A captivating and worthy story to watch!!!

I was waiting for this drama to be aired from the time it was announced about it at the beginning of this year!! just seeing the cast of actors they sounded so promising and knew it won't be disappointing!! to end up binge watching it and still wanting more of leads!!!

Having Lee Chae Min the first male lead made me wondering how he would be performing here after his previous dramas which were average and less but wanted to give it a try as I had the intuition this will be something different and brilliant compared to all the dramas he was casted before!! and seeing Yoona that I watched her only in the drama the k2, she was good there and was curious to know how she will be acting here so felt that this combination of first leads together would be interesting to watch and there is a potential of great chemistry on the way...

I was amazed with the beginning of this drama that started so good and in a hilarious way with their encounter, I liked the personality of Yeon Ji Young who is strong and ideal female lead!!! not believing he is the king and talking with him casually, dragging him all the way like she wants while unaware what is waiting her after she is still not believing that he is the king and she is sent in joseon era!!

□Cooking scenes and food part:
》Though it was the main plot of this drama more than being romantic, I enjoyed every scene of Yeon Ji Young cooking and showing her true talents and wide knowledge in culinary arts that made the king falling for her gradually starting from the unprecedented and new flavors that he didn't taste before when she was preparing dishes from the modern and actual era!!! I like how they portrayed the king enjoying every bites of Ji Young's plates that was itself a worthy show to watch and how they mixed to add a funny side at everytime he is tasting her mind blowing plates!!!
》I like how she made him remembering his late mother through her plates that was carrying a touch of his memories with his mother feeding him so he grew fond of this to be a gourmet king affected with these precious memories that the sudden arriving of ji young's scrumptious plates in his life made him rekindling the moments he spent eating with his mother...
》It was so quirky and funny in fact for the king to use Ji Young for feeding him like to repeat the same past through her but I was pleased that through her plates and such interactions he realised with time and her daily cooking for him that Ji Young is more than his royal cook!!!

□ Political part:
》Really didn't expect that the story would be having such interesting facts about how the king was raised to the throne!!! though it is having a sad and tragedic background of the king's past for losing his mother in such cruel way to have a hidden story behind it where the treacherous and betraying ones were the most close to him lurking around him... but ji young played an important role to make him a wise king not being pushed with his tyrannical nature to push him doing fair judgment and rules for his surrounding when at everytime she was a crucial part to not make him doing mistakes as she is coming from the future and didn't wanted him to end up miserably like the history happened before!!!

》Second leads conspiracy against the king was so saddening to see it but when it is about a historical story there would be always the villains who are having greediness and ambition to always taking over what is not meant for them regrading the throne...

☆ It was interesting to see how prince of Jesan who is hiding behind this broad smile a deceiving intentions to make the king falling in his traps to dethrone him and making the kind going mad just waiting him to do a reckless choice for overthrowing the king while pretending to be obedient for him!!!
Choi Gwi Hwa is a another talent that I felt so convinced seeing how he played his role so magnificently, he was so successfully chosen for this role!!!

☆ The consort Kang Mok Ju who was another close one for the king deceiving him while wanting to get rid of him and behaving to be all the way jealous when seeing Yeon Ji Young around the king in his chamber so her existence was threatening Kang Mok Ju and when noticing how the king is looking at his royal cook in a skeptical way showing how he is falling for her gradually without realizing that in himself...
Kang Han Na was so great and talented in portraying kang mok ju!!! I really became interested to watch more for this actress that amazed me with her performance in playing the villain consort!!!

□Romantic part:
》I was interested to watch this drama the most for this part especially and was excited to see the wonderful chemistry of leads and how their love story will be progressing!!!
》the most scene when the romantic part played important role that impressed me was when Yoona pushed the king to be wise and not killing those who murdered his mother as she didn't want him to do it for her true feelings for him saying she loves him at that decisive moment to prevent him from doing anything wrong so she was affecting his mind to not fall in the trap of his enemies who waited him to commit such grave fault!!!
》I like too the scene when the king dragged Ji Young and hugged her even if not privately after he didn't care what his surrounding would criticize such unacceptable thing regarding to their different social classes!!!

