I was so happy to see your review. I also want to write one because I finished the series just yesterday and loved it. I originally discovered it because I enjoyed Jung Il Woo's star turn in 'Flower Boy Ramen Shop' (his character there could easily be the younger version of Choi Se Hoon) and wanted to see what else he's been in. This guy is a phenomenal comic actor! And you're right about Section Chief Heo, too. I've seen that actor in another series as well, and nobody does the frazzled sidekick bit better than he does.
In this series every character is NICE. Even the rival CEO's villainy is cartoonish and ultimately harmless. And I liked how there was that moment when the female trainees took the FL out of the studio to 'discipline' her as the newbie, only to end up being won over by her and becoming close friends instead. The series could easily have gone the bullying route and created unnecessary tension, but it turned out that the main purpose of the scene was to put the ML in another comical situation where he was all ready to rescue the FL, only to have his hopes dashed when he finally found her. So unexpected and so funny.
Those people who call the series cliche ..... Grrrr. The story can be called cliche only if you think an 'opposites attract' trope is cliche. Yes, it is a common trope, but the fun is always in seeing how a particular series pulls it off. This one does it perfectly.
The only thing I didn't like in all 20 episodes was that the ML never had to account for his flirtation with the woman at the launch party, or explain to the FL that he'd done it only to make her jealous. (It was also rather mean of him to say he wanted to make her cry.) Other than that: flawless.
By now I've heard what happens in episodes 5 and 6 so i'm holding off on watching until next week when the rest of the series is available.
If there's a sad ending I might not watch at all. But what gives me hope is that the story has reached a crisis moment where it looks like everything is falling apart, and in terms of classic storytelling that usually means that things come together in the end and we will get a happy conclusion.
That censored romance is from bad taste. Nothing here was censored, this just seems biased fans of other shows…
You can nitpick word meanings all you want but it's clear that they held back on showing certain elements of a m/m relationship. If you try to say they didn't then you're just in denial.
The majority of disappointed people on here started as big fans of *this* show, me included. We loved the early episodes and deplored the later ones.
I think Shane is my favorite Thai actor right now. He's a sweet guy offscreen and seems very attached to P'MD in real life. I also like how they didn't use his character for constant love-triangle drama in Season One. Instead Frong figured out that Duen was taken and he went his own way... and met the handsome doctor. :)
It’s a shame Ryan had a situation with the studio and had his contract terminated :( He really was a cutie and…
The production company should reach out to Ryan and try to negotiate a contract. He has posted thank-you messages to fans so he's happy to be associated with the series even if it's now an unofficial thing for him. I bet the next time around there wouldn't be any issues.
I think they should let the actor speak in Chinese and pretend the cast can all understand him and that he can understand their Thai lol. They managed with Korean and Chinese in 'Because of You' so why not haha.
I just had to say something. I’ve just completed watching this and I loved it!! It leaves you with a warm feeling.…
Cha Eun Woo stepped out of his comfort zone with this role, especially since in his previous drama roles he basically played himself - Kpop idol who is always cheerful and kind. People criticize him for playing Kyung Suk as too sullen and detached but for me that's the whole point of the character -- he's been damaged by life and has major trust issues. It's a remarkably controlled performance, and he does a believable job of loosening up the character as the series progresses.
The only thing I'd want different is to show more of Kyung Suk's back story when he was still in middle school with Mi Rae and in high school.
Watched this whole drama without realizing the ML also played the younger version of Kyung Suk in 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty' -- a drama I've rewatched two or three times now. D'oh!

It's funny -- his character is such a sweet guy it's hard for me to imagine him being so difficult that he got fired

I'm super curious about whether they'll take the negative feedback seriously since they have tons more fans who'd love anything BrightWin.
