Honestly, at first I was not going to watch it because I read some spoilers and knew more or less how things were going to end. That together with seeing the Tragedy tag up there it put me off so I set this as "not interested". But I have watched most of Chompoo’s dramas and for some reason I like to see her on screen (no, its not only because she is pretty, its something about her acting that makes it enjoyable). So I decided to give this a chance later. Although not amazing or anything I don’t regret watching it either.

What I liked about it was how their portrayal of Revenge was more realistic and had a sort of "moral of the story" for the viewers. In most Revenge dramas (at least thai ones) either have the person give up on the revenge midway, being found out too early or going through with it but being easily forgiven at the end and happy ever after for everyone or most characters.

I don‘t want to give away too much since this comment is already a borderline spoiler but let’s just say this one is not a copy paste from other revenge lakorns.

The truth is in real life resentment and getting revenge are things that hurt everyone around us and the target of our resentment/revenge and usually the one who gets the most hurt in the end of the day is the person who holds those bad feelings inside and act on them.

So if you have watched a lot of Revenge dramas and are tired of them always ending the same way, this drama is for you.

I have only watched the first 6 episodes and put this on hold for several months now. I just felt I was forcing myself to watch it. And looking at the comments and the low rating, especially for a korean drama, I guess it does not get better. I will probably just fast-forward a lot and finish it cause I hate leaving a drama like this when I already invested some time.

Ok.

Reasons to watch this:

- Female lead that is a confident talented working woman that stands up for herself (although she has little control over her emotions, especially when someone gets on her nerves);
- Plenty of real kisses that are not simply lips touching and that are rare in thai dramas;
- Surprising twist (maybe not that surprising since I kinda guessed it pretty early in the story).

Reasons to NOT watch this:

- Almost everything else about it. I am sorry but they had such a good start why did they have to mess it up in the last episodes? They managed to avoid so many clichés in the first half so why did they add them in the second half? This was standing out from the crowd and then for some reason, maybe lack of other ideas to drag the story, they just decided to make the second half and ending not special at all and just as meh as any other thai drama. Was quite disappointed.

Neko Meow Meow is subbing it, you can find the link in the comment below. So far 2 episodes are fully subbed.

Just by reading the summary I already don’t like the female lead. She is married, her husband loves her but she is not satisfied and goes after not 1 but several other men, hmm, that has another name.

Am I the only one who has been waiting the longest time to watch this? So far there are only 4 episodes subbed, with the 4th one not being completely subbed yet. The person doing the subs picked this one up in July 2018 and so far only 4/24 episodes are subbed. I have no idea when I will be able to watch this. :(

At first I almost dropped it since I could not feel connected to the characters (which could have partially been caused by the fact most of the actors I have never seen or rarely seen before in other thai dramas). But I kind of got into the story and could see it’s charm by the end of the first episode (ok, maybe seeing the main lead shirtless might have to do with that).

Unfortunately and as I should have expected, not only the story was boring at times and did not stand out compared to other thai dramas I have watched, but they also kept adding clichés that were not necessary and made it harder and harder for me to keep watching, especially in the last episodes. Although I liked the romance between the main leads and could see how genuinely the male lead loved her, by the end I was not sure if I was glad I watched it or if it was not really worth my time.

So yeah, I have mixed feelings about this one. If you have not watched many thai dramas yet you might think this is awesome, but if like me you have watched plenty of them, you will probably feel like fast-forwarding at some point and might be disappointed with the last episodes.

I tried watching the first episode and was not able to continue. Like most people in the comments have said, this is ridiculous. Ridiculous is the perfect word to describe it.

Just the first episode and we were already forced to watch some of the most annoying clichés of thai dramas, screaming and yelling and people acting crazy and people seeing the character act crazy but still believing that someone they dont know well and that did nothing to make it look like she is a bad person, is actually evil just because my crazy jealous sister said so.

If the first episode was already this frustrating to watch, I can only imagine how much worse its going to get. I have watched way too many thai dramas to be able to go through this one when I can already predict I would drop it later anyway, so I might as well stop now and not waste my time.

Let me tell you that this is far from perfect. There are several clichés and it is not that different from any other lakorn. Like someone else said in the comments, the rape was completely unnecessary to the plot and is an awful thing that seems to be seen as less of a crime in Thailand compared to other countries. But the way it was shown was still less disgusting and violent than most slap and kiss lakorns out there, and to make us all feel better, I believe the female lead was crying more because she was conflicted with her feelings and what decision to make rather than the male lead forcing himself on her. (this is not really a spoiler since the tag Rape was added to this drama).

But those things aside, I was still pretty entertained. The main leads were both characters full of flaws, they legit deserved each other cause both in one way or another spent their life lying and tricking people. The male lead was a playboy that would lie and trick women just so he could sleep with them and did not seem to care much about how they would feel after. The female lead tricked people out of their money with her fortune telling even using it for her plan to con 40 million baht off a person. She also plotted an evil plan to force the male lead to marry her just so she could force him to ask for divorce later for her to get the money (soon enough the reasons for why she did this are revealed to the viewers, but it does not excuse her behaviour which we would usually see in the scheming second female lead of any other lakorn). Seeing these 2 huge liars that at first cant stand the sight of each other fall in love was entertaining by itself.

