Thailand-indian vibes are surprisingly dazzling!!!!!!

This is the most lovable and funny movie I would have immagined it could happening in thailand!!!!!! the acting and cinematography so well done and performed full of vivid colors, I should say it is SO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and I am in love with the mixture of thailand and indian acting, it will be unforgettable for me "against the first review mentioned being forgettable"!!!!

This movie is so different from all the traditional thailand lakorns as there is a rare and few carrying this funny and comedic side, thailand lakorns are all known about dramatically speaking with so much tragedy and violence but this movie will make another new conception of the funny thailand shows!!!!!!

It was a great idea to portray the break up and reunion of all exes in this light and funny way that most of thailand shows are missing in their actings, this show should be more appreciated and rated more highly, I wish it will be more renowned in future as it is just today released.

Risa carried all the show and she performed well in this movie with her amazing dance with all the people thailand and indian around her was so fascinating and her english talking was not bad and her feelings when thrown in her exs hands was greatly acted as it was the core of the subject of movie, she will not confess her weakness just hiring Tim her other second ex to have the pride as she is not in need of Arun "first ex of Risa" but deeply she needed Tim without knowing this fact.

Tim could have been better, he was little dull and boring but as paired with Risa was a great combination of acting and was her healing from her numerous break ups, he was so good in sword duel and saving Arun's father as said "jack of all trades" and "hero" so well said by Risa, he didn't have the audacity to confess to her but just making fun of her was too not bad to add more for this comedic show, he too carried all the show with risa in the dancing scene, I loved them being together to the end and how they pretended they came back together to save her being weak in front of Arun and how Risa threw Tim in water as pissed her of!!!!

Arun on the other side was so greatly choosen as the indian guy boyfriend of Risa and I liked when he backed up to not commit a mistake against Monica when approaching Risa in a wrong moment, Monica his bride to be as the other was too cute and well choosen as him, he is careless guy who left Risa and surprised to meet her again as his wedding organiser and treat her as an old friend but all the indian actors here was so suitable and well combined with the thailand one.

Risa's gang friends Jan and Offy was too funny and loving when portraying the story of Risa's break ups in their rap song amazingly done.

I would recommend SO STRONGLY this amazing movie, the way Risa moved from Arun after the mostly laughable truck scene, when Monica caught Arun will fall in mistake with Risa when reminiscing their old memories, they convert the dramatic moment to a funny one this is when I FALL IN LOVE THE MOST WITH THIS UNPRECENTED MOVIE, it was too when enjoying the dancing and happy colorfully moments of traditional indian wedding!!!! Everyone is lovable and really so worthy to watch it for a great time to choose this magnificent movie.

JUST GIVE IT A TRY and you will not regret it at all, I wish it will get more high marks and pleasure from all watchers, it was a great option to watch after being in a drama slump, you will be transferred to another happy world, forgetting your surrounding the moment you will click play!!!!!

a well executed colorful noona romance that I highly recommend it!!!!

I binged watching this show in 1 day and started for the interesting age gap and as the leads seems so greatly paired together and though 20 years age difference but the actress looks so younger than her age that I see them pleasant acting together, as I too don't mind a large age gap at all!!!

the male lead presenting his superpower of psychometry was a new idea that makes a new vibes of unprecedented thailand lakorn so outstanding and funny to watch, I should say it is not boring but prefered if the bl scenes were not included as it didn't add anything special for the show and skipped them all cause the show is the main focus on noona drama and romance of first leads...

I should say the male lead is the most caring ever seen about the feelings female lead in a thailand drama and he nailed it so well, his superpower was a great add to the show that I like the idea though it is putting him in danger having aphenphosmphobia the moment he is touching people making his heart racing fastly but sacrificing this just for the safety of female lead and to know more about her as he is hiding the fact of this superpower from her!!!!

the female lead was his saviour when he was striking by the lighting of storm in his childhood and the idea that she was his key when it is started this superpower and when it ended was so original and amazing as it is a special bond between them that made me more curious to know about it

the cold personality of female lead giving the image of unbearable boss and how the male lead made her changing slowly to be more symapthizing with people around her and teaching her to consider their circumstances made her to be more tender and behaving more smoothly with all her surroundings from employees

I like the runway of fashion scenes was so colorful and vital making it so entertaining to watch and like the persistence and hardworking of female lead as a great fashion designer with all her her funny and friendly subordinates who added the value to this show besides the wonderful noona romance

the moment the male lead was running under the rain when mistaken that she accepted the proposal of her old friend and the same he did when she ws disppointed discovering that he had this strange superpower was so impressive for me that is unforgettable and greatly performed!!!

