I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Was not expecting to like it so much. It was very realistic and I could connect to the characters and understand their feelings and why they acted in a certain way, even the ones that seemed to be bad. I liked how the male lead had a temper, not because I think he should, no one likes a person who gets angry and violent easily, but because it made his character more realistic and human. He had so many other qualities that had it not been for his temper then he would have just been another one of those "perfect" male leads, which would made his character less interesting. The female lead, at first, was annoying in what she said and the way she acted, but later she revealed to be mature, calm and understanding. Not saying her character was perfect either, but I did not dislike her.

I do want to say that there were 2 characters that I did NOT like at all, both female (what a surprise!). Each one of them made me feel disgusted at their selfishness. They both, in different ways and for different reasons, destroyed the lives of other people. Although both seemed to have something to "excuse" what they did, the one who could be forgiven never showed any sign of regret, probably because there was no time to do it. And the other one, even if she showed signs of regret and we were shown that she will probably become a better person, the consequences of her act could not be undone and in that way she was worse than the other character. But I guess this means they did their job well.

Thanks to the actions of one of those ladies mentioned above, most of the last episode was dramatic and then the rest of it was just to finish the story so it was not very satisfying.

And the last thing that I did not like but was already expecting since this aired on Channel 3, was that there were no real kisses, just the camera angle and the efforts of the actors to make it look like they are actually kissing. At the same time I will take a drama with a good story and no real kisses over a drama with hot kisses and amazing chemistry but with a weak or non-existent plot any time.

Exactly. I decided to give it a try even after reading your comment but you’re right. Although there was a lot of romance, it was very bland, I was not able to enjoy it and was bored most of the time.

Had the first 5 episodes been condensed in 1 episode, the first episode, and this would have been a little more bearable. I liked the male lead but that’s about it. The plot was not interesting enough and I felt bored most of the time.

It was okay, nothing special. A lot of times I felt bored and I could have done without the supernatural/horror element since I felt it was not necessary and would make the story more realistic had it not been there. The ending was just a wrap up of things and was lacking in many ways. Also, because this is a Channel 3 drama you should not expect real kisses, just staged ones with the camera angle being everything.

Wow, I was not sure if I should give this a try or not but looking at the rating, I decided not to waste my time. It is legit the worst rating I have seen here on MDL.

Lol You’re welcome! I have not watched it yet so I don’t know if it’s good but at least I found it subbed so I think it will be worth to give it a try.

Most of it was entertaining. I had some laughs too. But the last few episodes did not keep up with the rest and were a little boring and the ending could have been a lot better, I felt it was lacking. Also, the female lead’s screams were just too much. I legit had to put the volume down everytime I even suspected that she was going to scream, it happened very often and was very predictable, anything was a reason for her to scream: from being actually scared, to seeing a bug, to the male lead messing with her, or just because she felt like screaming.

I would have given this a better rating had it not been for the reasons mentioned above, but it was not a bad drama, I enjoyed most of it.

Are you sure? I looked around a few episodes and they have subs throughout the entire episode and the title also says [Eng Sub].

This is the link for the 1st episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSlSw2gh4wA&index=3&list=PLUg6CGAXr7pmy78ApHCKklkB-isU63IVB

All 46 episodes in the playlist seem to be subbed, they just aren't organized.

I think all the episodes have eng subs now. The youtube channel is the same too.

It seems it is fully subbed on youtube. It is always good to do a quick search on dramas, even using the native name, as sometimes we miss on dramas thinking they are not subbed when they actually are and we just didn't look in the right place.

Exactly. I have finished it a few days ago and although it had it’s flaws but the romance was refreshing since the male lead was not a playboy who gets violent and is always forcing the female lead. He did "attack" her several times but he was respectful about it and knew the limits, he was even willing to wait for her to say she loved him. I would say that the first episode was really slap and kiss, literally, but it was one of my favourites. XD

What makes this lakorn stand out from the rest is that instead of a playboy male lead we got a female lead that likes to play around, or at least pretend to. Other than that, it was full of clichés and was not much different from other lakorns.

Glad my comment helped someone. Sadly the second season is not subbed yet but I think it will be picked up very soon and will be available in the same place I watched the first season.

This is clearly a parody but being so long it failed its purpose as it ended up just being a lakorn that makes fun of itself. It relied on the comedy factor but failed in it’s execution.

Let me tell you why you should NOT watch this IF you’re looking for a good romance story.

So the female lead reminds me of Cinderella. She is kind, so kind that she is naive and people use her. She is willing to do anything for her family, even if she has to sacrifice her own well-being. The male lead on the other hand is far from being Cinderella’s prince. He is a playboy, he is violent, he prefers to trust outsiders rather than the woman he "loves" and on several occasions treats her like garbage. There were actually more scenes of him being rude, violent and distrustful than him being caring. Even if here and there he shows some kindness, it is not enough to erase the many times he acted like a jerk.

This one was frustrating to watch and showed a lot of disrespect towards women, which I know happens often in Thailand but there are many other lakorns that are a lot better and that do not portrait women as punching bags and sex tools that have to put up with cheating boyfriends/husbands because it is "normal" for men to act like that and they just have to accept it.

The story was all kinds of messy. It reminded me of one of those dating games that has several routes. And in the end she chose the one I liked the least. Until the end I was still hoping she would choose the only one that never hurt her and was always there for her just like she was always there for him. I am disappointed even if I had no expectations when I started watching this.

Slow, very slow. And the second season has the typical female "friend" that is manipulative and will do anything to get the male lead’s attention. The ending isn't that satisfying either. I could have done without this one.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that she gets involved with her ex-boyfriend when she already has a boyfriend? That is called cheating, two-timing, and there are probably more terms for it. Being in love with him is not an excuse. If she wants to to back to him, FIRST she should break up with her boyfriend. And she constantly lied to get away with it too. One of the worst female leads I have seen. She does not deserve how much the male lead loves her and btw, had this been the other way around with the male lead being the one dating 2 people at the same time, would it still be ok? I dont think so.

Anyway, I cant really recommend this because of the reasons stated above.

P.S. - I think this is not a spoiler as the synopsis makes it clear that she has a boyfriend AND gets close with her ex-boyfriend (at the same time).

Lol "seeing how it is a taiwan drama the last five episodes likely to be dramatic and draggy". That is like the most accurate thing I have read in the comment section. I don’t know if you have finished watching it yet but you were right. This one was no exception.

I understand how you feel. I also think Hou ZI deserved better. He was the character who suffered the most, he was legit the punching bag. But at the same time it just made the drama more realistic. Unfortunately in real life some people keep suffering from all kinds of problems even if they are good people. And getting sick/dying can happen to anyone. I guess they chose Hou ZI so they would not use the cliché of one of the main leads being the one with a terminal illness. I watched the drama until the end and did not really regret it but I did feel frustrated and sad several times so I don’t think I will ever watch it again.
