Sweet & worth-rewatching romance! Also Mewadee is the prettiest.

This is unexpectedly good & enjoyable, especially the romance. After a very long time finally i found another fav couple!

I dont always enjoy ML being possessive, but i do enjoy this one that much. Also dont always enjoy FL being straightforward to the ML, but i'm ok with this one. I just love their chemistry, that much, to the point that i'm disappointed they aren't dating in rl (bcoz i thought they ARE, even before i watched this drama)
Love the interaction, love the bickering, the angst, almost everything about ML & FL is just satisfying.

I also enjoy the moments at her school, love the chemistry between FL and her bestie (Fahlan), enjoy the scenes of FL & SML.

Mewadee is the prettiest! I adore Oom since long ago, have watched several movies & dramas of her. I think Mewadee is the prettiest look of Oom. With light make up & casual outfit, her aura shines that bright.

I think this review isn't really helpful for others. No idea what to say. Just wanna express how i like this drama :)

When Other Couples' Stories are More Engaging than the Main Leads'

*beware of the spoilers, i just wanna review this drama in this way*

Just go the point of how i look at each couple's love story.
-main leads: unfortunately, their story isn't really interesting to me. Not the actors, but their love story. I mainly skipped their scenes after knowing the base of the love story. But the last 2 eps of them is engaging enough. When FL is that busy & ML tries to adapt. ML tries so hard, but not for FL, she feels guilty instead. These 2 different principles of love put them in difficult situation & hurt him THAT MUCH. I like how she finally tries to make up for him.

-ML's eldest sis & Jae-un: their story has good potential actually. Both keep being single for decades, then fate makes them meet each other. UNFORTUNATELY, for people who've been single for a very long time, their relationship is just too sudden, i don't feel the depth of their feelings towards each other.

-FL's ex Jae-shin: you know what? I prefer FL to be with Jae-shin instead. I know he's a jerk when he keeps 2 relationships in one time & when she's that angry, he still couldnt find the real reason behind her anger, lol. However, his life is THAT hard, she's the only good thing in his life, i can say. But in the end, it's good for her to break up bcoz their r'ship can't bring them anywhere good. Thanks they made them separate in good term. While Jae-shin & Hyo-joo, their dynamic is good. When Jae-shin finally let go of FL, i thought Hyo-joo will be more mature & be a good wife for him in the end. Instead, she keeps being childish & he cant stand it. Their separation is a good thing tho. Hyo-joo finally learns to live and love her life. She grows up. And Jae-shin, finally he can move on, start off his new life independently, & both have good term in the end :)

-last but not least, 2nd elder sis of ML Yun-seung & her husband: their story is the saddest, i cried a lot. I'm surprised knowing they started their r'ship from kinda blind date. And she "instantly" fell for him, simply bcoz of his gesture which always listens to her WHENEVER & WHATEVER she says, ON THEIR FIRST MEETING! I guess i'll fall for him also, lol. He's a good man. That's why, i do ship this couple. But when their real problem comes, it hurts me :( i cried when she cried a lot. I didnt think this thing will come & break them apart. Although they separate for good, i still wish they got back together :( He's indeed a good husband & she loves him that much :((

Yeah, at least i still wanted to finish it.

A bit below average drama to me. Why?
-the leads is good, i also need romance, but they dont fulfill it. Those sweet moments when Kin being Tonnam isnt enough to me to make them fall in love each other bcz after that Kin gets revenge at Pat. I needed moments of them taking care of each other after Kin get back his memory, but almost nothing makes their love believable, to me.
-the villagers can't make me respect them. They do everything (in this case, lie) to make a living. They lie & use Tonnam. I can understand that the writer wanna makes it a comedy. But... yeah, i just cant accept their behaviour, includes Pat's mom.
-that's why to me Kin isnt that cruel to Pat, considering what villagers & Pat have done to him. It's just a pity seeing Pat have to face that punishment alone.
-actually Sebra & Nicha's love story has potential in the beginning. But later becomes flat bcz Nicha keep forcing herself to pursue Kin. And the ending of them is flat. Yeah they're just 2nd couple after all.