I would like to say this is a new genre of thailand drama that is way better from the conventional and traditional type of lakorns, it is so great and average show and highly recommended that I would like to suggest for every noona drama lover!!!! light to watch and really didn't feel all the way that reached the end in a blink of eye!!!!

Don't be deceived by this high rating which is no longer one just from THE PAST!!!

this drama is GOOD FOR NOTHING, it was the great and good one in the first half when they give her a second chance to reenter the life of a resident, maybe if they had focused on her diaries in the hospital how she did progress day after other in her medical field and how she updates herself to be fully proficient doctor though all the mistakes as beginner she did and difficult path she was going through would have been billion times much better than this pathetic and ludicrous story of trashy cheating husband who is the one I want to kill right now!!!!

this is not the funny and comedic story who anynody should laugh, there was few moments making in ho the clown here, but being mean and cheating failed making him the one here!!!! and the romance is abscent totally it should have been right if there was some romance made for jung suk and roy, but neither of comedy and romance I felt in this disappointing script!!!

to add the matter of liver donation which one should she choose between roy and the trashy in ho!!! for goodness sake what the great plot they add to this boring story, as I am choosing what the great quality of product I am buying?!?!

is that a some common sense to have in this rubbish head of writers to make the female lead SO HAPPY just getting divorce and being alone and let this scoundrel and beast man in ho go freely whith this damn love for this witch sung hee like this and he done his last favour for her to donate his liver, is that called a GREAT END? what the crazy and insane story I did ever heard of it, all if this mess happened and the rating is still 8.5!!!!

though a lot of people had surely dropped or lowering the rating for a logical reasons: she is the one belittled and humiliated by her in laws/childs and awful husband, everyone is stopping as obstacles in front of her to continue her career as doctor as they consider her worthless housewife and the marriage of convenience based just for assets!!!

no body had treated jung suk fairly even her own mother who asked her to forgive this trashy husband of her though he is having an illegitimate child, as he is a diamond husband she should stay his slave forever and staying bewatching this awful affair of this nasty couple of scoundrel in ho and witch sung hee!!!!

on the top of that what should be her problem if she had ended with roy? is being alone a great prize for herself after the divorce, she is free and not a flaw to begin anew in her life...

when roy confessed too late and she answered "she is tiring of loving someone" what the jock!!! are you serious mr screenwriter??? at least she should respond him "give me sometime to think" instead of this bullshit!!! he was the one supportive and encouraging her in all her path in her medical domain and she is considered him barely being a friend and her surgeon nothing more!!! she consider herself an "old fashion woman" and older for him to be a couple, is this the importance here after this honest confession?!

it was really a WASTING OF TIME!!! I will advise anybody who didn't give a try for this show till now, to just watch the few first episodes or don't watch it AT ALL, go for other dramas of uhm jung hwa, it would be better than to choose this "miserable life of dr cha" what it should have been titled instead of this one here!!!

I am fed up for this silly and bad show, I was so mindless and delusional waiting for an end to be satisfying despite all the disappointments and frustrating moments I lived watching this mess of dr cha's life?!

SHAMELESS WRITERS giving the victory for this wicked couple and make this poor woman jung sook alone like a whithered flower, because she deserves too to meet the one who deserves her!!!!

It is hurting... can't find the healing for this deep pain

When you can't find the right person to understand your pain but comes suddenly by coincidence.
This show extremely take the watcher deeply in the leads world of sorrow and agony. They make the watcher feel really that they feel empty inside and does not achieve anything in their life, not satisfying with their current situations.
I think the relationship between leads is original and unique. They have met a the time where they need someone who understand them and stands beside them in their hardships and come to heal each others
The story path and with watching one episode after the other gives for the watcher the feeling of curiosity to know if the leads will find the path of happiness and if they live a decent life and feel their human being sense.
The story has some sides of mystery and take the watcher to their world with professionalism acting and performance.
This kind of story has not been similar to any other drama, I think it deserves to continue watching till the end.

One of the most unkown and low rated taiwanese dramas, should be given a try

First once I had readed the synopsis, this is an old classical and typical romantic series that I was looking to something similar.
The story is not available on asian subbed dramas sites and I was wondering why this ignorance of this drama? Though nothing is special but I wanted to make this drama to reach more people in my review.
But WHY THIS LOW RATED DRAMA though the male lead is so famous that he had greatly performed with showing this sincere affection like he was in meteor garden and maybe all his other drama works.
The female lead was a bit dull and miss to have more great performance of acting her role but not so bad.
About the type of story being miniseries, it could be expended to few more episodes because the actions are so fast that you can finish it in half day.
The beginning of the drama was so hasty that I felt it should be started by other way little more detailed but based on miniseries it was like that.
To dive more in the details of story...
The male lead is a character of 18 years old, abandoned by his parents and treated so brazenly by his mother who obliged the female lead to break up with him and the surprise how the mother snatch the FL from her son under the pretext of not studying well.
The female lead knowing she had feelings for him and the parents don't mind to make her a couple with the brother of ML and the FL is naturally accepting this abominal fact and the love triangle begins here...
The brother of male lead was so indifferent and missing to act more fierecly when knowing about the past of leads.
What I like THE MOST about the story is the great acting of male lead suppressing his feelings to act normally and wishing a great life for his brother and wife, here pushing me to increase the rating of this miniseries.
My personal opinion this series in wronged to have this bad rating, it is neither excellent neither unacceptable just a plain story should be a little more valued so I write my review as no one at all wrote about it.

