I personally liked the Chinese version more but at the same time I cannot put down this remake. Both are good but different. The original one was more detailed, the characters, particularly the male lead, were more fleshed out and the emotions were deeper. It was heart wrenching at times and I think I even cried at some point.

This one, on the other hand, is a more light cute version. The male lead is not as well developed as the one in the Chinese version (I mean the character, nothing to do with the actors) BUT the backstory at the end of the episodes and the behind the scenes in the last episode really make up for what is missing.

So basically, I recommend both. They are both good in their own way. If you want something more deep that will make your heart hurt, then you might enjoy the original one, but if you prefer a light cute story without too much drama, then this version will probably be your cup of tea.

Ikr? Like, when he finally gets a main lead role, his BROTHER gets the girl for pretty much the entire drama. The writers really did him dirty in When I Was the Most Beautiful. At least here we can tell that wont happen cause the female lead is already kinda into him. lol

Ikr? I want to believe that the logic in this is that: 1 - the maid did not actually look directly at her face and it was dark. 2 - Same thing with the brother, it was dark, plus he was also young when this happened so his memory of what his mother looked like might have weakened. Even nowadays this happens to young kids who lose their parents and they have pictures to remember what they looked like, but in the past there was no such thing. And finally, OD only met the Queen once and saw her a few times throughout that day + being a traumatic memory for him, he might have buried some things deep down.

That said, I think I would have still recognized her...but I am trying to give this drama a chance and find a logical reason as to why everyone other than the kind is blind. lol

3? Isn’t it 2 instead?
She played the Queen, the mother...and now she is playing the daughter 8 years later.

So far it seems to be my kind of drama. I like strong female leads. Hopefully it wont disappoint.

Will this be the drama where Ji Soo is the main lead and finally gets the girl all while the plot does not actually suck?

Your comment sounds sarcastic but it might not have been your intention so I will not take it personally.

Yes, there is revenge. The plot is centered around it. But I have watched other lakorns also centered around revenge that were much better which is why I said this one is average. Its not bad, but it just isnt as good as some other thai dramas I have watched.

Yeah, same here. I have a few dramas in my on hold list that I have not started and that have been sitting there for years because they are not fully subbed or have not been subbed at all. T T

It has been this way since 2018-2019. There is little hope for this one since subbers dont usually pick unfinished projects.

Yeah, I tried, I gave it a chance, but I still did not like it. Not a fan of the interview format and definitely not a fan of how this format made it so there were several main characters. I dont like it when a drama has a lot of main characters. If feels like a lot of stories are being told but none of them stands out to me.

That said, dont reply to this comment saying I did not understand the value of this drama or something like that. I never said this was a bad drama. It just wasnt my cup of tea.

Well, if you do like the idea of them being together, then yes, it will happen. Not the way you and me wanted but oh well, I am sure he will eventually fall in love with her. She really deserves to be beside the FL, she is the only TRUE sister of all the 3 she had so far. The other 2 turned out to be snakes.

What I am worried about is that these 2 are so cherished by us viewers that the writers might decide to kill one or both of them at the end. In most c-dramas I have watched the loyal servants/bffs of the main leads always die, mostly saving the main leads or sacrificing themselves for a cause like defending the borders or something.

Hopefully it wont happen here. I want all 4 of them (plus any extras, aka their children) to have a happy ending.

As an overweight person who is currently losing weight, I was not really bothered by it. I think they were trying to make her as miserable as possible so the glow up would feel even more needed for her to the point she would sacrifice anything for it.

That said, even at my heaviest, I have never broken a chair I sat on or any piece of furniture really. LOL

So I kind of agree with what you said, that scene did make me cringe.

Ok, guys. It has been several years now so lets ALL try and fill this short form: https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034633713-Request-a-TV-Show-or-Movie

The more people who fill it, higher the chances of it being picked up.

So I guess you have reached the part where it becomes clear why he decides to marry her?

Its been like 6 months since I finished it but from what I remember it was an ok drama but nothing special. I did not feel much chemistry between the main leads and I felt the male lead was too nice to his mother and the girl she brought home to shove in her married son’s face. Not the worst, I have seen worse male lead’s when it comes to dealing with their mother/random women, but with the plot being average, his lack of action at times made it even harder to watch.

So overall, in my opinion, it is an average drama. If you have other dramas to watch, this one is probably not worth your time. But if you dont, then give it a try.

I understand what you mean. But the problem was I watched this right when it was subbed. At the time there werent enough people talking about this drama and I was tricked into believing this would be a sweet romance. When the male lead cheated on her, not once, but TWICE, I felt hurt with the female lead, almost as if I was the one being cheated on.

And because of that I was never able to forgive the male lead or even accept his redemption. In her place I would have dumped him and hoped it would serve as a lesson for him to not cheat again.

I think the writers were going for a character development kind of thing for the male lead, but I would rather have the female lead be the one to become stronger, dump his a** and find someone worthy of her.

I have a really low tolerance for cheating. I find it to be the worst kind of betrayal, maybe only second to someone actually stabbing you in the back, as in literally stabbing.

I just hope you understood why the reply started with "Well...". It means it is not as simple as they liking each other and getting married. There is a deep secret involved.
I wont say more as to not spoil it for you but hopefully they will have a happy ending.

That explains it. So I guess I will have to leave it in my currently watching list until April even tho I have already completed it. :(

Not my cup of tea. There are way too many characters stealing screen time to the point the main leads do not even show up for entire episodes at times.

Now, dont get me wrong. I am not saying this is a bad drama. I just personally dont like dramas that focus on a lot of characters at the same time. If this had like 120 episodes it would make sense to have so many characters. But for 35 episodes there were way too many people on the same screen.

If I was in her place, I think I would stay away from dating. The poor woman has a REALLY bad taste for men.

Well, I am human too, a weird one tho. XD
Thank you for wishing me well. Hope you have a somewhat happy life with everything that is going on right now.