□ The wonderful performance of Lee Chae Min:
》I think this is my favorite part I want to talk about it, the actor is the shining star of this drama that I was dazzled with every tear he was shedding and every true love feelings he was showing for Ji Young!!! I think he is the one more suitable for the role of the king that no other actor would play so wonderfully like that!!! it is obvious how Lee Chae Min worked so hard after being the substitute male lead just in one month of preparation, he excelled in swords fighting and horse riding scenes, in addition to the realistic scary tone of voice a king is having!!! just seeing him wielding swords with such perfection was breathtaking and flabbergasting!!!
》He is a complete package actor in this drama that he is the main reason for being a top notch show alongside with Yoona and all the other characters who played too so good!!!

□The amazing acting of Yoona:
》I am really admiring how she worked so hard to nail the role of a top notch chef!!! I couldn't just to believe that Yoona was made to be a chef in real life!!! she was so good and shining when portraying the wise and strong Yeon Ji Young who was sent to travel back for changing the story of joseon's king and unaware that she will be going the joseon era for finding her true love who will be the king who fell for her plates from the first dish she cooked for him!!!
》I liked how she planned all the plates she wanted to cook with the team of cooking in palace!!!

□Cooking competition: I am not going to lie but the cooking competition was long and taking part of the total number of episodes but it wasn't bad to add for the plot cause it was so enjoyable to see how two teams from different cultures are competing against each other showing high talents of what real and wonderful passion for cooking could be ever seen!!!

□The food scenes:
》I think this drama will be the most one outstanding about food plot that will make watchers hungry wanting to taste them so badly with such artistic way in presenting the mouthwatering plates!!!
》The king himself is another show at every scene of tasting Ji Young's food, portraying the magical world of every bite that is taking him to enjoy every moment of it!!! so I was amazed with that part too that was essential to make the major food plot done in excellent way!!!
》The most plate that I would remember is the pasta dish and macaroons sweet that I wished the most to taste them!!!
》What is more hilarious how the king who is from another era of female is finding it hard to pronounce the name of plates the female is doing while she is showing a lot of patience and love for her cooking career and especially she is the ideal when serving her plates to the king though feeling afraid but I like how she stood strong and confident about her talent that saved her life from the picky king!!!

□Favorite parts of drama:
》The scene when the king found the hand bag of female and gave her, was the most unforgettable when unconsciously being thankful hugged him, that was took him aback to realise female is more than a merely royal vook for him!!!
》I think when the story started to sound more serious after the cooking competition at the three last episodes, revealing more details about the death of king's mother, it was so impressive and dazzling to watch especially male lead really played in that part so fantastically that he should be rewarded!!! I like too how female lead interfered at the most crucial time to support him and lead him to not do anything wrong to not regret later!!!
》The last episode was just the most wowww especially that scene when she took the stab for protecting him and coming back to 2025 while the king was screaming wanting her to be with him!!!! though it was a prevailing bloody and swords fighting scenes but I was hooked all the time on screen for this exciting vibes the final carried!!!
》I watched it and wished to have more episodes that it will leave a deep emptiness after it wrapped up!!! I really wished to see a sequel after she turned back to 2025 and to see another romantic round for her new life with male!!!

□In the conclusion what I found after this wonderful journey of watching, was meeting my expectations and even turned out to be more amazing that I thought!!! I would prefer if the story was more about romance than food plot but in general though romance is a subplot here I was satisfied with the firing and captivating chemistry of leads!!! they will be the most ideal and greatly leads paired together of this year!!!

□The final scene of last episode was what is defining to believe that a top notch drama won't be disappointing when male lead managed to follow her after she came back to her real era!! though it sounds so fantasy the time traveling part but I think such story having a mixed of different plots food, fantasy, romance and politic made it a great combination to make such best drama of 2025!!!

The Early Fall

In my opinion this drama is so much ridiculously over-rated! 🤷‍♀️​

Warning: This ranting is bound to bring on plenty of disagreement and criticism! ⚠️

BUT....
Let's be Real: The romance is not ANYMORE romanticizing..
Maybe it is unpopular opinion, but I just ended up writing all these rantings about Mr. Luke "our ideal Male lead of this season"... 😅😭🤡😏

"The Early SPRING"❌️-------> "The Early FALL"✅️

Call it an early fall, because the temperature on this 'romance' plummeted to freezing conditions before the first petal even opened... 🧊🥀 Especially I’m practically shivering from the sheer attitude of his red flags... 📉 This couple would be the most frustrating for me in this year... 😶🤐

Officially dropped it, I am feeling like forcing myself to push with every episode after ep 13, while it already got draggy between 8 and 11 but still gave it a chance after that... but I think now it is time to give up totally on it for the unhealthy dynamic of leads, and for the story...

