Revenge drama but in a lighter version
So I started watching this series due to all the music video edits on youtube and I was a little curious about how would it turn out. As usual, it's a revenge drama, and as most the typical Thai dramas contain R*pe scenes, forced slaps, and kisses, this particular drama was in a lighter version. The male lead had that charisma that aura, and I liked his back story, his history, and how he really started from scratch. Although I feel they missed out on some detailing where they showed that the male lead was an MD of a rich company and how did he meet those people and why did they have to help him. There was a s*xual m*lestation in one scene and the male lead had to save the female lead, he started victim-blaming her. Thai Lakorns would never get rid of such stupid unnecessary scenes that always have to blame a female for getting harrased. But anyway, the Female lead here was not sensible and the makers tried to show her as a strong character but unfortunately failed to do so. No matter, what she was, she always needed the help of the male lead in her every step even though she was one of the executives who happens to hold a minimum power but was later "somehow" demoted to just a mere assistant of the male lead. She could see signs of red flags that her step-mom was not a nice lady yet "out of love" she always used to defend her and that really irked me the entire time. Like girl are you stupid? She is literally torturing you and your father(who is also not a very nice man btw) to death and trying to sleep with your " supposed boyfriend", wtf! The step-mom was super cunning and the lord of villain queens! Although she was later punished for her deeds, the female lead really really annoyed me!Was this review helpful to you?

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A STORY WHERE THE FEMALE LEAD BEHAVES LIKE A CRINGY STUPID DAMSEL IN DISTRESS AND THE MALE LEAD WILL SAVE HER EVERY DAMN TIME NO MATTER IF HE'S IN AMERICA OR KOREA!(LOL), THEN IT WILL INDEED BE A HUGE HUGE HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT TO YOU. I am very selective regarding these dramas because almost most of the Korean dramas contain this same exact thing which I mentioned above.
Acting:- I really loved how natural the doctors and soldiers were. I have hardly seen any kind of Korean dramas where the acting would be so natural. It was like every cast of this series was made for their respective roles. I watch everything closely and neatly. And I can guarantee their acting won't disappoint you.
Plot:- It is very simple. A doctor and a soldier fall in love and tries to balance their work and relationship. It is indeed very realistic unlike those stupid dramas of a rich boy and poor girl relationship. Neither of the leads is depended on each other's "income". The girl is respected in her own field and is NOT any stupid secretary who is kind of seduced by her boss and the boy as you all know is a high ranked soldier. It will show how they overcome their both work and relationship problems. I am indeed really disappointed with the negative comments all over here. It's not that I am imposing something my choice. You CAN dislike. But what do you expect more from this series? Apart from the main leads, there were some more small love stories along with them. They were sweet and you will enjoy their antics. It was a simple drama with no overdramatic things like Korean dramas normally do.
This series got so much of popularity in many countries and was dubbed in many regional languages. Do you think its just like that? It had some q factor, don't you think?
Good series are hard to find these days. And I will repeat again, I am quite selective while I am watching these Asian dramas. Why did I leave watching Thai dramas? Because of that stupid " Damsel in Distress concepts, the weak female lead, superior male leads, businessmen and so on." Give me a break. Duh.
Music:- I've downloaded all the OSTs because I loved them so much. Music has no language. ????
Rewatch Value:- I watched it two times more. I will watch it again after two months.