I wanted to give it 6. But i give 6.5 for:
-Lookhin visit Kin to make everything clear & explained to Sa "i know p'Pat has crossed the line to love Kin. But i also know she doesn't love the wrong person." Wow, a thoughtful & wonderful mind of that village guy.
-They make the villain Kurabri be that clever, not kinda annoying yet idiot bad guy.

An Enjoyable Average Drama

If talk about romance, i enjoy 2nd & 3rd couple the most, & they're the reason i wanna start watching this. The main couple's issue is complicated, mostly i ff their scenes.

The most outstanding character & performance: Jean as Rita. At first i thought she's an annoying 3rd wheel. In fact, not at all. She's loud, talkative, cheerful, sometimes careless, FIERCE, STRAIGHTFORWARD, capable in fighting back the villains, meddles too much in other's matters. But she can also be sad (i even cried in some of her mellow scenes), complicated, & actually she can be reliable & helpful with her nosiness. Complete package!

Meimei as Paeng is also noticeable. She's grown up from a naive & careless girl to a tough, disciplined woman/mom. I just can feel her when she behaves towards people that once hurt her: skeptical, tired, bland, sick of their apologies & excuses. She's been through many bad things.

I also enjoy the story of Pak & her dad. Overall it's a fun watch, with ff in certain scenes.

Predicted but Still Engaging & Emotional

It's definitely NOT a lovey dovey drama; more of a realistic drama; & surprisingly I enjoyed it. Almost in the 1st half eps, it's like other lakorns with its conflict & melodramatic vibes. It started to be much more interesting when the divorce issue came up. & after that, everything is just realistic; which I love it. Not a sweet & romance drama; even Na & Wasin's story. Na, what can we hope from a widow to be in love again? Wasin, he's really straightforward, even about his feeling; he never talks sweet. But they show a great chemistry. Also Chad & Tharee that's cute & sweet in their own way.

Lessons I got:
- A wife should realize her priority role & know that men commonly likes something pretty. I admit that Na's so busy with house chores that she forgets to take care of herself. Thada sometimes jokingly asks her to be better-dressed, have better look. But Na didn't take it seriously. It becomes a problem when someone pretty & sexy like Kanya comes to Thada's life. Thada is already happy with Na in his life. But he's just like other men that needs to see someone pretty & tempting. Na didn't fulfill his need in this aspect. Unfortunately, Kanya did it. Don't get me wrong, Thada's action is totally wrong, but Na isn't totally right. Na is a wife, not a maid. She should've acted as a wife, not too busy with that house chores.
- We all know that Kanya is the one started this problem. She intended to make Thada fall for her. He had tried to be loyal to Na. But Kanya's actions & look are too tempting to deny. What's worse is, when Thada realized her intention, he didn't immediately stay away from her. He stupidly get along with her plan. Men, oh, men…

The best things from this drama: how Na moves on & be happy with her new life, how Thada & Na make up with each other (as friend), & the regret of Thada. After he realized what he's done, he's totally regretful. One of the best scene is when he's staring at his family photo (him, Na, & their daughter) in his office; staring that deeply.

Best Revenge Lakorn I've Ever Watched, So Far

1st time i watched it just for Mew. But the more i watch it, the more i know the details, the more i love the main cast & story. i've rewatched it for 5-6x, lol. So many things i wanna share in this review, but it ended up just like this.

