It can only get better…
Not done but it can’t get worse as the best and cutest is already progressing. If you’ve watched S1, you’d probably be on the fence of quirky dorky or quirky fluffy. I mean the FL and her silliness? You love her or wanna shake some earthly sense into her. At the end though, all’s forgotten as the cuteness of the lead couple, Xiaoqi and Feng Leng is overpowering. Here in S1, I feel that Wen Peng has polished her acting and is doing a great job. I’m not so irritated like in S1 with her. This time around, she has revised her role to a maturity level that while continuing with the loads of tropes, she acts it marvelously. She has even turned up her comfort level in her relationship development with ML. If we hadn’t known it not to be true, you can almost match them up as a real couple. Yes, that’s how sizzling their relationship is.You might be frustrated with plot as it’s like a repeat of s1. I may have started out like that, but I’m finding that it’s okay. The deliverance of roles makes it seem like a much better version of S1 and I’m enjoying it so much I don’t mind it. This is a very fun, relaxing, sweet, memorable series if anyone is looking for something away from serious ones.
Oops, I was about to sign off but the supporting casts are just as cute. Yes, besides leads there’s two other couples that are so cute and fun too.

Blame writers/producers
I’m looking at the pictures of the cast and feel bad. However, nothing can make me go easy on this drama.People who watch Thai dramas will by now understand the flow. Common themes are excruciatingly extreme they become almost gothic sinister. You will just have to watch for yourself to understand. For this one though, I just feel like I need to speak out to warn. The actions of these characters makes you wonder of the sanity of the writers and producers. From parents, to siblings, it’s as though it’s a whole different level of human beings in a extraterrestrial society. They certainly belong in one because if these are the way people and society is in Thailand, maybe something needs to be done to cut them off from the rest of the world. Lol. Okay that might be very extreme but seriously, these people are total garbage.
There are so many plot holes even if you try to fill them you will continue to sink. One son is shown to hire hitmen to kill off siblings girlfriend and son. So many attempts are made and cops never show up. No one is ever interested to catch them, just fighting them off and let em scram. 🙄 Gosh this made me so mad. Yeah, totally lawless.
The abuse endured by female lead was unbearable. Of course she’s written as the heroic knee bender, the slap me, it’s my fault, common favorite female write ups. All the other characters schemed, plotted, slap n slap n slap some more n slap this poor woman because no fault of her own, two brothers liked her. Unrealistic and outright ridiculous that this was thought out.
Later episodes became a revolving same thing of misunderstandings that it just became a case of tears, and more tears of same nothing really.
Actresses played and displayed perfect facials for their characters…nasty, hateful, cunning. I do give this to these actresses especially in Thai dramas that they can play those roles really really really well. Ughh on the character.
I’m not gonna finish it. It’s sad I actually stayed that long (14 eps) but from where I leave off, I can guess they will be together at end. To endure all that. Endurance has its limits and mine gave up. I feel bad for actors but if these are as good as scripts they can find, alas, talents are wasted.
You be the judge. You might see it wholly different. If any description though above turns you off, it’s really bad..

Lucky stars counted
I’m not sure why I’ve put off watching this although I’ve come across it so many times. I count myself lucky because i finally did and totally enjoyed it. Here’s why:First, I’m a sop for romance and this story has a great one. So as not to spoil it for you, I just want to give brief highlights.
ML has endured the pain of guilt of something that happened which wasn’t his fault but nevertheless painful. FL is someone who desired to be a fashion designer but always felt she brought about bad luck. Their interactions weave a tale that may sound familiar in others you’ve read or watched. The pair that seemed to not get along journeyed on a path involving overcoming hurdles of self doubt, inner turmoil, but strong support for each other.
The cast. Jerry Yan. My goodness he’s a great actor. He has emotional scenes that you can’t help but be greatly affected because of his acting. He really gets into the role and his pain will probably be much more felt bc you can’t help but pity him as you practically feel his hurt. Yes he’s very handsome but I really enjoy his work to care about those things.
Shen Yue. I think this is my first drama watching her. She’s a budding good actress. I love her character, kind, considerate, fun, and devoted. She played her part well, nothing coy but just natural. I’m a new fan and her smile? Contagious.
Wei Zhe Ming. Now I do know this actor and one of my favorites. Though he was second lead, he was very much liked. His character was sort of sad but in the end, things worked out. Though it’s totally unfair to me not to list them all, every other cast members were great contributors to this made story. The parents of Shen Yues character were so wonderful. We all know and have seen real nasty selfish drama parents but here, in them at least, they showed how parents should be…kind, supportive. The friends of fl and their boyfriends were also so cute.
Note of warning. The common complaint from so many is the lack of clothes type worn by Jerry Lans character. Yeah, but so? Letting you know in advance if it’s gonna be a problem for you. To me, yes I noticed but I was too invested in the story itself not be a big deal. Whatever reason it was for lack, I’m sure it’s not actors fault. Or he’s like me, not caring how many times I wear something as long as I’m comfortable??
Second warning is age gap. I don’t know what it is that bothers people (of course they have right to their own) but the way these leads carried out their roles was nothing short of true love and adoration for each other. They were the perfect pair and no gap is in it except maybe In people’s twisted thinking. Let these two things not deter you. This is definitely worth the watch and spoiler…………..ending kiss to a happy couple. Oh yeah, NEVER FORGET, the ost, is so endearingly inserted throughout im humming it as i write. Thanks.

I like this a lot for Joseph Chang, the lead male. He’s cool, fearless, loving, hard worker, family oriented, and yes, very handsome. Two people with each personal agenda comes together never thinking of something greater than own inevitable ever lasting. It’s simple but the story weaves beautifully like how a good movie should…a thoughtful plot, plot lines, good acting, satisfying solution, lingering emotions at end, happy after. It’s enjoyable and it’s only because there’s so much to see I said I may not rewatch but if I need a feel good story at some point, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. I rate high for enjoyment.
