Papol played by Boom is a rich guy who have lived with trying to win the affection of his father,but only got rejection and neglect.In his mind the new wife of his fathers is a intruder to the perfect happy family he always dreamed of,and therefore he hates her with all his being and looks down on where she came from.So in this story he meets the very passionate Pantawan and gets drawn to her bright nature while also despising the attraction he feels for her.Pantawan is a hardworking young woman who has to sing and dance in nightclubs to get great pay for her foster mothers gambling debts.She despise Papol on sight for his cruel behaviour and injustice view of her life.But Papol never expected her to be the mysterious owner of the beautiful voice he wants to represent to his new music company-and both find themselves working together.Both characters shares the pain of feeling abandoned,and finds themselves falling in love.Papol did everything for Pantawan to love him when she didn`t love him.It was a courtship and chase i loved to watch.But after their marriage in ep 10 a despicable twist happens,and i literally wanted to claw his eyes out.Papol is a main-hero who have a heart he doesn`t understand,eyes in which he does not see and ears in which he don´t hear.But you find yourself cry your heart out,getting angry so hard you want to hurl your computer across the room...but sigh for what the power of love can accomplish.Papol and Pantawan are characters that only can fall in love once,but its a kind of love that stays for always.
I found myself having second lead syndrome for Non played by Great Sapol,he had such a great character and was the greatest friend Pantawan could have had.Loved how he stood up for her!The younger sister Pat is a character i can`t stand.I still haven`t forgiven her for what she did to Pan early in the story because of her unlogical jealousy.I couldn`t relate to Pantawan`s real mother,she did so many things i found so unloyal and humiliating,i never cared about any of her "pain" or "regrets".I absolutely love the first 10 episodes..they were exciting,cute,sexy and romantic in so many ways..but it just kinda fell down from there for me.I do hope Boom and Pimmy co-star again,since their chemistry is truly exceptional and shattering,loved how they could look deep into each other eyes.!

Actually a pretty good drama! (wanted to write a positive review since there aren't many)
I just finished this drama and I saw a lot of bad reviews on it. I must say, I think this drama is not bad at all. The music is perfect, the cast is wonderful and the story is decent. Don't watch this if you're expecting a very adventurous and perhaps seductive drama (this is just a heads-up because the poster is slightly misleading).Story: Alright so the story. Since this review will not have spoilers, I'm just going to talk about what I think about it. The story gets slightly repetitive and there isn't TOO much of a development to it. HOWEVER, since this drama is mainly focused on the romance, I do think this is good. First off, the story that is shown is probably not enough to bore you, although there are a lot more better story lines out there, this drama is mostly focused on the romance (as I already said before). 2. Other than watching the interactions between the main couple, the secondary characters are very interesting and well written. 3. The romance is quite nice with a handful of adorable moments in there. It's very entertaining to see the contrast between the characters when they're working and when they're with their love interest. Also, I HAVE to bring this up. There is no toxicity in the romance of both the lead couple and the other secondary couples. There is no taking advantage of or romanticizing some kind of toxic behavior.
Acting/Cast: They chose a very good cast to act in this drama. The actors and actresses all portray their characters perfectly and they all have a defined personality to them. The acting is also wonderful, it allows us, as watchers, to experience the story the same way as the characters do. I think the leads have very good chemistry and acted the roles flawlessly. I also enjoyed the side characters a lot, there was some character development and it was entertaining to watch the different side characters.
Music: I think the soundtrack of this drama was lovely, it fit the scenes well and DAMN that first ost (Fire Dance) is so catchy. The music really helped portray the emotions in this drama and it was a very nice listening experience.
Rewatch Value: I must say, I would rewatch a lot of scenes 100%. I would probably not rewatch the whole drama as it is slightly lengthy but I definitely enjoyed watching it the first time.
More of a personal opinion (you don't have to read this if you don't want to) MIGHT INCLUDE MINOR SPOILERS:
I personally LOVED this drama. I came for Liu Xue Yi as this is his first modern day drama as the male lead. I think everyone did wonderfully and this drama certainly did not deserve all the hate that it got. I think I liked this slow-burn drama, I think it is more of a realistic relationship and I loved this journey.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
I enjoyed that the male lead did not just try to express his love to the female lead in the beginning since he knew she had a boyfriend/fiancé.
Also LOVED Lin Si Yu's character development. Ship her with Wang Ji.
I like how Xu Qing You is independent. Hate when female leads just depend on the male leads.
Thank you for reading my review! I hope this convinced you to give this drama a try :D