Like:
-storyline. The background of why Sai has that fiery revenge is nothing special, but her way in playing the ‘game’ is actually interesting. We can see that Sai dominates throughout the drama, but in the end she gets what she deserves. The plot is also interesting. When Sai is about to stop herself, but her opponent makes it worse instead. Also when Buri is about to visit Sai, but Sai ruins it instead. Gosh, so tragic and emotional. And when the story seems to end happily, it still has dynamic, lol. Well, revenge drama usually has life lesson, but in this one, they make it differently, wonderfully.
-acting. I love the way Sai stares at her ‘opponents’ with her cunning mind & intimidative eyes. We can see that in these moments, Sai is surely a strong, dominant, & controlling woman. However, if you notice it, you’ll see how Sai react towards Buri: she becomes a sweet & obedient girl. It’s Buri, the only man who can control Sai, also makes Sai get headache, lol. I did enjoy their scenes & chemistry together. I also love how Buri tries so hard to restrain his heart towards Sai, also to keep his secret. Pity him, he has to face such situation between best friend & lover. Chan, he looks so lonely & obviously needs love. When he realizes that Sorn is care of him but already engaged, he can’t do anything. Sorn, the naïve & plain girl but has a pure heart. At first her character doesn’t look interesting, but later she becomes the best in character development. When she knows what she wants, she will try her best to get it, of course in good way. Pat, he perfectly portrays a man who's just grown up. Unfortunately, he’s not experienced enough in playing the ‘game’ with Sai and compete with Chan & Buri. To Sai, Pat’s just a kid who tries so hard to be on the same level as Sai, Chan, Buri. In fact, he’s not.
-OST. As people said, the 3 OSTs are the best! It fits & intensifies the emotion in scenes.

Dislike:
-of course the ending? but i didn't fully hate it. Like, it's not fair for certain people to have ending like that, but it's the best ending for other people i guess. It's a realistic ending. And with those amazing acting, wonderful story, i do forgive the ending. I'll still choose drama with amazing storyline with sad ending rather than those with average story & end happily yet flatly, or even forced to be happy ending.

Has Potential, But.....

It has potential. A single father who struggles to support his children. And when he meets his lover, they survive together thru ups and downs. However, let me tell you that the biggest issue from this lakorn is SOUL.

This lakorn lacks soul in almost every scene, which I regret the most. There are many problems with the cycle: problem-solved-happy-problem-solved-happy, again & again, but what I really feel is just BLAND. Also too many coincidences which makes me think “ok, don’t worry, there’ll be miracle for this problem.” Also when (supposed to be) romantic scenes, I don’t feel like ‘awww sweeet’, warm, lovely, etc. Bland. I wonder whether it’s due to the actors only, or part of it is the production team that doesn’t give enough soul/emotion to the scenes and doesn’t explore the characters’ emotion. Fyi, I don’t need passionate/lustful romance. Light sweet moments, deep talks, helpful to each other, staring each other deeply, that’s enough for me, as long as they explore the emotion. I’m also fine with those evil 3rd wheel, evil mother in law, etc. it’s just that I’m not emotionally involved with the plot :(

Surprisingly, it still deserves 7.5 from me. Things I like:
-it's getting better at last 5 eps.
- strong & mature FL. To date a widower, especially when he already has kids, isn’t that easy. ML should think of others, not just his gf. The gf should be ready not to be his 1st priority in his life. & yeah, she’s ready with that. She always understands her bf’s condition. That’s why, no matter how hard the problems, how evil the 3rd wheel & other parties, they can face it together, no misunderstandings between them. It makes this lakorn isn’t stressful.
- The other 3 couples are interesting to follow.

Light and Enjoyful Drama

This lakorn has all the “lakorn checklist”: fake/forced marriage, annoying + loud-screaming + evil-eye antagonists, rich+spoiled children, awesome+breathtaking castles (yeah I can’t call it “house” lol), too dramatic, etc. I usually can’t get along with such lakorn, but try this one bcoz of the leads, & surprisingly I could enjoy this one!
Things I like:
- Chemistry of both leads are cuteeeee, love them, especially when ML teases FL & she smiles shyly, aww. And ML’s character is warm, mature, kinda family man.
- Love story of Pink & Wut is also interesting. At first I wondered why Pink insisted on marrying Nuk & stayed in that house, later I could guess the reason.
- The strong characters of the siblings. I usually can’t endure seeing the protagonist being bullied by the antagonist. But in here, I enjoy so much when both parties argue. Bcoz when the antagonists bully/threaten the protagonists, almost everytime the protagonists are able to talk back/challenge in elegant ways, & finally they can win. Hahaha. It just satisfies me.
- Enjoy the whole stories. Only some scenes I usually skip: scenes of that crazy evil family. I skimmed it just to understand the story.

