Episode 12 done, major spoilers.
At this point, I'm willing to believe that the whole show is a parody, a spoof of slap/kiss. It makes absoluutely NO SENSE anymore. I just wish they had gone all out and given Sophit an evil twin, because that would explain how a funny, self deprecating, strong, sexually and financially independant, smart woman, became an evil murderer who will give another woman up to be raped. I understand that being raped herself, she must be pretty traumatized, but I never heard that murdering (of innocent people) was a side effect of rape. So far she has succesfully hurt at least two innocent women. I'm willing to bet next episode, we'll find out that she couldn't kill her actual agressor, because you know, he's a man, he can get hurt by a mere woman.

Also this imbecile Tohmon, has not believed the baby was his until the doc told him so. You know how you can only believe a woman after another man has confirmed her statements. Before the doc, he was willing to believe a drugdealer/rapist, over poor Tawan. I was the most happy when Tawan slapped him. I only wish she had done so since last episode.

So now she won't be going to jail BECAUSE she's actually pregnant with Tohmon. Guys, I'll bet you, next episode, they find out the baby is female, so they throw her in jail after all.

Actually, I changed my mind, this show is not a spoof, it's a SOS from the writers and producers who are trying to incense the population and burn the institution of Slap/kiss lakorns to the ground and be released at long last of their burden (by losing their jobs). I sure hope the Thai viewership can make them happy.

So, I was hoping that with the backlash, the producers would learn things and (1) try and rectify the trajectory of the drama, but most importantly (2) they would learn what people want and don't want to see anymore. I was naive, because they seem proud of their handywork and taunt us. Apparently the views are doing great.

Ok, thank you, I won't waste my time LOL

Please let us know what you think about it (once you watched it) cause I'm still on the fence.

Thai scriptwriters have a knack for taking really good ideas, interesting and highly spirited characters, funny villains, then dragging it through the mud. I don't understand why they need to rape, kill, their characters for no real reason. If I wanted to see a woman treated like a property (Tawan is hurt because the villain actually wanna hurt Tohmon), I have plenty of older dramas to go to. A funny, smart and independant FL is so rare in thai drama. I felt like we were gonna have some sort of sismance between the FL and Fah and So who are all three pretty great characters (at least at the start). I really thought they would subverse the usual trope of the evil second female lead... I had so much hope. Unfortunately, it seems that the writers did not yet make the leap into the 21st century. They had to drag all the women through the mud for no reason. This only goes to show, representation does matter. We need more female producers, writers and directors.

I agree about everything you said except the ML's sister. She said it herself to Khun SO: If it was you would you like everybody to know.
I understand it as respecting Tawan's privacy. I don't understand why Tohmon decided to tell everybody and even show the clips (!!) to everyone. This is so bad. It's Tawan's story to tell or not tell.

Thank you for bringing subbers to my attention. I did't know about all of these.

Thank you! :)

Oh right. Thx

Ouch... Okay, I think I'll stay human after all. Plus I'm not even too bad, I speak french AND I forget everything after a year hehehe.
Hope you only make good memories from now on, so that you have peasible dreams about them.

I also don't understand why Toom had to die. She had so much potential (as a character) and I was always waiting for her to turn full blown evil, or to actually bring Joe down. Alas the writer went another, boring way.
Also, I don't buy that Joe ever loved Dee. It seemed to me he was just a narcisstic person who couldn't accept that a woman would forget about him so easily.

This drama could've been called: Pride and Prejudice, Wickham's story. Joe is evidently Wickham, Gift is Lydia and Toom is Georgianna, of course. They even went as far as to make Joe's dad a General, that's how "smooth" those writers are!
It was an okay watch, but at around episode 8, I was like "Is anything gonna happen in this drama?". I thought this has the most likeable, most boring set of leads I've come to see in all of my drama watching years. They are positively perfect, and bland.
The second male lead (I guess that's what he is) is actually the driving force of the story, since everything happens because of him. At first I thought he was well casted, because I find the actor very attractive in an unctuous way; he looks like a total con man. Unfortunately, his acting wasn't very good, because when he was supposed to look detached and callous, he came off as psychopath serial killer, with his enormous eyes hahaha. I actually could see him in thriller, he definitely could pull of the suspicious, potentially murderous vibe to a T.
I do see value in this drama, IF skinship and sweet scenes are not necessary to you, and IF you concentrate more on the secondary characters than the main couple. This drama biggest quality is actually making me appreciate the traditional Slap/Kiss, makjang type lakorn.

hello. what is M's list?

LOL are you guys super heroes by birth or did you fall in a vat of Gamma rays? If the latter then please, please someone push me into it too! I even struggle with english! Haha

Oh my, so many cabins in the forest in thai lakorn land!... I guess before you go against someone, you should check whether one of their younger relatives have a cabin in the woods. If they do, stay clear!!

LOL I gues beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I've seen him in Mia Archeep, he was rather clean cut in there, yet I didn't find him attractive. I wonder if he is mixed race or full european though..

I hope it happens

Shes's pretty and talented. Why always supporting? She deseves main.

thank you

It seems to me that the writer/director has a strange love-hate relationship towards both transgender and fat people, especially the latter. It was good to see bigger people on screen, but it's just strange that they would always be bullied by the good guys. For example I almost jumped off my seat anytime Bong, that absolute sweety would fat shame that cute little kid. I didn't mind when Plaifon did it, but for Bong to do it didn't make much sense. Also the transgenders are described as ridiculous gropers, at best...
