High expectations, Under delivery
When I first saw the trailer, I had high hopes especially since both the leads did a fantastic job in tra barb see chompoo... However, all my expectations were wiped out by a weak storyline, annoying characterisations and absolute lack of chemistry.The male lead lan was a jerk throughout. I never understood how he shifted his feelings including intimacy from one woman to another in split seconds . The female lead mook seemed tough in most circumstances except when it came to lan where she was a literal doormat.. She was vexing and irksome. Even though lan made it very clear that he didn't love her and kept saying disgusting words to keep her away, she kept clinging on to him to the point of being obsessive. There was absolutely no chemistry between the leads . The only saving grace are rut and petch who showed palpable chemistry than the leads. I also have to admit the female lead is superb in her emotional scenes, and you almost tend to sympathize with her character. But, love without dignity never lasts and is not to be encouraged or pitied. I somehow finished watching this, but personally wouldn't recommend wasting your time!

so much better than the 2021 version
This is a really good drama . Male leads acting is exceptional and spot on. His transition from being a Casanova to being a love bird is smooth and with reason. Even the bickering second lead actors moddaeng and sia ou are too cute and have great chemistry.....Since its a typical lakorn, expect cat fights, screeching, jealous ex gfs, protective in laws.
But, the chemistry and superb acting by both leads as well as second leads makes it worth a watch.
I personally found this one better than the 2021 version.

Flawless actors, amazing chemistry, smart female lead
After a long time, I loved watching a chinese series where the Female ain't dumb or hypocritical kind types especially the ones who tolerate evil not because they are good but because they choose to be too weak. Most cdramas portrait women as either naive/ dumb / cinderella types waiting for their prince Charming to rescue them. Surprisingly, the female lead here is sorted, independent, can make her way out of any dangerous puzzle . Depending on the situation, She knows when to pull a gun or present a flower. Story is intriguing and has interesting plots at every step, yet it has the right balance of light hearted comic timing..Most importantly, both male and female leads have really good acting skills. I dont understand why is this drama so underrated. Even with his cold aura, Liang yi is devilishly handsome and cute at the same time. Don't miss this!!Was this review helpful to you?
Flawless storyline, acting and beautiful cast
This is one of the best dramas of 2021 especially if you are looking for a romantic comedy. The female lead is intelligent, capable, smart, driven yet vulnerable. The male lead is cute, adorable similar to a korean oppa. But, I feel the entire attention is taken away by the female lead friends. They are straightforward, honest, fiesty and soooo spunky and spirited that you just cant take your eyes off them. Even the camaraderie between all the friends is so refreshing. The storyline is simple, with a lot of cute moments between the leads. The ost is superb too. I am so relieved to see such drastic improvement in thai dramas, especially when most are addicted to korean, turk and chinese dramas. Its definitely better than the cringy stupid cold faced cdramas . Please dont miss this!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Annoying drama with cliche storyline
This is a typical cold ceo and cute, bubbly meddling assistant type of drama. However, the character of the female lead was annoying as hell. She was extremely lickass to the point where she didn't even fight back when her dignity was at stake. I guess "ENDURE TILL NO MORE " was her way of life. However, it became too much for me to endure and i had to keep fast forwarding scenes , the only solace being the super handsome male lead. There was zero chemistry between the leads. So, to keep your cool unless you want to drool over the male protagonist you can simply skip this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Must watch!!!
Superb acting, by everyone especially both the lead actors.Anne is amazing, versatile, talented and James Jirayu oppa with his cute chocolate boy looks and unparalleled acting esp emotional scenes have levelled up the drama. I esp loved the hospital scene where he breaks down....
But the award goes to the kid playing putter . He is one of the most talented kid I have ever seen. Even at that age, he could portray such array of emotions.
Storyline is simple, no nonsense and light hearted drama.... Definitely not to be missed!!!

Intriguing storyline, superb acting
Finally I feel so ecstatic having watched the entire series.The storyline is captivating even though its filled with scheming, politics and bloodmath at every step. As the storyline navigates through, such intense scenes, it's the little moments between the two charming leads that lightens up the screen .
The chemistry between the leads yang yang and zhao lu is is simply irresistible and as someone mentioned i can't possibly think if anyone else portraying the roles of bai he fengxi better than them .
The costumes, action scenes and background are just spot on.
Definitely a delectable watch as they rule our heart!

