WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM THIS? Don't rush into marriage. Build a strong foundation first, know each other inside…
I used to think the same thing, but one thing I've learned is that time is not indicative of anything. You can be married to someone for twenty years or more and still get a divorce. So, it wouldn't have mattered if they dated for five years before they got married. Their divorce still could have ended just like this. It's realizing that in relationships people change, people grow, and feelings change. You can build a foundation with someone, and still later on your paths can start to diverge, and by then, it doesn't matter how much marriage counseling you get.

Review Before We Get Married Spoiler
I agreed with so many points you made. The portrayals of the second leads were the worst thing about this drama. Zi Yuan is your typical psycho girlfriend who lacks depth. And it was at one point that the only thing I could do was sigh every time she came on the screen because it annoyed me that she was repeating the same things. It would have been much better if she at least tried to become an independent person, but she doesn't and instead acts unreasonably all the time.

Then you had Hao Yi who goes from clueless boyfriend to a flat-out psycho and abuser in the last episode. It didn't feel authentic to me at all. The whole time I always felt like they were trying to make excuses for Wei Wei cheating, but nothing Hao Yi did ever warranted her running to Ke Huan. "You pushed me away!" Well, either break up with him or tell him that. "Sister Maizi." You've almost had sex with Ke Huan twice! And though the first time, Wei Wei supposedly did it for their relationship, it's still cheating regardless. You would have thought they were dirt poor or something, but they weren't. Wei Wei was wrong, but by the end, she started to act like she had the right to cheat on Hao Yi. It doesn't matter if she didn't go all the way with Ke Huan, she still cheated on Hao Yi regardless.

By the end of it, they throw every trope out there to make Hao Yi the worst boyfriend in history, and for no reason. The reasons they gave in the beginning were enough. I thought the loan situation was believable until he suddenly didn't understand basic comprehension skills. It was like Wei Wei was talking to a wall no matter how plainly she would tell him things. Hao Yi was clueless, but he wasn't that stupid.

Frustrating was definitely the word to describe this drama.

I've been wondering why he hasn't appeared in any dramas recently, just to realize he enlisted. I can't wait for him to make his comeback.

It's less about sugarcoating and more about them just telling a reality. There are a million and one reasons why…
Really, there are. Of course, a million is an exaggeration. But everyone has their reasons even if you only see them as excuses. Someone could say that Wei Wei's reasons for cheating are excuses as well to.

People cheat because they feel lonely, or because they're drunk, or because they want to feel desired, or because they are looking for something their partner can't give them whether it's emotionally or sexually, or because they fall in love with someone else, or, to put it plainly, because their libido is up at the moment. And of course, you have those who cheat because they can. You have those who don't care about their partner's feelings at all. The list goes on.

But even with those reasons, or excuses, cheating is still wrong.

Title Before We Get Married Spoiler
I'm just curious. What do they mean by betrayal in this show? when is it okay to say that one of them cheated…
It's less about sugarcoating and more about them just telling a reality. There are a million and one reasons why people cheat, and yet nonetheless, it doesn't change the fact that those people have hurt someone. Just like it doesn't change the fact that Wei Wei has hurt Hao Yi even if he was treating her poorly. For an outsider, if they heard about this they would simply ask why Wei Wei didn't break up with Hao Yi and call her a bad person. But because we are given an insider perspective, we know that Wei Wei has been struggling with her feelings for Ke Huan. I always say that you can't control your feelings but you can control your actions, and that's why I think Wei Wei is wrong. To be honest, she's crossed a line a long time ago and I think she still wants to think that she's innocent, when in actuality, she isn't. She has kissed Ke Huan's multiple times and almost had sex with him multiple times. As viewers, we're on her side because we see it from her perspective, but had this come from Hao Yi's perspective we would hate her. Hao Yi isn't the best boyfriend but it doesn't change the fact that she has cheated on him, whether it was emotional cheating or physical.

Actually, now that I think about it. I see a lot of people trash Hao Yi, reasonably so, but no one says anything about Wei Wei at all. It's not like Wei Wei didn't know Hao Yi was like this. She's known this from the beginning but she made a choice to be with him anyway. My thing is that once she realized who Hao Yi was she had two choices-- either leave or stay. And she made a choice to stay, so that means that she should end her relationship with Ke Huan completely, but she doesn't. Wei Wei might think she hasn't betrayed Hao Yi, but she did it a long time ago. Let's say that Hao Yi was going through the same exact situation as her with his boss, and he realizes that it's certain things about Wei Wei that he doesn't like. If he told her he had made out with his boss and that he almost had sex with her to pay for their new home, I doubt she would be very understanding about it.

Quite frankly, everyone is wrong in this situation. Wei Wei should have cut all ties with Ke Huan but she didn't. Ke Huan shouldn't be chasing after someone in a relationship. And also, though he didn't love Zi Yuan, he was in a relationship with her and should have respected it, but instead he cheated on her. Hao Yi needs to be a better boyfriend and it seems like he might be falling for temptation himself. And Zi Yuan just needs help. My pride hurts just watching her chase after Ke Huan.

