Hello, ep 1, I don't remember the pregnant lady paid him, did she? I don't think he's a prostitute, he just fascinates…
I have not watched it and probably wont but the synopsis really left that impression. Of course since I did not watch it I might be wrong that is why I said "So basically he is a male prostitute that lives off of these 6 women??" as a question and not an affirmation. But since it has the mature tag my guess is he is going to get involved with them, in a very intimate way if you know what I mean. If you have only watched 1 episode maybe its too early to know. When you have watched more can you please spoil me as to what kind of relationship he has with all these women?
I found it quite slow paced and a little on the boring side. The focus was more on their jobs than their relationship and a lot of episodes they did not have even one scene together. I am not saying its bad, you might like it. But it definitely was not my cup of tea. Not even Xing Zhao Lin was able to make this interesting for me and I have liked most of his dramas so far.
Why do I feel that the synopsis is a summary of things that will take over half of the drama to happen??...which would mean it is a huge spoiler. Hopefully I am wrong, but from the pace of the first 2 episodes and the fact that the second male lead has not even showed up, yup it will take a lot of episodes for all of the things mentioned in the synopsis to happen.
EDIT: Ok, so some things happened faster than I thought, I have only watched 10 episodes. That is the thing tho, the first 5 or 6 episodes were extremely slow paced and then out of nowhere she accepts to marry the male lead? The story seems to be all over the place and so far I have not been able to get into the drama, and I had this on my plan to watch list for years but it is nothing like I expected and if the next few episodes continue going at this weird pace I might drop it.
Hmm, this is the kind of drama I would rather wait to be spoiled by the comments before I give it a try because I wont even waste my time if this is another story of a cheating husband and a female lead that will be crying half of the drama and trying to get revenge in the other half. Let’s wait and see. I really cant deal with cheating, there are enough jerks (men and women) in real life, I dont have to go through that in dramaland too.
I have literally watched hundreds of chinese dramas alone, not counting dramas from other countries. And this one I watched over half an year ago so recommending something similar wont be easy but I will try. Some dramas that might (or might not) give a similar vibe that I could find through my complete list and that I rated at least 7/10 are:
I know a bunch of other chinese school dramas but they either have a less dramatic vibe or I rated them under 7. The ones I mentioned above have at least 2 things in common with this one: main leads shown during both school life and as working adults and some dramatic happenings like being apart for several years, accidents and stuff.
Honestly, these kind of dramas are not really my cup of tea so I do not have a lot to recommend. Most of them I find draggy and end up skipping a lot of scenes. I am 25 years old so I kinda grew out of school dramas and prefer dramas with working adults, and the ones I do like are mostly the fluffy, romantic and funny kind of school dramas and not so much the dramatic ones.
Did you use the mobile app or desktop app and what kind of account do you have? It might also be a country issue although I tried using a vpn and still got the same error.
Yeah me too, but open endings can be either depending on how you see it, that is why I dont like them most of the times. I prefer to be sure of what happened and there were only a few dramas that managed to pull a well done open ending that I was not angry with because it was interesting. If given the choice I will pick happy ending every time.
Yeah, most likely. Usually chinese school dramas have either happy endings or open endings. Tragic or sad endings are more often seen in historical ones. Although depending on the ending I sometimes prefer a tragic ending than an open ending.
There is no way that dead woman is Dong Baek. I mean, its possible but I doubt the writers will pull that one knowing the consequences - aka angry viewers. The easy option is Hyang Mi since she is a kleptomaniac and as far as I have watched we only see the bracelet, we did not even see the woman’s hair. And the hands of Dong Baek look a little rougher than the ones from the dead woman. But like I said, that is the easy way which is very predictable.
Another option is for it to be some random woman who happens to own the same bracelet since that bracelet is a cheap one that you get from one of those crane machines. And who knows, maybe her ex-boyfriend got more than one of those and gave it to his wife and she is the dead woman. There are many options, and I honestly hope it is not Dong Baek because I would feel sorry for her son and not Hyang Mi because it is just too predictable. Please, surprise me.
This one seems like my kind of thai drama and I really like the choice of actors for the main characters. Cant wait until it airs, but for now it is good to know that it will be subbed. Imagine waiting for a drama to air just to never have it subbed...has happened before.
