I never thought that I would love this drama this much, I thought it would be boring but not at all..
Once you got hooked you don't want to stop watching.
It is breathtaking, it is an old drama almost 17 years old as we do not have much left for 2017. But it needs to be on must watched list.

The Story was great. Although second female lead irritated me.
I actually liked the chemistry between the second leads
If I watched this drama in 2000's at a much younger age I would possibly not liked it. Now I find it brilliant.

The story is a love triangle. A classic Rich Boy Poor Girl Story, a rich boy falls in love to poor girl but there is another rich, mean, stupid, ambitious who is also in love with our rich guy. We watch the schemes she is putting on to get rid of the poor girl so she can be with the rich guy. But she's putting herself into a funny position, she is unwanted, she's still playing games, slanders the poor girl with the help of her ex bf ( who never loved her but just thought she is the daughter of a rich man. as soon as he learns she's the daughter of the driver. he dumps her)

It is also about political corruption. how dad shut his eyes to the things his daughter done just to be a politicain.

How a mother wants his son to marry a woman he does not love, as she did not come from a rich, wealthy family and her husbands family never accepted or liked her. For that reason she wanted her son to marry a wealthy girl whose family has got political ties.

This drama makes me to think how families ruin their childrens life because of their ambitions, and high expectations.

It goes on like that.. The credits gives you a lot of hints about the drama.

As always like in every K-CN-or TW drama I do not feel sorry for the 2nd leading lady..
Devil's tears, showing themselves pitty.. Oh I saw him first, he's my childhood dream, I love him so you get off, he is mine bla bla bla ..

These girls do not have a pride and their mothers who are clapping every single bad thing their daughter does.

Just because of parents ambitions they do force the leads to do what their parents want not right but it is normal in Asian Culture

AND NOW THE MUSIC

Both the soundtrack and the musics used in this drama were superb..
the choice absolutely brilliant
from Rodrigo Guitar Concerto to Boyzone Words.
I'll update the musics as I remmeber
- Mariah Carey Without You
- Boyzone Words
- Rodrigo Guitar Concerto aka Rodrigo Aranjuez
- There was a jazz song which I can not really call it now.
- also a korean song called gwon-yeon-u geojismalcheoleom like a lie.
-My All Mariah Carey
-Scorpions Wind Of Change
a french song from the 60's which I can not recall atm
- Eric Carmen All by myself

This drama deserves a remake

SO I made a list of the actors & actresses to play the characters if there is ever a remake

those are my choice ofcourse.

Park bo Young as Lee Ja Young
Ha-Suk Jin a Jung Hyun Woo
Cha Ye-Ryun as Lee Shin Hee
Joo Won as Park Seung Jae
jung-man-sik as Lee Young Chul
park-mi-sun is Shin Hee's mother
Park Young Kyu Ja Young's father
Na Young Hee as Lee Ja Young's mother
lee yoon ji as Choi Eun Shil Lee Ya's best friend
im-seulong as Shil Lee Ya's brother
lee-da-hae as Shin Hee's sister

Buckle Up while I take you on a journey

Let me take you on a journey through the highs and lows of this drama, where emotions swirl like a tempest, and characters leave an indelible mark on our hearts.

At first glance, Namwhan and Denkhun appear to be the quintessential onscreen couple, poised to captivate us with their chemistry. Yet, as the story unfolds, that spark we long for seems to flicker and fade, leaving us yearning for a connection that never quite materializes.

But fear not, for amidst the murky waters of disappointment, there shines a beacon of hope in the form of Pim's journey. As she traverses the tumultuous terrain of love and family, we witness her evolution from a naive young woman to a nurturing mother figure for the adorable twins. Oh, how those scenes with Mafeuang and Mafai tug at our heartstrings, their innocent love for Pim radiating like a beacon of light in the darkness.

And then there's Saran, the steadfast pillar of support in Pim's tumultuous world. His unwavering dedication to both Pim and the twins speaks volumes, even if the origins of his love for Pim remain shrouded in mystery.

