My Romance Scammer (2026)

Nothing exciting...

Unenthusiatically I brought this show to an end. Of course when it's GMMTV and "P'New" directing I expect nothing special, but that script pissed me off since the beginning. They made it so that "Yu" was planning on everything and it's so very unbelievable. They could have cut that out. The main point was that "North" offered money for a marriage on his whim and that would have been good enough. As it's typical with GMMTV and P'New one must play as "childish" as possible. If someone behaves like that I would say, he is not mature enough even to consider marrying anyone.

Tim & Pai had a better start, but even from episode 1 it was very obvious, that Tim already fell for Pai. So as usual the script was very superficial, the characters were not really thought out and of course we have a very strict grandpa. Then comes the marriage of Tim & Pai in the mall and of course all the woman Tim scammed are there - because no, it could have not been a closed event and everyone can come in. Cutting his grandchilds off the family fortune was predictable as it was not really interesting. Instead of letting them figure something out for themselves they had to go back to grandpa and dance to his fiddle.

Just because I'm not disappointed from a show I never expected anything from does not mean it was any good. I can't fault the actors, they did all their best, but the script really did put them into a straitjacket and there is not much wiggle room to let the actors shine. At least we see Ohm in a role were smiling is an option :) Production quality was very high and there is nothing to complain about that.

For me it was quite boring, especially the finale was nothing to write home about and generally this is not a show you need to see. It's not even entertaining most of the time.

Here we go again....

Unfortunately this series also follows the same line of most GMM shows. I wanted it to be good, the story had potential. It's like one of those early 2000 rom-coms, light-hearted, unhealthy but charming.

Now that it's over, my opinion still remains the same. The things that happened to Pai was embarrassing and super traumatic, but it's just tossed aside & trivialised for cute moments between the couple. No serious consequences whatsoever, no real human being is that much of a saint. Obvious lazy writing & bad direction. It's like they want to finish this as soon as possible & get started on the next project.

Everything is super unrealistic, it borders on annoying. Everyone looks like they are about to go to a photoshoot, even while sleeping. Too polished and artificial. It's like looking pretty is the primary objective. I think there is a fatigue of these kinds of shows. There is a need for something raw & grounded.
The leads have chemistry & it's entertaining, that's about it. A light-hearted watch, yes but I wish there were more compelling stories & performances.
