The first half was amazing. It was funny, romantic, full of friendship and simply great. Unfortunately as soon as they return to Thailand the drama takes a nose-dive. It feels as if they changed the writers. The characters seem almost schizophrenic. They change their opinions at every turn. The only ones who stay constant are Pat - he just continues to be spineless right until the last two episodes - and the main couple. But those two were great! Krit and Matt had perfect chemistry and made it seem like it was real and not just for a lakorn. If the director had stayed true to the first half, the show would have been a new favourite of mine! As a whole I don't regret watching it!

Rating:

3 points = 'hmmm...'
Rewatch value: I normally don't rewatch dramas, therefore.....

6-7 points = 'it's not better or worse than any other drama out there'
Story: nothing new, but enjoyable nonetheless
Music: not bad, but not very memorable either

9 points = 'I loved it'
Acting: Matt and Krit were fascinating. I could imagine them reacting the same way in real life. And for once the gay best friend was kind of funny and not simply annoying. Besides, I loved their friendship! It showed throughout the whole show and made my heart all fluffy ;)

10 points = 'I would die for it'
I don't give away 10 points. It really is that simple :)

I have to apologize beforehand, because this review turned out to be rather extrem in its words - but I really couldn't help myself on this one.....

This is probably - no, definitely - the worst lakorn I've ever watched!!!
Starting Ep 8, I was really concerned how they were going to rectify everything in the end. Then a shimmer of hope, only to be crushed in the last 3-4 episodes and with it every possibility for a satisfying happy end. By Ep 14 I just hoped for Bow to either commit suicide (yes, that's how much I hated the plot!) or just leave everything behind and start a new life without her stupid family, crazy husband and pretty much everyone else in this drama. I managed to keep watching until the middle of Ep 15 but then I had to stop before I really threw my laptop out of the window!
The only really likeable person in this whole messed up sh** was Bow and as I said before, I would have rather seen her dead than seeing her in this ending - she deserves soooo much more than this!

-------------------

Okay, I forced myself to watch the complete lakorn despite my hate for it.
And I have to take one thing back - in the first half of Ep 16 her father totally redeems himself and says everything I want to tell Bow myself! Bravo Pa :)

Aaah, I had so high hopes for this movie.

Jang Geun Suk playing Momo - could there be something more adoreable?
(And to be fair, he does play the part fairly well!)

But unfortunately the movie failed to deliver on all other parts. The story was rushed, the editing frantic at times. If I hadn't watched the Japanese version before, I wouldn't have been able to follow the story or at least thought it was utterly stupid.

I love the Japanese dorama and watched it several times.
So my advice: Give the movie a try and then, no matter whether you loved or hated it, WATCH THE DORAMA and see what this story could and should have been if done right!
