I had really high hopes for this drama and I'm surprised at how high the ratings are. If you want to watch a funny drama then I guess this might be what you're looking for but it gets really draggy.

Contains spoilers ahead-

Both leads are very attractive but that doesn't excuse the doctor being a complete jerk a good majority of the story. When he finds out that she was the maid, he acted irrationally and put her in danger several times. His relationship with his patients are disgusting. The use of the actress being insane and wanting "to hurt herself" if the doctor didn't return his feelings is horrible. The amount of times I wanted to scream at the screen because of the second lead and doctor. He was pushy towards the FL about her identity yet keep saying he would wait for her to admit it herself.

For Dao on the other hand, she was extremely stubborn. The way she handled the marriage was selfish and she didn't really consider how the mother and the people around her would react. I think the idea of wanting to know who your future husband actually is, is a great idea but at some point she just wanted to be right and to prove that he was using her. The way they handled the situation with Max is so weird to me considering that he proposed and had a secret lover that she caught, and the next day she was magically in love with the doctor and got married.

The supporting characters were unreasonable most of the time. They made the ML mother unlikable and the her whole perspective changes last minute, creating more to the ending which is why it got rushed. I understand that it's normalized in Thai culture that cheating on your wife is ok but the father overdid it, the son joking about it made it worse. It was unnecessary. The trope that darker skin means lower class should also stop being normalized. It's such a bad idea to put out there that females with dark skin are not beautiful, when in fact, most of us can't control it.

The ending is rushed and the middle is really draggy. It repeats the loop he finds more about her secret, she denies, he knows, she denies and so on. They take about 24 episodes to finally get together and they are already getting married.
