STORY: Gorgeous. Slow-paced, but in a good way. Far better than the Korean version, which I enjoyed, but really pales in comparison to this one.
The storyline mostly follows the Korean drama's with some wonderful additions that really made this drama go above and beyond. In the Thai version, both Aom-Am and Mike have unfulfilled dreams. They yearn for someone to believe in them, and for companionship (secretly). As the story progresses, a beautiful love story is woven. Viewers fall in love with Aom-Am as Mike does, and vice versa. They are portrayed as a couple who really bring out the best in each other.
I wanted the nang rai to die a very painful death. Jane just honed in on all the hatred she could get from viewers to make her character as horrible as possible, and succeeded. I started calling her MinTrash. I was glad, however, that the nang rai followed none of the lakorn stereotypes. She was simply a flawed, weak person who wanted to be loved; she wasn't a crazy evil person who's so bad you forget what set them off in the first place.
The writing is simply gorgeous, lacking in absolutely nothing. The story unfolds and is completely unforced. And best of all, absolutely NO cheesy lakorn cliches. The one flaw I found in the story was when they agreed to try to make each other fall in love, and then never mentioned it again until ep 17/18.
ACTING: Mike is wonderful. I can't even describe it. He portrays every emotion of Mike's, including the happy and the sad and the angry. Aom is absolutely adorable. In her other lakorns she was okay, but in this, she makes the role of Aom-Am totally believable. Guy's acting is respectable, not amazing. I mostly watched him for his English, anyway. Jane really knows how to play bad...
MUSIC: Gorgeous in every way. Repetitive, but I could listen to "Oh Baby I" on a 24-hour loop for weeks on end and still not get tired of it.
REWATCH VALUE: In two years, I've already rewatched it four times. It's so beautiful and original, the story will never get old.
By far one of the best lakorns I've ever seen. It needs to be dubbed into English so people here can watch it and understand the magnificence. If you haven't watched it yet, you're missing out.

FAVOURITE COUPLE ON SCREEN! Instant classic!
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ROM-COM LAKORNS EVER!I have seen the Korean version before hand,
and this was my first Thai Drama.
The story is based on the same original Korean version of Full house.
This blew the original out of the water! IMO
This Drama is So much better and improved
version of the Korean Drama Full House.
This might not be a perfect drama to many!
The story is easy to follow, considering it has been done before,
but in this version there were some changes.
What I loved about the story is how it flowed and lead to the ending,
the ending was so satisfying to me regardless of the small drag it had.
One of the only romance drama that gave me more of a romantic closure than other drams.
The chemistry between the two leads is off the chart,
made it so believable that they are actually in love.
Best couple I have seen on screen. IMO
Their interaction is heartwarming and that's the reason I loved it so much.
The scene on the bridge with the ice cream was romantic!
The acting was awesome. The main song from this drama is great,
I loved that the 2 leads are singing that song. I have already rewatched this drama,
so definitely will be watching again and again. This Drama does have flaws,
yet it was Perfect to me out of its enjoyment I had.
The Romance is the Main focus of this Drama!
And the romance is so believable in this Drama.
The Comedy in this Drama was really well done also.
Hence this became my favourite Rom-Com.
Its like a Guilty Pleasure!
Give this one a try. Especially if you liked the Korean version of Full House.
I can't wait for more future works of Aom and Mike.
Thank you for reading my first review ever! :)

The main female protagonist, Aom-am, has to put up with a lot of betrayal in this drama – and especially horrible is the one from her own sister. Yet, she continually forgives everyone. And she is a very strong individual yet still sensitive. The main male protagonist, Mike, seems like a jerk from the get-go and puts the female protagonist in a difficult situation because he is impulsive and childish. However, he seems to grow up a bit, Aom-am inspiring him to be a better person. The second male lead, Guy, is a really nice guy (haha, pun) and Aom-am meets him quite early on (before she meets Mike, I think), but while he was a much better choice rationally, I didn’t really ship him with her.
Mintra tries to steal Mike away from Aom-am, and is a really annoying character, in my opinion. I think Mintra seriously needs to grow up and stop being selfish.Aom-am’s sister and brother-in-law are seriously horrible relatives, the way I see it – they appear to be nice and innocent but they take advantage of Aom-am’s kindness in order to achieve their own goals. They don’t think about Aom-am, always expecting her to help them and forgive them.
Mike’s grandma is quite a character. She’s quirky but also quite clever and devious.
The OTP (One True Pairing):
In my opinion, Mike D’Angelo (Mike) and Manaying Sushar (Aom-am) seem to have great chemistry in real life and this made for such an incredibly believable couple in this drama. It was ‘hate at first sight’ for their characters, Mike and Aom-am, though. But along with all the drama that comes with…well…a drama, there were hilarious moments between the lead characters as they tried to get along in each others’ company, and some sweet moments as they began to fall for each other – and the whole journey was actually quite believable for a quite unlikely real-life scenario.
Plot:
The first three episodes or so were rather slow, in my opinion. Mostly, apart from setting up the main story, it was scenes of Aom-am sightseeing Korea. While the leading characters do meet in the first or second episode, they really only properly meet and have a real conversation in a couple more episodes after that. For someone like me who pretty much just wants to see the leading couple’s story start as soon as possible (because to me they are the most important part of the drama) it was a bit slow.
But I’m so glad that I stuck with it, because out of it came such a touching, sweet and sad love story. The ending was absolutely perfect and so sweet, in my opinion, and it tied up any loose ends.
Themes and Messages:
There aren’t really any solid ones that stand out in this drama, I think. I suppose the idea of forgiveness is heavily featured throughout, though – poor Aom-am is wronged often, and she does a heck of a lot of forgiving.
My Verdict:
I definitely recommend this Thai drama – this is quite a rich one in terms of plot and character. And the phenomenal acting is truly a beautiful thing to watch.