Being angry and don't falling in love do not solve the parental trauma...

It is a warm story in a humble house where the stern and mysterious girl hosted a new housemate who was abroad and landing newly in japan who were both unknowingly connected to the same story of family betrayal.

Naotatsu is a modest and kind boy who didn't know anything about this strange girl Chisa who doesn't seem likable, just cooking for him the painful plate upon his arrival which she had eaten the day her mother eloped with naotatsu's father...

Chisa had so many mixed feelings regarding her mother who hurted her in the past and accepting naotatsu who is related to her as being the son of her ex-mother lover but she considered him a little kind boy who didn't have any guilt to interfere him with her deeply painful problems.

Against what chisa thought, naotatsu was so loyal to chisa and sided with her at every time she was venting her anger when her mother was the topic of their talk.

Naotatsu was running from chisa when hearing the story from her talking with another one about her past but he found that there is no use from evading the truth so he decided to help her finding her mother by asking his dad so he didn't dare telling her that but when they reach her mother's house he wanted chisa to be strong and face her mother about her feelings and her unbearable pain especially when shocked as chisa's mother was building a new happy family with husband and step daughter and forgetting about her first child.

Naotatsu was a real great person understanding chisa and the scene he was crying she felt his innocent and genuine inner personality so she treasured all the moments with him as an amazing housemate.

Deciding not falling in love upon the betrayal of her mother, naotatsu was affected with what chisa was living after her mother left chisa and her dad, so not falling in love was naotatsu wanting to show his anger and pain to what the big fault his dad commited in the past but chisa doesn't want him to be like her.

Naotatsu though being a high school boy he was drawned to chisa who is oblivious to his feelings, she wanted him to find the right person having the same age as her.

The rain made them being together when he was running to catch her for not moving from the house so leaving his school just to decide confessing to her but she was smiling and at the same time didn't give a clear reply to him.

This is a healing story, learning to dig in food when you are terribly annoyed by the memories from the past (funnily speaking) like chisa did with naotatsu and they were not bad paired together just if he was a little older maybe it will fine but still he is a high school boy is considered so much younger as she is 8 years older than him in real life.

I enjoyed the movie in total and it is highly recommended for me and I wanted to write a review in the first as it was just one day ago uploaded subbed but in truth the end was great but wanted the female lead to be more responsive with him but not bad at all.

The best and wonderful show of 2024!!!!

this show had catched my attention from 1 year ago the time they announced about it reading its unprecedented plot that sounds so interesting and appealing to watch!!!! I actually wanted to try it as I like the huge age gap dramas of older woman/younger man and as I watched kim nam joo once in "queen of reversals" and really was like it is called queen in acting and portraying her role fantastically whatever it is and the same of cha eun woo I wanted to see him a new figure other than the usual handsome baby face actor casted in romantically role, but I was so flabbergasted of the chemistry of these two leads was insanely amazing portraying the huge amount of pain though that is not romantic but the acting was so realistic with high level performance!!!!

this is a journey of several mysteries that was unfolded one after other so wonderfully that anybody watching will not be able to evade any eye look away from it!!!! I binged watching 12 episodes in 4 days, the time I started watched this was before the last week airing so as the time was passing like in a blink of eye that it was pleasing me to the most as an unprecedented show cause I didn't skip any scene surprisingly as recently I am skipping while watching any korean drama but here differently the level of excitement is so high that I didn't feel it while watching any other korean drama!!!!

soo hyun is the character of wise and staid person that is the perfect lady in all meaning and successful wife but isn't lucky having such trashy husband who is pretending to love her but he is indeed a deceiving person and not compatible to be the ideal husband for the female lead that I would say it is a shame to have him as husband though living in the image of happy family but this one won't last forever as the evils are surrounding her everywhere...

soo hyun is not to blame to avenge for her son, it is the maternal instinct that pushed her to punish the culprit of her son who was acquitted wrongly and brazenly didn't apologized from her after she asked him several times at least to quench this fire of unjustice burning inside her regarding the law didn't rule for her favor but it was such a sad and heartbreaking moment when the rays of revenge was coming out from her eyes running over the culprit making him to be dead the same way he caused to her son...