But it's the twins who truly steal the show, their infectious energy and genuine affection for Pim melting even the coldest of hearts. Their American-accented English adds a unique charm to the drama, a delightful surprise amidst the chaos. But what truly astounds is their flawless command of English, spoken with an American accent, a rarity in the realm of Thai lakorns. ( I mean kids as young as the twins) Their bilingual prowess adds a layer of enchantment to the narrative.

Despite the trials and tribulations Pim faces, she finds solace in the unwavering support of the farm workers, maids, and babysitters who become her makeshift family. But amidst the sea of kindness, there lurks the shadows of betrayal, embodied by Pim's own brother and the nefarious Thinnamai.

And let us not forget Aunt Chuda, the epitome of societal elitism, whose relentless pursuit to thwart Pim's happiness serves as a stark reminder of the class divisions that plague our world.

In the end, while the journey may have its pitfalls and detours, it is ultimately a tale worth experiencing, if only to witness the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. So, grab your tissues, hold onto your heart, and prepare to be swept away by the emotional rollercoaster that is this drama.

Starts nice go bad in the middle

the synopsis is wrong, Kittiput doesn't start to have feelings for Wee, they are just good friends.
We have Parit & his adorable cutie pie daughter Pie. (she steals the show)
Wee is an independent girl from a family who owns the school Pie attends. Wee likes horse riding and her aim is winning competitions, she pretends to be her best friend Soda and apply to work for Parit's house as a nanny. Her true ID comes out but that doesn't stop her working as Pie's nanny.
Pie is the matchmaker for her dad & Wee. She cheered for their relationship.
In the middle we start to learn some truths Pie is not Parit's bio daughter but Pie is her older sister's daughter to save her face Kit registered her on his name.
At the he was dating Da and she breaks up from him without giving him a chance to explain things. (she thought he cheated on her and had Pie from another girl) unfortunately her actions doesn't change.
When Parit's sister returns back she starts playing games, she told Kit that he's the bio father of Pie. at the time they were dating so when she told him this he didn't question and Da also leaves Kit goes back to Parit,
Parit leaves Wee without any explanation.
we got to learn that Pie's that is not Kit either.
The singer who sings the OST bleed my ears
kisses in betw Parit & Wee is close to 0
however we have some fake kisses in between Kit & Da
Aom Sushar, Peter Denman pairing was not that bad. Aom is petite so she doesn't show her age like Kimmy & Yaya and the others who are broad girls.
Hats of to M once again, he can get into any character..
Let me know if you know the name of the child actress who portrayed Pie in the lakorn, she is such a cute girl

Another lakorn that brings Chippy, Stephanie & Kat all together.

Stephanie always gets to play the naive girls.

Before getting into any reviews I believe young girls needs to learn some lessons from this lakorn.

looks & wealth can be deceiving & money is not everything.

Let's get into the review
Mahatsajan's father who is an MP sends him to the village , Baimon & her bestie Kamloy is living to make him to learn about life & people. Father said I am their MP and in the future you'll be their MP, so you need to know about how they live.

Baimon & Kamloy don't really click with Mahatsajan, they do things on purpose to make his life even more difficult.

Baimon & Kamloy's parents farm lands get swindled as the mothers don't know how to read & write and the same people who swindled Baimon & Kamloy's parents are after Mahatsajan's family.

While Mahatsajan's father is suspicious about his daughter's boyfriend her mother is quite the opposite blinded by the (fake) wealth of her boyfriend and encouraged her to be with him

the same goes for Mahatsajan, he was blinded by the looks of his girl friend and thought she is from a wealthy family

Baimon and Kamloy gone through hell & back to make their dreams to come true.

Mahatsajan doesn't fall in love with Baimon at first sight, his love gradually grows.

near the end he learns to trust Baimon and also gives her something to keep / hide it for him.

I am still confused if Mahatsajan understood Maitong is Baimon or not.

Can they please stop casting M as villain lol, I am gonna end up hating him one day.

Peter was great, I laughed at his scenes.

Hats off most of the time Kat & Chippy had minimum make up on their face.

