I have finished this one and although it is nothing special, it was a smart move to make is short. Unfortunately for whoever created this drama, as usual, MGTV gave us subs that even google translator is ashamed of.

So for me what made it pretty much unwatchable was not actually the plot but the horrible subs.

Yeah. Btw, your profile gif caught my attention since I loved The Romance of Tiger and Rose and after checking your profile I found we have a lot in common. I also think Zhao Lu Si makes any drama enjoyable and so does Park Bo Young, I especially liked her in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.

Vampire Knight was also one of my first animes and I remember reading the manga just to get some closure since they only made 2 seasons. Technically tho, if I go back to my childhood years, my first ever anime was Sailor Moon. I was born in 1994 and in my country it started airing around the year 1999 so of course the 5 year old me fell in love with it. ^^

My favorite genres are also the same as yours. If I ever want to pick the next drama to watch, I guess I will just visit your profile and check what you are watching. XD

About the kiss between the kids. I went back to watch the first episode since I did not remember seeing them kiss and in fact the actors did not kiss.

They show her touching his face and then they show her feet and him dropping what he was holding indicating she had leaned in to kiss him. And then it cuts to a full body scene that is very fast and it seems like the end of the kiss, but if you look closely, their mouths did not actually touch. I think they might have used the hold trick of kissing their own finger or it was a camera angle, but it definitely looked like a fake kiss.

But I agree with you when it comes to the plot. 16 episodes and most of the time I felt like nothing was happening.

As much as I loved the character of the male lead and their moments together, I found the plot to be very....empty? I am not sure how to explain this but I felt like in 16 episodes, which translated to around 16 hours, not much happened. This story could literally be told in a 2 hour long movie and nothing essential to the plot would have been lost.

However, I did like how they gave us about half of the last episode to show us the aftermath of everything and what happened with the main leads.

There are definitely some good things about this drama but the way the story was told and the supernatural elements were below my expectations.

So, to be completely honest, this is a drama I know I will never re-watch. Not even for the main leads.

Thank you for sharing.

No worries. I think I understood the main point. You liked both since they both were different and each had their positive points.

I will try to recommend you something but since I am busy right now, send me a message reminding me to recommend you some lakorns.

I can definitely remember not being able to distinguish some Asian languages. The only one that I knew well was Japanese because of anime. Now I have studied all 3 - Japanese, Korean and Chinese. And Thai is so different with all the strong R sounds that dont really exist in most Asian languages. So I can never get these 4 confused now.

Yeah, Thai dramas almost feel like soap operas. I actually started with Kdramas in 2010, Chinese dramas probably a little bit after that and Thai dramas only around 2017-2018. But it goes back to my childhood. I remember watching Sailor Moon when I was a kid and because of that I became fascinated with anime and Asian entertainment, from anime it went to manga and from manga it went to watching my first Kdrama which was about cooking. At the time it got my interest since I had just started cooking school. After watching a few Kdramas I started to extend my interest to other Asian countries and the next was Chinese.

My favorite Chinese dramas are the historical ones for the same reason as you. Just love the costumes, stories, scenes, everything. ^.^

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I think that is probably why I have the feeling I liked the Chinese version over this one. In general, I enjoy Chinese dramas over Thai dramas as Thai dramas tend to be more dramatic and over the top. I have watched quite a few good Thai dramas but I still find myself enjoying Chinese and Korean dramas more than Thai dramas. At the same time I could not say this one was better or worse as it comes down to personal preference. I think they were both well done.

Thank you for answering my question. That’s what I assumed.

Ouch, this made me cry more than when I chop onions.

Subs could be better but the drama itself is not bad. Would I watch it if it was longer? Probably not. But since its short it is a good watch for when you are waiting for other dramas to get subbed.

Actually, she just restarted subbing a few days ago. Just checked after leaving that comment because I was wondering if she was still gone.

I was starting to think something happened to her, but since she is back at least I know she is alive, cant be sure she is doing well tho, we never know what happens in the personal life of subbers. Everyone has to deal with real life issues.

I can think of a few Chinese dramas that are like 40 episodes long and that would have been better had they been this short.

Although not amazing, this is short and sweet. There is no time to drag the story so the pace is nice. A good watch for late at night when you dont feel like going to bed yet but cant stay up late either.

To be honest, it would not be the kind of drama I would add to my watchlist either but recently there havent been that many Thai dramas airing and Neko, who was one of the biggest subbers disappeared, so I gave it a chance.

While everyone else below is fighting and taking sides about the 2 fansubs, here I am admiring both of them for even being able to finish subbing such a crappy drama.

Like, seriously, whoever wrote this script must have some real issues. It is hard to make a male lead so unlikable and unredeemable. He felt like a mix of his father who was a drunk violent and jealous husband with the FL’s father who had a bunch of women. How can anyone even stand this kind of person? He could be the most handsome man on Earth... I would still not give him a second look. That is how disgusting his character is.

Like someone else said, a happy ending for this drama would be the female lead kicking him to the curve and get together with a decent man while the ML cries to sleep every night.

hahah I am about to watch it and saw your comment on top of the comment section.
Just finished Tharntawan See Plerng. You can read my comment in case you are considering watching it.

I started it today and ended it today, not because it was so good that I could not wait for the next episode, but because it was so boring that I just wanted to get it over with. So I skipped through the whole thing and only took a few hours to reach the final episode.

If, like me, you have been watching dramas for a long time then you will find the plot boring. There is nothing new. This kind of plot has been done over and over again but most of the dramas with this kind of plot are old, which makes this one feel old too. Also, the main leads, are boring too and Idk if it is the acting or what but I did not feel excited about seeing them on screen. I did not care much for the supporting characters either.

If you are new to thai dramas or have never watched a drama with a similar plot, then you might like it. Otherwise, you will probably find yourself either dropping it or skipping through a lot of scenes.

I cant say for sure because I dont remember all the details about the Chinese version, but I think it would be the original just because I found it less frustrating I guess.

The second male lead here seemed to be even more annoying than the one in the Chinese version and the FL seemed to be even less confident and seemed to try less to maintain their relationship compared to the one in the Chinese version.

I will probably re-watch both at some point. I actually gave them the same rating because of what I mentioned in my first comment.

Well, now it makes sense. If you did not like the Chinese version it would be hard to like this one since the plot is similar.

I know. Some Thai dramas have very loud second female leads and let me tell you, there is nothing more annoying than a woman yelling in Thai. XD

So, what are some of your favorite dramas? Maybe I can recommend you a Thai drama with the same vibe.
