I am pretty sure I have watched a drama in the past that started exactly like this. The female lead needed to be married for work and the male lead was being forced into dating by his mother and out of frustration decides to pretend to be the female lead’s husband.

Cannot remember the name of the drama but almost thought this was a remake since it has so many similarities.

I have watched many chinese dramas with only 24 episodes. But yeah, even 30 would have been better than 40. For me the 3rd couple was not even needed, I did not care much about them. The romance between the main leads and between the sister and the rescue guy was enough. There was no need for a 3rd couple, and one that took A LOT of screen time too.

That might be it. As a viewer I felt like I was not taken seriously. I am a picky watcher. I like intelligent plots with as little holes as possible. I was not amazed at the way the story was told.

I wanted to like this since it has a great cast and themes that I have watched before and liked. But for some reason I found the pace and the way the story was told boring most of the time. Probably would have been better with about half of the episodes and maybe removing one of the couples or at least focusing less on them.

If this was 24 episodes long instead of 40 it would have been a lot easier to watch and enjoy.

I am not talking about the plot being confusing, but the way the drama felt like it was amazing at times and then it felt like a really bad drama at other times. Like I said, almost like 2 different people wrote the plot.

What left me confused was not the plot itself but the feeling the drama gave me. By the end of it I was not sure I had just watched a good drama or a really bad one. I think it was the exectution and the way some characters were written that made me feel this way about the drama as a whole.

This feels like it was written by two different writers, an experienced one and one that had just started writing and had no idea what he was doing. It was messy, cliché, cringy, with unlikeable characters and characters made out of cardboard.

At first it looked like it was going to be a good drama but at some point I felt like I was watching a really bad drama that I could not wait to finish because I was so done with it. Very confusing.

Started well, seemed like something new and different. Great cast too.

But for some reason I started slowly losing interest around the 3rd week or so. I kept watching but it was not a drama that I could not wait to watch the next episode. There were a few clichés thrown here and there that made the plot predictable and boring, some characters did not have a proper backstory or a proper ending, the love triangle was one of the worst I have seen, the last few episodes were disappointing, and so on.

Overall, it did not meet the expectations I had when I first started watching.

Yup, I agree. I don’t think I would be able to forgive something like that. I may forgive the person but I would not be able to be in a romantic relationship with that person anymore.

I think it is jealousy. They see him being nice and want that for them. But it is really dumb. Think about it. If you get him to cheat on his partner with you, what makes you think he won’t cheat on you when you are the girlfriend/wife?

I know. This woman really got on my nerves. So many men around, including the second male lead and she has to go for a man who is about to get married. Grrrr

We also have that expression in Portuguese. Mal parida would mean something like her birth did not go well so she ended up like this. It is also another way to say that it was a waste for that person to be born, aka a bitch. ^^'

Damn, longer than most movies.

This was not great. The plot is very cliché since it is an older drama.

Thai dramas are harder to find subbed compared to other asian dramas, but some years ago it was worse. Now there are quite a few thai dramas that are being subbed by fansubers.

This one has been subbed by nekomeowmeow if you want to watch it.

I honestly have not seen her sing well any kind of note or maybe I did at some point when I watched the show and cannot remember. The question is if that is enough for her to be a singer. A singer should be able to sing several notes, not just lower notes. Lower notes are usually easier to sing anyway compared to high notes.

Like I said, I am not a hater and I know she will never read my comments and get hurt by them. If I thought there was any chance my comments here would be read by her and could hurt her in any way, I would have never left them. If I said these things on her social media or somewhere I thought she could read, then yeah, that would be really mean although it is my honest opinion. When it comes to social media, it is better to not say anything if there is nothing good to say. The entertainment world already has too many suicides caused by haters online, and I despise such people that hurt someone to the point of them feeling like death is the only way out.

I did not mean she is completely untalented, I just think she is not particularly talented when it comes to singing. Maybe she can do well in acting or modeling or other things. But this is only my opinion. It is normal for people to have different opinions.

Hope you have a nice day too. ^^

Yup. It works both ways. In real life both of them would probably be in jail. ^^'

It has been 4 years so I don’t remember the plot but if the FL did not consent, it was rape.

Does not matter if they are married. There is a thing called marital rape. As long as one of the people involved does not consent, it is considered rape and it is a crime.

I have watched many lakorns where this happens and because it is a drama, I pretend it is not as serious as it is, but in real life many of these male leads could have gone to jail if the FL decided to go to the police.

It has been quite some time since I watched the show but I don‘t remember her being good at singing at any point. Maybe she was not as bad at singing R&B, but from that to being a talented singer goes a long way. Also, from all the music videos of them, she is always the one who sings the least and is always in some position where she is not as obvious when they are dancing. The few times she is shown she is usually just there looking pretty.

If we look at it from a talent perspective, she should have never made it into the group and the girl who got first place would also not have been the one to get first place. It was pretty obvious Korean people valued looks as much if not more than talent when they voted. One of the most talented girls of the group almost did not make it into the group because people were so worried about voting on the one they thought was the prettiest or the cutest.

But yeah, if she really wants to do it and puts effort into it, she might be able to get better. In Produce 101 Kim So-hye was also not that good but she put so much effort into it and worked so hard that she was able to join I.O.I
The difference for me was that Kim So-hye was clearly putting in the work and was showing obvious signs of improvement, which is why she made it into the group. It was all thanks to her efforts and she deserved to get into the final group.

I did not see that with Kang Hye Won, or at least her effort and improvement were not as obvious.

I had no idea. I have only heard him on the radio and stuff and thought he had some great songs and a nice voice. Thought it had always been like that.

Hopefully. Like I said, I am not a hater. I hope she can find something she likes and is good at.

Acting is something that even if you are not naturally talented, with practice and effort it is possible to be a decent actor. Singing and dancing is harder to do if you have no talent for it, especially singing.

Really? Ed Sheeran has a nice voice tho. Maybe he just needed singing lessons to improve. Kang Hye Won is not naturally talented when it comes to singing so even with singing lessons and a lot of practice it would be hard for her to sing well.
