One hell of a ride.

It's an eye-opening watch for those who are the so-called 'fan girls'. It slaps the reality of being a fan to you in just fifteen minutes after the movie started. It was confusing at first, the portrayal of the fiction trying to be reality kind of vibe but the lighting effects helped.

Be warned that this is absolutely for the mature watchers only. It's not something that a girl as young as Jane would be could watch without guidance or context. It's downright the reality of a double life and some scenes are really quite bothersome.

It talks about a highschool girl who is borderline obsessed with Paulo to the point that she skips classes just to see him and then eventually hides at the back of his truck so that she can follow him. She was expecting to meet her prince but it wasn't the case. all she saw was the man behind the man she liked. She saw his double life. Then Paulo lets her stay but man, was it bad. It was just a very broken story.

The storytelling was great. It was a story that wasn't meant for all but a great watch. Be reminded that this is fiction. Fiction, but know that the people you adore may be worlds apart from the person that he or she truly is. We all have lives we keep and secrets we do not tell. I might've not understood it the way that the makers wanted me too but I took something away from it and that's enough for me.

How do I begin to say how much I loved this show? I mean, I stumbled across it when there were only like 5 episodes and it takes a week to get a new one. I waited patiently for it and never got disappointed.

Tendo and Nanase were just so perfect for each other. Mone and Takeru's chemistry was off the charts amazing.

This is a short and sweet drama that would have you craving for love. You will support Nanase and cheer on for Tendo. I love how they both grew from episode one. It wasn't like Tendo pointlessly falls in love with her just because she was chasing him. He fell in love with who and what she was.

I'm a sucker for tsundere characters and Tendo just got me hook, line, and sinker for this. Nanase was cute and raw, she developed so much in the short run of this drama.

I definitely understand why this was such a hit in Japan. The story is worth your while.

P.S.: The OST is the bomb, I tell you.

A Surprise Gem

This was a gem of a find. I never really expected to watch this since I liked modern era stuff and this was set way back but not too historical. I must say that Rin and Saran make such a great couple, although their story was not that of usual roots, it was a love that developed gradually over time. Saran is a great man and Rin is a great woman. They both have stories to tell, they have strengths that complement each other and they built trust around themselves even though there was a big lie in the beginning. I hated the 2nd lead, Duang. I wanted to cute her hair to the roots. But she did turn it around and it felt good. Rin and Saran's story is worthwhile, a must watch!

The charm of 'one-sided' love.

I loved this drama because it was such an easy watch for me. I was engrossed with Muey's journey and how she truly loved Thien. It was the kind of love that everyone aspires to receive. Mark's character, Thien, was a pain in the beginning. You know that you'd love him and that he'd eventually realize who Muey is in his life but he did some bad things to her first. I just really think Muey was enduring and Thien's love for her towards the end was something we all wanted. He aspired to build a home with Muey as he realized his heart. Thank God Muey played at least a little hard to get so that she can at least get something out of it, she knew that Thien was being real to her then. The 'villains' in this drama were annoying, as in any lakorn, but they don't really matter that much in the journey anyway. Over-all, I loved this series and I would definitely want to watch it again. I just hope that we can get a stable site for lakorns already.

Another trainwreck.

This lakorn really lacks foundation. I was confused half of the time. I didn't know how they fell in love. The guy was for a lack of a better term to describe it is a douche from the beginning. He was only sensitive about her feelings, pushing and pulling with the girl. His love for the second lead was very blind also then he just suddenly falls out of love with her. It's a story with such a huge plot hole but I soldiered on. I was expecting another Padiwaradda story, which I absolutely love. The female lead here is the second lead in Padiwaradda that's why I can't wrap my head around the innocence that Araya was portraying.

Watch it if you want, you might enjoy it.

A TRAINWRECK INDEED.

I started watching this because I was curious about how the story will play out and because Revenge must be a genre in Lakorns, I gave in.

The story was a mess. The foundation was not thoroughly built that the plot crumbles in some aspects.

The male lead was so creepy and doubtful as hell from the beginning. I thought the female lead would be that smart bulb since she kind of figured it out but heck no. I also didn't see how they developed a kind of love for each other when one was hell-bent on revenge and the other was on the unfair receiving end of it. There were times that I wished that the female lead ends up with the doctor. He was the best son there.

If you want some fluffy romance plots, dream on. There's nothing here. The whole story was just so confusing that I fast-forwarded my way to the end.

Dome looked good here tho.

What can I say? This is one hell of a trainwreck.

From beginning to end, I just couldn't find the heart to understand any one of these characters (except Wee's Mom and Dad because they were adorable and fun). There's the FL who is too stubborn, imagine being a reporter and reporting crap in the very first episode then having the bravado to be high and mighty. The FL's tiny friend who was so stupid, really to be a reporter and not fact-check. My gosh, this all happened in the first 15 minutes. It's tiring but I started it so I had to finish it if it meant 34 hours of content fast-forwarded.

