I ended up watching anyway but it was not that amazing. Probably Netflix’s fault for only airing 7 episodes that were basically just the start of the story. And now we are all supposed to wait a year or so to watch the rest. That is if they do not split it into more seasons. If you want to split something into seasons like american series, each season has to have at least 15-20 eps. How is 7 eps even enough to consider this a season? Once the second season comes out I will probably have forgotten most of the stuff I just watched.

This is why I will never go for a paid subscription. I will just keep signing up for the free trial whenever there is something I want to watch that is nowhere else. You troll me, I troll you.

I am not saying they did not love each other. The problem to me is the writing. At a certain point the whole story just felt like the female lead being chased by the villagers every 5 minutes while the male lead tries to protect her but has no clue what is going on. I went from enjoying the story and their romance to just being annoyed with all that was happening. I also did not like the ending.

Netflix is trolling people all over the world. Gives you 6 eps of a drama, just to give you the rest a year later. And the thing is, they might even make this have a 3rd season just to level up the trolling.

Everyone has their preferences. But I have seen a lot of thai dramas with this plot line of loving each other in every life time, and this one was disappointing to me.

The male lead‘s love did not feel genuine. He fell for her just because she looked like the woman in his dreams. And he was so set on being with her that he had no idea what was going on around him. It was pretty obvious who she was, everyone knew it but he kept acting like nothing was going on. And what bothered me was the fact that the writers made him for 1- go around having sex with someone else, even before he slept with the female lead and 2-be the one to betray her and pretty much giving her to the villagers because he was so dumb that he was convinced that she was not a snake when there had been so many situations where he should have figured it out. He did not believe it until it was right in front of his eyes.

These 2 things for me killed the romance. Its not the actors fault and there were some scenes I liked, until the writers decided to ruin everything. That is why I think this could have been good, but it wasnt.

I have no idea how this is still not available in sites like dramanice and kissasian when both the raws and subs are easy to find. I am just too lazy to download them and do a little sync because the subs are from Netflix and the raws are from mgtv. And I know they know how to get both raws and subs fron Netflix directly, even I know how to do it, so I guess they are either being lazy or have not noticed how many people are interested in this.

If this was Netflix’s strategy to get more subscribers, it’s working. I guess I will go for the free trial just so I can watch this. Sigh

The problem is that what we consider underweight is what is seen as healthy weight in asian countries. :(

Yeah. The entertainment industry likes to romanticize things like possessiveness, rape, kidnapping and even murder. Cause hey, aint it attractive when a man kidnaps you, rapes you and kills anyone who gets in his way?! Sigh

I had once started this but dropped it only after 1 episode. Not sure why I did it. Might have been for the low quality or for the fact that I had to download the episodes if I wanted to watch at the time.

But today I tried it again and binge-watched it. The story has its flaws as any lakorn, but the premise of the female lead being a not so good person that is driven by revenge and being pretty smart in her plots kind of attracted me. It was a different kind of plot. I knew the story would not end well, but until a few episodes before the end I still hoped things went in a different direction. But the ending was what I expected. I cried a lot during the last episode.

I will be adding the tragedy tag to this so people watching in the future will be ready for what is coming.

I wish there was more of the main leads together. Especially in the last half or so there were fewer scenes of them. But I understand that considering all the circumstances, it would be hard for that to happen. I am satisfied with the ending tho.

This was more about slavery and how it slowly came to an end, but that is also a main point in the romance as otherwise the main leads would never be able to be together.

It is basically the female lead having nightmares and hallucinations and seeing ghosts and some gory stuff that is not actually there. It is not super scary or gross, but depending on how you feel about horror stuff, then yeah, you might as well wait for the daylight. It is only the 1st episode tho. At least from what I remember.

Yeah. And they eat up so much RAM that it is crazy. Even after uninstalling you are left with a slower computer.

Yeah, and recently there have been a lot of thai dramas that stray from the slap and kiss trope. Last year I watched quite a few thai dramas that had a cute love story where the male lead was super nice. No kidnapping, no rape, no cheating, no treating the female lead like a possession. ^ ^

Why sorry? You have been uploading an episode everyday or so, that is not slow. And the quality is good enough. I have watched thai dramas with lower quality than that. Thank you for uploading these episodes or I, menomana and whoever finds your blog might have never had the opportunity to watch this.

And since you have uploaded all the episodes, now I know what to watch while having breakfast. I was worried cause most dramas I am watching right now are still airing and I didnt know what to watch. Thank you! ^ ^

I think I might be entering that phase too. I started with kdramas, then slowly started watching chinese and thai too. At first I disliked most thai dramas. I was not used to the language, it sounded weird, the style was also very different with all the slap and kiss, yelling and stuff. But in the past few years I started to watch more and more chinese and thai dramas and when I think about it, the last year or so I have probably watched more thai dramas than kdramas. There were still some great ones I watched last year but I have been feeling bored more and more often while watching korean dramas. Might be because the whole CEO handsome male lead vs poor and not so good looking female lead recipe has been user over and over again. Lol

I have probably watched about 100 thai dramas last year, and I am not exaggerating. I have a lot of time on my hands since I work as a freelancer. XD

Ikr, I need to know before I decide if I want to keep watching the remake. My guess is as this is almost as old as me, she most definitely ends up with her manwhore of a husband.

I have only watched the first 2 eps and I am not sure if I want to keep watching. I cannot stand people like the male lead, and honestly find them disgusting. Because it is not just about sleeping around. It is also the other things you do to keep that lifestyle, like lying. A person like him, even if he drops the mistresses at some point to stop his wife from leaving, sooner or later he will cheat on her again. He will only need an opportunity and an easy woman just like him.

If she ended up with the second male lead, then that would be another story. But my experience watching lakorns tells me she will end up with her manwhore of a husband. And that is making me question if I should keep watching or not.

I will be honest, I skipped A LOT, entire episodes even.

I was really bothered by the female lead’s attitude. A baby’s life is not to be taken so lightly that you would decide on an abortion just because the baby is arriving at a not so convenient time. And then just as fast as you decide on it, you decide not to do it, again making that decision on a whim, as if you are trying to decide if you are going to buy that piece of clothing or leave the store empty handed.

The first 3 episodes are kind of boring and all over the place. It gets better in episode 4, so maybe it will not be as bad in the following episodes. Also, the male lead is not a rescue worker like the synopsis says. He has another job and becomes a rescue worker for the wrong reasons. That is why I myself am not sure how I feel about this drama. Hopefully, it will get better. The preview at the end of ep 4 makes me believe it will.

The first 3 episodes were meh, then ep 4 picked up the pace a little and had those funny/scary scenes at the hospital. The male lead is also finally doing the job the synopsis talks about, but I just don’t like his reasoning. I went in believing he was someone who had a great job saving people, but it turns out he is just someone doing it for selfish reasons, at least for now. So I am still not sure how I feel about this drama. I need to watch more episodes before I decide.

My experience with kdramas tells me that yes, this will be only 1 season, but the chances of it being 10 episodes or less is extremely low. Most kdramas have at least 16 episodes, that is the most common number. Some have more and once in a while there will be a kdrama with like 12 eps. Below that they are usually called Specials. I don’t think it is the case for this one, so there is a really high chance this will have 16 eps or more, not less.

What I usually do when I am not sure about a drama is watching the 1st ep, sometimes watching a few more if I am still unsure. If it grabs my attention then I watch it. ^^
