I'm a huge fan of hate to love premise and this drama delivered in that respect. The leads are such strong actors oozing with chemistry. Aum is so good at playing bad boys and he looks great while at it, too. I also really like the female lead. She displays mental fortitude in the face of many challenges brought upon by Aum's character. I loved her bring-it-on attitude. It was amusing to see him get all worked up because of her. But when she starts to understand him, she shows maturity and guides him in the right direction. In a way, it is a story about one man's journey to learn to love again and become human in the process. You can expect gun fights, violence and abuse against women and children here, as is typical of Lakorns. But as described, there was plenty to love about this drama. I enjoyed it (but do note that I did skip anything unrelated to the leads).

This was certainly not a perfect drama. It started out refreshingly different but ended up predictable. Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, largely due to how charming Moon Ga Young was in portraying Ju Kyung. She was so endearingly funny and genuinely cute that it was hard to dislike her, even when she made questionable choices. Also, I may be in the minority here, but, I am team Su Ho (Cha Eun Woo) all the way. I liked Hwang In Yeop's Seo Jun very much but there was no denying Su Ho's (character) attractiveness in a conventional way. Anyway, so much happened in each episode that words would not do justice to convey how entertaining this show was, so just go watch it!

This was such a fun ride. And they took the tag “steamy kiss” to a whole new level. Hands down, theirs was the best “finally, they did the deed” scene in all of dramaland, ha. They looked so natural, so real, so good together that I felt as if I was intruding on their privacy for watching. Come for the meta references and the sizzling romance and you won't be disappointed.

I actually really liked that aspect of the story. I sooo wanted to see more of what happened while she was held captive. I felt the flashbacks added depth to the story.

She is! And nothing gets past her, haha.

No, I haven't seen The Wolf but it is on my to-watch list.

I'm sorry to hear that but I would encourage you to continue!

I'm still not over this drama. Made me a fan out of Tsao Yu Ning. If looks could set people on fire, his would be it. I know it's been done a million times but his cold exterior while burning like charcoal inside for the heroine had me captivated. His chemistry with the heroine was palpable, who, by the way, was also easy to like; a perfect balance of delicate and strong. This was truly an unexpected gem of a drama.

I am so glad you wrote this article, otherwise I don't think I would have picked this drama up. I binged it in two days and it made me a fan out of Tsao Yu Ning. He reminded me occasionally of Lee Min-ki or Kang Ha-neul or Yeo Jin -goo, but mostly I just thought he was HOT. I loved his chemistry with the lead actress, who was also effortlessly charming. This was such a fun, zippy ride, with the serious scenes intense and the fun, light scenes such mood lifters. And I wish we got to see more of the past, which was always super interesting. Thanks again for recommending!

I was pleasantly surprised by this drama. Despite the premise, the leads' meet cute is one of the cutest I've ever seen. I couldn't stop giggling. He's so bemused and she's so bright and from their very first interaction, I was rooting for them already, even though it was obvious this is going to be a story about star-crossed lovers. Also, the criminal world that this is set in is convincing. The villains are tough, smart and ruthless. They are also layered that you don't feel as if they are evil for the sake of being evil. From the leads to the supporting characters, there is strong acting all around. Although I agree with others that the first half is better than the second and I struggled to finish somewhat, it's a well made drama overall that definitely deserves a higher rating.

I wanted to add my two cents here because I see a lot of positive comments for which I share the same sentiment. It took me about two months before I could move on to the next drama after watching Hua Jai Sila and I'm one of those that watch 2, 3 dramas at a time. I've said this before; I consider it to be one of the best dramas I've ever seen. Also, it reminded me of k-melodrama oldies like What Happened in Bali and Que Sera Sera (fitting, as I think this was a remake of a drama from the same time period). So intense, messy, not afraid to push boundaries, and utterly romantic; it was a great watch.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Hua Jai Sila yet. As a disclaimer, I'll admit that I am by no means an expert on Thai dramas, as I've only seen two. But I am a veteran Asian drama watcher and I absolutely fell in love with Hua Jai Sila. I consider it to be one of the best revenge romance melodramas I've ever seen. Also, it reminded me of k-melodrama oldies like What Happened in Bali and Que Sera Sera (fitting, as I think this was a remake of a drama from the same time period). So intense, messy, not afraid to push boundaries, and utterly romantic; it was a great watch.