the amount of pain and sufference soo hyun showed was satisfying to show what does it mean a mourned and grieved mother should be!!! I like soo hyun the smart and diligent woman who did everything to reveal all the hidden truth behind the death of her son and seon yul the mysterious guy who interfered in her life and getting intertwined with each other, she was following him all the way as being compassionate with him regarding he lived the same pain as her loosing the most closest person to his heart!!!! though it is not a romantic involvement but a noona drama with mystery and melodrama without a romance was something new I watched and being so attached with every moment I was watching this golden masterpiece drama!!!

soo hyun once all the miseries striked over her head at one time, being cheated by her huband was a heavy load to bear over everything she was suffering from and it was so amazing to make everybody guess about the mistresss who can be, even being jailed for 7 years, soo hyun was keeping her silence if it will relieve her for taking revenge for her son, taking advantage of her saying for her husband to break up with him and signing divorce paper was a motive for him to do this short mistake of cheating in a weakness feeling moment!!!

soo hyun should have divorced him the moment she was aware of the cheating matter and not burry it like it was told to her but I didn't like her indecissiveness about staying clinging over it till the end...

seon yul is the type of person who is doing dangerous tasks in the favor of the congressman who used him for his service as he took care of him after his father took him as a will for kim joon to be under his care, seon yul is seeking revenge of soo hyun and gradually made her being aware for the matter of cheating but when he discovered that the culprit is the common between the accident of his mother and the death of gun woo (soo hyun's son), he will be joining hands with her to bring down their real opponent and regretting doing that for soo hyun as scheming plots against her...

cha eun woo did a great job in acting for portraying the rude life of a person choosing to drop out from his medical studies to seek revenge from his murderer's father, he was so amazing showing the real tears of pain and sorrowness in a splendid ways, he was so different and unusual to see him in fighting scenes but this amazing skills in acting for any role he is given is so greatly conveyed!!!!

soo ho is the trushiest and abominable person ever seen as a cheating husband and a father who pretended to care about his son but not sufficient in my opinion, he is prioritizing his interest over anything and indeed he was dealing with the culprit of his son whom helped him to be a director and even submitted himself for him in order to not hurting his wife while the death of his kid was something he condoned it so easily!!!! surprisingly he reversed the equation of this misjudgement of him and indeed he was digging a hole to kim joon to make him fall in the trap of deceiving by cooperating with seon yul unexpectedly!!!

yoo ri though she did a big mistake for her sister but she at least regretted what she did despite all of that I didn't thought this lovely sister image she gave to turn into the one stabbed her!!!!

I liked the character of go eun the mother of soo hyun, she is such an adorable and lovely mother that anybody will admire a mother like her...

kim joon character was so convincing and though he is he villain but the actor was doing a great job in portraying the devil and homewrecker character manipulating all the leads the way he wanted...

the end was so satisfying as a masterpiece like that I was so pleased to watch such a high performance and fabulous acting!!!! I wished indeed to have some romance here but they ended to be healing friends and allies is not bad too as seon yul is ready to avenge for soo hyun and her son after knowing how cruel was his father... but also prefered if the leads staying in contact with each other and not being apart after being healing friends and allies...

this is a so highly rated drama that I recommend for everybody liking the mystery genre, this is about a realistic show deserving a high ratings so don't take in consideration the ratings of mdl as it is deserving the minimum of 9.5!!!! I liked the moment when seon yul blocked the way of a vase with his back to not hit soo hyun when she was volounteering at the nursing home of elderly and when seon yul hold the hand of soo hyun when she came to his mother funeral as he was surprised though hating each other but it was a motive to see her in another better way especially when she made him aware that his mother's death was intentional not by accident so these two injured souls cooperated to bring down their real opponent...

I liked too when at the trial of kim joon, at the witness seat seon yul confessed that though he wanted to avenge from her, soo hyun is the only one cared about him to live a proper life and having a complete meal that he didn't feel this caring from anybody before as living a rough life and the most important that the culprit took a fair ruling to be for life jailed was so greatly written as an end to cut the existence for more of his misdeeds...

The comedy side is the only thing what I loved the most but still highly recommended...

When watching this drama from the start, I was so pleased by how funny it was, I didn't laugh over any korean drama from a long time so far that I thought it will be a mix of comedy and mystery with crime that should be supposed and I couldn't wait to watch one episode after the other in order to complete it thinking it will be promising but it wasn't for a long time unfortunately...

