Overall a nice series, I have questions tho ?
I think this is a 8/10 for me. I have questions tho.# So was Tim sleeping with all that woman that ended up crashing his wedding party?
# The younger cousin, why was he in the series, is he a special needs kid? Why does his mom baby him like that and even when he was staying by Pai, why the heck did Tim have to walk him to the bathroom to shower. That was just weird. He is not 5.
# Did I read it wrong in the beginning thinking that aunt is evil and up to no good.?
# What was up with Pai's hair...it looked too full at times, like a curtain or something, it looked too "big".
# Anyone else find it disrespectful that the grandpa outed Tim to his parents about being a scammer? I didnt like him much, he seems arrogant and a dickhead.

Scammed Out of Both Mark and Junior for Myself!?
This was very wholesome by the end of it. It was very messy, very questionable if I would forgive either of these scamming men even after they were on their knees begging for me back. Either way I enjoyed it! This is what I mean by some toxicity to move the plot along is alright sometimes! I really did end up loving both couples, I originally watched though because I wanted more Junior & Mark. I really like them both and if neither gonna end up with me its gonna be with each other LOL!Was this review helpful to you?
Loved It!
I found the basic idea very cute and somewhat comical.I've actually been following JuniorMakr for a while (specifically since P10l), but I've only just started following OhmPoon, and I have to say I really liked them!
If I had to choose, I think I preferred TimPai's story a little more, I found it very mature in a certain sense
A light and fun series that also handled delicate themes very well.
I found the ending coherent and right for the story... and the songs were also quite catchy. I recommend giving the series a try; you won't be disappointed.

If you give it a chance you'll enjoy the show.
A totally worth while drama to watch,i binge watched 11 episodes at a go and in a few days watched the last episode.Mark and Junior are an adorable pair, because i did not watch P10L and dropped Revamp.I did not have much to say about them in terms of acting but they really did well in this project.Mark projected his emotions so well in the scene where the wedding hall was a mess,i pitied him very much.I do hope they get to star in more projects because they are amazing actors their jokes landed and their reactions to situations was hilarious,Mark's reaction to the gecko situation was hilarious and Junior's reaction while pumping the balloon when he heard Kuea was coming with North cracked me up.It had been a while since i watched Ohm acting, after Between us i tried watching 369 but dropped it and wasn't keen on his projects.As for Poon we can see his growth he is kinda mature-ish and still got the mischievous vibe with him.I got the feeling he was leading Ohm in most of the scenes and was comfortable with him despite them being somewhat a new pairing.The wardrobe/costume for the main leads was AMAZING, their first wedding outfit was top tier.The locations were amazing too... Also is it because I watched it in a streaming site that i missed the ads that are normally shown in the YouTube episodes because i wondered where the 'usual' sponsors were from Lactosay,canon,the tea drink and cake there wasn't any food or drink sponsors in the scenes,why was that?

everything would've been better if timpai is in drama instead of romcom....
i honestly wanted to rate it higher than an 8 because i really love the theme, and the chemistry between the actors is so good. they had me invested from the start. but tim’s redemption arc just didn’t hit for me. when we as viewers already know how deeply pai loved him, it felt weird how lightly the story handled pai being scammed by the person he loved most. that kind of pain should’ve hit harder.i think the main problem is this couple just doesn’t fit a romcom setup. they needed more angst, more drama, more time to really unpack the hurt and healing. instead, everything moved too fast because the show wanted to keep things light, and it made some important moments feel shallow.
unorth, on the other hand, fit the romcom vibe perfectly. even though u is a scammer too, north was the one chasing him first, wanting to marry him first, wanting him first. so it’s easy to root for them from the beginning. and they’re CUTE AF 😭 every time their scenes came on, i was smiling and blushing like crazy.
acting wise, mark impressed me. he has that thing where you can feel what the character feels without him needing to overdo it. he makes emotions land naturally. junior was decent, but i wanted more nuance. scammer tim and real tim felt too similar. i wanted clearer shifts in expression, energy, the way he looks at pai. make me see the difference between the lie and the real feelings.
the writing for the background characters was also lacking. the parents barely existed, and i kept wondering why pai seemed closer to his grandpa than his own family with no deeper explanation. tim’s family issues were solved way too quickly in one ep, and da zhan was kinda just there without much purpose.
so yeah, the story definitely has holes. but at the same time, it gave me feelings, and that’s why i still enjoyed it. the chemistry, the cute moments, the emotional pull all worked on me. but if i’m being honest, that 8/10 is me being nice because the writing alone wouldn’t get that score.

“A Romance Built on Lies… That Feels Real”
My Romance scammer is actually very interesting in its own way, especially if you like something a little messy and different.When I started this drama, I was really excited because finally I get to watch something where Junior and Mark are the main characters 🤍 And honestly, they did not disappoint. Their chemistry and the way their story developed made it easy to stay interested.
The story itself starts with two scammers, Tim and Yu, who enter relationships for money. But as everything goes on, feelings start getting real, and that’s where the problem begins 😭 What was supposed to be just a plan slowly turns into something emotional, and everything becomes complicated.
I also really enjoyed Yu and North’s side because their story feels more chaotic and funny, but at the same time, it still has its emotional moments. North especially is just unpredictable, and it makes their scenes fun to watch 😂 And from what I saw, Poon really fits his role well, which made it even better.
One thing I liked is that the drama doesn’t feel too heavy, but it still gives enough emotional tension to keep you watching. It mixes romance, trust issues, family pressure, and a bit of chaos in a way that keeps things interesting.
Overall, it’s not a perfect drama, but it’s definitely entertaining. It’s messy, a little dramatic, sometimes funny, and at times surprisingly emotional 💔
Short take: they came to scam… but ended up catching feelings 😭

