Yeah, exactly. This drama could have done it without the romance or only hints of it. But the start made it look like it would be one of the main focus of the drama and then that did not happen. It was as if the writer was going in one direction at first then changed his/her mind and decided that romance was not needed at all and included it anyway just because the character of Yiyi had already been introduced as a romantic interest. It felt like her existence as a character became forced and she was not even supposed to be there. At least the other female characters seemed to play a role in the development of the storyline.

Although there is romance and a kind of satisfying ending, I would not watch this because of romance. If you do start watching it with romance in mind you will feel very frustrated, specially since you will have to put up with A LOT of scenes between the cheating husband and the cousin until the female actually has a chance to have her own happiness and love. But if you are watching it to see how a weak turned strong female lead that reinvents herself and reaches success in her career and personal life, then you might like this.

I honestly would not have been able to watch this if I did not skip every scene with the cheating husband and XXXX (insert any bad word you can think of) cousin. Everytime I saw their faces I felt disgusted. Even tho this is only a drama, it happens in real life and I think Thailand actually is one of the countries with the highest rate of cheating and adultery. And ofc no one likes cheating (aside from the people who cheat on their partner), but some feel more strongly about it and I am one of those people whose blood boils just hearing that word. It is not only cheating, I hate any kind of lie or deception that causes other people to suffer.

We are all free to do whatever we want but we should never do to other people what we would not like someone to do to us. That is a basic rule for being a decent human being. And if decent is not enough and you want to be a good human being, then do the opposite:do for others what you would like others to do for you. (yeah, I did not come up with that myself, it is actually a verse from the Bible) ^.^

No subs so far but if anyone understands thai and wants to add subs, it is on youtube. Search for the channel "one31" and you can easily find the raw episodes on that channel’s playlists.

Exactly. He was very immature. Not the worst male lead I have seen, but very far away from being the best.

It’s not like the romance isn't satisfying and the main leads have a lot of cute scenes together, it is a little slow tho, mainly because of the female lead. Depends on what kind of romance you think is satisfying. Some people like it cute like a fairytale, some like it mature and with a lot of skinship, this one is somewhere in between.

I have only watched the first 6 episodes, which is not even half of the drama, and I am already feeling like I am not sure I want to keep going. It feels like I am watching one of those old dramas from like back in 2010 but with the video quality, outfits and technology of 2018. Don’t get me wrong, I liked those old dramas...back when I was a newbie and every kdrama was a new experience. But now that I have watched hundreds of kdramas I cannot avoid but feel bored at the amount of clichés this one has.

The story itself is not exactly something I have seen before, although nothing new either, but the characters behaviour and plot devices used here have been used sooooo many times before that I can pretty much predict what is going to happen next or what that character will say or do even if the drama itself is not giving me any clues.

I will probably still watch it until the end since I hate to drop something once I have started watching it and this is only 16 episodes (although right now 16 eps seems too many) but I will probably fast-forward a lot if they don’t show me something new and keep recycling the plots of so many other kdramas out there.

I really liked it and I am ok with the main leads not getting together right in the first few episodes since it makes it more realistic and their feeling seem more sincere but did it have to take THAT long? I liked almost all of it but by the last 2 episodes which is like the last 4 hours of the drama, I was getting tired. The ending was ok, but I was not satisfied. I needed more.

So overall it’s a pretty good drama, a light watch compared to most thai dramas and it also managed to stay away from a lot of clichés. Not amazing, but pretty good. I definitely recommend it.

I honestly could not pity him even after the last episode, he was dumb and acted like an idiot for most of the drama. The female lead was just too good for him. She was very mature in the way she viewed life and people while he was selfish and childish and only cared about his revenge and nothing else. Although I just wanted everyone to be happy in the end, in the back of my mind I kinda wished she forgave him but did not go back to him, at least for like a few years, so he could really have some time to think about the mess he made and learn with his mistakes. I don’t think he had enough time alone to deeply regret what he did.