Although I hated Mahatsajan's mother, sister & the greedy house keeper. It was fun to watch

Not bad

Our female lead is a hotel inspector/ reviewer. Hero is the CEO to be, he's in competition with his brother. Their paths crossed when she was locked out of her room when she only had towels wrapped around her, he's rich, handsome & arrogant, we get to see his 6 pack & tattoos a couple of times in the movie. both leads are insomniac,
The scenes are beautiful, there are couple of things I'm trying to get such as how did they find the time to fall in love ?. The ending is open, so you can take it to either side.

But from the way we have been shown Cinderella & the witch telling her you'll fall a sleep when you find the right guy.

Her leaving red shoes & letter tells me, happy ending..

To be honest, I started this lakorn with having no hopes, as the script looked like a typical amnesia story, 2 girls look like each other gets involved in a traffic accident, they both had amnesia and things get tangled.

Oh my, but the story is not like that.

Dada & Lookkaew they look like each other, they are not twins , two different girls with different personalities, One has amnesia and one has brain injury with less possibilities of recovery...

Things gets tangled after this, when Dada wakes up, she has no memories of her life, but finds herself engaged with Ratt..

Ratt is the only person as her fiance suspected that his fiance Lookkaew might not be Lookkaew but someone else.

First of almost there's no silly leads. There's no rape & no slap kiss.

Chemisty in between the leads are pretty realistic, They had well on screen chemistry.

Hats off to Natt, because things are surrounding on Lookkaew & Dada. Both are different girls with different personas.

Lookkaew is a sexy, unfaithful, party girl, where as Dada is more homely, soft, gentle girl.

What about Doctor Goson, someone needed to slap him till he gets back to his senses. Gason did everything for Rachawadee,but she's just a nasty piece of pie, and yet actually I am sue none of us had questioned their closeness, watch out their scenes and see if you can solve their mystery..

Rachawadee she's just an example of a bad mother.

I love the relationship between Ratt & his dad.

And soon after Ratt advising his dad if he wants to date, dad met a lady. lol (we won't be able to see how relationship develops)

Just a hint Dr. Goson didn't only perfom plastic surgery on Dadda to look like Lookaew ....

The end this lakorn is filled with twists and turns and is a must watch..

I watched this on YT on one of the Chinese Movie Channels, I was first skeptical about this.
The movie is the story of two maids who entered to palace as a child. Chen & Liu quickly became friends and they promise each other to be there for each other. Chen has a different personality comparing to Liu, While Liu is more kind, soft hearted, helpful, Chen is the opposite.

The story is about the relationship of two friends with the 13th Prince

Chen betrays her friend for power, she didn't want to stay in the palace forever and be a maid.

On her way to power Chen not only took her friend Liu's identity she also had an affair with the 4th Prince thinking she could be one of his favourite ladies. While being married to 13th prince this affair continued.

When the 13th Prince was going through hardship it was Liu who was there for him.

it's a happy ending but I didn't like the rushed ending.

It was a pleasant watch, I didn't fast forward or skipped any scene, at the end it was not bad.

I suppose this movie inspired Scarlett Heart and the other palace movies...

I know most people don't like Bomb's acting, I've seen worse so it's OK for me.

I love both Bomb & Mansu. I can't say I am a great fan but I like both guys.

If you are looking for an easy, romantic comedy to kill your weekend, this is the right one.

Bomb done a great job portraying the gay brother, Khun Mark, He's fun, cheeky, caring. I am sure that Bomb is a bit cheeky, who loves to joke & tease.

Characters are well developed, everything goes smoothly,.Cin's story is a bit like Cinderella, step ma & step sister & half brother.

Lessons to learn from the lakorn life is short, don't worry be happy, life is not long enough to worry about empty things.

Enjoy your limited days in this world, spend time with your loved ones, you'll never know who'll go first.

One of the pluses is there's no annoying second female lead here. . There are annoying female leads but their harm is to themselves not to Cin.

I love the relationship between the coworkers of Mark Entertainment, how they got used to Cin and in time accepted her.

It's quite funny especially the parts Mark taking over CIn's body, drinking, eating meat (Cin is a vegetarian & doesn't drink) dancing with guys in gay club, trying to seduce Mate(his brother) for Cin when he takes over Cin's body, poor CIn not remembering what Mark has done while he was using her body.

You need patience to watch this lakorn..

We do have a really evil lead...

