Though I thought all of the actors were good in this, I did not enjoy the story like I wanted to. It's not a bad story but it is a little boring. People seemed to be bothered by the age gap between the leads but that did not bother me. What bothered me was the lack of scenes that were supposed to showcase their chemistry. I feel like in other revenge themed dramas like this, the male lead has scenes that are able to show that despite how much he hates the female lead that he does feel something even when he doesn't want to. This lakorn lacks those scenes. I thought one of the few moments that showed there was something between them was the kitchen scene. I really thought they displayed their chemistry there but its not enough.

It was really hard for me to believe that Kangsadarn would have chose Purim over Gai. It made no sense to me. Purim treated her so bad and he was barely ever nice to her. When she passed out in the bathroom he left her there, though he did think she was faking it but it still showed how much he hated her. Even after Purim realizes his feelings for her, he still treats her bad. Who has the girl they are in love with plan for their wedding with another woman? Then he does the big surprise that Kangsadarn is the girl he actually wants to marry instead of Dao but it was so stupid to me. You want her to love you, not hate you. I didn't mind it at first because clearly he was trying to make her jealous to realize that she loved him too but he took it way too far. I really thought that Kangsadarn should have chosen Gai who treated her way better. Hell, she should have chosen Santhat and I did not even want her to be with him.

The only saving grace for this lakorn is that the actors actually do a good job. Purim and Kangsadarn would have been an odd couple by age and also the simple fact that he did previously have a relationship with her mother, but if the writers actually showed me why she fell in love with Purim I would have enjoyed it more. I have seen worse male leads than Purim and I've been able to understand why the female lead chooses them. This lakorn failed to do that.

Easy watch overall.

Does anyone know where I can find this with subs?

This lakorn was very entertaining and I actually enjoyed it a lot. I avoided it at first because everyone was saying how bad the male lead was and even the synopsis made me wary. But it was really good and I thought the characters were very good because to a certain extent I was able to understand their motivations. I don't mind main characters being the bad guys or the villains, as long as they have the right motivation to do so. If they don't have it then the drama fails itself, but luckily despite how most of these characters are I think the writers wrote it in a way that we're able to understand their motivations even if we do not agree with it our self.

Like others have said before Kim is horrible. He is one of the most selfish male leads I've ever come across. But I did think he was in love with Mook no matter how horrible he was. He was just caught up in his revenge that made him extremely selfish and unable to love Mook properly. He was so caught up in putting Tada in jail for what happened to his sister that he could not think straight. I think the actor did a good job with showing emotion with this character and giving it empathy. Though it was a few scenes where I felt like he was lacking but overall I enjoyed Kim. He's a guy set out on revenge and does not want to lose the love of his life in the process, and yet he is willing to hurt her every step of the way in order to get her brother's confession.

I also like how they show that revenge can change you. Kim turned into what he did not want to become and that was Tada.

I liked Mook's character. Most female leads like this I usually hate because she isn't one that speaks up for herself a lot, but for some reason she did not annoy me at all. Actually, I was able to understand her and why it was so hard for her to leave Kim. She had been with Kim for a long time previous to the death of his sister and they were about to get married. He also just lost his sister and so she can feel empathy for him because of that. They were very much in love and I like that the lakorn took the time to show that because if the viewers did not get to see that, I think we would have all thought that Mook was the biggest idiot in history. We see that she loves him and that she wants him to be the old Kim, but I like that she was able to see that he was changing and how selfish he had become.

Overall, I think this lakorn was really good. I definitely do not recommend coming into this lakorn thinking you're going to see a sweet romance or one of the sweet slap and kiss lakorns. Though Mook and Kim have sweet scenes, there few compared to how much pain Kim causes everyone else. Also if you think there is going to be the redemption episodes like a lot of slap and kiss lakorns do, this is not the one.

And by the way, someone says below that Kim rapes the female lead but he never does that. Everything between Kim and Mook is mutual. This lakorn also contains a lot of skinship compared to other lakorns I've seen before.

I'm excited to see James again. I hope that James and Kim will be a good pairing.

What annoyed me the most about Thae is her sudden personality change. At the beginning she is a rude, spoiled, and mean. Then when her and Pitt get together she suddenly turns into the nicest girl ever. It was mind boggling to me that she could not see the things Ravee was doing, especially since Ravee was doing the same things that Thae did in the beginning.