At the start, to be honest the drama was enjoyable and I was sharing their romantic vibes moments without complaints though felt the drama began on the wrong foot, when male was a premium "defective product" masquerading as a dream guy...🤡 So I admit that I was tricked when seeing so much tempting high ratings of this show... BUT it turned out to be delusional when diving in more episodes later and discovering the truth behind this facade of main character energy vibes of our legendary Male lead... 🤡🤦‍♀️


It started illogical that how he turned from that harsh, disparaging one to her one to that completely different person soft gentlman in a blink of eye... In my opinion, it was so ridiculous making the pace of romance igniting into rapidly a fiery chemistry just within 2 to 3 episodes... 🤔


At ep 13, Male is really so possessive and toxic, wanting to take advantage of her talents at work just for himself to be besides him, in his team, only for him.... 🤦‍♀️


Male is just a PRO in SEDUCING female for such unfruitful relationship, making her clumsily falling head over heels for him... He misled her and wanting to set the rules of love as he desires while she should have been more aware of such relationship that fastly developed in such passionate bond when she was nothing to him at start! 😏


He provoked me with this mindset to come back being so hateful with his sharp tongue not respecting her decisions looking for a better opportunity and him getting overly jealous over nothing when she is discussing business with her superior... but also getting jealous over a pet that he is calling "stupid" while not looking at himself, when all the flaws are tarnishing him from head to toes... 😏🤡


I am feeling repulsion for how a fickle person like him would change the overall connection with her in such chaotic relationship, this is not a romance concept but just him making from her a toy, to play in his own rules...



●WHAT WAS THE MOST WORTHY THROUGH ALL THE PART I WATCHED??

This drama was only worth watching for this cute fluffy ball—he was the TRUE STAR who stole the show! Honestly, nothing else compares to this adorable little cutie! 🤌✨️🔥

A 10/10 performance exclusively brought to you by this absolute icon! 👌💫❤️‍🔥 I was literally only interested in every scene he was in before almost dropping the show entirely! 😭🥲😅 I skipped straight past all the frustration just to hit pause on this fluffy superstar for an instant serotonin boost! 😭 More than every cast of humans, he was the real lead and character that carried the show on his precious little paws! 💖❤️‍🔥🔥🐾 🐶

Best Friends are "Better Together" for 9 years and more...

this lakorn is one of the few outstanding I watched from the time I started into asian drama world, though unusually a miniseries for a lenght of thailand drama but enjoyable all the way for every 9 hours of it...

I think as a plot for friends to lovers or the romantic type of dramas, this is the best a thailand drama can be portraying in this decent show comparing how thailands lakorns evolved from two decades ago till now... I can see that there is progression in the execution of lakorns when it comes to the interactions and chemistry of leads, the story, cinematography, acting... the cast was so good and well chosen though I didn't watched any other dramas for any of these actors of this drama but they did a great job in this lakorn...

the time skip in the script going through 9 years made the story a bit lacking in terms of making an overall coherent story causing some plot holes but it was obvious that they would follow this style for a miniseries though maybe it could have been better if making this drama a bit more longer for 3 to 4 episodes but wasn't boring or draggy...

the chemistry as leads turning from friends to lovers is so good and firing, I can see that they couldn't hiding their crush for each others through all these 9 years, even when they chose at the start to follow this concept of "friends shouldn't dating" to not make it complicated if they will break up when leads concluded that after seeing their best friends going through it...

when leads were in a relationship with another partners, it was like an exam in life to test how much they are able to be apart and avoiding each others and it was the hardest for them to accept it when they turned out to have them being separated not interfering in each other like before but the events of story were in their favor to make them reuniniting together unable to give up on their deep love and bond...

the setback of the story and hardships that leads faced and hindered them from being together or arguing to end up being apart were disappointing in some places but the satisfying ending made up for all of this...