Nothing really on the romance terms, yes we do have two handsome boys trying to protect the main girl and also fighting for her.. But there was not a lot of slot slot for Romance..

One lead steals the identity of the rich girl who grew up in the same orphanage.

She murdered 3 people... tried to kill her friend, the mother, her boyfriend, the other two male leads and nothing gets resolved until the final episode...

So I say don't waste your time..

One of the most evil witches of Thai lakorns is in this lakorn..

But the actress playing the bad girl did a better job than the good girl :) her acting was flawless

Rather than seeing 15 mints of romance I'd much prefer to see least an episode of the happy ending :)

Oh before I forget to say we do have an amnesia card in this lakorn..

I have watched this last year, I wish this was not this short..

Peter Ho and Janine Chang has an amazing chemistry but this drama is full of abuse, both physical-domestic abuse, rape.

Here we have another narcissist sadomasochist male, who does not only torture his love, he also tortures himself, he lets love of his life to suffer and let his kid suffer, time to time they have got barely food to eat, she sacrifices and let's her son eat.

He lets his wife and his son to live in poverty...

Ah the ending, wish the ending was different. I was expecting not to be like this but what do I do.. wishing for a remake sequel, etc

I started to watch this drama as I was looking for a light romance, I had shed enough tears with the other romantic dramas, so I decided to give it a go, without having any expectations.. From the first episode I started to enjoy it..

The chemistry between the characters were great, I shipped them from the first moment, The museum scene was quite funny, she acted like she is dating with our chaebol to make the museum president jealous, she was there to check on her as she is the girl her prof loves...


Lee Seol is a college girl who has a crush on her archeology prof portrayed by Ryu Soo Young, I can't blame her every girl wants an intellectual guy, but her prof is in love with the Dea Han Museum President since he was a college student, who is going to be engaged with our Chaebol..

Yoon Jo is set to be engaged with our chaebol, her ex is the prof, but whenever she is not ok, she runs into arms of prof, he is another idiot its been many years since you break up and you have not changed your pin to enter to your flat.. for what reason??

The Church scene on ep4, when Lee Seol's mother puts her letter written to her instead of her prayer letter into the box and when the father / priest started to read it on Sunday Prayers, that scene was quite funny, it is the start of many misunderstanding, this let people to think she is pregnant, and even the priest got shocked but then he said it is normal these day, what would he say at that moment :))

The scenes with prof and our chaebol is fantastic, they both like / love her without knowing their feelings at the time, during the scenes I was humming let the two tigers fight haahh ( this is way before the love developed in between the characters)

Lee Seol is loud, a bit naive but she is beautiful with a good heart, she is quite lively, I loved the outfit and tiara she was wearing when she was looking after her mother's hostel... Her transformation is amazing..

When Hae Young chucked out from his flat by his granddad he goes to department store for clothes shopping, but he accidentally goes to women's lingerie part and starts to look around at the same moment Princess is also at the department store and happens to pass from the same section, he's been caught while hiding behind the mannequin with sexy lingerie on eh while he is holding the mannequin everybody gives him a look :)) ofcourse he has not only been chucked out of his flat grandad put hold on all his credit cards.. :))

later on he's been assigned to teach her some etiquette. that's the time when they find a chance to get more close...

We can see our chaebol is jealous of the prof.. How many times they came face to face and the anger in between them, oh gosh.. they could have easily have choked each other. One is certain of his feelings but not openly telling her, the other one is hiding and denying it as long as he can...

The fiance Yoon Joo thinks she can jump from one men to another one whenever she wishes, she's so arrogant and selfish, mean, she does not know what she wants, maybe a little bit jealous because she knows the guy she wants as a fiance and her ex are all falling for Lee Seoul... She even selfishly can say whether you leave the palace on your own or we get you out of the palace time to disappear of.. that's being mean, jealous and selfish. It is public who is going to decide not you, it is not OK to say there's no one on your side in the palace.

There is no reason to hide her past, as the public would love her more if they learn she was one of them, working hard to earn money...

There are also plots twists in the drama, such as Lee Seol's & Hae Young's first meeting... Well if you are watching the drama now and if you are on the first episodes you obviously think yeah yes when she was acting as the princess when she was on part time job.. wait and see.. it was a bit surprising for me not expecting this...