Cheating can be emotional or physical, but regardless, they hurt relationships all the same. And I don't think the drama is trying to justify it. That's why they call shows like these mature, though right now I'm not sure if BWGM is the best example of it. It's about understanding and realizing that as human beings all of us are flawed and relationships are not as pretty as dramas make them seem. That's not to say that every relationship encounters cheating, though I will say that I think all of them encounter temptation. It just comes down to a choice whether to act on your feelings or not, and in this drama, Wei Wei has acted on her feelings.

huh? A second lead or will 3 of them be together?
Lol. I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I've never seen a lakorn handle a polyamorous relationship before, so I'm more inclined to believe it will be a love triangle, but who knows. I'll watch either way because I'm excited to see Push and Pooklook togehter.

Title Raeng Tian Spoiler
Uhm doesn't Samee tee Tra have a completely different storyline except for the part where she kinda hates men
Well, that's why I said the plot sounds similar, not exactly the same. Ploy will be playing a similar role to the one she played in Samee Tee Tra and the set up is similar. An angry, bitter woman who no longer believes in love finds her second chance with a man much better than the guy she had before. And though I doubt the male lead will be as nice as Pope's character, if he's willing to help her through rehab, I'm pretty sure he's better than his brother. So, the set up is somewhat similar but no, I doubt the plot will be exactly the same. Either way, I'm still excited for this.

I love Ploy, and this plot actually sounds very similar to one of my favorites, Samee Tee Tra. So, I'm very excited for this and hopefully one of the subbers are interested in subbing this.

Hi, could you please let me know where to find the last 2 episodes, i tried chobfansub in youtube but it has only…
Actually, episodes 16 and 17 were the two new episodes subbed. Before that, it had been a few years since new subs were uploaded. I'm not sure how long it'll take for the rest of the episodes to come up because its seems that the subbers are busy. But it's nice to know they haven't forgotten about it. I would just check back periodically to see if they update again.

Title La Ong Dao Spoiler
Wow. This was a struggle to watch and that's saying something. I've watched terrible lakorns before and still managed to be entertained, but this was extremely boring.

The story is stuck in limbo for 10 episodes straight. By the time it gets out of limbo, I could care less about the relationship between Dao and Kod. To be honest, I didn't really think they had chemistry anyway. There weren't enough romantic scenes to actually display this. The reason this lakorn is stuck in limbo is because the relationship between Dao and Kod refused to change. Every episode it was Kod trying to be a 'brother' to her and Dao catching an attitude every time he breathed. It wasn't entertaining to watch. It was just boring and extremely repetitive. It takes 10 episodes for them to have any progression. Unfortunately, I had checked out halfway through and also I didn't really see why Dao fell for Kod considering the fact that she either ignored him or avoided him for the duration of three years.

Now, I totally understood why Dao was cold with Kod. When he called her that night, he was extremely hostile and disrespectful. I could see why her pride was hurt. I also don't remember Kod ever really apologizing for it and I don't think that helped either. But as time went on and their relationship was stuck in one place, I just wanted to see it change. I really wish we would have seen the friendship, cordial part of their relationship develop more sooner.

The idea of this lakorn has a lot of potential but the execution was poor. Even with it being more of a romantic drama, than a rom-com, it could have been more entertaining. That's what makes lakorns good despite how bad everything else can be. Unfortunately, the story is too boring, slow, and repetitive. Also, I hate when relationships have no type of progress or development. Had Dao and Kod become closer soon, then it would have been more interesting.

I still want to see the 1991 version of this but I hope it's more entertaining and not as slow.
On Thong EK: The Herbal Master Apr 8, 2019
This was a lot of fun, though I do think a few episodes could have been trimmed off. Kim and Mario were great in this. It was also refreshing to see Kim in a role where she could be more comedic.

I wasn't particularly crazy about the second male lead Kla in the beginning. When he first made his appearance, he started off good but later on, he became so mopey that he felt like a dark spot on a lakorn that was relatively bright most of the times. He was very whiny and entitled. I do think the relationship between Kla and Pong was interesting, especially since it was one of those relationships that started off with no love but more so of them finding intimacy to get past their own pain. But once again, when watching them, it always felt like I was watching a completely different drama because of how dark their relationship was compared to all the light-heartedness that was happening with the rest of the story. Honestly though, I would watch a lakorn that solely focused on their relationship.

Though the dad was funny, he could be extremely annoying. The mom was awesome. Actually, it was fun to watch a family of that class in that time period that didn't take themselves too seriously.

Besides that, overall this lakorn was fun. It wasn't perfect because sometimes I felt the plot could be a bit aimless. But it could be downright hilarious at times and Kim and Mario have nice chemistry.