as the first drama for the male lead Aim, it was a great start for him and I think he made a nice performance in this drama, playing amazingly how he wanted to protect and standing besides Dao in all her times and for the female lead Cherprang was too good in portraying Dao but I think she could have performed a bit better but all her scenes with Ran were so brilliant and wonderdully done... so the first leads were so nicely paired together

the support characters of both leads family were all so splendid in acting... I like the supportive sister Duan and grandma of female lead and I think the actress playing mother of male lead was so nice and lovely for both of main actors, one of the best mom characters...

in the end it is a drama easy to watch and considered acceptable that what I expected to see in such plots of friends to lovers I found it... it was executed in a wonderful way and would like to strongly recommend it as one of the thailand lakorn that are worthy to try it and above than average... not forgetting the wonderful OST that added a lot of value to the show...

the best hidden gem historical korean drama of 2024!!!! so much highly recommended!!!!

this story is so well executed with a realistic performed actors that they are acting their utmost best they could to add this unprecedented excitement that I felt ever when watching the historical genre!!! I binged watching for 2 days before the last release of the last 2 episodes!!!

if I am asked about what I like the most, I should say that everything was charming enough to captivate anyone in this outstanding historical era, the great outfit disguisement, the loyality and unlimited power of female lead in her skilled fighting scenes and the obvious firing eyes of male lead and facial expressions enough to tell being smitten with the female lead...

I watched this actually for being a noona romance with large age gap between leads though not the main plot as I am a huge fan of it!!!! but I should give it a higher rating if that was more focusing on romance with more screen time for leads being together but with this pleasant ending I should say it amends this shortage of needed missing romance!!!

however this is the most amazing historical korean drama that anyone could hope for!!!! the end was in the right place and SO SATISFYING for me that makes the show flawless and outstanding, love every details in this unprecedented series.

I like how the freedome of female lead after suffering from being jailed for her in laws with mourning for a fictional husband with a void marriage for 15 years going in vain as the funny fact was that the husband is unknown for being married to 2 wives and eloped far away making his parents thinking that he is already dead!!! she was finally being freed with the annihilation of this unrealistic marriage.

I like that fact too of the hidden identity of yeo hwa how she was rebellious and breaking the traditional rules of a mourning wife not allowed to get out of her home disguising in a masked man to fight astonishingly for giving justice for the wronged poor people and helping them amidist a corruptive nation and how she can handled to be at the same time a serious and funny actress.

the male lead su ho was too a great substantial element of this marvellous story beside the amazing performance of yeo hwa, his eyes tell a lot about how he is the most emotional toward the female lead and the most scene I was amazed with it when he prevented her by sword fighting to cut the head of her murderer father in law seok jo song and make the law dealing with him finally to be executed fairly and saying he could be able to kill jo song before her but he didn't want to be a criminal to avenge of jo song for su ho's killed family and the deceased brother of yeo hwa.

actually I didn't thought that the series will improve wonderfully in the last two episodes which gave the most worthiness of the drama is the episode 11 and 12 that I liked the most of overall the show!!! and I gave it a more high rating reaching the impressive penultimate and last part of it.

it was a really joy and happiness that I see like this exquisite final that if I could use all the terms and vocabs of being pleased by this show I will do!!! this is so highly recommended drama that I wish to be more valued than 8.5 in the future when it is more renowned and that I will add to my list of favorite korean dramas so easily though I dropped too much high rated dramas but this one is so special for all the fabulous content of it.

Being angry and don't falling in love do not solve the parental trauma...

It is a warm story in a humble house where the stern and mysterious girl hosted a new housemate who was abroad and landing newly in japan who were both unknowingly connected to the same story of family betrayal.

Naotatsu is a modest and kind boy who didn't know anything about this strange girl Chisa who doesn't seem likable, just cooking for him the painful plate upon his arrival which she had eaten the day her mother eloped with naotatsu's father...

Chisa had so many mixed feelings regarding her mother who hurted her in the past and accepting naotatsu who is related to her as being the son of her ex-mother lover but she considered him a little kind boy who didn't have any guilt to interfere him with her deeply painful problems.

Against what chisa thought, naotatsu was so loyal to chisa and sided with her at every time she was venting her anger when her mother was the topic of their talk.

