the great thing about lead pair " they walk with each other as well as they looks in same direction" thats sign of true soulmate . which make their chemistry more interesting.
each character has balanced definition and concept which rarely you find in drama i'm happy with all actors they done great job . FL played a character of innocent girl who is full of dreams who met a tough guy ML who is not arrogant (people sometimes find it arrogant) but he resist to convey his emotion a kind of introvert person
if i taught about other characters any character is strong if it played by sincerely and scripted rightly. you can connect with all. till the end of the show you not say that you don't like this or that character it shows growth of each characters.
i hope people enjoy it as much i

i'm really impressed with FL. she killed it by her strong performance, but i'm not convinced with ML acting, his appearance is dull for me, it could be better if other actor played that role, rest i'm happy with all characters and 2nd couple
i loved those moments where princess and prince showing affection to each other
i've watched "THE CROWN PRINCESS 2018" before " PLERNG NAREE 2016" this both have different story line but plots are some how same as well as they used the same location and some actors are same
1 risa came trigis to thailand for revenge/alice came thailand for business from hirosis
2 for both ML its naturally shocking to know FL is the crown princess (FL hide their identity from ML)
3 theephob is police/ davin is navy officer
4 both ML have given duty to protect FL and escort their country safely
5 both ML maintain distance from FL thought their not suitable for FL
6 both FL agree to marry other countries prince for her country sake
7 both FL shot and admitted to hospital where rest of the people know her identity
8 princess pririsa and prince kanin are targeted by rebels / as well as princess alice and prince aaron are targeted by
rebels
9 davin's father saves once king of hirosis / theephob's father saves once king of trigis
10 davin is requested by king of hirosis to protect his granddaughter in trust of his family loyalty / theephob is
ordered/requested by king of trigis to protect his daughter in trust of his family loyalty
11 for some reason both ML quit mission to save FL then they accept that mission after their parents told them
12 both ML mothers are against FL
13 both ML don't want to listen FL's confession to maintain distance
14 at last FL family agree to fulfill FL happiness so they give them chance to go to her true love

the show started on 5 mar 2020 and ended 16 April 2020 its wrap up early for some reason (may be corona virus) initially it was announced 20 episodes i don't think this needed this long otherwise the way it was going i'm really going to frustrated but fortunately it started drastically and ended beautifully the 2007 version is worst version about that i don't want to talk
the unsaid things from 1996 versions are said gracefully in this , their are something which are mark-able words/dialogues of 1996 i missed in this, their are scene which shouldn't be putted in this i hated it, the character portrayed in parent story need applause but here they are not up to their characters . even in this one is almighty the king ransimun and every one inferior to him . almost last 40% drama are really good to watch.
i've mixed feeling for it people who watched parent story understand me very well i'm not convinced by the background setup/production if characters are not justified . as the description king rangsimun character are cold and not expressing kind but here in one moment he expresses things next moment he became cold . the way num potrayed king rangsimun 1996 is better i prefer . as like all the characters i prefer 1996 better than this but as i said its extended version of it the things which left unsaid are expresses here for that i appreciated it . its nice version but not the great one i can say
after watching 1st episode i thought it'll going to be promising one not near to original but at not be the worst to previous why its seems to me a fancy dress show where artist wear clothes and walk in stage here and their people amages by their clothes and setups behind them even a monkey can wear nice dress and look good is such environment but we cant make him to deliver right thing
the worst delivery of acting by all artists they spoiled the whole story
SUGGESTION: parent story 1996 + remake 2020 last 5 episodes

i just have one thing to mention which is different in this drama from all other dramas is we usually notice that all revenge dramas end when one side take revenge or realize that him/her revenge is unreasonable and other side forgive him/her for all its wrongdoing and they happily live after but here when one side revenge is ended for whatever reason writer give equal opportunity to take revenge or show vengeance for facing consequences of what have gone through FL cause of ML .
kissing scenes are not that much interested to watch because of camera angle it looks fake even its real
about chemistry i find it great and story is great
yes there is something which is unlikable or dragged but if i see overall package its nice drama

story is baseless (all surrounding people know what is happening between this both sister instead of that they all pretend that they don't know nothing and involve in their stupid game what are they trying make fool us or make fool out themselves ) no romance only fun glamorous costumes big production but nothing outcome only slap-kiss worth suggestion : only slap kiss and glamour of both beauty
note: thai media industry is obsessed with slap kiss for that they ignore all the aspect which should required in any drama to be interesting
Was this review helpful to you?
yes there is flaw in execution few things but to execute well it need time/episode more cause it have 9 epi instead of that it manage great to portray the story in compromise in few scenes and rush it but thats ok overall sibling brother-sister-hood and main couple romance cover all the flaw
characters:-
NAM
she is doctor only dauther of their parents and sister of 3 brothers who all treat her like princess their world goes around her some time it frustrated she don't get space from her brother but contrary she know her brothers well whatever her brothers do its for her safety that they loved most
PARENTS
they are so supportive to their children and same time like other parents care for them
FAI
most impulsive in 3 brothers that make him some time idiot which i liked it
note:-
NAM and PRINCE
character can be explained well but they rushed things
suggestion:-
ya there is some flaw but it can be ignorable overall package is full of comedy and romance i definitely suggest this its good drama has only 9 epi not so burden
great romcom drama i enjoyed it alot :)

