to rub on her face their past and indirectly say: "our love is stronger than everything, he will never love you as much as he loved me, so it’s better for you to step away so we can get back together".

I found her behaviour in those occasions unfair to herself, the ML and the FL and although I can understand the way she felt, she was being pretty selfish.

Since she redeemed herself after, I did not hate her character, but I have no doubt that her existence in the plot was only to create conflict and drag the story. I would have rather have less episodes and less drama.

Well, I would not say she is a bad person, she just did not play fair. I did not hate her but I kind of disliked her and think her character was not necessary. If she never came back, this would have been at least 5 episodes shorter.

Yeah, in terms of gaming, this one was more detailed, but go go squid beats it in everything else. I think they based this one on LoL (League of Legends). The objectives of the game, characters, technical terms used by players and commentators, moves and strategies, all reminded me of it and they even had a team that was literally called Legends.

Yeah, there were a lot of things that were not explained and that did not make any sense. Other than that, the drama stands out for being different. It is not some recycled plot from so many other dramas.

I did not dislike it but since I recently finished watching go go squid, which has a similar theme, I cannot avoid comparing them and for most part, gank your heart is behind go go squid. I found it to be a longer and slower, less interesting, more complicated and dramatic version of go go squid. But the main thing is that I completely shipped the main couple of go go squid and could not stop grinning while watching the romantic scenes, while here I wanted them to get together but honestly if he went back to his ex and she started dating her colleague, I’m sure you know who I am talking about if you have already watched it, I would not even be that bothered. Of course I prefer for the main leads to end together, but I was so detached from them that I did not really care. I just wanted it to end because I was getting tired of watching it. I think 35 episodes was way too long for this kind of plot, and the romance was also slower than I expected.

Overall, I think this was not memorable, and if later I feel like watching a drama around the gaming theme, this will definitely not be my pick.

I know. The mix of traditional chinese music with modern beats is so catchy. I can legit play the song in my head without even listening to it. XD

Unfortunately, because of an idiot who left a rude comment, this is on hold without prevision of starting. I have been waiting months for this one but Neko decided to give priority to 3 new projects instead of this one. I was a little sad but since she does this for free I know I don’t have the right to complain or demand anything so I just enjoy the dramas she is subbing at the moment while waiting for this one patiently. Then some idiot left a rude and brainless comment and Neko decided to put this on-hold indefinitely. T T

Am I the only one who thinks the opening song is pretty cool? I don’t know why but the flute, the modern beat and what I think is the female lead’s voice all together sounds pretty good. Lol

Exactly. And I watched the trailer after reading the comment after yours saying this started well and is not going the cliché way. Watching the trailer I don’t even feel like giving this a try, not because it revealed the whole plot, but because what it showed was nothing but clichés. I detected so many that I completely lost any interest I had in watching this. T T

Exactly. If they were going to invest so much in the relationship between Song Yi and Do Hyun, I would rather have her stay with him and just be good friends with the male lead, kind of like brother and sister, and then the male lead finding someone else, because his ex was just not a good choice.