The shipping of the two leads is so real in this drama that it's crazy. They're both really cute and the scenes make you cry sometimes but they definitely leave a fuzzy feeling. I recommend this for cutesy romance lovers. :) Worth a rewatch as well!

Good Remake
I watch the series Kiss Me of the FL and ML. I think this is the 1st series they teamed up. I love to watch remakes, and I didn't watch the original Full House (Korean) instead I read the synopsis of it. I also watch the Chinese Version of Full House (Midsummer is full of love). I love the chinese version in a way that it is simple and kinda cute. I just don't like the singing part of the ML because I think it's lip sync but well portrayed. In this remake, i love the chemistry of the two, i just love the hair style of the FL. she is much cuter and the ML portrayed well. Love the fact that the ML at the end became sweeter. It's a good remake. I watch this series this past few days, and I noticed that, they gave a twist in their remakes which kinda different from the others, which is also good because they can make it a good ending after. They don't follow the original one, they change it especially in the mind part and didn't lose the real concept of it. TWIST.. loved it!Must watch?? YES

I don't like Thai drama full house.I prefer the Korean version of the full house. the female actor is not beautiful, does not match the handsome angelo mike.
in my opinion, i would rather Mike Angelo with Zhang Yuxi in the drama my little princess because Mike Angelo is handsome and Zhang Yuxi is also beautiful, the couple is very harmonious, I like Mike with Zhang Yuxi.
If Aom is more suitable with Tina Suppand, they are more suitable and harmonious.
I hope Mike can date the Zhang Yuxi like Lin Xing Chen and Jian Nian Yu in my Little Princess drama.
mike?zhang yuxi
????My little princess drama

Ridicolous Plot
Are you a highschool girl at age or in your heart? Do you find two-timing excuseable if you are not quite sure about your own feelings yet? Then go and watch this now! After you gained a little bit of live and love experience it could spoil his show for you. The main storyline is just ridiculous. What, you really want to keep your promises with a selfish person, so you have no other choice than to break the promises you have made with the person who cares for you? What kind of logic is that? Plotwise, this was the worst Romcom I have ever watched. But: I really liked the beautiful (touristic) filming locations in Korea you get to see.Was this review helpful to you?
But I like the casts, they pulled it off well.

Before starting the review, it is important to remember that I never saw the original version, so I can't compare one drama with another. What I can say is that I absolutely loved this drama and that I intend to see the 2004 version and re-watch my newest favorite lakorn.One of the facts that pleased me the most is how strong, decisive and responsive the protagonist is when she treats her badly, not accepting to be stepped on, or that he says that his dream of becoming a screenwriter will not become reality, Mike's character is not left behind I also really liked his development, except for some parts where he was extremely childish and stupid, ending up breaking the protagonist's notebook TWICE, but I only liked it because he really apologized and bought another one, different from other dramas I've seen, you can see that he really regrets it.
Another thing is also how the protagonists had a good development in their friendship before leaving directly for the romance, the two main actors helped a lot with their performances, because you could see the chemistry between the two and honestly it is very cute to see him calling her shorty, but not that thing that was really done to offend.
Another thing that I loved so much was the secondary characters, as there is no bad villain who wants to end the protagonists' romance, certain that in some parts the girl (I forgot her name, sorry) ended up irritating me in some moments, but it's normal, nobody is perfect. I also really liked P´Guy, Grandma and even her sister and her boyfriend, except for some problems.
As for the negative aspects, it was like the plot of Oam Am and her sister was simply developed and quickly forgotten, your own sister deceived you, sent you to another place without money, sold the house that was from your father and just disappears, no answering the calls, but when she shows up to help you just simple forgive and forget? I understand that the protagonist no longer has any family member to rely on, only her sister, but even so what she did was of a very low and wrong level. The other thing is that they also did not develop the protagonist's plot about his sister who died of cancer and because he blames his own father in this regard, they will only explain in the end practically and it was all very fast. Apart from these and some other facts, the drama was very good and very fun to watch.

Bien meilleure que la version coréenne !!
Je l'ai regardée car j'avais bien aimé la version coréenne de 2004 avec Rain, et que j'aime beaucoup Mike Angelo.Je ne l'ai pas regretté car cette story thaï, qui revisite la version (originale) coréenne, mais en l'adaptant, est beaucoup plus réaliste et plus actuelle ...
L'ensemble du casting est très bon, et on voit enfin des acteurs qui parlent un fluent english :)
Les personnages secondaires sont bien développés, détaillés. Il n'y a pas trop de twist et de "great villain", juste une amie d'enfance manipulatrice et auto-centrée (ce qui arrive aussi dans la vraie vie :( )
Le couple lead est génial (aussi bien Mike Angelo que Aom Sushar Manaying) et l'alchimie est palpable. Ils sont vraiment cute tous les 2, hormis les (trop) longs moments où j'avais envie de secouer le ML pour ses hésitations et son indécision...
Les OST sont excellentes aussi, et particulièrement la chanson titre.
Petite remarque amusée : Ce drama est une vraie glorification du tourisme en Corée (on peut y voir les principaux sites à visiter à Séoul). Il est assez rare qu'autant de passages d'une série soit tournés à l'étranger.
