A horrible mom makes for an interesting show
After the disaster that was Only You I couldn’t even make it past episode 1 In Love Forever was actually a really pleasant surprise. I found the series genuinely interesting because of the topics it explores: the control and manipulation of toxic parents, the responsibility children can feel toward their parents, and how a married couple deals with the struggles within their marriage.
Runch and Neen’s relationship… Honestly, what they go through is so unfair. You know they deeply love each other, but they can’t even live their relationship peacefully because Runch’s mother is completely insane and extremely controlling. And when you finally find out the reasons behind her behavior… it’s absolutely ridiculous.
But let’s talk about THE standout character of this series: Kingkamol. Yes, I hated her from beginning to end, but why is this woman so funny?! She was honestly the best entertainment in the entire show. THIS is what I call a proper drama villain: she is literally willing to do ANYTHING to stop her daughter from ending up with her love interest.
And Runch, my little cutie pie… I absolutely loved her character. She’s going through it from every possible direction: her mother is controlling, mean, and toxic, she gets bullied at work, and on top of that, everyone thinks she only got her job because her wife has a higher position than her. Seriously, being Runch is NOT easy. She deserved so much better.
Episode 11, though, is literally the worst episode of the entire series. Throughout the show, Neen is constantly suffering physically, and it all gets brushed aside like it’s nothing. That really frustrated me. And I especially hated that Kingkamol got a redemption arc after she literally destroyed her daughter’s marriage. Runch truly deserved better parents.
Thankfully, the ending satisfied me. I really wanted Runch to stop talking to her mother, AND I GOT EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.
Overall, I absolutely loved watching this series. I feel like I’m in the minority here, but honestly, it was such an entertaining lakorn. I had so much fun watching it, and I genuinely got attached to the characters.