Anyway, I am already prepared for this kind of thing when I watch lakorns. I still keep watching them but they probably will never be my favourite kind of drama because the thai culture shows men as individuals that can pretty much do everything from having several wives to raping and beating up and its ok, while women just have to endure it and forgive and forget, and that kind of gets on my nerves. Guess being a woman myself doesn’t help.

Not as bad as I thought it would be before I even decided to watch it, not as good as I expected after watching the first few episodes or so.

They managed to stay away from some clichés but fully embraced others and the male lead made me feel frustrated most of the time. I honestly think the female lead was too good for him. Not saying she had no flaws but she seemed a lot more mature in the way she viewed life and other people than him. He was very selfish and quite childish too. I can understand (although I do not support) characters wanting to get revenge at their enemies, people who directly hurt them or someone they love, but wanting to get revenge at someone who did nothing to hurt you or the ones you love, neither directly nor indirectly, and when that person happens to be the woman you love and your revenge puts at risk your relationship, then I am sorry, but that is not even being selfish or childish anymore, it is just dumb.

P.S. - I will not consider my comment a spoiler since the synopsis up there clearly says "and Kangsadan will be the first person he takes revenge on", although, to be honest, the synopsis is not accurate.

Definitely. This one is misleading. I thought I was going into a drama heavy on romance when that is only a very small part of the story.

Being in the mood for romance I was extremely disappointed. I thought romance would be at least one of the main plots but it was no more than a sub plot. The female lead did not appear for entire episodes and I can count on my fingers how many times both main leads appeared on screen together. It might be a great drama if you’re looking for something else, but, if like me, you were fooled by the cover picture and the Romance genre, you are setting yourself for disappointment. I am not saying there was no romance at all, but it was so little for 48 episodes of story that it might as well had none.

So far I find the cover picture and Romance genre misleading as I am up to ep 12 and there hasn't been much romance, the female "lead" barely appears in some episodes and I think there were 2 or 3 she did not appear at all, and it has been only 12 eps. I wonder if the entire drama will be like this: not having both leads appear together in the same scene.

That’s ok. I too did not know what a lakorn was until I started watching them.

Wow, I had to pause the first episode at 20 mins or so just to say that never a drama made me dislike a female lead so much in such a short time. But I guess that’s what they are going for, it’s her character. Now let’s go back into it and see how she is going to suffer from the consequences of her own actions.

I personally would have removed the fantasy element and then put together the first half of the drama with about 10 episodes of the second half and a different ending, which honestly would have been different anyway without the fantasy element, and then this drama would have been my cup of tea.

But since I was not the one who wrote the plot, I can only say I liked the start and about half of the drama (the first part) then started skipping around in the middle part, then started enjoying it again around episode 36 until the end but with some moments I felt like fast-forwarding again. I did not like the ending, but did not hate it either. I would definitely not re-watch the whole thing, but maybe some of my favourite scenes.

This was a lot darker than I imagined. The romance was also not my cup of tea. I will definitely not watch it again.

I have been waiting over a year for this to get subbed so I can watch it. Today I decided to watch the episodes that are subbed to see if I like it and now I feel dumb. Not because I liked it a lot and now have to wait for the rest to get subbed but because I could not get into it at all and have been waiting all this time for something that I do not even want to keep watching.

Comparing to other dramas in a similar time period or with similar elements, this one is far behind. I am sad to say this, but the only positive thing I saw in this was the choice for the main actors. I was quite bored watching their missions and felt a lot of things were not realistic at all, from the visual effects to the impossible devices and tricks that completely ruined any chance of this looking like a serious drama. I skimmed through the raw episodes on youtube just to know how it ends and honestly I do not regret dropping it.

Lakorn is the name given to a thai drama. So when I said it was a lakorn I meant it was just another thai drama with the same clichés and frustrating situations and characters most thai dramas have.

To be honest, although it has been only 2 months I barely remember what this show was about. I have since watched dozens of other dramas and since I did not find this one memorable I cannot even remember why I disliked it in the first place. But yeah, when episodes are cut down or more episodes are added to a drama, it usually ends up ruining the whole show. People dislike both rushed endings and dragging plots.

Yeah, I know. I am waiting for all the episodes to be subbed on youtube before I start watching it.
