This has to be 1 of my fave couples. I mean Bin Bin and Janice together! Chemistry got nowhere to escape. And these 2 are 2 of my fave actors. They better not be ruining it with 49 side couples having 94% of screen time like Little Forest. Or I'll sue.
This Lakorn did what all contemporary ones don't. 90% screentime of Michael, topless 😂😂 Michael and Mook's chemistry is fail proof. But the Lakorn is so exhausting to watch because of this constant obsessive deranged behavior of Bua which is the central theme of the Lakorn. The girl is so batty with the goal of owning the praek that she'll be killing people and laughing like the 80's villains in her umpteenth incarnation, that too at the age of what 70(?). Like seriously, get a healthy hobby grams!
When I started the drama I thought it'll be one of those time in a village healing the heart burn kind with the cute piglet and sad misunderstood pig story intro. But it went south within 15 minutes.
I commend the writer's undertaking this genre mixed bad project and completing it without making it a total botch job. In spite of some issues like the pacing and proportioning of the 3 acts or the plot holes like the hits on Kang Ho being too few given the stature and reach of his enemies, it finished pretty decently. Rushed, yes. But not a hot mess or anything.
This wasn't perfect, but this was good still.
I enjoyed Kang Ho's recovery time in the village and Do Hyun and Eun Jin's cute chemistry the most. The family and neighborhood were obviously the motifs the writer seemed to be going for. The cast was stellar so the enjoyment came a lot from their acting and how their characters and interactions were written. Everyone but Mijoo was a flawed character. They envied, they helped, they needled, they loved one another. Like humans. Imperfect.
I disliked the mom despite her sad story, but the writer didn't justify her behavior like I assumed they would. Instead, they had her realize through the suffering of her child and made her acknowledge that her way of raising her son was not right and was the reason of the terrible consequences.
I am not satisfied with how easily Mijoo forgave rather begged and sought excuses to forgive Kang Ho though. this is just my personal opinion. I know why she did it. It's like her character, so sweet. But as a viewer I thought like Kang Ho's mother, he too involved a completely unaware person in his not-straightforward life and then dumped her without a clear explanation. I know, she didn't ask for one but he owed it to her. she didn't know the story of his plan. It was his responsibility to be transparent with the person who he was allowing to support him, monetarily and emotionally, during his prep. The path of his plan was unpredictable from the beginning even if he didn't know how messy, difficult and crime-ridden it'd be. It was humiliating and heart breaking for Mijoo to have gone through everything alone and then finding out the real reason so tricky that one can't even hate and penalize that person. What would've happened if he died or never recovered? Mijoo woul've never known and forever stayed in this "I was abandoned" state. I am not as forgiving as Mijoo, I am rather the other girl who helped her father in attempting to kill Kang Ho on the basis of a fake info. I understand kang ho had gone through enough pain in his life so didn't need another test from Mijoo. But she was never the reason of his hurts, it was the other way around.
I understand the mother's painful journey but that really shouldn't alleviate her robbing her son of all agency. When she thought he should be a prosecutor she made his childhood traumatic from overstrictness and now when she realized that he's on a path of revenge she's again burning all his long time labor when he's not even in the condition to argue or stop her. Pretty sure all will be explained away in the garb of mother's love.
I am at episode 13. And I am bored. Don't know what I am watching for anymore. The mystery solving of dad dude's murder is not interesting. The romance is a snoozer's waltz. Other than Mark and Bow's amazing chemistry, the pleasure of watching mark in a cute breezy character like this after a very long time and daddy Karn, there's nothing to keep me sticking to the end. These 3 reasons aren't enough for me to finish a 20 episode drama where mc's lovey dovey time doesn't stay for long times. This is really an ill blended mystery-romance where neither is attended properly. The seminal event of dad's murder is getting treated as an incidental one that is prop-ed in urgency, comedy, passing discussion, as not that important a matter to dig, to move along mc's relationship, etc. whenever wherever writer thought fit. The uncle and his family issues should've been disposed of faster than a pizza box. It's contributing nothing to either storyline. I can watch a flawed lakorn which all lakorns are but can't keep watching a boring one anymore. Wanted to finish for Mark and Bow and daddy karn but not today. Maybe after a break. First time dropping a Mark lakorn.
This whole we can't be with each other is such a bs here. What's the reason? Rina thinks Korn was fooling her but still seems to have forgiven him or at least she doesn't believe his love for her is fake and of course she loves him. So what's the hiccup here? Can you write a better obstacle, writer? This is too evasive. And Rina's character is getting fickle with time.
Is Rina cheating on Karn? I mean, she doesn't know his truth yet and it seems they have some kind of a romantic relationship though it's not explicitly defined. He treats her well except for not being able to defend her against his father which I think is a fail for a good relationship. But she keeps going back to him and seems to get over it all the time. So if there's no conflict, what she's doing with Korn at the moment is technically cheating on karn. She could hold these moments off until a clean breakup with karn if she caught feelings for Korn. I love Rina's character, but this is a bit iffy to me.
Why Rina's distress, her pain, her anger, her emotions, her losing her father's memories to that brat ka's whim is all fun and joke? Why when she's got caught by Karn for bugging him it was played as a funny scene with funny music in the car scene? Why this mood dissonance? Why everyone's including the writer bullying her for having a personality and not like being a doormat nagek? And why no one is slapping the shit out of that brat Ka? Oh, the father did. For wrong reasons. But serves her right.
Man, this Karn dude is too hot🔥🔥🔥Hope to see him as an ml or my husband 🤞 And I hate that Ka girl. She seems a bit pervy. And a bitch, badmouthing Rina like that.
p.s. I did try to watch it twice then paused for later.

I did like the drama. Will I rewatch? Don't know.
