Only in a lakorn can the 2nd female lead kidnap the first female lead, with at least three witnesses (one of whom is the 2nd female lead's son) resulting in the death of one of the witnesses and escape any judicial punishment . This is so common in lakorns that it must come as a huge shock to real Thai citizens when they find out that their country actually has real laws, and attempted murder is prosecuted, even if the victims forgive.
Revenge dramas, even bad ones, are my thing. I really hope this gets picked up by a Thai angel subber. I don't need translations when the action is slapping and hair pulling [spoiler: this describes 197% of lakorns] but revenge is a lot more complicated, plot wise.
The comments on here??? Don't forget most countries have laws restricting drugs. Celebrities are not "Above the…
"The comments on here" are largely expressing the idea that drug use should not be considered a criminal act, regardless of a country's laws which criminalize it. Questioning, criticizing, and speaking up are just a few of the ways that individuals can change their country's laws (provided their country allows them the freedom to speak their objections.)
Secondly, while many people (and countries) do consider suicide a crime, it is undeniable that an individual owns their own life.
Drug laws which criminalize addiction instead of treating addiction like the mental/public health problem it actually is, are barbaric. That we still have laws like these (which appear to be universal, although arguably worse in the East and Middle East) in the 21st century is unbelievable.
A huge thank you to Thai subber angel Thippy for her work on this, making it possible to watch it with eng subs.…
Really entertaining watch. With horrible, horrible people. The male characters are ungoverned, conscienceless, promiscuous jerks you would want neither as a friend, nor a lover. Yet strangely, the female characters do (no single one of whom has enough brains to add 2 + 2 together without coming up with a sum = "pineapple"--and one of the female characters is a medical doctor.)
As is commonly the case in a lakorn, this drama's characters do horrible, horrible things, until the last thirty minutes of the last episode, when these horrible, horrible people receive miraculous character transplants so they're no longer horrible, horrible people (helpfully, the victims of these horrible, horrible people also acquire the amnesia necessary to forgive/forget all the things the horrible, horrible people did to them.)
I couldn't stop watching this, and when I finished it, I felt very glad that no one I know knows I did. It really is that bad.
But it’s a lakorn. It is usually pre-taped/pre-produced unlike kdramas.
That's true, and a good point. However, start dates or episode counts on MDL are commonly inaccurate until the show is finished. Also, this show's episodes length is only 45 minutes, and a lakorn that has only 12 45:00 episodes is rarer than a polka-dotted unicorn (not counting the short youth/BL dramas that air on lesser networks). Plus which, I've watched 6 episodes already, and the 2nd ML hasn't even showed up yet.
I haven't been right about anything since 1970 though, so I could be wrong.
I've seen worse. This is not a great or even good lakorn, but it's decent. Quite entertaining (although the last few episodes do get bogged down in the usual lakorn/redemption/forgiveness crap.)
That's a Cdrama rom-com for you: first half is ha ha ha, second half is wtf. The reason I know this is because I keep getting my hopes up, that the one I'm watching won't be that way, and then it is. Naturally, I'll be checking this one out, too.

I find your comment unsympathetic and dogmatic.

This is beautiful film that hurts like a toothache when it's over.