Once in a millennia
I created an account just to add my review. Please give this drama a chance. There were no promotions or support from its platform because there are no traffic stars in here, but the story, the cast, and crew were well worth it. This drama easily became my top 3.Chao Feng and Qing Kui stole my heart in this drama. Because the director isn’t well known to flesh out his characters emotionally, especially when this drama is a comedy and avoids heavy feelings, the actors have to rely on limited scenes to build their chemistry. Chemistry is the most important element in every story. Without tears, it’s hard to feel the true love between the characters. The entire cast was great, but Chen Mu Chi and He Xuan Lin took it to another level with their crying scenes. It’s so hard to find actors/actresses who can cry so beautifully now. I just watched a break up scene in a currently airing drama and the lead actress had absolutely no tears, but people were praising and raving about her amazing acting. I was puzzled on how the director even passed that scene?! A lot of the post 95 female leads can’t compare to their predecessors who can cry fountains on cue. Yes, I treasure tears and ones with emotions, too.
It was extremely refreshing to see Qing Kui cry at all the right moments, making every scene heart gripping. Tears never made her weak; she was smart, strong, and brave yet kind and gentle, genuinely changing Chao Feng from a bad boy to hero, effortlessly. Chao Feng’s close relationship with his mother, the sacrifices he made for his soldiers, saving Qing Kui every time, risking his life and millennia long war with the Void Empress, was nothing but impressive and touching. When Chao Feng’s tears flowed out of his eyes in front of Lamu’s house, to when he was carrying his mother on his back after losing all his powers, to when he married Qing Kui in prison, to when Qing Kui died, if it weren’t for Chen Mu Chi’s tears, those scenes would’ve been passable but not awesomely memorable. I am so proud of my pair for jerking hearts with their beautiful crying scenes. The leading pair were more comedic relief, but my second pair delivered all the emotions and moved the audience beyond with their tears. I’m not sure if that’s how they intended the drama to go, but the story wouldn’t be complete without Chao Feng and Qing Kui. They executed all of the tears, feelings, and chemistry so well. I hope they get to collaborate again, soon.

It’s Not That Bad
For a change, it seems I’m on the opposite end of an unpopular opinion.I placed spoilers at the end of this review.
I thought this was an interesting and funny series. I don’t know how much it mirrors the French TV series (Call My Agent!), but I thought this script was good. However, It’s not perfect. There were some aspects of the script that I did not like. See spoiler alert at the end of this review for more information. I thought the cast was wonderful. I liked the group dynamic and that all of the characters were likably flawed. I also loved seeing the various guest actors in each episode playing mock versions of themselves. The one main critique is the pacing. The series starts off strong but gradually losses energy throughout the series. As for the ending, see the spoiler alert on my take of it.
Random Note: As stated above, I did not see the French TV series this was based on which is probably why I enjoyed this series. Is the series perfect? No, but I don’t think it deserves all the hate it’s getting. I’ve seen far worse dramas than this one.
******Spoiler Alert******
The relationship development between Ma Tae Oh and So Hyun Joo is inconsistent for the first half of the series. It does not progress in a natural way.
I did not need the hinted incest love attraction throughout the series between two of the characters. This was unnecessary and seemed out of place. It also served no purpose in this series (for now at least).
Everything towards the end of the last episode is hinting at a second season. If so, the ending is perfect. I would absolutely watch it. If not, then I’m completely pissed off how they ended it.

♥ 17.3 about a sex ♥
This drama is about 3 high school girls who are trying to find their sexuality and more about sex topic in high school. Sakura is serious, Tsugumi is not interested to date anyone, and Yuna is experienced in dating a lot of guys. Sakura falls in love with a guy in her high school but she is still not ready to do it. Do you think at the age of 17 is early to do it?As a Japanese I think age it's very early, it's better to fall in love and do it with the right guy. Even in the age of 20s some people are scared to have sex but that's how society is in Japan. I think this drama is really worth watching as it's soft, and cute romantic ♥♥♥Was this review helpful to you?

I loved the cast, it was one of the strongest points in the drama, I am not into Chinese but this wasn't a bad drama to watch.
It has a fair story with lots of drama; I do remember seeing a lot of dramatic scenes near the end. There was fantasy and cute romance too, if you don't mind it getting really slow in the middle then this is a nice drama to pass time with.