indian dish taste with smile
There were all Indian spices and ingredients which were cooked in Indian style. It felt more like an Indian movie than a Thai one.Some things that bothered me were that firstly when two people of different languages were talking then the use of English was fine but when two people of the same language were talking then the use of English did not seem right to me especially when you are making a movie where two cultures and language is being shown. Secondly, it seemed as if the artists had hold themselves. Their acting and expressions were not coming out naturally. especially the two moments i like to mention 1st Risa and tim's dance and 2nd Monica's running in the climax.
Overall it is a good romcom. Believe me, this movie will make you smile.

every thing is on right place what i can't digest it why Asian dramas going to be disgust like this initially i like it though it has not great impact on audience now i understand what suck people after reaching epi 11-12 it is no more likable even i regret to watch past episodes 1-12
STORY
story is predictable in some points FL wants to revenge of her adoptive father without knowing the revenge she is taking from her own biological family for that she seducing/flirting her brother in law(harnagla) , brothers (naran and sattawat) and her father adoptive child(narut) logically if you see its kind of disgusting it could be better if disgusted part removed but its not possible damage has done
LIKED ABOUT DRAMA
ML character a understandable matured person who handle its all relation and sensitive issues delicately never get angered on any thing wisely think on situations even its revenge drama its not a slap kiss FL is strong messed with all person's mind
SUGGESTION
if you are not kind of person that i'm who can't digest love relation between sister&brother/stepbrother/adoptive-brother even for in misunderstanding then don't watch

Against All Odds: The Unyielding Journey of Ling Ruo Jin
This review contains minor spoilers, but they aren't major plot reveals.Plot Summary
The story of a girl whose circumstances are not in her favour but at every step people and her own people stop her. This is the story of how she challenges the circumstances.
Main Characters
Ling Ruo Jin: is a strong independent girl who never gives up on circumstances and never asks for help
Xiao Ye Han: is a bottomless pot, bending wherever the weight is, who has no backbone of his own.
Highlights
Strengths: It was a good thing for a girl to be strong, not to bow down to anyone and not ask for help from anyone in any situation. You will not see tears in her eyes or wrinkles on her face even for a moment. The boy takes a firm decision once taken, yes this thing also shows negativity in him.I always demand love in any drama. I wait for a cute scene between the couple or for them to unite. There were almost no moments of love in this, yet its absence was not felt. The character of the girl was so strong that she carried the entire show. It seemed as if even after becoming friends, they had separated from each other with respect, it would have been also a good ending .
Weaknesses: How can a person get up immediately after the operation, medical technicality had to be taken care of. Secondly, putting the boy's life in danger so that girl forgives the boy is a very old trick. Thirdly if someone has shown favour on you then it does not mean that you give him benefit of doubt to torture the world. 4th thing, as soon as you get the hint that she is not your saviour, you turn 180 degrees. It does not matter for you what is the nature of the human being, it matters for you that you return favour on someone. I have seen this concept many times, sometimes in short length series, sometimes filmed vertically, it is repetition for me. But still the way the story has been presented, there is not even a single sign of defeat from beginning to end, is praiseworthy. I did not feel frustrated. It was not special but it was not rubbish either, you can definitely watch it once.
Overall Impressions
While the plot felt repetitive at times, the presentation was still praiseworthy. Ling Ruo Jin's character was a highlight, maintaining strength and resolve from start to finish. Despite some weak narrative choices and overused tropes, the drama kept me engaged without frustration. It may not stand out as extraordinary, but it’s definitely worth a watch for those who enjoy a determined female lead.
Rating
5/10