The main characters performed their role comedically so great and the duo of ye bun and jang yeol to resolve the complications of mysterious crimes in mujin town was so successful and I really enjoyed these two actors together and how he exploited ye bun to return as a cop in seol after being demoted by snatching her from sun woo and at every situation she slacked from him for his and observing her as being his neighbor to guarantee she will help him always when he gave her homeworks (especially when she tried to learn arabic language was one of the funniest moments) and used her as an important tool for him that she tagged along with him when always wanting to catch the culprit, that was totally funny and worthy moments to watch, that I highly recommended for this reason only.

Ye bun and jung yeol are suitable to be in romantic relationship, hoped to make jang yeol more emotionally for ye bun but she was like a robot for him turning her head to follow him, sadly I was disappointed in that side and the story could be twisted so easily to make it as a slow burn romance but though this tag is mentioned I couldn't feel it this way in the middle of the chaos of serial crimes.

The support characters was so dull and unimportant against what most of people think but ok hui the intimate friend of ye bun was a great add of cast and the most side character I loved, her look and her act was ideal for the comedic cast.

When the story progressed and the funny side of story is turning off and fading gradually I felt it is becoming boring and didn't being excited to know who is the real culprit after episode 10, though at the beginning I appraise the script written for the serial murders and how jang yeol analyse the consequences of crimes and how he being helped by ye bun to push her funnily touching the butt of suspects by sticking the gums that I couldn't forget all the enjoyable comedic parts of the drama and especially the series of panties disappearance was impeccably amazingly hilarious!!!!!

I dropped cause I didn't felt any interest to continue it after loosing funny moments of the drama but though major of watchers enjoy it but for me it was boring after the second half of drama that I think like watching another drama with no any suspense anymore just my personal opinion but I recommend only for the first half just for me and nobody maybe will agree with me.

Overall it is not a failure but a great choice of drama highly recommended for everybody, I am not against this drama but totally to support it and raise the rating of drama just for the hilarious moments I enjoyed having a confused contrasted feelings.

I like the hairstyle of female lead with her garments looking like a little cute girl being portrayed as a funny character, I am in love with these pets ye bun was examining them it was a reason too to watch it as I like these cute little animals filmed along that I am deeply fond of all pets and as a veterinarian she was supposed to be given more scenes as most of ye bun role was for the sake to help jang yeol, to note I was sursprised that ye bun is in real life is older than jang yeol but her successful look hides her true age that I appraise how they work to make her being younger.

it is not the better but NOT THE WORST!!!! the noona romance just made its worthiness!!!!

I wanted to write a review just to say that a lot of reviews giving 1 and 2 ratings for nothing I perceived it right to give it that and I have to be realistic that 6.8 is not wronging but though it could deseve 6.5 to 7 ratings for overall performance it but I felt the story and script is not bad at all as so many users were complaining about it but surely could be better!!!!

I am the one that taking side to see it an average in everything, but for an actress renowned like song hye kyo and jang ki yong I would say it will make a gap in their history of tv series for many watchers but the drama could be casting like for the beginners in acting not for someone veteran like these actors who breaking a records in highly rated dramas for both of them: the glory, descendants of the sun, kill it, www and so many...

I wanted to try this show as song hye kyo is great when paired with a younger actor showing a wonderful affection and sincere love for her partner, she presented the same nice performance as well jang ki yong who didn't care for all the objections of his mother and hye kyo's mother that with a broad smile receiving this harsh words of being out of wedlock and how he fell for his dead brother's ex like a betrayal but he was so innocent in love with her without being deliberate to hurt his dead brother, as the coincidence of fate played the role to make them meeting together!!!!

I dropped it at the start after 5 episodes due to the negative reviews, then gave it a try for the sake of noona drama and binge the rest for 2 days while I skipped many scenes of the second female lead and second male lead as being so boring paired together with the work issues but I am here just for the noona romance that I prefere to watch always, it was also imperessive the terminally ill friend park hyo joo of first female lead and second female lead that performed so amazingly and she deserves to be the second female lead instead of choi hee soo, I can see a disparity in the acting of first leads and second leads that it could have been better to cast song hye kyo, jang ki yong and park hyo joo to be the leads as I like the most of their acting, the remaining of actors was average and less which made a great issue!!!!

