A MUST WATCH

It took me forever to actually start this drama. It had been on my 'PlanTo Watch" list for months. I eventually gave in and I haven't gotten a good night's sleep since I started it. It took me about 3 days to watch it and I'm so glad I did. It was very entertaining. It had a good balance between the crime and mystery and the romance themes. My only problem is that, with the sextual tension and build up between the ML and FL, their kiss was very disappointing. Their lips were barely touching. Other than that, it was a GREAT watch.

An Utter Waste of Time

This drama started out on a good premise. There were several moments where I thought 'what the hell was the writer thinking', but it didn't distract too much from the plot. Then as the series went on, I realised that it wasn't going anywhere. The same thing kept repeating. The problems were popping up left right and centre, however, nothing was being done to solve anything.
Yes, I get that they wanted to save the big reveal until the end, but it was very frustrating. Jao Sua's daughter and her family kept doing all these evil things and nothing was being solved, Basically, this show was an utter waste of my time. I kept watching hoping that something would happen, but to no avail. I would NOT recommend this series to anyone else and if I could see one day in the future, I would have skipped it all together.
I skipped through most of this series, where I probably watched about 15 minutes in total of each episode from episode 20. This series could have been split into two instead of the entire 30 episodes,

DISAPPOINTING SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

The show wasn't a bad watch. I was actually looking forward to watching this show. I'm a bigger girl, so I always enjoy shows where the 'underdog' AKA the fat girl gets the guy. However, I don't like the premise that this series falls on... it fell short in so many ways.

The series started out with Miyuki having absolutely no self confidence and it ended with her still having no self confidence. All her life, everyone around her told her that she was ugly so she grew to be a subservient, submissive person who has learnt to grin through all her challenges, hoping that everything will work out ok. Never willing to fight back.

Her father didn't come out and say she was ugly, but it was always implied. Her husband who fell in love with her, never once said that she was beautiful, or complimented her looks in any way. He also never once stood up for his wife when everyone around her kept bullying and disrespecting her. He was just a silent bystander who watched it all happen and then telling her sorry.

His boss and the secretary kept insulting Miyuki about her looks and the fact that she was fat, how she wasn't good enough for him, how she would damage his career... and it seemed that it was ok, as if it was expected... like it's the norm to speak to someone this way. When they went out furniture shopping, the boss and the secretary said that she wasn't good enough to be seen by Osamu's side in any other capacity than a manager, and he actually went along with it. she was his WIFE and he let them belittle her like that. This all helped to cement in Miyuki's mind that she was never good enough for her husband and that she should be grateful that he married her.

Osamu didn't try to reassure her of his feeling. He didn't show that he loved her or deeply cared for her. The only way he sowed some resemblance of a backbone was when he announced that they were married, which to me was a stupid move. Most Asian celebrities, when they marry a non-celebrity, often time keep this person's identify a secret because they know the backlash he/she will get.

I also hated how Miyuki kept bowing and being so submissive to her husband. She never thought that she would ever marry anyone, talk less of marring this famous, handsome celebrity who just happens to be her idol. She seemed so grateful that he married her that she was always looking for ways to please him, always giving in to every demand he may have. This grated on my nerves. It sends out a message to other young girls out there that are fat or so called ugly, won't get a good looking partner and if they do, they should be eternally grateful... bowing and worshiping the ground that this man walks on.

There was ABSOLUTELY NO chemistry between the main couple. The husband wasn't vocal about his adoration for his wife and he didn't show it physically either. Their kiss scenes had no feeling to it... it seemed rehearsed or like it was just part of the script (which it was) which shouldn't be the case.

I didn't regret watching this series but it was so disappointing. If you're going to write a series about a fat girl overcoming obstacles and finding true love, at least try to be convincing with the love part and let their be something learnt from the story.