Again, PSJ can pretty much do no wrong in my eyes right now. He's pretty to look at, has good comedic timing, and his romance scenes were believable and tingle-inducing. Who else could make such an arrogant guy lovable and sweet? Park Min Young - started out really well. She looked sharp, had pretty smiles, and great bantering. And my goodness- THAT PONYTAIL!! Props to the ponytail! :) But I wasn't always fully convinced of Mi So's affections towards Young Joon because of how PMY acted. I've not read the webcomic that this is based on, so I don't know how true the adaptation is to the source material. In the last two episodes, her passiveness toward Young Joon was awkward and lacked any of the passion that had been building from the rest of the story. Pyo Ye Jin as Ji Ah, was super cute, but she seems to have been typecast into similar roles now. I did enjoy her in this and hope to see her in more roles soon. Hwang Bo Ra as Bong Se Ra was a bit over the top in her comedy like she was trying way too hard. But both Ji Ah and Se Ra's office romances were very cute and fun to watch. Kang Ki Young did a great job in his role, playing Young Joon's employee and friend....but mostly his advice coach. Lee Tae Hwan, playing Young Joon's brother, was such a mild character that he was virtuously unnoticeable and fairly useless except as a plot device.
The story was thin and didn't fill out the available time for the story, but because I was enjoying the romance it didn't become super obvious until the last couple of episodes. I enjoyed the banter and the comedy between the co-workers and the romance between Young Joon and Mi So. I found the sound effects hilarious and Mi So's side eye made me laugh every time. Although the secondary romances were fairly cute, there is little substance to this show, if I'm being perfectly honest. I am all up for fluffy and light when it comes to romantic comedies- so this fits that perfectly for that. If you expect a rom-com to be anything other than this, you will be disappointed and I wouldn't recommend it. I was happily entertained for the majority of the show, though, regardless of the plot. (I'm not difficult to please when it comes to rom-coms.)
I could see myself re-watching parts of this show one day when I want something light and cute.

I just finished watching this drama and now I'm so upset that it has finished. This drama was different because it was more about life lessons and family rather than romance which I really liked. The trio was so good and i was even more excited when I found out they were family. It was such a sweet drama whilst also being funny at the same time. It teaches you how to deal with grudges and how to let go, a really mature perspective on things . And I loved seeing sung-jae especially since he is in the army now. I had never seen him as an actor but his acting skills were amazing , especially towards the end. I would highly recommend this drama to anyone who wants something comedy whilst having an amazing story. Was this review helpful to you?

Slow Paced Romantic Drama, But Definitely Worth Watching
I really enjoyed this drama, and especially the Male Lead. It was sometime frustrating to watch how the Female Lead treated him. Maybe it’s just me and my attitude, but I would have told her to F*** off many times, and would have probably never seen her again. I definitely wouldn’t have given her a second chance after she left, and decided to just have a long distance relationship for five years, and it was OK with her. But, he really was deeply in love with her, and was willing to tolerate just about anything, never falling out of love with her. Their relationship had a great ending.I especially liked the 3 other couples, and their side/love stories. Those rounded out the whole drama, and made it interesting. All of the relationships ended how they should have, to make the story complete. Sad for the Male Lead’s sister and her doctor husband, but even sadder for their daughter. I kind of wish they would have decided to stay together, but I understand why they couldn’t. The other sister of the Male Lead had a happy ending though. Then there was the third couple that were just never meant to be together in the first place. But their storyline was really good. In the end, the woman was stronger from the experience, and was more successful and independent than she would have been if they did end up getting married.
All in all, I though it was a great Drama definitely worth watching. It kind of left me feeling good about how it ended. What I really liked about the ending, was it didn’t leave anything just “hanging.” We’ve all watched those frustrating dramas that left us feeling.... “Why did the writers leave us wondering where the relationships went after the Drama was over?”... Then, you have to sit there and imagine how you think it should have ended. This one doesn’t do that, all relationships were ended and explained. No imagination needed... Good from beginning to end!

Boring drama, bad plot
I watched every episode until #20, but the erratic mood swings of Wei Wei and Yi Du, made me feel restless and listless. I switched to watching every five episodes until I reached the end of the line.Story:
A love story/amnesia/revenge plot! Too much, too little, too boring! Wei Wei acted like a childish teenager, as she kept pursuing Yi Du, even though he treated her shabbily. Yi Du was so trusting of his friend, who was his mortal enemy, yet he distrusted Wei Wei frequently, that I wanted to slap his head. Mo Fan pursued a distorted revenge plot. Huao Xiao, Wei Wei's best friend, became needy and manipulative.
Acting/Cast
The cast did a good acting job with the bad script. Joe Chen and Wang Kai looked very attractive as Wei Wei and Yi Du respectively, but their characters were not endearing. Zhang Duo is handsome as the snake friend, Mo Fan. Derek Chang was my favorite cast member. His character, Leo, seemed the most rational, although he chased Tiffany like a puppy.
Music:
Music outpaced the drama.
Overall score:
At best, this drama should have been 24 episodes long. The plot would not have been so burdensome to the viewers and the actors.

Dominant Yakuza and Wimpy Corporate Slave
17 people found this review helpful
So good that it needs to be made into a full series!
This short form show needs to be made into a full series immediately!While you can only get the first three eps on Youtube, some beautiful human downloaded the whole series onto BiliBili which you can watch here
https://www.bilibili.tv/en/video/4793311726800896
Good acting, good story, cute wimpy corporate slave, hot Yakuza - what more could you want? The Japanese have such a talent for concise storytelling and the fact that they have crammed what could comfortably be a 10 episode series into 30 minutes is testament to that. That being said, I liked it so much that I want more! More cute moments, more tough Yakuza moments, more back story for both characters, more shots of that tattoo!
Well done, Japan - another winner from you. This show is definitely worth 30 minutes of your time.