I like the idea of now we are breaking up, moving back and forth in the realtionship of first leads as hye kyo was surrounded with hard circumstances: her work problems, parental divorce and her terminally ill close friend was a dilemma blocking her way for living a normal life with her partner as the chemistry was attarctive and catching otherwise the show didn't worth this little thing making it still acceptable watching till the end!!!!

the character of mothers was annoying especially song hye kyo's mother when throwing a rude speech to him but jang ki yong's mother character was bearable though she was nasty due that she loved ki yong despite not being her biological son and the son of her cheating husband but at least she chose to stay outside if her son will end up with his beloved one overmore I hated yoon jung hee the fiancee of ki yong's older brother too being a hurdle in the way of the leads but I can consider the end was "satisying" for the leads being together at least!!!!

the best hidden gem historical korean drama of 2024!!!! so much highly recommended!!!!

this story is so well executed with a realistic performed actors that they are acting their utmost best they could to add this unprecedented excitement that I felt ever when watching the historical genre!!! I binged watching for 2 days before the last release of the last 2 episodes!!!

if I am asked about what I like the most, I should say that everything was charming enough to captivate anyone in this outstanding historical era, the great outfit disguisement, the loyality and unlimited power of female lead in her skilled fighting scenes and the obvious firing eyes of male lead and facial expressions enough to tell being smitten with the female lead...

I watched this actually for being a noona romance with large age gap between leads though not the main plot as I am a huge fan of it!!!! but I should give it a higher rating if that was more focusing on romance with more screen time for leads being together but with this pleasant ending I should say it amends this shortage of needed missing romance!!!

however this is the most amazing historical korean drama that anyone could hope for!!!! the end was in the right place and SO SATISFYING for me that makes the show flawless and outstanding, love every details in this unprecedented series.

I like how the freedome of female lead after suffering from being jailed for her in laws with mourning for a fictional husband with a void marriage for 15 years going in vain as the funny fact was that the husband is unknown for being married to 2 wives and eloped far away making his parents thinking that he is already dead!!! she was finally being freed with the annihilation of this unrealistic marriage.

I like that fact too of the hidden identity of yeo hwa how she was rebellious and breaking the traditional rules of a mourning wife not allowed to get out of her home disguising in a masked man to fight astonishingly for giving justice for the wronged poor people and helping them amidist a corruptive nation and how she can handled to be at the same time a serious and funny actress.

the male lead su ho was too a great substantial element of this marvellous story beside the amazing performance of yeo hwa, his eyes tell a lot about how he is the most emotional toward the female lead and the most scene I was amazed with it when he prevented her by sword fighting to cut the head of her murderer father in law seok jo song and make the law dealing with him finally to be executed fairly and saying he could be able to kill jo song before her but he didn't want to be a criminal to avenge of jo song for su ho's killed family and the deceased brother of yeo hwa.

actually I didn't thought that the series will improve wonderfully in the last two episodes which gave the most worthiness of the drama is the episode 11 and 12 that I liked the most of overall the show!!! and I gave it a more high rating reaching the impressive penultimate and last part of it.

it was a really joy and happiness that I see like this exquisite final that if I could use all the terms and vocabs of being pleased by this show I will do!!! this is so highly recommended drama that I wish to be more valued than 8.5 in the future when it is more renowned and that I will add to my list of favorite korean dramas so easily though I dropped too much high rated dramas but this one is so special for all the fabulous content of it.

The love of a confused people is pure white... (OST)

This story is one of my favourite genre as I like the topic of betrayal in married life but mainly the husband was the one who start it in most dramas but when the wife it is not so common...

This is underrated drama and not well known, though it is been 19 years but the social realism of age gap as older woman/younger man is not something new in asian drama.

When a housewife is not satisfied with her boring married life and think she loves her husband and is happy with him but deeply deny the fact that they are just like housemates no more than that... this is what the case is here about the relationship of kozue and hideo.

It was sudden like a storm (english title) because the unexpected encounter of kozue with someone teenager who makes her yearn for her youth days that she lived complaining being the tallest with no so much intimate friends around her and nothing in common between her mates in junior high till the lonely and abscent minded brown hair school boy with bangs striking her attention at the middle of the road of a rainy day... (Takuma the storm who changed her life)

Kozue is the one confused and not honest with her self didn't mind the accompany of takuma the dancer teacher and mysterious one, at the beginning he pushed her to practice dance when persuading her that dance will change her view of herself and as she thought she is not the one who may know how to do it, taking steps by steps to join him after the fate of them meeting so many times...

Something inside her made a storm in her feelings toward him, is it a "disease of luxury" as she said to pamper herself by dancing to awake after the slump in her boring life or is it the feelings for the person who made her more confident about herself and to take care of her beauty that she missed while she is with hideo her husband?!

Takuma did not wanted to reveal his mystery to kozue as sick person suffering from emphysema, at each time she decided to end her relationship with him, something happening to him about his disease stopped her from being decisive and empathy with him, couldn't help leaving him alone when her husband was in need for her...

It was not a scandalous affair to say but a betrayal of kozue for hideo who is oblivious and didn't want to doubt the loyality of kozue for him cause at everytime takuma taking a step ahead towards her, she would avoid him for no more feeling guilty about her husband...

Kozue's mother caught her when takuma confessed to her and warned her that "married woman shouldn't falling in love"...