A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!! SO WORTH IT

I watched this drama about 2 years ago and I liked it then. For some reason I decided to rewatch it... and let me tell you, it was so much better the second time around. I was laughing to myself at odd hours in the morning as I rewatched it. I loved how the events played out. I didn't hate Min Ha Ri for what she did... in a way, I understood why she did what she did.... and her guilt in the end made her actions worth being forgiven.
There wasn't much skinship between them but the chemistry between the leads was off the charts. I really enjoyed it
I would recommend anyone to watch it. I'm already looking forward to rewatching it again

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all my years of watching Asian dramas, this is by far the stupidest ML I have ever seen. He believes everything that is said about the FL. He is so caught up with who he believes her to be, that even thought she has repeatedly shown him her true self, he refuses to see what is right in front of his eyes.
For Christ's sake...he knew she was a virgin after he RAPED her, but within a few weeks, he comes to the conclusion that she sleeps around just by the gossip of people who he knows hates her. He knew he was her first when her slept with her, yet still he questions if her baby is his. However, he accepts the other woman's baby as his even though he doesn't remember sleeping with her. This is
The ML mistreats the FL for the entirety of the series... and for what???? He didn't have a definitive reason to distrust her or question her dignity. He has never seen her in a compromising position with any man, yet still he is sure that she is sleeping with every Tom, Dick and Harry that she says hi to.
And the FL.... she's another one. What the hell did she see for her to fall in love with the ML???? He mistreated her more than he ever showed her affection. The man RAPED her and she gets up the next morning smiling and being all lovey dovey with him just because he said he was sorry??????????? I seriously don't get it. She has absolutely no backbone, she may as well be a snake... then again, that's too strong as snakes tend to bite back when threatened. She lets everyone in the drama walk all over her. I bet if she could understand a dog's. language, even they would walk over her. I swear... I she spends 3/4 of this drama crying. I'm a sucker for happy endings, but I absolutely HATED the ending. After all the hell the ML put the FL through, he didn't deserve spending the rest of his life with her. She shouldn't have taken him back. This drama was a waste of brain activty

Not worth the watch if there isn't going to be a Part 2

I was so pulled into watching this drama series. I read the synopsis and thought I had to watch it. The first 23 episodes were epic. I couldn't put the series down. I was on my edge of my seat until the last episode... then.... it just went into a whole other realm I didn't expect. There was basically no confusion between the leads until the last episode. The FL should have known what kind of person the ML was... and she just up and believed everything after spending practically all her time with him for months on end.
And then the ending. This drama had one of the most hated, unexpected endings I have ever come across in a C-drama. I absolutely HATED the ending. If it wasn't for the ending, this drama would have been one of my favourites. It had everything going for it... the strong FL who was good at fighting, the over protective and indulgent ML... everything. I don't think I will watch this drama again... just because of the crappy ending.

Way too long!!! Too many things happening at once.

I've watched the Chinese version to this series and absolutely loved it. When I saw that there was a Thai adaptation, I jumped at the chance to watch it.
The series started out really good, and for the most part I was enjoying it. But then, by the time episode 21 rolled around I realised that it was the same thing happening over and over again. Then I kinda lost interest.
The main focus of the drama was lost in all the misunderstandings, the blackmails, lies, phychos, etc. I started skipping a little from episodes 21 - about 23... but after that I was basically skipping through 3/4 of the remaining episodes.
There was too much happening in this one drama. It's almost as if the writers decided to put everything that came to their minds in the 40 episodes. By the time one problem was resolved, another popped up in literally a few minutes later.
I mean, that douche (Bim) kidnapped Liu and Namkhing and a few minutes later we find out she has cancer. All happening in the same episode. And added to that fact, there's this Nathi who keeps insisting that he's fated to be with Namkhing. Not even paying attention to the fact that Namkhing is already in love with her boyfriend. He's the female reincarnate of Lika from a few episodes back.
Very draggy and this for me was a one hit... not a one hit wonder because I didn't particularly enjoy it. Wouldn't watch again.

ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you look up the word 'frustrating' in the dictionary, I bet you'd see this drama's name beside it.
I've watched my share of Asian dramas, especially lakhorns, with their unrealistic plots, and idiotic, naive female leads, but this one takes the cake.
This drama started out really well actually, it had the makings of being a great drama. Playboy male lead who has been heart broken and now sees women as playthings that he changes at the drop of a hat... naive female lead who hates the male lead but will eventually fall in love with him eventually... your classical love octagon... hateful mother-in-law... you know, the basics.
But when it reached about episode 12/13, it went down like a sinking ship, never to be resurfaced. I know this is fiction, but the some of the plot hole are so huge, I wonder which writer in their right mind wrote this.
Let's talk about Da. She's so in love with this Patee duche that he does no wrong in her eyes. He quite LITERALLY told her, on several occasions, that he doesn't love her and sees no value to her existence, has embarrassed her repeatedly, but she hangs onto to his shirt strings like a god forsaken puppy, grasping at it's last breath of life.
And then there's P'Non. For christ's sake... if your current GF feels insecure with ur friendship with ur ex... stay far away from her. That's common sense. He's so easy to manipulate. Both him and Paeng.
P'Sa came back and added a new twist to the drama. It has now become longer, more confusing and drawn out. She's a deceptive BITCH who ends up doing the same thing(Admittedly, a better job) that P'Non's mother and her little squad of vindictive followers were doing from before. P'Sa has P'Non and Paeng wrapped around not just her little finger, but all ten, Thumbs and all.
Other than the fact that Pol and Kaewta, Prae and Rakchat and of course the leads ended up together, this drama was a total flop. As for that evil, psycopathic dueche Patee, he should have reaped what he deserved. His change was too sudden. He was a heinous menace for all of 28 episodes and then BOOM, he's a changed person. After all the bullsh*t he put Da through, he should have suffered more. The drama should have shown where Paeng's mother-in-law recognized her good qualities gradually as time progresses, instead of just having a miraculous revealing in the last 20 minutes of the last episode. We didn't even get to see Non and Paeng having a good and peaceful relationship without all the pranks and sabotage before the drama ended.
Would I re-watch this drama... absolutely NOT!!!! It's a miracle I made it to the end (even if I skipped most episodes from 12 onward).
We didn't even get a good kiss... not even a good and proper hug. I was really disappointed with this series.

One of the BEST Sport C-Drama series ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this series as much as I did. It was GREAT!!!!
The acting was superb. It has me sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my nails in anticipation of what was going to happen next.... especially with the last 2 episodes.
The drama does have the cliché ending that we are all used to, but the plot of events involved with the build up makes the ending so much more satisfying. I cried and laughed with the characters throughout the series. There was a lot of character growth, especially with Luo Xiao Yi and Xiao Han. I really hated Luo Xiao Yi at the start of the show, but by the end, there was so much character growth that I started to like her. I recommend this series for anyone to watch. You won't regret it.

A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have watched the Korean, Japanese and Thai adaptations of this drama and I must say, this was by far the BEST. In the other adaptations, the male lead had little to no character development. He treated the female lead with the same indifference as before they were married, however, with this adaptation, we see exactly when and how the male lead fell in love with the female lead. We see where he was, for lack of a better word, grateful for her love. In the other adaptations, there was no point in time where the male lead didn't feel entitled to the female lead's love. However, with this version, we can see where the male lead's character slowly changed. He smiled more, they laughed together, he paid a lot of attention to the female lead and there was a lot of skin-ship. I don't mean kisses or sex scenes, but occasions where they hugged, cuddled or spooned in bed. The male lead laughed with his wife, and although very few, he told her how he felt about her and that he loved her. Even when the family is together, there are moments where they laugh and make fun of each other- just like any other family. In the other adaptations, this wasn't the case. I'm not known to be emotional and I cried at more than one points in this drama.
The male lead showed his vulnerability when he thought of loosing the female lead. In this adaptation, the amount of love or interest that was given by the male and female leads to their relationship wasn't so unequal. Sure, the female lead put in more, but we cane see where the male lead is putting in some effort. Yes, the female lead was practically obsessed with the male lead, but there was practically no point where I felt frustrated with the male lead's attitude towards the female lead. I think for most persons who have watched the other adaptations, we all wished there was a time when the female lead left the male lead and he had to beg for her attention... well... we actually get a little of that. This drama has joined my list of favourite Asian dramas. I will definitely be watching this again in the future.

