Drama isn’t as bad as everyone says

I was holding off on watching this lakorn because of how bad the reviews and comments were, but I am honestly so glad I watched it. The synopsis is pretty much a man whore who cheats on his wife from day 1, and then a whole bunch of women are chasing after him. Of course, with a synopsis like this, no one wants to watch the lakorn. But that’s because people are watching it to see if the ML gets redemption. Spoiler: he doesn’t.
Although the idea of the lakorn sounds really boring, it was actually really entertaining to watch. However, I watched it for the drama, not for the romance like most people did. SKIP TO THE END FOR THE OVERALL IF YOU WANT.

Characters:
FL: My absolute favourite character of this show was the Tat, the FL. She was amazing, she was not naive at all, even though she came off like that. Yes she let the ML get away with a lot, but she did it because she was raised to think the situations through calmly, not be crazy like the other females of this show. She stood her ground against the ML, even in the beginning. When he would get jealous and possessive, she’d walk away from him and let him apologise. She was smart in her own way, and a complete girl boss in the end, in the way the viewers wanted her to be. Around episode 17 she snapped and showed that she’s by far the written character I have ever seen. She told the ML mistress’s something like “why should I fight over my own husband” and that was the BEST line a FL in a Thai lakorn had ever said. The actress, is by far, the best I have ever seen. She knew how to portray the character, so that even when there was no dialogue, her emotions and facial expressions showed of character. The actress knew exactly what to do, people don’t realise that good actors/actresses should be able to act without dialogue, and this actress did exactly that in the perfect way! I have so much more to say about her, but honestly you guys should watch for your own, she carried the entire show. Kudos to her

Paa: Although she was manipulative, she was truly the only female who actually gave great/solid advice to the FL. Sometimes the FL would let the ML think badly of her, but Paa would tell the ML the truth. Yes she did it for manipulation, but at least she wasn’t like the other shameful women in the show.

Grandpa: I am so glad that not everyone in the ML family was annoying. The grandpa was the best person to teach the ML a lesson about how his wife is a diamond compared to the other women who the ML slept with. The grandpa was mischievous in his own way and helped teach the ML lessons multiple times. It sucks that the ML only changed for one episode and went to being bad again. I also felt so bad for the grandpa in the end, but I’m happy that he got justice and got his own happy ending.

Nok, Pin, Pan, and Khatou: These are the shameful women I keep mentioning. All of them are so bad in their own way, that I’m not sure who to pick as the worst. I love how the show revealed that the FL actually saw through all of them, but kept her cool so she wasn’t fighting over a man like the rest of them. They all kept plotting, and it was quite disgusting how they all wanted to be with a man whore. I do think that Pan had the biggest role out of all of them though, since she’s the one who just kept coming back and not giving up like the rest of them. Their drama was entertaining to watch, but it got really old and annoying when they kept using the same tricks.

ML: I saved him for last because I don’t know what to think of him. At first glance, he is a complete man whore, no arguing that. However, I feel like the writers messed up. They seemed to want to redeem him in some episodes, but then for some reason, they make him a disgusting person again. To be fair, the only disgusting thing about him was that he slept with other women when he was married. Otherwise, his few of his other personality traits were actually admirable. He would not let his cousin frame him, and he also did not let Khatou get away with slapping his wife, even though he himself got hurt by Khatous husband. His jealousy was petty though, and it seemed like he would be falling in love with the FL in one episode, but then dissing her in the next. I just honestly feel like he was half written. The actor wasn’t too bad, but the writers did not really give him much to work with.

Overall: This drama was actually good. I think people need to be aware that the ML won’t change, and that they shouldn’t expect much. The star of the show is honestly the FL, and if you guys want to watch a show for the cat fights, then this is the perfect show for it. I definitely suggest giving it a try, it’s not your average romance lakorn, but it definitely has all the crazy’s and the best FL ever, I just love how classy she is.
