Honestly, this was a bit of a bore. I thought the leads lacked chemistry and this is the first time I thought to myself that opposites really don't attract. It was really hard for me to believe by the end of it that they liked each other. I wasn't a huge fan of the female lead, the character nor the actress. Also, Yoshida has to be one of the most annoying characters I have ever come across.
It's so funny because this drama doesn't really do anything new, it follows drama tropes, and yet when I watched it it felt like a fresh breath of air. I was truly invested in the story from beginning to end.
When I first heard about this lakorn I was excited for it because the pairing would be Bella and Pong. I love…
It turned into a horror film in those last few episodes. The abuse Jai Rerng was facing was scary and the scenes were endless. I had to start skipping them.
When I first heard about this lakorn I was excited for it because the pairing would be Bella and Pong. I love them both as actors and I was interested to see what their chemistry would be like… but then I read the synopsis and I knew this was not going to be good. If you want to be entertained then I recommend it but other than that this lakorn is just plain stupid.
My first problem with this lakorn is that the synopsis is misleading. Rerk does not sleep with Jai Rerng to take revenge. He does it simply because he wants to sleep with her. Never did I get the impression with the intimate scenes that he had with her that it was out of revenge. Love? No. Lust? Yes. It annoyed me when he told this to Pim and she herself started to believe it. If this was revenge, it was the worst plan ever.
My second problem is that all of the characters are black and white. There are no gray areas in this lakorn what so ever. Pim’s the perfect wife and the perfect best friend. But I just thought she was plain stupid. Who would ever allow their husband to live with their ex-girlfriend? She was a witness to the relationship Rerk had with Jai Rerng. She knew how much Rerk had loved Jai Rerng and saw how depressed he had been when she left him, but you would still allow them to live together. Her reasoning is that if Rerk was really over Jai Rerng he wouldn’t be so bothered by her. It was the dumbest reasoning ever.
Then you have Jai Rerng and the problem I have with her character is that she was just crazy in the beginning. I wanted the writers to show this amazing friendship that Pim had with Jai Rerng to show why she would be so willing to wholeheartedly believe in her, but every time they had moments together, the writers would overshadow it with Jai Rerng being obviously crazy. She would say and do things that made me think why is Pim friends with her in the first place.
From the beginning, I knew how this lakorn would end, especially when Jai Rerng got pregnant. I knew that if she had the baby, Pim would be the one to take care of it, and Jai Rerng was going to die or go to jail. So, I wasn’t that surprised nor could I feel as much sympathy as I wanted to when she died. Any emotion I did feel was because Janie is a good actress.
The thing about Jai Rerng is that by the end of the lakorn, I truly started to see the hypocrisy with those around her. When she first has the baby, everyone gets on her about being a bad mother, but no one says anything to Rerk who disappeared leaving her with the baby by herself. He called her a bad mother and that was true, but I’m like you’re a bad father for not being there either. Also, why did Pim even contemplate dating Terd when he had also cheated on Jai Rerng? Also, if were speaking about loyalty and friendship here, who dates their best friend’s ex-boyfriend and ex-husband?
I actually wished the lakorn would have followed the synopsis more. It would have been interesting to see Rerk marry Pim in order to get revenge on Jai Rerng, and then maybe later down the line he realizes that he is falling in love with Pim
Oh, and no surprise in Pim choosing to stay with Rerk. I couldn’t even be mad because I knew that was how it was going to end.
Rewatching this lakorn all I can think to myself is what happened Bomb. You were okay in this, not the best especially in certain scenes when you had to convey emotions other than happiness. Then to see you in Cubic, it's like you've never acted a day in your life before.
I thought the first two episodes were boring and it wasn’t until I got to the end of episode 3 where it clicked…
Wow. This is longer than I expected. Lol!
By the way, I really enjoyed Chaiewoy's character. It was refreshing to have a second male lead who wasn't super aggressive, nor delusional, though I did not care for his love story with the other girl.
I thought the first two episodes were boring and it wasn’t until I got to the end of episode 3 where it clicked for me that there was something good about this lakorn. The conversation they had finally gave a perspective on their motivations even if their initial motivation is lacking severely. Chitchaba wanted to make Patawee suffer and she was going to win him over. So even if he could call her his mistress she wouldn’t let him enjoy. Patawee wanted to break her resolve down so he could win her over and break her. It was truly a game but at the second half of this lakorn, it becomes an annoying one.