Princess & Chaebol has got opposite characters, while one is warm, open hearted ,the other one is like an iceberg, calculated..

We do have to wait a little bit for their first kiss but it was unexpected for both parties.... first kiss is shared on a snowy winter day while it is snowing..

On a drunk night when our Chaebol put our princess to bed, the alarm bells were already ringing for him.. he already fell for her no matter how he tries to deny it....

Yoo Joon using both men for own benefits, and she has still hopes to marry one of the other, she insanely thinks whatever I can get, whoever I can get is on my benefit.. Sorry Yoo Joon you are destined to be single for the rest of your life.. You should not be this much btch..

Both men are proud of Seol but one is showing this with his body language and emotions while the other one is not showing anything at all, just standing there like a statue, without showing any emotions at all.

Later on YJ assigned as a director in the palace and she has done her best to make Seol uncomfortable but at the end she could not beat her..

at the end YJ lost both men, while trying to get a better one....... at the time.. but let's see what future brings for her... Men are brainless so I am guessing prof will take her back, though she does not deserve any of these guys.

Lee Seol is not like Anne Hathaway in Princess Diaries.. She has a more mature character comparing to Anne in Princess Diaries.

When Nam Jung Woo speaks I feel like he is speaking in French, so sexy hahaha

Lee Seol & Hae Young has got that much frustration that my tv room was about to set on fire .... :))

The reaction grandad gave when he learned that the two spend the night alone in one room was worth to see / watch :D

HY & YJ are in a way forced to marry.. Not gonna say whether the wedding is set or not.... Well hell Pandora's box is open after grandad asked them to marry.. Well cards are all open and on the table now, let's wait and see..

Somebody finally understand that YJ is after the money..

She is too bitchy that she wants both men for herself. She even send a text msg to both men but luckily both men were together when they received the text msg from her...

It was quite funny when Joo Sang Wook appeared as an oppa and LS wanted to give him a warm hug and been pulled by HY haaah

Her sister is another bitch....

YJ is so evil that she even went to LS's orphanage to investigate.. but she was shocked to see LS coming to orphanage with prof.

When 2 revival females goes up for a drink, you know what's coming next, their claws are sharpened and ready for a cat fight...

LS & HY both likes to chicken out, she chickened out when HY asked him if she likes Mr P or NJW, he chickened out when she asked if he is still the enemy...

Sisters and YJ characters are more or less the same, jealousy, evilness, being over confident and selfish. She even dares to claim the sachet as hers and shows this prof with the influence of the director.

She became so pro that she even prepared her own course schedule.

ahh guess who is going to give her music & dance lessons

"RAIN OPPA"

I had too much expectations. royal wedding , honeymoon and half a dozen of babies
President asked him not to marry Seol and go to Washington bec of tax fraud image?? We see that he is not a strong character, he can’t cope with things…


If the president asked him to kill himself was he gonna kill himself?


what did we had at the end.. He did not even propose her properly..


He just left that big rock by the fountain pool. So he is at the airport waiting to go to Washington DC he looks around and can not see the Seol, so he jumps into the plane, he asked for a glass of red wine, when he was about to sip a hand stopped him, he looked it was Seol, he asked her how did she got in? She said bec you wanted bec I wanted.. He give her a kiss, she gave him a passionate kiss, end of story!! So where is the wedding? what did we have? Did she dropped being a princess??

If she wanted to give up being a princess why did not she do it when he first asked her to be his woman??This does not make sense. We need a sequel, remake, with a proper ending.. thats it…


One big slap to the moron prof, that woman played with you not only with you with HY, she tried to harm your student which you also had a crush on. She tried to damage the imperial family image, and you open your arms and say welcome back to me baby… Ahh Jeezzz I had enough of idiot brainless men in this drama…. This woman dumped you for HJ, dumped HJ for you, caused so much tantrums, problems blah blah, and you forget things and forgive this much easily!!! so let her get away with things with a blink of an eye, let the evil win…


They should have solved this princess issue by ep 8 and by episode 16, we should have seen, Mr.P's dad is now back to Korea, everything is resolved. Mr P & Seol is married with a one daughter, Seol is expecting their 2nd child, the child is running around the palace garden.. etc etc.. Seol, Mr P and dad is sitting and enjoying the bright summer's day and suddenly we see her rushing to the hospital, she gave birth to a son, the future prince. They are both happy, they took the children to the sea where they scattered the chairman's ashes.. They share a big, passionate kiss, daughter asks what dad is doing to mummy :P blah blah blah.