Wow. I can't put this lakorn in words. It was only 14 episodes and yet it felt like I watched 30. Where this drama fails is the characters itself. I'm used to watching a lakorn where the male lead is mistaken about the female lead and I had no problem with that, but I really did not like Marwin. He wasn't one of the worst male leads I've come across, but he just annoyed me with how bratty he was. His insistent need to bother Prae and force her to say she loves him back was extremely annoying. That leads me to how Prae annoyed me as well too. I found it frustrating that pretty much for the whole lakorn I had to watch her refuse to say she loved Marwin back. I mean at first I understood because she did not want to ruin her friendship but halfway through the lakorn, Ratee slapped her so many times I did not understand why she did not realize that their friendship was over and she did not owe Ratee anything. Every time Marwin or Inthon would ask her to choose she would refuse. By the time it got to like episode 12 and she still refused to admit it, I found it to be very annoying.

Ratee is one of the most frustrating characters that I have come across. I thought she was the worst friend possible, especially because she was so damn fickle. It would be moments that we would see the good in her, but they were so few compared to how much of a horrible friend she was. And she was kept saying that she loved Marwin when it was clear that it was because of his money. It was also clear in the beginning that Marwin was treating Prae horribly but she did not care at all. I also found Chanon to be annoying and I found myself not caring about his story line. He was just as fickle as Ratee when it came down to friendship. One moment he was claiming that he was on Ratee's side and the next moment he was running to Prae begging for help. But in all honestly, I did not care about the storyline between him and Nara, or the oldest sister for that matter.

Inthon was a character I did not mind for some reason. I think it might have been that he was most open with his feelings from the start. Or that I really felt bad for his situation. I didn't really love his character but he did not bother me as much as the other characters did.

I also felt like I was watching the same conversations over and over again. Marwin begging Prae to say she loves him. Inthon begging Prae to be with him or admit that she loves Marwin. Marwin and Inthon both fighting over Prae. Ratee slapping Prae. Chanon moping. Nara moping. It was so annoying.

If anything this lakorn is more so about bad friendships than the rich vs. the poor.

I hope Ratee gets better because right now I cannot stand her. She's so delusion and blind. If I was Prae I would have been dropped her as a friend.

I so agree with this. So many people wanted her to catch the criminal, but you're right. She's not a hero. From the beginning she has already said that she does not use her powers. It would make sense that in that moment she was more worried about making sure her friend was alive.

Plus, the show would be over. Lol!

Min Hyuk is such a refreshing male lead character. I love how open he is with his crush on Bong Soon. I love the way he looks at her.

Though I did enjoy this drama because it was downright hilarious at times, I also have so many gripes with it as well too. The idea of the plot kind of bothered me from the start. The goal is to stop Poom from getting married to the girl his mom wants him to marry to, but it was weird to me that they would hire someone to play his wife when Poom is trying to stay single so he will be able to marry Deun. I understand that Deun was in England and could not be there but it would make more sense to me if they tried to get someone who looked like Deun at least. All I kept thinking is what is he going to tell his parents when Deun comes back? "Oh this girl here is the fake girl I'm married to, but this girl is the one I'm getting married to now" I thought the plan was stupid honestly. The grandmother was falling in love with the idea of Yai being her in law, not Deun.

And even when Poom confesses his love for Yai, she won't accept it. Though I do understand why she doesn't want to because she doesn't want to be a horrible friend, but it was weird to me that she was still trying to hide it from Deun. I'm like even if Deun forgives Poom and he decides to marry her, do you think no one in that house will ever not mention you. Eventually it was going to come out that you were married to him. You can't hide something like that when everyone in the house knew.

I also found it interesting that the male lead was such a player too. He would fall for any good looking girl including Yai though he was supposed to be in love with Deun. I watched a few episodes of the original version and I don't remember the male lead being such a player. Though I did not mind that his character was like that, it kind of ruined the romance for me because he was always falling for some random girl. It made me question if his feelings for Yai were even genuine.

Also, Poom finds out that his father was cheating on his mother and he's really upset and bothered by this. All I was thinking to myself was like father, like son. I mean he was constantly cheating on Deun so I found it strange that he was so bothered by his father's situation when he kept doing the same thing. I know that because it was his own father it was different, but I was hoping that they would use this situation to open his eyes and make him realize that he should be more faithful to the person he was in love with (Yai or Deun. Lol who ever he is in love with at the moment.) But it never really feels like that.

It's not horrible. I found it funny and I would burst out into laughter because of our male lead. And though I questioned if Poom's feelings for Yai were even real till the end, I still enjoyed their relationship and I like their chemistry. I was never really bored either.