A lighthearted romantic comedy- True to it's concept
If you are looking for a light hearted romantic comedy that's easy to watch, this is the one for you. It has got some really cute romantic scenes, not cringe, full of comedy and a touch of emotional burdens of the characters.I might be the only one who really loved the plot. Was it perfect? No. Was it thrilling? Kinda. But it made me stick till the end. This is my first time watching a romantic comedy with a plot like this and I really loved every bit of it. The comedy was never exaggerated. The romantic scenes truly felt domestic, like peaking into the life of two couples. The story progressed well in my opinion. It never felt fully flat. The character might look like they just showed their surface level personalities, but as we went through, we got to have the deep dive for each of them as they un-winded their emotional struggles. That made them felt more seen and relatable.
The direction, considering the director's previous work, was much more enjoyable. I actually was craving for each episode because. I really loved how the screen writer and director managed to find balance between the two couple's focus times which led to perfect flow of story progressions. That's why each episode was interesting to watch. I really loved the color grading that added a new dimension to the series. Special mention to Mark's stylist for giving him one of his best looks yet.
Honestly, I knew entire cast before MRS but I felt like I discovered all of these talented actors again. Mark really truly embodied his role as Pai. In every scene I could feel the facade of a tough person, always craving to be embraced with a little love. Junior, oh boy, he is such a fantastic actor because how do you play the same character with completely two different personalities? Tim before he got exposed vs after had so many minor changes that Ju nailed. Poon really flourished in this. Honestly he has always been good but in this he truly got to showcase his skill of subtle acting and facial expressions. It's been a while since seeing Ohm in a lead role and he absolutely slayed it. Those moments of helplessness with wide eyes searching for trust, I wanted to hug him so bad. Louis did an awesome job with his role. Kapook, even with so little screen time made sure she portrays that hypertension lady well. Title, Mond, Aun, Save with their random cameo made it more fun.
I loved every moment of the drama. It was not really something that would make full sense but the amazing chemistry and the wonderful cinematography with scenes filled with so much of laughter made it worth watching.

At first, I was really into it. Tim was so much a manipulator that I even forgot he was not totally sincere... They were really cute and I did enjoy the first part.
But as soon as the truth was told, I don't know.. Maybe I wish it was more angsty.. It was not that great..
I'm disappoint because It wasn't bad, just half of the drama is not that good..

Junior Mark ate as usual
I honestly don't get why so many people dislike this series. My Romance Scammer has been like a breath of fresh air for me. Junior Mark have done a phenomenal job and especially Mark, I just love him as Pai. P10L made Junior Mark a memorable duo and I love that MRS does the same. Junior absolutely slays the chaotic, funny character in both the series and Mark being the stoic, stren one in My Romance Scammer is great. Honestly can't see anyone else playing the role of Pai as good as Mark. Also, can't forget to mention Ohmpoon. Their story was chaotic from the beginning and I loved every second of it. Definitely a must watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Not very inventive
The premise is interesting, no one can deny that. The problem is that you know from the start exactly what’s going to happen and how. Zero creativity, and everything is delivered in the tone of a very conventional, formulaic romantic comedy. You’d expect Pai to be less nice to Tim; and North’s immaturity eventually becomes hard to stomach. The acting is fairly decent overall, except for Ohm, who doesn’t seem to believe in what he’s doing at all.Once again, the goal is to highlight two actor pairings that will probably deliver great fan service afterward. But as for the series itself, it’s too soft, too flat, not deep enough. You end up yawning while watching their little stories that are bound to end well. I honestly wonder how I made it through 10 episodes.

the way this could have been amazing
i remember when i first started this show i was excited. the first eps were actually good, both couples have great chemistry and the acting is good as well but unfortunately the execution of the plot wasn’t well done imo. it’s one of those shows that starts strong then suddenly takes a different direction and you start wondering why.the plot execution is really important, and after ep 7 (Tim’s revelation about the lies and deception) which was supposed to be the peak ep but it didn't, it just didn’t feel like one. they were building it up for many eps but the payoff felt weak. i get that it’s a romcom, but that doesn’t excuse bad writing. serious situations are better when treated seriously. the audience didn’t really get the right amount of angst, and real problems were treated almost like a joke.
Pai has been struggling to even stay mad, and Tim doesn’t seem properly apologetic. lines like “don’t worry i won’t charge you for the meal” or “you’re living in my place for free” just feel off after what he has done… like are we supposed to find that charming? then i check more ep and Pai isn’t as upset as he should be after being betrayed for years, and Tim doesn’t seem as sorry as he should. it's getting brushed off with playful moments instead.
i could honestly rant a lot about how this could have been better based on what Tim and Pai characters could have done. but good for people who enjoyed it. i do love the cast and hope to see them in better directed series in the future. maybe not by New

Hooked on The Scammers
The moment I saw Junior and Mark as leads, I knew this was gonna be good in all aspects because they CARRIED in Perfect 10 Liners. They are such natural and talented actors. I also love that we now have the new ship OhmPoon, a random and unexpected pair that formed after Poon Mitpakdee replaced Fluke Jeeratch. As much as they are visually appealing, let's just protect them at all costs.Moving on to My Romance Scammer, a series about two con artists, U and Tim, falling in love with cousins North and Pai from a billionaire family. The first episode was great; I hope it sets the epitome for the remaining episodes to follow.
However, as much as I enjoyed this premiere, I'm worried about the director, New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul. He's known for works like Perfect 10 Liners and Head 2 Head, and usually, when a series reaches the halfway mark, his direction tends to lose steam. Whether it's pacing issues or repetitive tropes, many fans feel his shows often start strong but struggle to maintain that same energy. I truly hope he improves on this one and has learned from past mistakes so that the chemistry of JuniorMark and OhmPoon isn't wasted on a dragging plot.