This is the best drama of all times...
I have watched at least 150 plus kdramas, taiwanese and cdramas as well.. However, this ones simply outstanding. I am surprised by the ratings. It so deserves atleast a 9 or 9.5 . The storyline is mature, dialogue writing is impeccable and the cast is muaaaah.....Both the male and female leads are simply fabulous. He is suave , charming yet wacky and she is independent, confident , cognizant yet vulnerable... Both Roy chiu and alice ke have played their parts remarkably well.Their chemistry is simply off the charts.... I shall not spoil the curiosity by putting in spoilers... Simply watch it... You wont regret!!!

Romantic comedy with lots of cute moments and superb acting..
I had initially watched both the leads in MARRY ME OR NOT! And they were outstanding in it... After going back and forth, I finally decided to give this a headshot. The story is pretty simple, but the cast makes it an impressive watch! Roy chiu as the male lead is cute, adorable and simply humorous although even his emotional scenes seemed funny.... Theres loads of chemistry esp between the male lead and the manager with an impressive comic timing. I found the female lead character too naive, dumb, sulking and a little crybaby... I wished there was some character development just like the male lead, but in vain. Alice ke was magnificent in marry me or not ,however in this I felt wanting for more. All in all, definitely worth watching especially for roy chiu...Was this review helpful to you?
Do not miss.The best drama I have ever seen.!beautiful story with superb acting and great message!
I have watched like 150 plus lakorns and another 200 plus kdramas. But, trust me this is one of the best drama You shall ever see... Provided you like the concept and storyline... All the actors have played their part to perfection whether it is the male, female leads , second male lead , the obsessed vamp or even the cute little daughter.... You feel a range of emotions for Pong who plays Thada as the cheating husband from hatred, to atonement to empathy... Bee is flawless as the female lead. She is not a typical gullible, stupid, dumb lead who takes in and endures all the awful things done to her... She rises from being ordinary, vulnerable, timid housewife to a remarkable, secure, confident woman... She does not limit her identity to just someones wife and mother but an absolute, accomplished woman per se... Love the part in the end where her ex husband realizes the what he lost and is proud of her.... Even thanapat as the second male lead pong is cute yet resolute, determined...There were so many scenes where i repeatedly watched for their impeccable dialogues and acting...My only regret is lack of interaction and scenes between Pong and Aruna.....I give this lakorn an absolute thumbs up!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Superb Chemistry despite fake kisses
I love lakorns with strong female characters. This is one lakorn where the woman holds her head high, is independent and responsible despite having it all is neither spoiled nor mean. Female lead has done an outstanding job. Ken theeradeth as the male lead has given full justice to the role and is suave, charming with a hint of grey shades. Yet, he is cute and they both deliver an amazing chemistry despite fake kisses... I am definitely watching this again just to see the interaction between these two...Was this review helpful to you?
A mature storyline with impressive acting and superb cast
This was one lakorn where I did not fast forward scenes at all. Every character has an distinct individual personality and the actors have done a impeccable part in doing justice to the role. Female lead Nok is a spoiled rich pampered brat and at times extremely annoying crybaby to point of being obsessive. However, the male lead played by jirayu is charming , adorable and they have a lot of cutesy moments. But the best thing in this lakorn are the noks parents wat and vi , you can literally feast your eyes on an amazing chemistry between them which makes for a delightful watch! I loved the character of vi who despite her shortcomings is mature, fun and practical yet emotional as the situation demands! She was most consistent and honest throughout... And is able to distinguish her feelings between romance, friendship and love...However, note...its not a romantic comedy and is a typical melodrama... with lots of endearing, appealing segments...
All in all its a MUST WATCH !

Over hyped and wasted opportunity
I was so eager to watch this drama mainly for the actors, even though its a typical CEO cliche storyline with cold, arrogant ceo and cheerful, clumsy yet kind Female lead. But alas!!! It was utterly disappointing.Just as one of the reviewers pointed out there is innumerable investments talks and other finance related topics which totally wastes a lot of screen time.
Although i am a fan of Bai Lu and she has a lot of cute, innocent yet witty jabs and expressions, the character portrayed is totally dumb. Despite being a pro at her work, forget love life, she's even clueless about basic affection . She keeps following advice from her friend who has a messy life herself. She can go to any lengths for her work including relentless, awkward flirting but when its time to be honest and apologize, she shuts herself out.
In contrast, the stone faced male lead played by Dylan Wang has an arrogant yet good , forgiving character. I would still prefer watching him in historical series.
The only saving grace are these two actors and their chemistry especially in the later part of the series. I conveniently skipped a lotttt of scenes just to only watch their interaction.
All in all, its simply ok for one time watch with lots of fast forwards....
