This was pretty good

Alright lets get with the program :

Positives :

1. The couples

Both couples are beautiful and so non toxic I couldn't even believe it.
Even after he looses all if memories and is a little bit of a unkind person, its not as bad as other thai drama male leads.
Even though there is still one forced kiss which was one of the only things i was a little disappointed in.
He however does apologize for his inappropriate behavior later one. So I feel like while what he did wasn't ok, at least he knew that and owed up to it.
Both characters work well together and have a great understating of one another.
I also love that there wasn't this trope of getting with the second male lead ( well in this case would be the villain but ok ) to get back at the main male lead.

The second couple was my favorite tbh. I could just relate a little but more to them and the guy was more my type speaking form a personality standpoint.
I liked their interaction and it was a little childish sometimes ( the whole i a running away to seek attention ) but most of the times just super cute and a great team.

Both couples have great Chemistry so if you just wanna watch some real romantic stuff with some action. I do recooemd this one.


2. The locations

I am sorry but when i can vacation there.
It was super pretty.

3. The development and plot

No episode felt over done and the plot didnt get super drawn out.
I was a little worried since the main characters get together very quickly but it was very enjoyable nonetheless.
It has pretty good pacing.


The negatives ( dont be surprised if I write in a little more detail but with this show given the rating a I really enjoyed overall)


1. The villains

While I think the villains were pretty well done. I just had a hard time rooting against them.
Especially the second female lead.
Like this poor women got forced, raped and miscarried a child all under the threat of her life.
And even Korn he came from an abusive family and his mom really also had her own issues.
But he also did so many terrible things.....
While I loved that it all added dimensions to the villains it made it incredibly hard to watch them loose and in some cases die.

Also that he survived that fire was very unrealistic and i think it the only thing that felt really gimmicky in the show.

Also the thing I didnt quite enjoy is that they didnt really develop in terms of their plans.
Like straight at the start they wanted to murder. I wish they would have started with threats and would have slowly gotten worse. ( this is a true nitpick )

2. Ok the make up

This is really the only thing I really really disliked about the show.
Who in their right mind hired the artist who was in charge of the make up when the got hurt.
It didnt just look comical it was also super inconsistent.
Also i love how both the women and man are in the fight. Both take at least some hits.
Man - literally 5 bruises on his face ( that change even in the middle of a conversation )
Women - NOTHING !!!

Like at the start our male lead gets pretty hurt and his face is full of bruises.
These were done badly but ok.
But then the healing is so weird.
Sometimes its almost gone and then in the next shot his eyes will be again bright red.
I dont even wanna completely blame the make up artist because I do think the director and the editor should have pointed out on how inconsistent it is. Even to the point that you would notice if that they shot this scene twice on different days because the make up on the male was so different.
I dont think it would bother me so much but since there is a lot of action and a lot of people getting hurt, it does sometimes take you out.

Conclusion :
Over all a good romance and well done action and worth watching.
