A review - "rape is not romance."Rape by a significant other is just as criminal as a stranger, and in this case…
There's no use. Sadly many women, mostly young girls think rape is romantic/ entertaining. I feel lakorns satisfy such viewers and tell us to accept every abuse as it's another kind of love. That women have to be kind and forgiving.
Never seen this actress before so I don't know if she always makes these faces or they were the director's orders. In any case, it was quite distracting and not in a good way.
Lakorns - where rape is funny, romantic and pleasing to the woman. where a man can take revenge coz he has brains but the woman fails and the guy has to save her ass all the time. where he allows her to take revenge and yet she fails. 'love' the misogyny.
I will never rate a drama low just coz of bad special effects, not every one has a big budget. But what's in their hands is good acting and this has failed to impress me in the 15 minutes of the 1st episode itself. The FL is quite interesting as well. The ML is trying to woo her, she is still not sure of him and walks in where she sees another woman kissing him and he is allowing her to. But I assume since this is a Thai drama so it's acceptable?!
Not many dramas are able to put a constant smile on my face. This is one of them. What an amazing ride it was. The whole team should be proud of what they made. Thank you Korea for not going the chinese route and banning BLs. Keep bringing out gr8 stuff.
I finished it only coz of Zhao n Riley and would suggest others to watch this drama only if you are a big fan of any of the actors involved. Otherwise run away as fast as you can. Either the writer thought that the FL is a mind reader who'll see through all the lies and deception or was facing a writer's block. The ML kept lying and fooling her, the FL would once again trust him and once again he'd lie to her.
I don't give a damn if he was lying 'to save her'. It's a very old and stupid plot where a lead will lie to their partner and then half of the viewers will blame the victim for not understanding the love behind it. Grown up people talk, they communicate. You can expect someone to be deceived and suddenly trust you blindly without suspicion in their mind.
The last episode was even worse with hoards of women presenting themselves so that the ML can pick a couple of them as if they were some cattle for breeding, and the FL out of jealousy becomes one of the candidates. It would have been so much better if the leads would just sit and talk like adults.
A young woman's family is fooled and she ends up marrying and living with a guy whose mental age is 8. The old hags force the FL to even sleep with him while dreaming that she quickly gets pregnant. Oh the things that pass off as comedy and romance.
Thank you for writing this because I thought I was the only one not liking the FL AT ALL. In every scene, even…
Thanks for the reply :)
I had actually dropped it 2yrs back, then started again last week thinking that this time with a fresh mind I'll like it. But nope. Replacing sugar with salt, gud one 🤣
The subs are unintentionally funny, in one scene the king who is in the FL's body tells the queen why she isn't favored by him - "Your biggest weakness is that you can't eat." oh the double entendre 🤣
ML finds out FL was his bro's fake gf in return for money, which btw she refused to take. Later when he proposes and she rejects coz she has got a scholarship in london and isn't sure of their love, he offers to pay her to be his gf. But it's not a big deal, just follow her after a grown up man is taught by his parents, show her a ring and all's well. The actors were nice but the ML wasn't man enough to even ask for forgiveness for what he said. But then it's a lakorn so as long as there's no rape, it's good romance lol
I might try this one some other day. The synopsis was so long that I couldn't even finish reading it. There's a reason it's called synopsis, why write a essay? lol
Don't you just love lakorns. The writers know they have to show the ML sleep with another woman, so make him go under a spell so that the poor guy is forced. Once he comes back to his senses, the FL says even she knows that the other woman is quite hot. ML replies, I agree but I love you coz u can take care of our family, be a good wife and a mother. I just love his reason for 'loving' her *sarcasm*
Everyone else is so chill about this whole episode, wonder how they'd react if a woman would come back after such an ordeal. Same old shrieking, pulling hair, calling names or accepting it as just another normal day.
Can't there be one single thai drama without such nonsense?! I seriously wanted to watch a fantasy thai drama but seems like they can't think beyond sexually drive shouty women, and infidelity hidden under the guise of black magic.
She is an award winning actress and usually in movies eg The Handmaiden
Also depends if we've seen better acting or if we set the bar low. Nothing wrong with that. But I'd like to believe she improved. There r some actors who don't change coz they know fans will accept them as they are. Have u watched Handmaiden? I've heard good reviews but never watched it...