Yoriko was the one receiving the messages of what kozue did in detail with takuma and yoriko wanted kozue to be with takuma as she knew his medical issue and she is the cause for confessing to hideo what kozue was doing behind his back but yoriko did all of this because she had a crush on hideo...

The confess of takuma to kozue that he loved her after he didn't know what this kind of feeling of him for her, was shaking her more and she strayed his seriousness with another talk but couldn't do anything just to love him back but didn't have the courage to tell him that as the society will judge her badly and everyone around kozue and takuma will be in pain and despise them regarding their 16 years age gap...

Divorce will happen after hideo saw the real scene of kozue hugging takuma who has been attacked by emphysema and crying loudly, couldn't dance anymore according to his health condition was more worthy for kozue than to justify to hideo what is her relationship with takuma was what about...

I didn't like the end at all as I wished kozue and takuma ended up together but kozue choosed to be independent and as takuma is special for her she wanted to free him from her for not facing more criticism from the society but takuma wanted for sure to be a great man and finding a job for kozue to accept him and he didn't care for the great age gap 18 vs 34 as he wanted her so badly but if it was the opposit I would give it 10 as overall rating for sure...

Female rivalry should be healed by true love...

This story is as like any classic thailand drama about revenge and jealousy but what the most attracted me though I had watched 2 episodes then drop it being long but giving a try and rewatch it after one month is that the curiosity to know which level the grudge between Yod and Cherd will reach.

This drama differs from others that when watching two main females plotting against each others with unstoppable retaliaton everyone will think because of to their evil inner personality here was different they are in fact vulnerable and longing for a true love to make them stopping this unlimited rancor though the casualties around them didn't made them refrain this adversity war.

The battle of Yod and Cherd's revenge was unworthy for someone like Lanna the scoundrel and nasty one who was swinging from one to other just when finding his interest is keeping him safe as a low ranked politician always greedy to be the highest one in social class and was the most one exposing to beating and humiliation always being the shameless one.

What I liked between characters are Chan (Cherd' brother) and Buret who were the healing elements of the story and cooperated to make Yod and Cherd apart and giving them the meaning of true love after many tries maybe make them to forgive each others.

The most abominable characters are Reungboon (Yod's cousin) who was the ex-husband of Cherd and Yod's father who always being obstacles between the happiness of Yod and Chan and sometimes Buret's parents who treated Cherd as worthless woman for all the clip of scandal she made with Lanna leaked by Reungboon to social media.

In fact Cherd was the reason for the beggining of this war with Yod, who had the right to retrieve her vicious husband and used her power and tricks to make her fall in her traps but Cherd too wasn't that innocent and overly attacking her by snatching Yod's father and the war started from the clip of Cherd and Lanna, everyone thought Yod who had leaked it but she wasn't the culprit which made Cherd's mother dying from heart attack and Yod lost her baby after Cherd pushing her at the funeral of Cherd's mother when Yod wanted to do the duty of condolence.

Chan's will to regain Yod after her father shot him, I liked it the most and Buret who faced his parents to prove his love for Cherd and keeping her besides him...

I didn't like the end that much if not I wanted to make a higher rating but I was satisfied as the couples I wanted to ended with each others was happened.

I binge watched within 2 days after drooping it but it can be shorter though it was an acceptable drama as the characters was happy in the end.

A great story to know during a drama slump

This show is nothing special but deserve to be continued to the end after a great moment of last drama watched.
If you like the genre drama of pursuing dreams, coach/trainee relationship and nice leads supporting each others then it is the one.
I think the story carry some of social issues about how one living in poverty, overcoming all the difficulties to reach his goal is the best I have seen embodied in this show.
Being bullied is such a terrible feeling in one wanting to prove his skills to be a great runner with the help of the one who is supporting from her deep heart but carrying a deep secret about her illness.
The male lead is so impressed by the achievements of female lead and want to continue running with no boundaries to the end.
Reaching the goal as a great runner in marathon what I the most like about it but THE END was a bit disappointing for me, rather I would like to give it a more valuable rating.
Though the end can be in another way written, overall is not bad and greatly filmed and acted.
Note: The difference in the length of leads is not that defective but make it interesting in opposition of what other dramas used to have.

Faith and love in naga world make everything possible for lovers!!!

This story of the naga legend is totally something new and different as the interspecies romance subject and has not the steretype of conventional thailand dramas of violence with slap and kiss that almost all lakorns are known to be like that.

I watched this show because I watched once "krachao seeda" for the female lead and she was better back then but did not succeed too much in this drama in my opinion.