Naotatsu was running from chisa when hearing the story from her talking with another one about her past but he found that there is no use from evading the truth so he decided to help her finding her mother by asking his dad so he didn't dare telling her that but when they reach her mother's house he wanted chisa to be strong and face her mother about her feelings and her unbearable pain especially when shocked as chisa's mother was building a new happy family with husband and step daughter and forgetting about her first child.

Naotatsu was a real great person understanding chisa and the scene he was crying she felt his innocent and genuine inner personality so she treasured all the moments with him as an amazing housemate.

Deciding not falling in love upon the betrayal of her mother, naotatsu was affected with what chisa was living after her mother left chisa and her dad, so not falling in love was naotatsu wanting to show his anger and pain to what the big fault his dad commited in the past but chisa doesn't want him to be like her.

Naotatsu though being a high school boy he was drawned to chisa who is oblivious to his feelings, she wanted him to find the right person having the same age as her.

The rain made them being together when he was running to catch her for not moving from the house so leaving his school just to decide confessing to her but she was smiling and at the same time didn't give a clear reply to him.

This is a healing story, learning to dig in food when you are terribly annoyed by the memories from the past (funnily speaking) like chisa did with naotatsu and they were not bad paired together just if he was a little older maybe it will fine but still he is a high school boy is considered so much younger as she is 8 years older than him in real life.

I enjoyed the movie in total and it is highly recommended for me and I wanted to write a review in the first as it was just one day ago uploaded subbed but in truth the end was great but wanted the female lead to be more responsive with him but not bad at all.

Nice and wonderful choice for a college drama

I picked this drama mainly cause I am always interested in a college drama with romantic story and sports theme so the plot had attracted me and turned out to be so good show, not draggy and funny to watch, deserving to be more recognized!! unfortunately it is underrated on mdl but just ignore that and give it a try cause it is worthy!!! I binge watched in 3 days!!!

I am usually not watching frequently chinese dramas but this show is giving positive and great vibes that made me staying hooked with the story all the way!! the story became more intersting and better towards the end with no unnecessary long misunderstadings...

The charcater Jian Dan is so brilliant and cheerful, I liked the acting of Ireine Song so much as I feel she is usually like that in her roles, she is not complicated and easygoing girl, always hardworking and not giving up easily!! she is the best example of an assiduous female lead student that performed her role with perfection!! the progression of story with Han Yan Sheng is so greatly written from enemies to friends to lovers that was meeting with my preferences of dramas!!!

For the role of Han Yan Sheng, I feel Guo Zi Fan could be played better this character but not bad acting, he is the one only interested in mathematics until Jian Dan made it different for him when sharing the same passion for maths through Hypatia book when their romance started to bloom gradually!!!

I like in the story when a male lead went through a traumatic stage in his life and female lead is entering to be a healing part of his life and working together to make him getting over this so the drama tackled such topic and really enjoyed the plot regarding that how they became more closer to each other when they are fated to always meet in many situations...

There is always the evil figure of second female lead, Gu En Tong (is not a second female lead in cast here but she is like this one for me) who is hovering around male, wearing the mask of an innocent and supportive person to her friends while she is making traps for female to break her up with male... En Tong is the worst character ever seen here!!!

I just wished male would be more aware and vigilant from the inner true character of En Tong especially she is part of his traumatic past but he was overly trusting her until he came back to his sense after female was working in a smart way to reveal the deceiving plannings of En Tong... I liked the strong bond of leads which wasn't shaken though all the failing traps En Tong set for leads!!!

The supportive friends characters of leads are so likeable and cute!!! I like the friendship part of the story which add more happy vibes to the story!!! the splendid and captivating landscape scenes where the locations of filming the drama was so greatly choosen and one of the favorite part of the drama for me!!!

OST is so outstanding and enjoyable to listen that is coming to mind all the time!! it is a reason to raise my rating to 9 in addition to the amazing and satisfying ending also the relaxing and attractive places like shores and nature to watch where the drama is executed!!!

One of the most unkown and lowly rated taiwanese dramas, should be given a try

First once I had read the synopsis, this is an old classical and typical romantic series that I was looking to something similar.
The story is not available on asian subbed dramas sites and I was wondering why this ignorance of this drama? Though nothing is special but I wanted to make this drama to reach more people in my review.