I expected a much more better ending ahh that's left to our imagination.....

I am so angry that they have only give us a couple of kisses, they had such a great chemistry

So such a great chemisty is wasted, Now Kim is married to Rain oppa and I don't think we'll ever see her in such a cute a romance, maybe Rain oppa will get jealous hahah

We can clearly see why Rain OPPA got married with this beautiful girl :)) ( Kim Tae Her)

Oh God !!! I love Song Seung Heon and thanks to his sweetness I turned into a fan girl after watching his few dramas

If you want to see more of him jump to Saimdang, the Herstory, currently airing on dramafever.

Although I have completed this long time ago, I wanted to share my own opinions.

Let me warn you from the beginning my fierce wife is not a typical romance drama, it has got romance yes. but not as much as we expected. It's about a married couple how circumstances change them, how their marriage goes to a break down

An Zhen ( the wife one of the main characters) is a classical housewife. A perfect woman to get married, who works like a maid in her house, cooks, cleans, irons, and looks after her daughter. She's also beautiful, loving, caring, respectful to her husband's family.

So in those regards she has everything that a men asks for.

But her husband never understand her, she was turning around him doing everything for him. And as soon as her An Zhen's cuz moved into their house everything started to go upside down for them

As a typical man when he saw a younger attractive woman and made her his mistress. Of course he did not do it alone, it was the twisted cuz who changed his mind first.


When she was having the most difficult time while she was in the hospital , he forced her to divorce

So she slowly developed and changed, first she has been given a job by Lan Tian Wei ( Chris Wang) and with the help of him she reborns from her ashes..

It was too emotional too depressing. I hated James Wen while I was watching.. Sonia Siu - James Wen & Chris Wang both of them added too much to the drama.

I have started this drama last year and get bored, I ended up dropping the drama, i decided to give an other chance but no, None of the female leads were promising, each are more boring than the other one, Don't watch with for Wang Kai, you won't see him much in the drama. I feel like I was watching some sort of psychological drama.

This is a bit of Sex and the city w/o mature- sex content a bit of Friends the two American dramas I most dislike. If you do not like those two you won't like this, but if you like them you'll possibly enjoy.

Female leads are so loud first.

An-Di is the ice cube of all the girls living in the apartment
Ju Er is after hunting a rich man
Ying Ying is the most innocent of all

for me this was too boring, could not pass ep 7

One of the most over rated Chinese Dramas ever.

Real Deal Bad Romeo

My review contains spoilers!

It took my 48 hours to complete from where I left off. I was on holiday through out most of the time it was airing and I was looking forward to complete it.

This not a slap kiss but a romance - revenge, w/o any r scenes.

This lakorn is filled with plot twists.

I really liked the Yaya Mario chemo, tbh they had better on screen chemo than her on / off screen boyfriend Nadech.

Mario done a great job portraying the street smart boy to a man who educated himself in 7 years and returned back as a different man.

Mario is quadrilingual, when he became Carl you don't find it odd that he speaks English perfectly otherwise realistically someone can not speak a language like native with an accent in short amount of time.

Lakorn starts with Kim & Kaokla having a one night stand, Kim getting pregnant and moving into a remote island to be with Kaokla.

She was welcomed by his family but being the daughter of a rich man she faced some difficulties from her loved ones, loads of back stabbing.

Kim's father Songsil never approved their relationship and wanted her daughter to get rid of her baby. (Hats off to Sam Yuranunt he is done a great job as father of the bride)

I believe Sam's political background, his 40 year acting skills helped him to fit into Songsil character.

He has done his best to break them apart.

He succeeded so.