I liked Chitchaba in the beginning. I loved that she refused to let anyone see her hurt. I also liked that the lakorn took time to explore her loneliness. She doesn’t really have friends and she has lost her father. She is truly on her own inside of that big house. I also enjoyed that she did not immediately fall for Patawee. But later on, she started to annoy me with her “this is a game” talk. What I liked about Patawee was that he was less aggressive than other male leads in Slap N’ Kiss lakorns, but that’s about it. I felt like there was nothing else about his character that stood out to me at all.
For a few episodes in the middle, I was truly enjoying it- the banter, the game. I didn't even mind when he let the secretaries into the house because it only proved how much he was willing to hurt Chitchaba at his fiancee's expense. And then the lakorn goes bat shit crazy when Som falls down the stairs.
The biggest problem with this lakorn is the idea of it is lacking itself. Patawee has no real hate for Chitchaba and to be honest it didn’t feel like he had it for the father either. I’ve seen better revenge lakorns that showcases the turmoil that the male lead is facing and this doesn’t do a good job of it. Second, Chitchaba’s reasoning for becoming Patawee’s mistress is stupid. Her argument is that it’s memories but I really felt that she did not have enough special connections to that house for her to be willing to stay as his mistress. Those flashbacks between her and her father in the house did not sell the idea to me either. Both of these characters lacked real motivation and passion for what they were trying to achieve, so by the end of it, their whole game seems pointless and childish.
Also what annoyed me is Som’s death. It was an easy way out in my opinion. First, no one ever got on her about lying and letting Chitchaba stay in jail in the first place. Second, it took away the complex choice Patawee would have to make if she was alive. Did he really love Som? Did he love her enough that he would let Chitchaba go? That really annoyed me because we could have spent time on that instead of Som’s mother stupid storyline.
And a big thing that is lacking is the romance and passion. Too much time is spent with our leads being petty towards each other, especially in the later half. They never truly set up that Chitchaba has serious romantic feelings for Patawee, or if Patawee loved her more than his lackluster revenge plan. I wanted to see both leads be conflicted in their feelings for each other.
Honestly, when Nee died I did not feel any sympathy for her. Too bad Pong didn't go with her. I could not stand either of them. Nee was a pathological liar and she was always threatening to kill herself. Pong was just an idiot and dumb enough to believe her pregnancy when she had nothing to show for it.
Also, Tos annoyed me when he so easily believed Bow to kill his sister. Especially, when his sister would do so many bad things in front of him, but he would never think the worst of her.
Wow. This lakorn is bat shit crazy. I predicated everything but that’s because I’ve watched enough lakorns to know how crazy the writers can be. Weir and Pinky have lots of chemistry… and Weir looks hot once again, with the exception of that ridiculous beard they gave him.
Though this lakorn was crazy, one thing bothered me the most.
Pong’s fucking hair! I just wanted to shave the shit off or snatch it off. Like I know it’s not a wig but I just wanted to pull it off because that’s how ridiculous and perfect it looked. I couldn’t take him seriously at all. All I could think to myself is no one could possibly like this guy with his dumb ass hair.
And I hated Bow’s parents especially her father. They were idiots along with everyone else.
The Good: Weir looks hot. The leads have chemistry. Haruethai. Strong female lead.
The Bad: Everything else.
I only watched this because I’ve been going on a Weir Lakorn Watching Binge. He’s really handsome and he is not a bad actor either. And honestly, you will have a great time just looking at him. The problem with this lakorn is that the plot sucks. It gets really ridiculous by the end. All of the characters are either idiots or psychotic with the exception of the leads. Most of the characters make stupid choices. Kamin is supposed to be this honorable soldier who always put his duty first. I didn’t mind it until he started to take it way too far. It went from an honorable soldier to just a plain fool.
The ending also annoyed me. We find out Kamin is a prince but this really leads to nowhere because Mackey is still crowned King. His reasoning is that he was meant to protect and Mackey was meant to rule. And that just left me baffled because Mackey is not meant to rule anything. He was a horrible prince and they never showed him become a good one. It would have made perfect sense for Kamin to become king because he actually cared about the people.
I suggest watching this to look at Weir. The first half of the show is kind of fun too. Also, the leads do have chemistry but I don’t think their cute moments were enough to warrant the time that was wasted watching all the other Raya drama. I also enjoyed the character Haruethai. It was nice watching her grow from an idiot to a strong woman. The only shame in her plot line is their ending for her. She should have ended up with Sinthorn.
Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun with this lakorn, although it is not perfect. I thought Kwang and Phu were really cute together. Everyone talks about how handsome Weir is and I definitely saw it with this lakorn. Anyone else wearing these mafia suits would look cheesy, but he made every suit and crazy print look good. Seeing him shirtless every episode was a plus too.