But WHY THIS LOWLY RATED DRAMA though the male lead is so famous that he had greatly performed with showing this sincere affection like he was in meteor garden and maybe all his other drama works.
The female lead was a bit dull and miss to have more great performance of acting her role but not so bad.

About the type of story being miniseries, it could be expended to few more episodes because the actions are so fast that you can finish it in half day.
The beginning of the drama was so hasty that I felt it should be started by other way little more detailed but based on miniseries it was like that.
To dive more in the details of story...

The male lead is a character of 18 years old, abandoned by his parents and treated so brazenly by his mother who obliged the female lead to break up with him and the surprise how the mother snatch the FL from her son under the pretext of not studying well.

The female lead knowing she had feelings for him and the parents don't mind to make her a couple with the brother of ML and the FL is naturally accepting this abominal fact and the love triangle begins here...

The brother of male lead was so indifferent and missing to act more fierecly when knowing about the past of leads.

What I like THE MOST about the story is the great acting of male lead suppressing his feelings to act normally and wishing a great life for his brother and wife, here pushing me to increase the rating of this miniseries.

My personal opinion this series is wronged to have this bad rating, it is neither excellent neither unacceptable just a plain story should be a little more valued so I write my review as no one at all wrote about it.

The comedy side is the only thing what I loved the most but still highly recommended...

When watching this drama from the start, I was so pleased by how funny it was, I didn't laugh over any korean drama from a long time so far that I thought it will be a mix of comedy and mystery with crime that should be supposed and I couldn't wait to watch one episode after the other in order to complete it thinking it will be promising but it wasn't for a long time unfortunately...

The main characters performed their role comedically so great and the duo of ye bun and jang yeol to resolve the complications of mysterious crimes in mujin town was so successful and I really enjoyed these two actors together and how he exploited ye bun to return as a cop in seol after being demoted by snatching her from sun woo and at every situation she slacked from him for his and observing her as being his neighbor to guarantee she will help him always when he gave her homeworks (especially when she tried to learn arabic language was one of the funniest moments) and used her as an important tool for him that she tagged along with him when always wanting to catch the culprit, that was totally funny and worthy moments to watch, that I highly recommended for this reason only.

Ye bun and jung yeol are suitable to be in romantic relationship, hoped to make jang yeol more emotionally for ye bun but she was like a robot for him turning her head to follow him, sadly I was disappointed in that side and the story could be twisted so easily to make it as a slow burn romance but though this tag is mentioned I couldn't feel it this way in the middle of the chaos of serial crimes.

The support characters was so dull and unimportant against what most of people think but ok hui the intimate friend of ye bun was a great add of cast and the most side character I loved, her look and her act was ideal for the comedic cast.

When the story progressed and the funny side of story is turning off and fading gradually I felt it is becoming boring and didn't being excited to know who is the real culprit after episode 10, though at the beginning I appraise the script written for the serial murders and how jang yeol analyse the consequences of crimes and how he being helped by ye bun to push her funnily touching the butt of suspects by sticking the gums that I couldn't forget all the enjoyable comedic parts of the drama and especially the series of panties disappearance was impeccably amazingly hilarious!!!!!

I dropped cause I didn't felt any interest to continue it after loosing funny moments of the drama but though major of watchers enjoy it but for me it was boring after the second half of drama that I think like watching another drama with no any suspense anymore just my personal opinion but I recommend only for the first half just for me and nobody maybe will agree with me.

Overall it is not a failure but a great choice of drama highly recommended for everybody, I am not against this drama but totally to support it and raise the rating of drama just for the hilarious moments I enjoyed having a confused contrasted feelings.

I like the hairstyle of female lead with her garments looking like a little cute girl being portrayed as a funny character, I am in love with these pets ye bun was examining them it was a reason too to watch it as I like these cute little animals filmed along that I am deeply fond of all pets and as a veterinarian she was supposed to be given more scenes as most of ye bun role was for the sake to help jang yeol, to note I was sursprised that ye bun is in real life is older than jang yeol but her successful look hides her true age that I appraise how they work to make her being younger.

The love of a confused couple is pure white... (OST)

This story is one of my favourite genre as I like the topic of betrayal in married life but mainly the husband was the one who start it in most dramas but when the wife it is not so common...

