Korean entertainment industry should Leave the man's private life alone. He didn't do anything illegal. The abortion wasn't even illegal. The woman also agreed to do it. She must not be very smart if she's blaming only him. She's only smart enough to publicly blame him at the peak of his career. Some men are toxic (he ain't no angel, clearly) but some women are too. Men need to be smarter about choosing women. Not only this man, but most men. Sad for him.
I couldn't get into the storyline, despite liking the ML actor a lot. I tried it just for him, but i just couldn't keep wasting my time. It was too boring fir me and I also found the creep mentioned above as too unnecessary.
Episode 3 makes it seem like people don't respect other's marriages in Japan. Thats not this case. The show is dramatizing. And... I really dislike the other guy.
It doesn't seem that extreme to me. I had to look up their real ages. The both look younger than they are IMO.He…
@soultoseoul I'm of a western background and have been living In Asia for some time. I completely get what you are saying. It's the exact truth that companies in Asia ask women questions in interviews like "do you have a boyfriend?" "Are you married?" "do you have children or are planning to have children?" "do you plan to take maternity leave when you have children." "When will you get married?" Etc. These kinds of questions won't fly in the west and companies could get into trouble asking it, so I see why @jonjees doesn't really believe you, or can't understand what perspective you're coming from. In some companies, some even sign contracts that they cannot get married or have a baby within a certain number of years (usually 2). If you want to keep your job, you have to renew that contract. If you want a family, you have to leave that job and then start over if you want a new job. It sounds crazy to a westerner, but it's reality in Asia. This is why women in Asia usually have part time jobs, or are teachers of some kind. If they want to have more like the woman in this series, they run into the problems she is running into.
It's not even a "to each his own" kind of thing either. It's simply different cultural dilemmas facing women in the workplace and in their families.
In Asia, women when they get married are expected to leave the job to raise the baby. The company hiring you don't want to waste time or money training you of you will up and leave. This is also heavily endorsed by boards and governments. An example is the medical school scandal in Japan in 2018-2019. When women wrote the medical exams to enter the school to become doctors, they were scored more strictly than their male counterparts so that they would largely fail, therefore not become doctors. The reason for this is because the medical board of that particular national institution thought it was a waste of time and money for women to become doctors since they will just get married and end up as housewives anyway. No one bothered to ask these women if they would really leave their jobs when they get married or pregnant. It's just assumed that women consistently do that because that is what a large part of the Asian women population has done in the past so now it's just expected.
This drama is to expose a small part of that, and to suggest a change more in line with what the modern woman wants, and how the family should adapt. Yes it's a drama, but remember, especially in Asia, art imitates life and life imitates art. Just look at all the Japanese manga, for example. It may seem like it's just fiction, but if you live in Japan, you'd soon realise that the life, scenery, behaviours, and culture is exactly the same. Just, of course, less axaggerated.
So the site is closed? I was looking for this series yesterday and couldn't find it's what happened?
No thanks. It doesn't work in my country. A lot of Thai drama sites don't work in my country. Anyway, I lost interest in this show lol. I just like Mik.
i just watched the drama and finished it...the ML already made it clear that he loves FL by ep 39 and even took…
How did you finish it so fast lol. Yes I knew he made it clear, but he took his sweet time getting there, and even after that, the 2nd FL was too prominent. I loved how Yang Zi's character went about her life regardless of what was happening in her love life.

I'm sorry... what? In no way did I reference Nights, and I knew they were a different group. Also, in no way was I insensitive. Maybe you are too sensitive, calling me a hater for no particular reason. Are you sure you're replying to the correct person?
What I like most about this show so far (on ep 3) is the relationship between the characters that you don't normally see in Thai dramas. The most heartwarming is Chaba's father's two wives. The wives are good to each other and very supportive and love each other's children as their own. The children consider themselves to have two mothers whom they treat the same. I love the relationship between the children too. They don't discriminate between who is from the first wife or the 2nd. All love each other equally. If it wasn't for 1 line in the first episode, you'd never be able to tell who's the child of which mother. Its so cute that the family has such a lovely dynamic.
Even with Chaba and Thong Ek. Sure, they started on the wring foot, but they're friends who also look for each other. It's not all antagonistic like you see in the majority of Thai dramas. They know how to work together.
Short answer... yes, he dropped his wife like a hot potato and became a couple with 2nd FL. For the most part, right down to the last 2 episodes, he was undecided in which woman to choose, but remained very close with the 2nd FL while Yang Zips character went about fulfilling her life. I liked that her life and happiness didn't stop for any man.
This was by turns, comedy, action, melodrama, slap&kiss! No blending of any genres. The first 3 episodes were funny and interesting. Even the slap & kiss I could take, but when he defeated her for no reason (he was already working with her family) and told her she'd be one of many, and also abandoned her, I was done. After that, she gave in too quickly to him and I'm still waiting fir an apology from him. She's spineless during the whole thing, sitting waiting for a guy who you're pretty sure hates you. 3.5 for me but the chemistry was good.
If you ship her with Reung, I suggest you watch the series right till the end. :D
I finished the drama but I think Reung from the past and Reungrit from the future have the same personality. Date from the future and the one in the past are nothing alike. I like the allegory though, that Date's and Reung's descendants got married somewhere along the line and that's why his face is housing his friend's spirit. it's kinda cool.

Ok, that was a very... angry post on their website. They seem to be blaming everyone for saying bad things about them? Who would do that though? I'm sure those black hearted people are in the minority and not the majority of us who appreciate it . I don't think we all mind ads either, it gains the subbers some income (hopefully) for their hard work.
I guess I just don't understand because they clearly love what they do, we love what they do, and some people are jealous of what they do. When you are a big success in anything, you inevitably get jealous haters. I understand they are angry that people are slandering them though, but now they just played into the hater's hands. It's like the hater won. That's so sad.