GREAT SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This drama popped up on my feed on YouTube and so I decided to try it. Let me tell you, it was the best decision of my life. I fell in love with this series. I loved the gender role reversal. It was a nice twist to the norm.
This drama had me laughing from as early as the first episode. At first, the leads didn't particularly like each other (or rather the male lead didn't like the female lead because she didn't fit the standard mold) but their relationship grew throughout the series and we could see where they learnt to appreciate the differences in their spouse. I especially loved the fact that the female lead was so strong. Both mentally and physically. There aren't a lot of dramas out there with female leads like her.
There's the saying that she fell first but he fell harder... this exemplifies the characters in this series. The male lead falls so in love with the female lead that he would literally put his life on the line for his wife.
Give this drama a watch, it's more than worth it. I watched it twice in a month... and that says something.

Strong and Handsome ML ..... Cute and Lovable FL

I really enjoyed this drama... way more than I thought I would.
I loved the ML and FL together. They had great chemistry and the acting was superb.
I also liked the fact that everyone ended up with someone and there were no jealous second leads trying to split up the main couple.
The drama progressed quite quickly too. The main leads got together quite quickly. The quarrels they had between them was mostly caused by misunderstandings and not by outside influences. What really ticked me off was the fact Jin's sisters who had bullied her throughout the entire series didn't get their just reward. They had too much of a happy ending... after the SHIT they put the entire family through, they should have gotten some kinda punishment.
Although I really enjoyed this drama, I honestly wouldn't watch it again. There wasn't any one thing that would make me come back again.

GREAT Series

This drama has been sitting in my 'on hold' list for months because I didn't get the vibe to watch it as yet. My one regret is that it took me so long to actually watch it. It was AWESOME!!!! The drama is relatively short, full of fluff and very cute.
There were no excessive drama, no jealous ex-girlfriend, no intense family feud or anything like that. It didn't have anything that kept me on the edge of my seat in constant suspense, wondering what was going to happen next, but it did it's job of holding my attention for the 19 hours it took me to watch. It was filled with continuous love and affection that both the main and second leads brought to the screen.
It pretty rear these days to see a drama where the male chases the female and there's no villainous ex-girlfriend trying to tear the couple apart, and I really enjoyed that. If you're wondering if you should watch this drama, go right ahead. You won't regret it. Trust me.

Not a Bad Watch

When I first started this drama I was so into it. I lost an entire night of sleep because of the first eight episodes. The acting is way above par, especially young Bpee. At that point when Bpee's grandmother died and Bpee was crying, I cried too.
There were also many moments of comedy for me to laugh over.
What I hated though, was the fact that the drama stopped progressing at around episode 8. That is literally half way through the series. It then spiraled into another 8/9 episodes of repetition. And I hated how stupid they made Mon's character. After everything that happened, it took him until the drama almost finished before he realised that his BITCH of a gf was the one doing all the wrongs and trying to kill his mother.
Man when you talk about the saying 'love is blind' you're going to see his picture in the dictionary.
This drama is like a lot of those other Asian dramas I've watched. There are some amounts of suspense and a whole truck load of frustration and then in the last 10 minutes, the leads have a so called happy ever after. I wish they would give the leads a happy ever after of at least an episode

GREAT Remake

I have watched all adaptations of this Drama and I must say... it was excellent. Tt was a good modern twist to a classic. It was relatable, realistic, there was depth to the characters, we saw character development and the acting was amazing.
Like I mentioned earlier, I have watched all the other adaptations and other than the Korean remake, this is the only time I have cried.
It wasn't drawn out but very fast paced. There wasn't a lot of drawn out drama scenes like in some of the other adaptations. Sixteen plus hours well spent.
