When I began watching this drama, I had gone in with reading only the synopsis (The old one, I changed it after I watched the drama) and I was absolutely terrified. Thankfully, although the story had a few weak points and the male character was aggressive, there were no rape scenes and the male character came to love the FL through her personality and perseverance.

Yes, the child of the ML was annoying, but that was mainly under the influence of the ML's dead wife's sister (Who is in love with the ML).

All in all, this is a lighter sort of watch that you should give a go without investing too much of your brain or emotion in. It won't cause you a lot of damage. :)

if you haven't seen it,you missed nothing.

This was somewhat of a torture. I know Thai drama never make sense but I slapped myself silly for watching it. the FL is not a sweet innocent girl...she's an idiot without common sense and her behavior makes no sense in Thailand or Zimbabwe.
The fighting scene are horrendous but that's normal in Thailand dramas......
and as usual we don't even get the satisfaction of the bad guy getting it since the usual " I'm sorry" erases everything even several attempted rape and murders........
Their life is in danger after murder attempts but ML in his 30s throw away the phone in a tantrum.......FL falls in the most obvious trap laid by the mean girl......she has time to argue about nothing but she can't open her mouth to say she was called to the hotel room (which opens W/o a key for some reason)by the witch....oh yeah ......and in the end she passes the arm holding the gun and jumps in front of it to protect ML of course........never occurs to her to push the gun away ...God forbids one of the bad guys get hit by the ricochet or something.
no one is that naive.......a 10 yr old would known better.....the story feels like a homeworkfone at the last minute to have something to present.

I won't go over the racist borderline "black face" grotesque character of the assistant because it's local culture I guess.
Being predictable is not a problem but they dragged it to death with each episode peppered with random credit and recap. This could have been wrapped up in 12 episodes. the best actor has to be the kid
The one positive that explains my 0.5 rating is that the ML is hot...but that about it

Not that bad...

...as the synopsis would make it sound (or at least the old synopsis, as you read Soju's review here, then the synopsis now really is different:)

I watched this to the end without fastforwarding through much, and that itself is an achievement. I was not annoyed with the kid. I liked all the servants on the farm. What I didn't care about at all was the second couple line.

Film is not as sexy here as he was in 'Mia Tuean' but this lakorn is NOT the same trashy genre, although it has some moments. In the end it was all about the heroine to become new mother to the kid and that was touching and nicely done (given the almost teenage looks of the leading actress, she really needed to do a good job to make her role believable). I skipped most of the action scenes and enjoyed this more like a mellow family drama. Not a re-watch material, but okay.