Every character, scene and dialuge was carefully executed. I am blown away. I am so sad this drama have come to a end. I have followed its run for months now and it has been such a intense and fun journey. I love this tale so much i have no idea what to do with my life now. I mean, F4 Thailand has done something so special with this old tale. I am awed and i am in love and i am heartbroken by the beauty in this tale.
Tu Tontawan portrays our heroine, Gorya (her name means "weed") who tries to survive all the obstacles that come her way. We see her trying to mentally cope with the bullying that has been going on in the Elite School and the minute she gets a new friend trouble comes her way in the form of the notorious and very elite group F4- and she fight back against the F4 leader who is Thyme Paramantra...never thinking she would steal his heart in return.
Bright Vachirawit portrays the very iconic character who is the leader of F4, Thyme Paramantra. His flower represents his self which is the Black Rose which makes him the cursed King. To gain absolute power and control of his Kingdom (in this case the school) he sends a red card to whoever stands against F4 and lets the whole school bully and harass that victim however they want. Gorya is the first girl he ever gives a red card to and becomes evidently frustrated when she refuses to give in to him. She however tosses his world upside down when she kicks him (The Footprint of a Meteor) and gives him the sense of regret and disgust over what his bullying system has done to the school. He also falls madly in love with Gorya and in his journey of wooing her he along with her overcome obstacles that come within their class differences.
Dew Jirawat portrayed the free-spirited Ren Aira who is the first person to help Gorya when she got bullied by Thyme`s minions. His flower is the White Cutter which symbolizes charm and innocence. He is also Gorya`s first love and they come to have a strong bond with each other. Ren will always be there to help Gorya whenever Thyme is unable to. He is her Black and White Knight, he will be whatever she needs him to be.
Win Metawin portrays the biggest womanizer in F4, which is Kavin who uses a mask that hides his cold eyes. He is a skilled manipulator and uses charm and seduction to get what he wants. He finds his love-interest in Gorya`s friend Kaning. His flower is the Hydrangea that symbolizes grace, beauty and heartlessness. I love his song "Silhuette" so much!
Then we have Nani Hirunkit who portrays the heart of F4, which is MJ. He is the heir to a Mafia Empire but still stands the most steadfast, caring and wise amongst the F4. He loves his friends and he will do anything for the group to never separate. They mean the world to him. I love his energy and vibe of danger that he usually hides. His flower is Iris which symbolizes wisdom and bravery.
Gorya and Thyme as a couple is everything to me. The actors portraying them nailed everything! They made me fall in love even more. Their love-story is the central part in this show. I just love how they grow up through their challenges and how they become better. The chemistry is OFF THE SCREEN AMAZING! The way Thyme looks at Gorya absolutely made my stomach go crazy! So many bittersweet and beautiful moments with them! Aghhh, i feel like crying again!

I hate the male lead
The story is pretty cliche, this has similarities to goodbye my princess instead the female lead actually lives in the past way more than she should, I get it he was a wolf but she keeps saying wolf boy like more than 10 times every episode and also calls him wolf boy more than she should, the male lead is highly annoying, manipulative, cruel and cold. He also by his own words says " he will do whatever he wants" as in how he tried to rape her as an excuse to make her hate him... And the worst part is that she apologized?! Like... After that ep I knew I wouldn't take this drama seriously. Also I once read how they hated the aluminum foil gowns they keep dressing the male lead and after that I couldn't see it either way 😭 the female is highly clingy and I would accept it if the male lead was good to her but he isn't he is cold most of the time with her and he does have his reason but he repeatedly goes after her over and over and then rejects her and treat her badly.. Also the actress can't cry no matter how she tries all she does is the sound of crying but her eyes are always so dry so I can't feel the true emotion at all. Honestly I hate this drama and even now on episode 27 she knows the truth that he killed her family and she legit crying to him and their past 😪 idk it's hard for me to consider it a good cdrama till now.I finished this drama and all I can say is I rather have a story of bao na and the general than the wolf and here is why.
Bao na even though spoiled she had a better back bone than female lead she Straigh up told the FL she would kill the wolf boy for her for being such an ass to her but then again FL refused
Bao na liked the general and she went for it like a queen and even became a soldier and honestly a princess pretending to be a soldier to simp on a general? That story for me is SOLD 10/10 would watch
Did my idea of the ml being an ass every changed? Nope it didn't, I found their love story quite boring and repetitive and the fact that the only wolf related scenes are the same ones which is episode 1 over and over again after that their are no wolf references, NOTHING. If you remove episode one it's just a normal historical drama and a girl calling a guy wolf repeatedly throughout the whole serie and that's it.