This is underrated drama and not well known, though it is been 19 years but the social realism of age gap as older woman/younger man is not something new in asian drama.

When a housewife is not satisfied with her boring married life and think she loves her husband and is happy with him but deeply deny the fact that they are just like housemates no more than that... this is what the case is here about the relationship of kozue and hideo.

It was sudden like a storm (english title) because the unexpected encounter of kozue with someone teenager who makes her yearn for her youth days that she lived complaining being the tallest with no so much intimate friends around her and nothing in common between her mates in junior high till the lonely and abscent minded brown hair school boy with bangs striking her attention at the middle of the road of a rainy day... (Takuma the storm who changed her life)

Kozue is the one confused and not honest with her self didn't mind the accompany of takuma the dancer teacher and mysterious one, at the beginning he pushed her to practice dance when persuading her that dance will change her view of herself and as she thought she is not the one who may know how to do it, taking steps by steps to join him after the fate of them meeting so many times...

Something inside her made a storm in her feelings toward him, is it a "disease of luxury" as she said to pamper herself by dancing to awake after the slump in her boring life or is it the feelings for the person who made her more confident about herself and to take care of her beauty that she missed while she is with hideo her husband?!

Takuma did not wanted to reveal his mystery to kozue as sick person suffering from emphysema, at each time she decided to end her relationship with him, something happening to him about his disease stopped her from being decisive and empathy with him, couldn't help leaving him alone when her husband was in need for her...

It was not a scandalous affair to say but a betrayal of kozue for hideo who is oblivious and didn't want to doubt the loyality of kozue for him cause at everytime takuma taking a step ahead towards her, she would avoid him for no more feeling guilty about her husband...

Kozue's mother caught her when takuma confessed to her and warned her that "married woman shouldn't falling in love"...

Yoriko was the one receiving the messages of what kozue did in detail with takuma and yoriko wanted kozue to be with takuma as she knew his medical issue and she is the cause for confessing to hideo what kozue was doing behind his back but yoriko did all of this because she had a crush on hideo...

The confess of takuma to kozue that he loved her after he didn't know what this kind of feeling of him for her, was shaking her more and she strayed his seriousness with another talk but couldn't do anything just to love him back but didn't have the courage to tell him that as the society will judge her badly and everyone around kozue and takuma will be in pain and despise them regarding their 16 years age gap...

Divorce will happen after hideo saw the real scene of kozue hugging takuma who has been attacked by emphysema and crying loudly, couldn't dance anymore according to his health condition was more worthy for kozue than to justify to hideo what is her relationship with takuma was what about...

I didn't like the end at all as I wished kozue and takuma ended up together but kozue choosed to be independent and as takuma is special for her she wanted to free him from her for not facing more criticism from the society but takuma wanted for sure to be a great man and finding a job for kozue to accept him and he didn't care for the great age gap 18 vs 34 as he wanted her so badly but if it was the opposit I would give it 10 as overall rating for sure...

Female rivalry should be healed by true love...

This story is as like any classic thailand drama about revenge and jealousy but what the most attracted me though I had watched 2 episodes then drop it being long but giving a try and rewatch it after one month is that the curiosity to know which level the grudge between Yod and Cherd will reach.

This drama differs from others that when watching two main females plotting against each others with unstoppable retaliaton everyone will think because of to their evil inner personality here was different they are in fact vulnerable and longing for a true love to make them stopping this unlimited rancor though the casualties around them didn't made them refrain this adversity war.

The battle of Yod and Cherd's revenge was unworthy for someone like Lanna the scoundrel and nasty one who was swinging from one to other just when finding his interest is keeping him safe as a low ranked politician always greedy to be the highest one in social class and was the most one exposing to beating and humiliation always being the shameless one.

What I liked between characters are Chan (Cherd' brother) and Buret who were the healing elements of the story and cooperated to make Yod and Cherd apart and giving them the meaning of true love after many tries maybe make them to forgive each others.

The most abominable characters are Reungboon (Yod's cousin) who was the ex-husband of Cherd and Yod's father who always being obstacles between the happiness of Yod and Chan and sometimes Buret's parents who treated Cherd as worthless woman for all the clip of scandal she made with Lanna leaked by Reungboon to social media.