Too much fantasy but not bad at all, the battle of two nagas with magical red and blue colors had stolen the show in few episodes was super well excecuted, this is something unpreceneted in thailand lakorns that I did like it a lot and how they excelled to add the fantasy elements of superpower that the two main naga brother had and how they transform from human being to a giant big flying snakes was super exciting and amazing in addition how the naga's masters control the mind and movements of people and hearing the prayers of everybody was greatly done as half human/half snake creatures.

If talking about the acting Asia was average and should give more feelings for every scene she was acting, otherwise Anantachai the master of naga legend is the most excellent one that he should take the main title of the drama based on his convincing performance as he was so adequately playing his gaze full of love and care for Asia, he is the loyal and the one sacrifying his life for the sake of Anachalee his first and only love that he was waiting for her in every new life to recognize his love and to accept him besides her as he was affraid she would reject him cause Asia is rational and didn't believe in naga existence, he is always ready to help and save her from all dangers surrounding her at any moment.

Anekchat is the devil and abominable other second master of naga legend who is doing all he can from the old era to the present time all over thousand years just to separate the lovers from each other, he did so many crimes as he is the selfish for the acquisition of Asia to compete against his brother Anantachai to steal his love of life and to be the naga king, was a great choice of actor.

Sowanee the servent of Anekchat complied with him for the purpose of winning Anantachai her unrequited love, Asia was her rival and she was wronged by being so neglected by Anantachai but she really deserved this at the first but I didn't like the fact they made her disappear once Anekchat take over all her naga's power cause she saved her only love from the lash of Anekchat, though Anantachai healed her wounds but wasn't enough to survive from the hands of culprit.

The other cast in support characters from the villains who helped Anekchat to complete his evil plans to the doctors and sick childrens were wonderfully added

What I didn't like at all why they made the assistants/servents of nagas disappear as they sacrifice just for the sake of their masters and they put them a spacegoat while Asia was in many dangerous situations and Nuput the friend of Asia was super annoying that he could be less affected by Asia and just the loyal friend to help her not more than that as he is always standing between Asia and Anantachai, not bad as he is in kove triangle but he overcared about Asia knowing she willnot be for him at all!!!

The end is satisfying for me as when thinking that Anantachai will not be reborn as human to eliminate the curse of Asia, as he was cinsidered comitting a sin when getting rid of his rival brother but was a great surprise how the love and faith of Asia revive him for another chance to live together for him being a human not a naga cause he suffered so badly not being able to face Asia at the beginning for his identity as he is not a human but he succeed at the end to make her loving him back as he saved her countless times.

Flaws talking: the show could have been shorter by more episodes because it was boring in some places and I skipped so many times in episodes 17 and 18, at the other hand the romance was added in so unnecessary scenes regarding the male lead is "obviously mad in love with his ever one and only female lead is very understood for all watchers" so it made the show more longer than needed and I wonder how they consider at MDL the show is for all ages but I highly recommend this show as it is a new unprecented idea and hope to see something worthy like this drama.

If Asia couldn't eliminate her curse in order to make Anantachai be reborn as human not naga creature and she didn't end up with Anantachai I would have rated this less than 8 as they make to the final moment thinking it is impossible for Anantachai to be reincarnate as human being but the faith and love of Asia and all the naga people make him reappear as a decent human being!!!!

It could have been better if shorter with more summarzing plot

The drama overall was not bad but too long with so many unnecessary scenes that if it was removed could have made the series more worth watchable.

The life of a married female lead who got cheated by her husband and ended divorced, is not the first tackled in this drama but what made it lighter and not provocative the character of husband who wasn't the party who cause the cheating, it is just his first love the second female lead who was so abominable but give up after she realized he couldn't forget the first female after divorce.

The first half of drama was so dull but more funny than the second part which made a little more worthy by being more serious.

The second male lead seems the eccentric and reckless person but when he meet the female lead and known her more closely at work by being in the same team, he did changed in another person holding onto to making especially when he was the first who catch the FML and SFL cheating on the FFL, wanting to protect her from more being hurting.

What give the drama the value that the SML was rejected several times by FFL and not giving up her though his position being as a director was shaken when the rumors spread in the company what made the FFL being fired make the SML holding into her more tightly.

The SML was so pathetic and weak character regarding being raised without his sick mother and being lonely not in a good relationship with his half brother and father but make you symathize with him doing a good job in acting always needing the FFL by his side.

The FFL going back and forth in her relationship with SML was infuriating but reasonable due pression from all the surroundings who were against them making her escaping at each bumping into each others.

I think when they made them separated as the FFL will be remarrying the FML but not working well and making the SML give up her but knowing lately that didn't happen, rushing to retrieve her back is the most exciting part as the fair end.
What the more rational that other leads had been together as the SFL had a crush in FML for several years.

The chemistry between leads is not bad but the story overall could have been more shorter and about 16 episodes as more usual korean drama are would be the best and earning more score overall points.