The second thing that made this enjoyable was all the hilarious moments we were given, mainly because of the main lead’s desire to win over each other in everything, especially making the other want to divorce. The behind the scenes at the end of the last episode, although short, were also funny and a good way to wrap this up.

So overall, I would still recommend it if you keep in mind that neither of the main leads is a "good" person per say, morally speaking, and the fact that there is rape even if it does not look as bad as in other thai dramas.

I know what you mean. I guess that is why I thought this was one of the best thai dramas I have watched. Fushigi yugi is one of my favourite animes and I have lost count how many times I have watched it.

Beautiful, one of the best written thai dramas. I usually don’t watch this kind of thai drama because they are full of supernatural elements and superstitions that I personally find silly (not trying to be disrespectful to the culture, just giving my honest opinion) and historical thai dramas also tend to be even more draggy than the ones that happen in the modern day. But guess what? I was pleasantly surprised. Of course it had its faults and honestly I skipped most of the scenes that happened in the present cause I could not care less about them. I only watched a few to keep track of things. But the ones in the past I was never able to fast-forward since I was enjoying it so much.

A few things I think made this enjoyable (between so many others):
- They stayed away from some of the most annoying lakorn clichés. There were no evil characters, only ones with bad intentions. The male lead’s mother at first looked like she would be evil or just be there for the sake of complicating things (like in 99 per cent of lakorns out there), the opposite, although she was strict, she honestly loved the female lead and treated her as if she was her daughter and she did not interfere too much in the leads relationship as to make it annoying. Also, no evil, jealous, crazy or scheming second female lead. She is as sweet as her name, Prayong (flower in thai), and she becomes good friends with the female lead even tho they have such different personalities and both like the male lead. Even the second female lead’s mother tried to be evil but she ended up looking just like a good person that momentarily had lack of judgement because of her love for her daughter (which also makes it more understandable).

- Although some people mentioned in the comments that they wish the female lead was more mature and intelligent so she could be more helpful and so it would make more sense for her to be chosen to be sent to the past, I actually am glad that she was intelligent (speaks 3 foreign languages aside from thai, cant be called dumb) but not too much and that she was quite childish and silly at times. This not only created many funny situations but was also what made her stand out and earn the love of everyone, including the male lead.

- The male lead was just too cute. He was not perfect, he was selfish at times and a little possessive too, but he honestly loved the female lead and seeing him treating her with so much respect, without ever forcing himself on her and even acting shy and blushing was a breath of fresh air. Most lakorns have the same kind of male lead and most of them are not the pleasant kind. In real life, at least in my country, most of them would be seen as perverts and criminals and no sane woman would want to be with them.

- The way the story was written made it so that even if this had a slow pace and there was not a lot of skinship/kisses, it does not matter, because you just want to keep watching.

It is a good rom-com. But I would actually recommend it more because of the comedy part. There is also some dramatic moments and fights as any other thai drama but overall it manages to stay away from a few clichés and annoying plot devices. There are some real kisses too, which you can only see in some of the dramas aired by Channel 3.

Ok.

Have you found them or do you still need help?

Honestly, why 22 episodes and how does this have such a high rating? I found this to be one of the thai dramas with the slowest pace I have seen and the romance was not satisfying at all, mainly because they brought back to the story a character that should have only been there in the first episode and never show up again. It could have been a lot better, it lacked in many departments.

Not a bad drama but you have to be in a certain mood to watch it as there is a lot of frustrating things as you would expect from this kind of plot. I liked the male lead, he had his flaws too but he believed in the female lead more than what her jealous behaviour deserved and he was the only faithful man around. The female lead had a lot of flaws but she had such a hard life and so many bad experiences that I think anyone else would have trust issues too, just maybe not act like her. Even the second female lead, as frustrating as her character is, had some good in her, it was very little but her life was no easy either. I would say both female leads actions were the result of jealousy, one chose to play the role of the jealous controlling wife become and the other became evil and lost all self-respect and dignity (if there was any left). All because of jealousy together with bad past experiences.

So like I said, not a bad drama, the characters actions seem to have more reason than most thai dramas but you have to be in the mood for it. After watching this I feel like I need to watch something sweet without too many evil characters or complications.

I cannot find my comment either, dont know what happened but yeah, this was not the first one I watched twice before. I have been watching dramas for so many years now but I only joined MDL about 2 years ago so before I had no way to keep track of what I had watched before unless I remembered the drama clearly.

I am so thankful to the people that take time to leave comments, especially ones with spoilers so I can read them and identify trash scripts before I give a drama a try. There are some things I stay away from and when I see them being mentioned in the comments I don’t waste my time giving the drama a try. I am especially selective with thai dramas since the cultural differences make it so many thai dramas are just disgusting or completely boring to me.

Nice. Welcome to the group! :)

I have watched all of the dramas she has subbed so far except from Unexpected since I would rather wait for it to be fully subbed before I start watching.
