Perfect for newcomers to Thai Lakorn!
Your typical cruel male lead that falls in love with a girl he keeps abusing.The male lead, Seit, is a rich business person that got his heart broken and lied to by his wife. This is the beginning cause of episodes of abusing the female lead, Kate. Kate is forced to stay with Seit because her father is in debt to Seit due to gambling.
This show hits hard. You have the innocent Kate who have no free will. Toss aside like she is nothing by her father but the show makes it clear that his father did so because he loves her. That's really a shitty reason. We then get our heart stabbed by all the mistreatment sshe goes thru. But in bewteen it, we see love bloom. We slowly get to know more about Seit and why he cannot trust women. We come to understand that he really is a nice person. The things he would do to save Kate.
Ultimately, this show is about how women are treated like a tool and how love can change a man. One of the ost, "Mai Chai Dork Mai Rim Tarng" or Not a flower by the side of the road, fits in exactly in thistory.
I highly suggest this drama to FIRST TIMERS! OST describes the show really well, acting is decent, and the show tugs at your heart!
COWABUNGA stamp!

Memory loss and a splendid love song
This show is lovely. Two people separated due to memory loss and guilt are brought back together because of fate and a love song. We are first introduced to how they fell in love and separated then follow them falling in love all over again as adults. It makes you wonder about the what ifs with your first love. It's nostalgic as heck.What I really liked about the show was how well it is molded around the song it is based off of, "First Love." Harumichi is a also a smoker. Yae also talks about the taste when they first kiss. Though they go their own separate paths, they learned love from each other and they'll always be the one for each other. Then the build up to her regaining her memories. You know it's gonna come and when it does, you'll tear up due to happiness. Yes, happiness, not sadness. You just know they'll find each other. That's because the show made you cheer them on from the beginning.
Honestly, I do think this show would've been better with just Yagi and Kido, the actor and actress for the young version of Harumichi and Yae. The chemistry between the 2 are so much better than Satoh and Mitsushima. Almost felt like that had more screen time as well.The personality between the younger and older are vastly different that they seem like different people to me. But I guess that's what life does people. People change but love will never do.

Fun, emotional rollercoster ride, historical landmarks, and boring side story
Do you like time travel? How about soul swapping? And reincarnation? Wanna learn about Thai culture and historical places? Then this show is for you.Quick Summary:
Kadesurang is an archeology student. Karakade is an evil noblewoman in boran Thailand. Kadesurang travels back in time into Karakade body due to a magic spell. It's technically a one sided soul swap. Intinally, the perople around her doesn't know this and are scared of her. Main Lean, Muen Suntorndewa, mistreats her without knowing she is actually innocent Kadesurang.
What I liked:
God, where to start. This show is awesome. What really pulls you in is Bella's acting. One min she is the evil Karakade, screaming and mistreating people. It makes you really hate her. Next, she is a nice, soft spoken Kadesurang who gets all the hate. You just feel bad for her. Then you have the relationship between her and her two maids. Kadesurang treats them like sisters and you really feel that! Makes you wish you'll have sisters as well! You really feel the love coming out of the tv into your heart.
The ost. How can you not? It fits so well in. Also the instrumentals are so sad. Probably the best ost ever. Makes you cry like a baby! I swear haha.
What I disliked:
The male lead, Suntorndewa doesn't have a big role. Like he does but at the same time it feels like he doesn't. Don't know what else to say lol. Next, the story about the palace and the betray of the kingdom was kinda boring and dragged on for way too long. Only reason I'm not re watching is this drama series is WAY TOO LONG. It could've been 10-15 episodes shorter. These other sides stories were unnecessary.
Regardless, this drama deserves my MASTERPIECE & MUST WATCH BEFORE YOU DIE stamps!

Inconsistent power levels, boring story
Rating: DODGE!I decided to watch this show because people said it was good.... God were they wrong. This show is an OVERRATED show.
The show started out good but then the story went no where. The main character, Hu Fei, story is trash. The blind guy, Miao Ren Feng (MRF), story was much better. This show should've just focused strictly on him. Though the fight scenes were good, there comes a point where you feel like you've seen the fight scene before. That's because all the fight scenes have the same energy and similar choreograph. Then what bothered me the most was how Hu Fei keeps getting stronger out of no where. He barely trained using the marital art script he had. Yet this noob of a martial artist was able to beat a master. But there are other fights in the show where he loses to people who are much weaker. Finally, dumb, dumb decisions throughout the show. ugh. ABSOLUTELY A WASTE OF TIME. DON'T BOTHER WATCHING THIS SHOW. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
Here are some of the notes I jotted down while watching the show. Please excuse the grammar and weird sentences. They are all thoughts:
Ep 1-3 Fei beat a maritail aritist at 13 years old with little to no experience...
15-17 episodes of the story of the Fengs, which was boring af. Had nothing to do with the main story.... Ziyi and hu fei romance was nice....
Ling Su doesn't get enough screen time, not enough development between Hu Fei and her.
Hu Fei can all of a sudden imagine and learn marital arts just be seeing it and by words alone. No explanation whatsoever.
Ep 27-35 was the Capital Arc and it was BORING.
Ep 37 How the hell does Hu Fei know how to use all kinds of weapons when he was not trained in them?
Ep 39 Hu Fei can learn martial arts just by seeing it but got his ass kicked by a weak marital artist. wtf.
