Definitely an ensemble drama. Great relationships, few cliches. The mentor relationship between the FL and lawyer was great. I'm a total shipper in general but I really didn't mind that no ship set sail in this drama. I just love solid stories about relationships between people and this show had plenty of that.
It's like this show is a magnet. Somehow it keeps sucking me in and I end up watching a couple of episodes. And then I remember... why I stopped watching the previous time. The FL is very very stubborn and frankly kinda stupid. The ML keeps calling her stupid which... rude. However, he is so correct that I wonder what he sees in her. Ugh, I'm leaving this comment to remind myself to not try watching this again when I inevitably loop back to it again.
Though others seem to enjoy it so I won't say that no one should watch it ;) the FL is just too much for me.
In the end this lakorn was a bit... meh. It didn't really pack any punch. I did like how it was pretty "realistic"…
Also, I really really didn't like San's suicide in the end. Siri's suicide was well fleshed out and served a purpose. However to add another suicide in the end as last minute drama... It's treating the issue a bit to casually.
In the end this lakorn was a bit... meh. It didn't really pack any punch. I did like how it was pretty "realistic" in that there wasn't a ton of over to top drama. However the FL was REALLY annoying in the beginning. I mean... the ML was a saint/lovestruck as hell to let her stay. Hated when she kept on whining despite getting a salary that was 10x the norm and NEVER being grateful for this. On the other hand, this did create a good character arc and development for her, which I liked.
But I have to agree with another commenter in that the FL was a bit to detached. Sometimes it worked, but mostly she just seemed a bit apathetic.
Probably there will be a condition where the main lead does not need to have babies or maybe they will end up…
My guess would be a surprise baby, or the timeline being really tight so they fall in love and have a baby purposely. But I agree, pregnancy and misunderstanding would be great - I'm pretty entertained by those plotlines.
I suppose asking for logical set-ups in thai drama seems like a pointless endeavor... Though I guess that is part of what makes them so charming ;)
I just watched the first episodes, and Kawee is quite an asshole. I honestly don't get where the characters get the courage to provoke him. I mean... Just GTFO of any kind of association with him - the sister marrying his father seems like poking an angry bear.
What I don't get is how they plan to get around the "have an heir" part of the grandfather's will... I mean, no real marriage = no baby. So what is the point of even pretending to be married? Its not as if they are doing it for the mom, its for the will right?
The fact that they could cover so much ground story-wise in just 52 minutes really makes me realise how much bloating there is in other shows... Would watch a season 2 :)
Haha, the female lead is pretty bad-ass xD she gives as good as she gets, and keeps a close score of slights she's received. I'm kind of impressed at her stubbornness, she really follows the principle of "an eye for an eye" even at a high personal cost and injury to herself. In this she's the protagonist but not a very pleasant one, yet I still like her. A very different kind of lead :)
If I woke up and suddenly needed to have a really cold body temperate the first thing I would do was convert my home to a freezer... It would be really funny if they never fixed their temperature issue and made their marital home and ice castle xD
I'm still not emotionally ready for everything to inevitably fall apart
Honestly, I'm really happy that its finally airing, but soo not ready for the drama... So I'm gonna hang back for a while until its almost done so I can go through it all quickly - that way the drama is brief and not present for weeks on end ;)
Just watched ep. 13-14 or 7 (depending on how you count them). Its a fluffy show, and I don't think they intended to do this, but when Eun Dan Oh is sitting in the bleachers pondering how everyone else is totally unfazed by Haru's disappearance it hurt my heart.
Looking at it from a deeper perspective this episode was a very quick timeline of death and grief. Haru's sudden disappearance was like he died. To Eun Dan Oh this was a MAJOR event in her life, and her life stopped. But no one else was as affected. It kind of perfectly captured the isolation you can feel when a loved one dies and your life stalls. It feels like there should be a hole in the world yet the world is the same as before. The comic world where only a few people even remembers Haru really magnified this aspect of loss, and Eun Dan Oh's experience was really heartbreaking for me to watch, despite the "light" feeling of this drama in general.
Kinda dark interpretation of me I guess, but I was impressed and felt I needed to comment about it somewhere.
I'm only on ep.8, so things will probably change a lot. But seriously, that grandpa is the worst... Like 10/10 shamelessness, and the way his kids just lets him do whatever he wants and just totally disregards the grandma's feelings. Just kick him out! He has like 30 other kids he can go beg for help.
Somehow them actually having a threesome in ep.6 makes me feel like its less likely the show will end with all of them alive, happy together in a poly relationship. Like, the show threw the audience a bone before the sad ending, or at least not poly ending. If endgame was poly I feel like they would have built up more tension around it and saved it for later... Hopefully my feelings are wrong about this though.
I don't really get having a crush on the same person for 15 years, never confessing yet having very high expectations that one day you'll be together. I mean... If it was going to happen it probably already would have. I kinda admire her for being so tenacious though yet feel like it was a massive waste of time for her and annoying that she was so self-delusional. Mixed bag.

+ Chill movie
+ MC isn't weak
- Main couple Shima/Gen had like NO screentime
- Gen/Haruka dating... Why did Gen even accept her dating request when he didn't like her?
OK movie in general, I like Shima, she was pretty bad ass. She controlled her emotions well and stood up for herself as needed.
