I liked the first season. It was short so it was an easy watch. Now I am going to start the second season, hoping it does not disappoint me.

I am sorry if this is going to offend someone who likes this but from watching the trailer, reading about the story and mainly from reading the spoilers this seems like 53 episodes of all the garbage I hate in dramas. From what I have read this has a fake selfish "friend", a male lead that likes one girl but dates the other, a second male lead that plays with other people’s feelings, and so on. I hate all these things and having them all together in a drama that is 53 episodes long, nope, I’m out.

Although at first I skipped quite a few scenes because it was mostly showing competitions, preparation for competitions and the male lead remembering things from his past, it did not take long for me to get used to them and the main leads made such a cute couple that even tho this is already pretty long with 41 episodes, I could not get enough of them and would not mind watching more. If there is a second season, count me in.

Although this has fun in the title, this was not fun at all. Yes, it is watchable and yes, there is a moral of the story kind of plot but it was not very entertaining as 1- I had a hard time standing the female lead’s behaviour and how the male lead could be so in love with someone so selfish and unaware of her surroundings and 2- I knew from the beginning what the moral of the story would be and found it to be so obvious that one should not have to go through everything the female lead went to realise it. There is no perfect life, everyone has their struggles, faults, traumas, and so on.

So yeah, it is not that this is bad, it was just so predictable and boring, with this plot they could have made it more exciting but they just made it boring to watch most of the time.

I agree with what everyone else is saying. I liked most of it, mainly because of the female lead. But the last few episodes, especially the last one, were very rushed and a lot of things I was expecting to be addressed weren’t. I think this was supposed to be 14 episodes long so the pace and wrapping up of the drama suffered a lot when it was cut down to 11 episodes.

It’s ok, it can happen. I watched it on youtube just skipping a lot of things and I would not want to watch it anyway, too frustrating. I don’t like it when the other female lead interferes too much in the relationship and this was an example of that.

I understand that you want to leave your thoughts on the low rating, I was wondering why it was so low too but your comment is a HUGE spoiler to the point I don’t even feel like watching anymore since you gave away pretty much the entire plot and it does not seem like a fun ride.

Please, mark your comment as a spoiler so people will be aware that it is a spoiler before they read it.

I did too at some point, even if the main leads were the cutest together. I was hoping until the end that another Bell would show up to heal Chakrit’s broken heart. But the writers had other plans for his character. T T

I could not help but feel really bad for Chakrit. At least the main leads had each other, but Chakrit never got to be loved. The father he looked up to ignored him his whole life and turned out to not even be his real father, his mother kept forcing him to do whatever she said even if he was against it and was never a caring mother, he almost killed his real father and only got to know the truth a few minutes before his own mother killed him. I loved the main leads together but part of me was hoping that another Bell would show up to heal the broken Chakrit...instead the writers decided to kill him. RIP T T

You would think the most pitiful character would be either Bell, Nai Noi or both BUT...

Maybe I missed the part when he said that. I try to think that in the future one of them would see things differently and everything would be ok, because otherwise there is no way their relationship would survive.

I really liked the main leads and their relationship and the male lead was one of the nicest I have seen in thai dramas. But I was also put off by all the supernatural stuff, they made me cringe and I skipped most of it. So overall I can’t say I did not like it because of the main leads but I would not re-watch it since the supernatural theme was not my cup of tea.

It has 6 episodes with each being as long as a movie, about 90 minutes. It is like they put all the important things together and left out what was not necessary to understand the plot and the characters actions. I did not like the drama, so I doubt I would have been able to watch it all if it was not for the short version, and even in the short version I skipped a lot of scenes. So it depends on your personal preferences. Maybe try watching the long version and if you feel it is dragging and you’re bored, you can just switch to the short version.

Yeah, the romance between both the main leads and the second female lead and her husband were not explored properly, to the point I thought the best romance was probably the third female lead with the actor. It’s like the writers did not know exactly what to do. And the way the main leads got back together after breaking up was so anti-climatic. He still wants to get married and she still does not want to marry. So sooner or later their relationship will be shaky again. What they needed to understand is that in a relationship both have to concede, so I was expecting something like he saying he does not need to get married as long as he is with her or her saying she loves him so much that she is ok with marriage if its him. But no, they missed each other and got back together but nothing was solved, the conflict of interests still exists.

So yeah, this drama had quite a few issues that I could not ignore.

I never understood why the male lead liked her so much. He was so in love with her that I thought there was a deep past, like her being his first love or them meeting when they were younger or something, but that was never explored. I still don’t understand why, how and when did he fall for her. Did I miss something?

To be honest I liked the first half but the second half was just not that interesting. The ending seemed more like something you would see in a music video and I am not sure why they thought it was good idea to finish like that.

Maybe if I had watched it while it was airing I would have liked it more. I liked some episodes but others felt like I was forcing myself to watch. Around episode 20 or so I started getting tired and did not pick this up for months, and that says a lot about how much I liked it. It is not a bad drama, but it is just not the type of drama you can binge watch. I personally thought that as usual from chinese dramas, this was just too long so I got bored midway and kind of gave up on it because there were other dramas I was watching that I found more interesting.

If you can, watch it as if it was airing, a few episodes at a time.

I am sure this is a really good movie but I have watched way too many tragedies, a lot of them with terminal illnesses so I don’t think I will be able to watch another one. I would probably start crying the moment they meet because I already know how it is going to end. T T

Yeah, I though so too but when I clicked it the subs were showing. There is in fact 1 episode that was not subbed for some reason - ep 26. But I just watched it like that because the subbers probably wont bother to go back to that episode to sub it when they have already finished the last episode. I would probably be waiting for nothing so I just watched it raw. The others were all subbed tho.

Anyone who complained about fat shaming or anything similar clearly did not watch more than the 1st episode. This was very realistic in the portrayal of how most fat people see themselves and how society sees them, especially when it comes to South Korea where what is considered the average weight and desirable body type is what most countries consider thin and even underweight. So imagine how it is to live in South Korea when you’re overweight, 40 years old and have a jerk of a husband, so no, the first episode was not the writers being harsh or fat shaming, it was actually realistic ("the perfume" being an exception).

I had fun, my heart ached and I definitely saw a few lessons being presented to the viewers. I was expecting more from the ending but I liked something about it that dramas with similar concepts have failed to do. The message of this drama is NOT that you have to be young, thin and beautiful to be happy. What this drama shows is that it is never too late to follow your dreams, that you should accept and love yourself the way you are and that even if some were not able to see your worth, others might have seen it from the beginning and like you just the way you are.

So yeah, I would say this was a pretty good drama and I will possibly re-watch it in the future.