Things I don’t really like:
- after what Khun Jee had done, the ending for her isn’t really satisfying. It’s just too easy for her.
- unfortunately, the ending is so so. wish I could see Pin knowing the truth that Neung just pranked her. Also wish the leads had more deep talks after the misunderstandings they had.

I’ll recommend this if you need light, cute, not too stressful dramas.

It's Okay

I decide to watch it just to see Jes&Vill, but from reviews here, i've anticipated that both aren't really main leads here. It's more of a family drama rather than romance.
Some people also say the story isn't good. But i should prove it myself to decide whether it's good/not. And all i can say, this drama is okay, not that bad, but not that stunning.

The best thing of this drama is the family of Nam Ngeun-Kaimook-Fahsai-Sailom. I adore them so much although they aren't real family by blood. They live a happy & warm family. This family is much more relatable with us rather than Ekarin's crazy rich family. It just tears me up when this family have to separate.

The worst thing? Could be Pawinee. She's too cruel, too much, too dramatic. And after all she's done, i'm not satisfied with the ending. An evil woman like her should've been punished much more severly than this.

Nice Investigation-Action Drama

1st of all, i must tell you that it's DEFINITELY NOT a lovey-dovey drama. But if you wanna try investigation, murder, action lakorn, i'll recommend this. As an amateur in this kinda genre, i enjoyed this so much, i got hooked with the story. In other action lakorns, the ML usually is a strong man, a hero, able to solve any problems, respected by many people, etc. But in this lakorn, he becomes the accused one instead. I was curious of how he prove his innocence, or... it's indeed true that he's involved in those cases? That's why i didn't wanna skip any scenes to understand the whole story.

For the romance, it's weird that the 2nd couple is more romantic & attractive than the main leads, lol. There are kissing scenes for 2nd couple, but only hugging & holding hands for the main leads, they're calm. But it's not a problem for me, actually.

Lovely Action

I enjoyed the whole story: action, romance, comedy. It's all good. Interesting conflict between Yodrak & Nakrob bcoz it's not just about their career, but also their love life. Some dialogues involving Yodrak/Nakrob & Chon are sooo... deep that i can feel their love & sincerity toward each other. Love is strengthening. Love can turn a selfish man into a hero (sounds cliche but yeah that's how i feel, haha)

Of course i'm happy for Yodrak & Chon, but i pity Nakrob so much. However he's the first to propose Chon, he's Chon's first love, & his sincerity melted me down. When Chon 'met' him again, honestly i hoped she would've kissed him for the last time, though it's just his body that left :(

However, i think Yodrak's skill as a soldier is too instant, it shouldn't be compared to Nakrob's. Also, Chon's feeling towards Nakrob, 'fake' Nakrob, & Yodrak looks vague. But overall, it's still enjoyable.

Amazing!

The idea of bird nests business is just amazing. I appreciate the production team for portraying this kind of profession. The scenery (forest, beach) is also beautiful.

The story is well developed. I enjoyed the part when they stay in the island. The conflict is unique & already intense. When they move to the city, it's getting more intense & complicated with the involvement of ex-wife, troubled husband, & another woman (it's typical conflict in lakorn, but i still could deal with this, hahaha)

I also love the main leads' character. Weir is strong & tough, but he can also be jealous of unnecessary things, & be like a kid when he's sick. It's really cute actually :) While Thisa, she's smart & tough when facing her 'enemies', but she's just like any other woman who's easily touched when a man does good things to her. I also like her way of slapping. Instead of just using her palm, she uses all of the energy in her arm. That's why it looks powerful. LOL.

The chemistry? It's beyond expectation. Weir & Thisa are perfect match. They show their feeling by taking care of each other. It's not a one-sided love story where only the FL or ML is aggressive towards another. I can say that now Weir-Thisa is one of my favorite on screen couple.