I’m also surprised that I was not super annoyed with the female lead. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a complete idiot, but I gained respect for her and how she persevered even when she lost everything.
The character I hated most had to be the dad hands down. It just annoyed me that he was having so many children and then when things got hard, he just disappeared and started another family. I’m like damn were you even looking for your old family after you left them with all that debt. He really pissed me off and then when they tried to show his new family being happy with his old family, I couldn’t believe it.
And Vii’s ass was just crazy with that horrible wig. I couldn’t even hate her because I had the hardest time understanding her. She was completely delusional. It annoyed me that she was okay with Watanee being around but she couldn’t accept Kwang. Her reasoning is that Phu didn’t love Watanee and she could still be the most important person by his side. And then she tries to take revenge on him for him not loving her. All I could think to myself is maybe, just maybe, it would help if you tell him you’re in love with him.
Besides, the many misunderstandings, I had fun with it. Phu and Kwang are really cute even though I must admit in the beginning when she’s still in school it’s somewhat disturbing to see that he has a crush on her.
If you watch this drama choosing to ignore how dumb the plot is, you’ll probably still enjoy it. I thought I could but the ending pissed me off so bad, I couldn’t ignore it. I had been waiting to see what would happen if she was revealed as a girl, but colored me surprise when it’s revealed at the last episode and no one cared. The plot is literally about her pretending to be a boy and yet this drama fails to do that properly because the writers have never heard of consequences. There should always be a consequence to the choice that characters make.
What will happen if Ya Nuo was revealed as a girl? Not a damn thing.
Zi Feng doesn't get angry with her for lying to him and making him question his sexuality. Everyone is accepting of him dating a male, at least everyone that counts. And when people find out she's a girl, nothing happens. Nothing happens at all.
I would have been okay with it, if they showed horrible things happen to her when she is dressed as a girl. It would have made me more accepting of her parents being superstitious. But when dressed as a girl, nothing bad happens to her.
Even with how dumb the plot is, I was going to give it an 8 because at times it was fun and the chemistry between the leads were great, but as the drama continued to progress to nowhere with boring plotlines and a horrible ending, I had to rate it much lower.
I'm very surprised by how much I enjoyed this lakorn, especially the action because it usually sucks. But in this one, it was fairly good and often it looked like the female lead did most of her stunts. Speaking of the female lead, she is awesome. I love how smart and badass she was. And for once it was refreshing to see a female lead who was not super crazy over the male lead. Nu Muk loved him but I love that she did not allow it to get in the way of her job.
Bejr was also refreshing to watch too and I was really surprised by his character. Usually, in lakorns you have the male leads being overly macho and usually the female leads are crying on their shoulder. In this one, it was often Bejr seeking Nu Muk for comfort. He had complete trust in her and was never afraid to tell her how much he loved her. I was swooning when he told her it didn't matter the secret she had because he still loved her and trusted her.
I also thought this had better pacing than most lakorns. It wasn't perfect, a few scenes or two could have been cut, but I'm glad they avoided making the last few episodes over the top like they always do. I'm also glad we didn't have a big misunderstanding between our leads. I was expecting the last few episodes to be of Bejr being mad at Nu Muk for lying to him about being an Interpol agent and then to suffer through scenes of him claiming that she never loved him. It was nice to bypass the foolishness for once. Overall, great lakorn. Great leads. Great actress. Good story and good pacing.
But I will say I didn't like how crazy they made Chenchob. They always go the super crazy route for their antagonist.
The only saving grace of this lakorn is the chemistry between the leads. The plot isn’t bad, it’s just repetitive as hell. I’ve never seen a female lead get kidnapped the amount of times this one did. After a while, I found their arguments to be more repetitive than entertaining. It’s a shame it took them to the very last episode to both admit their feelings for each other, or at least be cordial with each other enough that they didn’t bicker every two seconds. In the last episode, their chemistry was on fire. I also agree that tape kiss was cute.
The actor who plays the male lead is really good in this. I found him to be charming. But speaking on the character itself, I found it frustrating how hypocritical he was. The female lead is not the brightest. She just made dumb decisions or no decisions at all. I appreciated when she tried to get better at protecting herself.
I'm not ashamed to say I was clapping when the uncle and Nit died. It's just a shame the brother didn't go with them. They were incredible annoying and whiny and ungrateful. I'm surprised the mom didn't just write them off, family or not.
Overall, it's enjoyable if you ignore the repetitive plot and pay attention to the two leads. For its time, the action was better than I thought it would be.