The ML is a cheat and rapist. No, I will never adore him.

The crazy girlfriend of the ML who had really had really bad company. If you have enabler friends, dump them or at least learn to not listen to them.

The story is just meh. Nothing grand. Everyone had problems here left and right. No absolute closure for all characters.

The cliché that always works.

I really enjoyed watching this drama. Like many of the commenters, I did put this one off a couple of times. I just wasn't feeling the vibe and all but I'm really glad that I finally downloaded it and took the leap. I enjoyed the slow burn romance the best. Yes, there were very irritating scenes, the constant push and pull get tiring and a bit too draggy at times but it made the ride much more enjoyable.

Here, you will focus on the growth of the characters and their respective personalities. You will come to understand their pains and struggles. Pisamai was indeed a pitiful character. She lost the man she loves in a way no one would imagine. I understood her but I did not agree with her. Love was supposed to be freeing and not suffocating like hers. In the end, she came to terms with it.

The mother was also annoying. The variety of characters just made this drama a lot better. I also appreciate that it was never too heavy to handle. They put comedy in all the right places. They made me hate and love the same people at the same time.

Prajak was a good ML, although at some times spineless but you can come to terms with it. He was doing it for his family, for the promises he made, he was, in his mind, being honorable. Wanida, our FL was a spunky girl with a good heart, she was gentle but she knows when to be mad or when to fight back.

Tho, the best character for me would be Khun Dao, Wanida's father. He loves his daughter like a gem. He was always looking out for her, guiding her, and backing her up. He did not raise her to be weak but he was always there to support her.

So, if you're just like me who keeps on putting this one off, don't be. Watch this gem and enjoy the ride. The quality will be shotty but I hope you'll stay for the story. Plus Tik's just an eye candy soooo. Go ahead!

COULD'VE BEEN BETTER

I think there should have been fewer episodes for this storyline. It was dragging and quite repetitive. Their characters were not constant and they keep on changing, from good to irritating to cold to heartless then loving again. They keep on misunderstanding each other and it really bothered me how forgiveness was so hard to get.

it would've been a great story had it been more straight to the point or at least a more clear way of storytelling.

There was, however, a thought that I really liked, Bua (the n' ek) stood by her words that everyone is equal and is deserving of equal treatment.

Light and easy watch, something you can binge watch on and enjoy!

I was looking for short yet fun lakorns to watch and I came across this one since it's part of a series.

I can say that it's what it is, it's short and easy to watch. There isn't that much irritating details or plot twists.

Hunsa, the FL, is adorable and it's funny how she stumbles on her words. She's such a mood and a character at times. I liked how positive she was and how she taught Tim, the ML, to be better. She's unique and bright but sometimes a little too hard on herself which is kind of irritating since I like relatively strong FLs but she doesn't really disappoint that much. Tim, sometimes tries to be that tough cookie when he really isn't. He will seem strong yet so vulnerable and there's a certain charm to it that way.

The story is straightforward, the pacing is good, and the interactions are brimming.

The music is catchy and it gets stuck sometimes in your head.

Overall it's a fun watch, would watch again for a rom com binge.

HEARTWARMING AND EYE OPENING

This story got me crying, laughing, loving, and understanding a few minutes away from each other. It's raw and real and sometimes it's scary how you understand the struggles and share with the pain. It's a drama that will warm your heart and make you feel understood. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's something so raw and real that it leaves an impression on everyone who gives it a chance.

The relationship between Sangtae, Gangtae, and Munyeong are all special in its own kind. The love that the brothers had for each other is one to emulate and live by. I admit that Sangtae sometimes has the best lines in this drama.

The second lead was not terrible or pathetic, she had her own story and she was strong too. the people surrounding our main leads are amazing, they supported them like no other and it was amazing to see.

I hated the mother but she had a bolt or two loose so I won't mind her anymore. Juri's momma was a delight, as in all of her roles. The best friend was such a dream, imagine following your friend and supporting him like that, if that's not love then what is? He is truly part of the family and deserving to be called 'hyung'.

My best advice yet? Give this a chance.

If you dare, please watch it and judge it yourself.

I honestly started without an expectation for this drama. I have dropped the original Korean version numerous times. It just wasn't the vibe for me but this one, I finished from episode 1 to 20. Some may say that this one under-performed compared to the original but I laughed, cried, and felt giddy with this drama. Maybe it's always about the perspective of the viewer.

I felt all the emotions that I should feel in all the right places. Yes, there were scenes from the original that I wanted to see her. I browsed through the original just to check if I would like it more than this but I really didn't. The leads here were great and I enjoyed them together. I would love them to have more dramas together.

I wish the story panned out a little bit more like the Korean one but this, this is just perfect for this also. I should not be that greedy anymore.

The OST was so soothing and I went gaga just trying to get an MP4 file of it.

If you dare, please watch it and judge it yourself.
