What do you mean?

5 episodes in, this show looks so old (older 2008) and feels very boring. Ken is phoning it in (he also looks bored) and the FL never brows never unknotted. I would watch for the doc, but his fate is so obvious, I don't need to be told.

She's such an impressive person! Anytime I see an actor who's also a medical doctor, I'm blown away. Add to that Beauty Queen! How can one person have so many talents!? And she's a pretty good actress too, as seen in Club Friday.

Ok, this show made me understand something about the second lead syndrome: I actually think it's a lesson in life that drama writers have been trying to give us for a long time now.

In this drama, we have on one hand the ML, typical rich guy type; and on the other hand the 2nd ML, who is basically an upgraded, better version of the ML. It's even funny that all three leads get to live together for a little while, so that you can really see how much better of a man the second ML is. And yet we all knew who she was gonna choose in the end. At the end though I got it. I don't wanna spoil but let's just stay that anytime the FL needs help, she asks the 2d ML and he always kindly help without asking for anything in return. Then, just once, she goes to the ML for help, after they had a big fight; and he agrees to help her only under condition that she acts as if they never had a fight. AND THAT'S WHEN I UNDERSTOOD!!!

Basically P'writer is trying to let us know that in love, a little bit of selfishness is necessary if you want to be happy. Not too much selfishness like Khun NEE , or you'll lose everything, just so much as to get what you think you deserve, which is a happy relationship with the person you love.

I do NOT recommend this drama at all. It starts well enough but really was never gonna be extraordinary anyway. Then everything good goes to the trash and the drama becomes weird and sad and mysoginist. I wish I had never started it...

No Tawan was not raped by the ML. She was assaulted by the bad guy and people think he raped her too but he actually didn't.

I really liked this lakorn. The start is very controversial but then it deals very well with its premise. People who have done bad repent or else they are punished. As for all lakorns, there are unnecessary deaths, but I also feel like the "right people died", meaning characters who had run the course of their stories and weren't anymore useful to the show.
Mostly I liked:
-the chemisty and skinship. I wonder if there is something going on between these two because I've never seen so much skinship in thai lakorn. It was comparable to a taiwanese drama! The ML really sold how much in love he was with the FL.
-how the show dealt with sexuality. The gay relationship was never mocked or trivialized, even by the characters. The women were not supposed to be pure, there was no judgement towards sexual activity and no talk of "sullying the family's name".
-the women are given A LOT of power in this show. I could talk more about it but I don't want to spoil.
-the show doesn't take rape lightly and you can see the ML reckon with the notion of what he has done, come to terms with it and find redemption.
It's not the perfect show but it's such a big step ahead of the classsic lakorn with similar themes. Also, never a boring episode. Why such a low rating?

I didn't like the hairstyle either but I think it's meant to represent how controlled and tight wound she's become. Because in the beginning (before the rape) her hair looks great, and the same for the end of the show, when she has moved forward.

I agree about the over worn labels. I just finished the show and OMG, some of the items she would wear were so obnoxious! It was weird because it didn't really vibe with their personalities, especially the tomboy best friend. But I liked the show overall

I hope that Vincenzo is a good anti-hero and doesn't end up being more bark than bite. I like myself a bad guy (with bondaries) from time to time .

It's fine and good usually, where I cringe is when the character is supposedly born and raised in the US/France and then they speak with the most awful pronunciation. It's funny and cringy at the same time haha. I mean, it's better than my korean haha but still...

LOL thanks for the head's up. I'll get mentally prepared.

I really want to watch this. Who else is worried of the Italian we might get to hear in the first episode though? Please someone tell the PD that we really don't need to hear Vincenzo speak italian, thank you very much. LOL

I bet it's because he's dark skinned. I feel like the main requirement to lead a lakorn nowadays is to be light skinned, or better yet, mixed with chinese or european.

Yep! I want to say you're wrong but you're actually pretty on point about it. Women can and do move on after rape, some get married and have families, but there's still the stigma. Whereas most rapists are never even reported, or even if they are, some people are always gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, if he only says that she wanted it. And shows like this one makes it seem that it's fine.

Exactly!! I didn't even think of Ai Banleng before you said it. So true! When things get hard, all women become trash but men get redemption, basically. I think maybe they changed the writer? Because it feels like watching a very different show all of a sudden. Even Yadfah seems like another person. She was not a good girl, but she seemed pretty smart to me, she just let her boyfriend get away with stuff, but she was also funny. Now she just became stupid. That's it, I'm dropping this drama LOL

I feel you, I've never commented so much in another drama. I think that's why they still write trashy dramas like that, people talk about it and hate watch it, but it's still views, so they don't care. Welcome to the community!

Tawan is a maid for Yadfah's family, also her mom is sick and she really needs money to cure her. Yadfah is engaged with Tohmon, but they have never met and she thinks he must be too rustic so she doesn't want to marry him. Her family cuts a deal with Tawan to assume Yadfah's identity and then marry Tohmon. It was pretty good until a crooked former worker at Tohmon's farm decide to kidnap Tawan, but Tawan was already pregnant, so he makes a video to make it seem that he raped her and then everybody will think that the baby is the kidnapper's baby and not Tohmon's. So now from episode 8 we've gone from a really good and funny lakorn, to a stupid slap/kiss where women are blamed for being raped. Oh and the second female lead was raped and she has lost her mind. I guess women's brain is located in the vagina or something...

Yep. I guess people do like violence on women

I don't know any others sorry. I'm actually pretty new to thai lakorns. But if I find anything good, I'll let you know.