In fact Cherd was the reason for the beggining of this war with Yod, who had the right to retrieve her vicious husband and used her power and tricks to make her fall in her traps but Cherd too wasn't that innocent and overly attacking her by snatching Yod's father and the war started from the clip of Cherd and Lanna, everyone thought Yod who had leaked it but she wasn't the culprit which made Cherd's mother dying from heart attack and Yod lost her baby after Cherd pushing her at the funeral of Cherd's mother when Yod wanted to do the duty of condolence.

Chan's will to regain Yod after her father shot him, I liked it the most and Buret who faced his parents to prove his love for Cherd and keeping her besides him...

I didn't like the end that much if not I wanted to make a higher rating but I was satisfied as the couples I wanted to ended with each others was happened.

I binge watched within 2 days but it can be shorter though it was an acceptable drama as the characters was happy in the end.

A great story to know during a drama slump

This show is nothing special but deserve to be continued to the end after a great moment of last drama watched.
If you like the genre drama of pursuing dreams, coach/trainee relationship and nice leads supporting each others then it is the one.
I think the story carry some of social issues about how one living in poverty, overcoming all the difficulties to reach his goal is the best I have seen embodied in this show.
Being bullied is such a terrible feeling in one wanting to prove his skills to be a great runner with the help of the one who is supporting from her deep heart but carrying a deep secret about her illness.
The male lead is so impressed by the achievements of female lead and want to continue running with no boundaries to the end.
Reaching the goal as a great runner in marathon what I the most like about it but THE END was a bit disappointing for me, rather I would like to give it a more valuable rating.
Though the end can be in another way written, overall is not bad and greatly filmed and acted.
Note: The difference in the length of leads is not that defective but make it interesting in opposition of what other dramas used to have.

I ONLY NEED YOU to protect me from my unlimited evil deeds...

This title is given especially for the second female lead Ramnnam who stole all the attention in my opinion with great acting and fitting the role of the most greedy and possessive for the first male lead Lue her guardian who is the husband of first female lead Nampink.

Ramnam is the craziest and most evil actress ever seen in a thailand lakorn with a killing jealousy in her eyes blaming her mother to be "the daughter of housemaid" and wanting to burry alive all the females who are in contact with her guardian and UNCLE Lue as she is always calling him.

She is the money and richness whorshipper and after all her fight to earn the first male lead she ended receiving the most painful punishment for all her misdeeds and repenting to be so evil.
Second male lead Umpon with a broad mysterious smile giving you to guess whether he is happy or angry by provoking his vicious and disgraceful father who is the other who is attracted to Ramnam knowing her weak point.

Nampink is the kind and weak female lead who wanted to take revenge from Ramnam but failed in all the ways had a second chance with Umpon who lived a painful past because of his father hurting his deceased mother and being beated to death by his father who is the rude and selfish minister.

Umpon is the caring and healing character making Nampink believing in second chance love in life and hiding his love by disguising himself as her YOUNGER BROTHER and not attended her wedding just to realise the fact lately, Nampink running away from him but ended to accept him after several tries when she were being divorced with Lue the liar and cheater husband character.

What I like the most about this drama the karma received by Ramnam who ended to be paralyzed but regretting all what she did to Nampink and her poor mother who was unable to make her daughter satisfied with her life.

Though she was the worst and shameful by her deeds, not deserving the love from anyone, Ramnam got a second chance by making all the main leads to be to her side and forgiving her especially Nampink and Lue take responsability and propose to Ramnam as it was her dream, the same for the other two leads who ended to be togther.

The lesson that Ramnam taught from all the events, addressed by Ratee, the sister of Umpon to her after being paralyzed that wether you are poor or rich, nobody is satisfied with his life:
Ramnam the poor character who are craving for money and being one of nobles and higher society class but ignoring the efforts her mother doing to make her have a great life.
Umpon/Ratee the rich charaters who despite having the luxury life, they missed the love of parents by having the tough and dishonorable father.
Nampink the rich character who despite having all the necessities of life being betrayed by Lue, the other one who lost his property as punishment for his cheating on Nampink and being ignored by Ramnam in the midist of events.

Lesson in life in this series maybe based on true story or not, that the KARMA should absolutely returning to everbody whatever they were doing good or bad.