But Bad ass Romeo returns back as Karl / Carl

Kim's & Kaokla second meet up was the same as one of their first scenes at Kaokla's garage, she thought Kaokla was death and she was shocked to see Kaokla, but Kaokla never admitted he was Kaokla nor he revealed his is Karl

And we have Asia Raman whom most of us thought she was Kaokla's bio mother when she saved him from the sea (we were not wrong though, but we don't learn this up until the last episode) Asia Raman (Metinee Kingpayome) is a great actress. She was so good as Asia Raman. Asia Raman also pays for her karma at the end.

Kaokla tortured Kim without asking what really happened same goes for Kim, she received a letter she thought it was from Kla, he received a letter he thought it was from Kim.

Hello, there is something called mobile phones,he could have called her, asked his dad to visit Kim or his sister.

I loved the chemistry in between the 2nd leads

But I am not sure if I would be as forgiving as Kim especially to my best friend

Lita also lied and deceived Kim.

She helped Kim's dad to break them, yes she had her own reasons, she wanted the best education like Kim but she didn't have enough money.

Lita was also a good friend for Kim. She supported her, Kim supported Lita.

Lita was Kim's only friend.

Sajee [Lita's mother] and her school principal boyfriend was also funny (she loves spring chicken)

Yaya is the Queen for portraying innocent naive girls, she has that look so she fits perfectly into the these characters.

I hoped to see baby no2 up to the last minute but we couldn't.

Roek (Wanchana Sawasdee) was a good father even though he's not Kaokla's bio father.

Tanthai & Lita had a decent chemo, they also have their own happy ending

Lita fancied Tanthai from day 1, I suppose Tanthai had feelings for her as well but he just didn't want to accept or just ignored those feelings.

I cried when Khem Kloijai Kaokla's sister's bf died.

Khem didn't have to die at the last minute, he could have his own happy ending.

He was Kaokla's friend from prison.

Claire she was Kim's half sister Kaokla dated her to take revenge from Kim

Kim is a girl who loves her dad and doesn't know he concealed a lot of stuff from her.

Both Kim & Kaokla have trust issues that's what created the problems in their life.

Realistically they were too young to be parents.

Kim had a miscarriage, when Kla asked whether their baby was girl or a boy she said she doesn't know she didn't ask, when she knew the gender, the whole reason not telling Kla was she knew Kla wanted to have a son, oh but Kla thought Kim was ignorant.

He was not thinking clearly.

Yes I was expecting Asia Raman to be Kaokla's ma, I found it suspicious her being on the yacht and saving him just when he needed but I was not expecting Nate nor the story behind Asia Raman learning about Kla's true identity.

I thought she left Kla just like Kim's ma left her and got married with a rich man.

?ight some of us might complain that it's different than the drama & the novel. I can't speak read or write Chinese, so I can only compare it with the drama version. Also it's an adaptation and there is no rule that says, movie needs to follow the book or the drama step by step.it's a movie so don't expect to see everything you saw in the drama. Movies based on the dramas will always be in fast forward motion, it will feel like something is missing. We have completely different main leads. I much liked Xing Boran & Angela Baby. In the drama (in the game she was not married with Cao Guan ) she was married with Feng Teng played by Huang Bo Jun.

In the drama Wei Wei was so passive in outgoing, she hardly let him to kiss her. There was basically no chemo between ZHENG chuang & Yang Yang.

The Bromance not as strong as it was in the drama.
So a little bromance is OK, we are not watching River Chen Bromance.

On drama v Wei Wei pissed me off by being overly innocent not even letting him to kiss and when he tries to kiss behaving like he is raping her.

obviously not everyone was happy with the drama and same thing is valid for the movie.

In the drama I disliked the main lady Wei Wei and couldn't ship her ZHENG. Here we have a lot more chemo and they're matching. Also Xing Boran is not or doesn't look as cold- reserved as ZHENG.

In the drama Cao Guan was platonically in love with Wei Wei but than fell in love with Er Xi.
Before I forget Er Xi in the movie portrayed by another actress.

In the drama Wei Wei gets married with Xiao Nai through the end, in the movie they were not married yet when the movies finished.

Other than these it follows the same plot with few differences.

If you do not know the drama it would feel like everything is hanging in the air, so first watch the drama and watch the movie later on.