I really loved Bella in this one. She was hilarious and it seemed like her and Andrew were having a blast the whole time. My favorite scene is when she got the girls to slap each other over Paya. Her character was awesome and a joy to watch.

But if this show did not have Bella and Andrew it would be really boring. Towards the end I felt like it was dragging especially with the amnesia plot line that went on for too long. It felt like everyone knew but Mekkala at one point. I also thought that she was angry with Paya for too long. Though she had every right to be angry with him, it was annoying to watch for so many episodes.

And the sound track to make the noises on funny moments was too much at times. It took away the humor from the scenes for me.

But besides those things Bella and Andrew were perfect in here. In some scenes I thought they were just genuinely laughing with each other.

I agree with everything you've said. I usually have a hard time giving Lakorns high ratings because some times I think they're over the top and way too dramatic. I mean they're entertaining still nonetheless lol but I still think they are too dramatic. Especially some of the acting and their second lead characters. For once, I did not think one of the second leads were crazy to be crazy. I like how they showed why Wan was the way she was. I also like that Sasi was a very sweet girl because it did not make it easy for Chanon to choose. I thought Andrew did a great job with this role and he really brought a lot out of the character. I'm now going to binge watch his other lakorns now. I thought the characters were well thought out and I love how opposite Chanon and Rasa's views were. The relationship between them was perfect and I loved the development, especially the first moment when they kiss. I thought it was perfect because Rasa is so head strong and she does not bow down to anyone. I think Chanon is so use to everyone listening to him. He tells his brother what to do and his father and Sasi. In that moment, I could see how frustrated he was with Rasa because he could not get her to bend to his will. This was the one time that I liked the 'slap n' kiss' moment despite there being no slap. He was so frustrated with her that the only thing he could do to shut her up was kiss her. And then he kissed her again. I was swooning.

I also loved how honest they were with each other. No unnecessary misunderstandings between them. They told each other how they felt.

All the characters were well developed.

Now I'm just waiting for someone to finish subbing the rest of the episodes.

I cannot stop freaking smiling! They are so cute together!

Lee Sung Kyung is doing such a great job with this role! I hope to see her as a lead more often.

I don't know either but she is so annoying! I just want to jump through my computer screen and ring her neck. I wish that the family would have gotten on her a bit more about her hatred towards Chai Ruj. For her to say it was out of love annoyed the life out of me. It was clear as day that she was taking out her hate on him.

I wanted to love this drama but she annoyed me too. She made very childish decisions and most of the time I wanted them to break up. Lol!

I agree! Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won have no chemistry at all together and that sucks. Especially since the plot itself isn't strong I expect the romance to be stronger but I don't buy their relationship at all. I shipped her with the Boss and Ji Soo more than her two male leads.

I agree. I actually liked her at first because of the friendship she had with James. I liked that he saw the true her and how hurt she was by her father. It made me understand why she liked him so much but she just went crazier and crazier. It was so freaking annoying especially when James would fall into her plan.

I overall loved Reply 1988 and I do think its the best one in the series but I will say that I'm disappointed in how they handled Deok Sun's love story. I understand that they wanted to do the whole husband mystery thing again but this time I think they took it too far. I hated that we had to wait until epsiode 19 to see Deok Sun have feelings for anyone on her own. At this point I could have really cared less for who Deok Sun liked herself because I feel like we as the viewers had waited so long that we already chose who we liked for her on our own. I will admit that I was a fan of Junghwan. Why? Because I loved all their moments together, the way he loved her, and the way he cared for her was so sweet. In the first half of this drama there is a lot of focus on their relationship together and even afterwards there is still focus on how Junghwan feels about Deok Sun. This is not to say that Deok Sun does not have moments with Taek. I just always felt like she was more so taking care of him like a little brother.

But this isn't really about Junghwan versus Taek. Despite the simple fact that I wanted her to be with Junghwan I accept that Deok Sun chose Taek. I just feel like they should have gave them more time together like they did with other couples in the show. I see the other couples like Bora and Sunwoo and the way they developed their relationships and I can't help but feel that they robbed them from that type of development just to keep it a mystery. I would have liked to see Deok Sun have more time with Taek. I hope they don't do that in the next show. I don't mind the mystery but don't sacrifice the love story because of it.

It just broke my heart to see Perry Park go. I can't imagine how much I'm going to cry when the rest leave.