This drama has one of the most spammed comment sections. I think that says a lot about how most people feel about it. Until it ends a lot can happen, but so far this has been one of the best kdramas I have watched in a while. The hype is real. ^^
I did not find it in the app. Have you actually watched it there or were you suggesting a place to look for this drama?
Edit: I found it under a different name - Great Marriage. But it gives me an error when I try to watch it, maybe the episodes were removed or something.
I believe the funny comments of the subber have a part in the overall rating of the drama, otherwise it would have a lower rating. I hate misunderstandings but I know they are necessary to create conflicts and prolong the drama but this one took it to another level.
After the half way point the misunderstandings were happening one after another and it became extremely painful to watch. I forgot her name cause that is how much I cared about her, but the second female lead was obstinate to no end and had serious mental issues. She was the kind of person that in real life would have gotten a restraining order in no time and still keep violating it and only be locked up after it was too late for the person who she was stalking. I know these kind of antagonists are very common in dramaland, in fact this drama had plenty of cliché tropes, but this one was just ughhh. I am not a violent person but if I met someone like her in real life, I would probably slap her. And as usual the male lead was this dumb dude who knew how to say no but never actually took a definite action against her.
Like, do restraining orders not exist in dramaland? And like I said I hate violence, but she deserved a few (actually a lot but I dont want to be savage) slaps.
I completely forgot any sweet moments between the main leads because they were overpowered by the amount of misunderstandings and dramatic happenings...what a shame.
It’s fluffy and cute and an option if you have nothing better to watch. But the lack of a deeper plot or character development made it impossible to not skip scenes after I was half way into the drama. I pretty much skipped every scene that did not have the main leads and I had it on hold since ep 14 for a few weeks and completed a bunch of other dramas before I came back to this one. It is not bad per say, it just isnt a memorable story and once you watch it once you probably wont watch it again. As usual I found the first few episodes interesting but since there were no big conflicts or enough things happening, it just became boring.
why did they change the female lead and the second female lead, it going to make this difficult to watch.
I ended up not watching the first season because of that. I only read about it. I knew it would be weird to watch the second season with different actresses and since they would mention things that happened in the first season, it was not confusing to watch only the second season. The actresses were probably busy with other dramas or something so they had to replace them.
Love is not only about who makes your heart beat. That is passion not love. Chalam is all that Tantawan wish Peng…
The changes Peng made were not huge ones so he could keep being like that, especially when he realised he wanted a family with Tawan. Conceding on small things is part of a healthy relationship. A relationship where only one sacrifices or neither of them sacrifices does not work.
I also do not like that he hid the truth, cause he even lied to the police and thats a crime, but I can understand he did it to protect her since she lost her memory and was suffering from PTSD, telling her the truth right there and then could cause her to go into shock and have a heart attack or fall into a coma, it was unpredictable and Peng did not want to take the risk of losing her.

Really? Well, then the writers did not pace things well because it really felt like Chalam was a last minute choice. Yeah, it was muse, who subbed this drama, that wrote a post showing the current airing dramas rating in Thailand and My Ambulance was either last or second last.
I never said I would? Everyone is allowed to comment even if they dont watch the drama. If my comment offended you somehow then ignoring it was an option, you know? Plus, I originally found the drama world thanks to anime and Japanese culture, which I really like, I am not attacking the Japanese culture as a whole. I still watch jdramas, just not as much as dramas from other countries for the simple fact japanese dramas are more and more often going for morally shocking content to be different, and for me 90 per cent of the times I see an infidelity, cheating, rape, etc tag, I run, unless the summary or trailer convinces me it is not as bad as it looks.
I miss the old school dramas and anime where what mattered the most was the story and characters being interesting enough to keep me watching, now it seems everything is becoming sexualized, and this is not a problem with only japanese content, it is in general, Japan just happens to be one of the countries that does it the most. But that does not mean I hate the country or its culture. I studied japanese, I still listen to japanese music and once in a while, although not as often, I watch japanese dramas and movies. So if you thought I was attacking the japanse culture, that was not what I was doing.
Xing Zhao Lin was able to make this interesting for me and I have liked most of his dramas so far.