Warning: Stay away from this, it is not suitable for your mental state, time and data
There was a lot of pulling drama. The whole story which should have been completed in 8-10 episodes was forcibly made into 16 episodes. The ex-boyfriend-girlfriend shit was beyond limits. The first half of the story is interesting and the second half is uninteresting. There are also some irrational flaws in the story, like Keanu could have told everything to the protagonist in the first meeting but he kept things to himself. If I look at the entire episodes, I will give 1-2 ratings. Because I liked the first half, I give it a 5 rating. Many people say that it is a heart touching drama, but nowhere didn't it feel like an emotional journey for me. The characters had confused and complicated emotions. Because of which, watching this drama, I did not feel love or relief, but felt tension.I have mixed feelings, but I'm less happy, more annoyed with this drama because of the way it's pulled off really irritate me .
Sometimes high rating/famous dramas are not good, I also watched this after getting influenced by ratings and people, now feel like I wasted my time. When this drama was released, my heart felt that it would not be good, and I ignored it. and my instincts were right

i watched it only for slap kiss genre i like the scenes between main leads , the twist ML became prince, and most disgust evil FL character that support whole story if this three factors are not there the drama is already rubbish i really like slap kiss rape genre so i watched many Thai dramas only the thing i don't understand is Thai drama have not great story line to create slap kiss rape genre they do rubbish concept if story line is exist execution is not good enough execution in the sense script writing and camera angles in this even though main lead really kissed but stupid camera man not used that opportunity to utilize it perfectly some artist hesitate to physical contact what the use of artist effort to create passionate love but angles makes it fake kiss.
so i ignore the story and only watch the scenes that make my day it would be great if all things done perfectly so its between 4-6 rate according me
EPISODES 1-10
hate love force slap kiss romance you can see
EPISODES 10-17
main target is FL by evil FL and happy ending
RECOMMENDATION
YES : 1- 8 episodes only who love slap kiss for them after that its their choice if they want to continue or skip till the end to know whole story for me further it is logic less cause there are many loopholes
***** ML reject his wife to marry evil FL at the end he is saying that i already know your are not that woman i love then he must immediate leave her when he realize it if after realizing it he continue with her that mean you are in love with her if so there is not needed to make reenter evil FL in their life but he does such a stupid/ rubbish/confusing concept *****when each and every one know that FL have identical twins so there is possibility if she is denying on some act so they should point out evil FL but they have no brain think of it
NO: for them who don't like average or imperfect dramas

MAY BE YOU GET SPOILER BE CAUTION
STORY
story is really great i never expected that it took my heart and make me smile with tear eyes it hook me from episode one i didn't skip a sec of drama till i found epi 12 from here i thought that i should skip or drop it story is going wrong way thank god i didn't skip/drop it till end of drama other wise i regretted it the mention epi is also worth to watch cause before and after it make worth
love is painful when comes to love became hatred or hatred became love or guilt in love that time people find themselves breathless
CHARACTER
2nd ML try to impose himself to FL basically its force love and ML try to get revenge from FL or can say revenge love this is my 1st show and as well as unique show where both ML approach FL as a same time for not only for soft love but to satisfy itself and both end up to fall for her both ML have gray character but not as much dark to hate them from start to end i love both ML even for 1 sec i didn't think to hate them there is love revenge guilt jealousy respect every emotion are convey in their manner in right time and for FL her character match to real world
RECOMMENDATION
YES : if you really believe in love then watch it i'm sure once you watch you're not enough to watch for once
NO : for those who don't believe in love stories or expecting action or some kind of practical things , it is story you need to left your logic/practicality and lost themselves in show

A Hidden Gem Worth the Time
I stumbled upon this short-length drama after a string of disappointments and was hesitant at first to give it a try. After watching 3-5 bad short dramas, my expectations were low. However, I’m glad I took the chance because this turned out to be a gem. It restored my faith in the short drama format, which had left me frustrated with wasted time and subpar plots.Plot Summary:
This is the story of two individuals brought together by circumstances, and as they overcome the challenges, their love begins to bloom. The plot is simple, yet beautifully executed, offering a refreshing change from overly complicated storylines.
Actors and Performances:
All the actors delivered solid performances, This was my first time seeing ML work, and he proved to be a great actor. I look forward to seeing more from him and the rest of the cast, who all contributed to making this drama enjoyable.
Production Quality:
The production was good . From the cast’s wardrobe to the scenic settings, everything was thoughtfully arranged. The excellent acting combined with the beautiful scenery created a visually pleasing experience.
Music and Sound:
The background music and soundtrack were well-matched with the drama’s tone, enhancing the emotional moments without being overpowering.
Story and Pacing:
The story captivates you within the first 3-4 minutes and runs smoothly throughout. There are a few moments where the pace picks up, but it doesn’t detract from the overall flow. What I appreciated most was its simplicity. Too often, stories try to be overly complex and fail in execution. This one keeps things light and fun, which adds to its charm.
Final Thoughts:
Despite the odds, love always finds its way. This short drama, with its simple, engaging, and heartwarming story, is a perfect watch when you want something meaningful without investing too much time. It's a smooth, enjoyable experience that doesn’t disappoint.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you're looking for a short drama that’s well-made and satisfying, this is worth the watch!
