I don't have any expectations regarding this drama, after I thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 GNR stories. But the first episode feels poignant and introspective. Interesting counterpoint to the flamboyant showing off of wealth in the last story.
Plus good to see some sexual tension right here. Gigie makes me bat for the opposite team even for a moment, haha.
I saw some comments over at YouTube pointing out some differences between Episode 16 Thai and its counterpart…
- The discussion about the dead body, that someone actually died and no one claimed her. It wasn't brought up in the Korean version at all. - The heart-to-heart talk between Gun and his mom in the hospital scene.
I saw some comments over at YouTube pointing out some differences between Episode 16 Thai and its counterpart episode in Korean. (I still have hope that maybe the ending will be somewhat different. Hah.)
I started watching this with really low expectations, but now I am loving this lakorn. This is another example,…
You gotta watch Pong's other drama that aired right after this entitled "Better Off Mine". It's a melodrama and Pong seems to be a faithful husband there.
To be fair to Krist, IMO this is his best straight role. And I really find his acting way better than his Korean counterpart (although the latter is more "eye candy" and convincing as a swimmer).
Episode 4 sets the bar high for GMMTV brand of comedy. Was really shaking quite hard while laughing from Parts 1-3.
Part 4 was a sucker punch though, and I love how the background of Danglek/Duchess has grounded the show. Yes, it appears that it's not taking itself seriously, but I love that the characters aren't mere caricatures or abstract personalities.
I really hope that Nat won't fall for Mind just because he sees what could have been a nicer version of Meen in her. Let Mind be herself, and only Gun sees her for who see is. #GunMind #NatMeen #PeteLayla
ep11 - that was really great that they added the backstory! It was really needed so that we could understand the…
In the original, the back story of Nat promising Meen the medal was aired around Episode 1. I like the reframing they did here, since it actually suited the context of Nat realising that Meen is already gone for good (or so he thought).
Last Sunday's episode got a 0.6, its all-time high to-date. This is averaging at around 0.4 so far. This is impressive considering GMM25 is only getting a 0.1 average for all its shows on a weekly/monthly basis. (It's not even Top 10 in the network ratings.)
Amongst GMMTV dramas, this is the 2nd highest-rated for 2020 (behind "2gether"). If we consider dramas all the way back from 2018, only "2gether" and "The Sand Princess" have a higher average rating than this.

I'm happy that he's got a lead role for his first GMMTV project. GMM Bravo should have given him bigger roles.
