Dare To Love: Hai Ruk Pipaksa (2021)

Allot of drama and dispaisable characters with a side of charm

This was my first Lakorn so when reading this you may want to know that I judge it according to previous dramas watched and have honestly no knowledge of lakorns at all, and am more familiar with c-and k-dramas.

What do you get if you take all the aggravating characters in Go ahead, Suits and Something in the rain along with bits and pieces of the plot to Remember:war of the son and put them together in one drama? Well probably something close to this.

A good thing that is also bad is that most of the characters go thru allot of development and change making non of them truly lovable, some pretty dispisable but even they have some good qualities at times making you feel allot of disappointment.

Though the male lead is very charming most of the time he does not really measure up to Jung Hae In (sorry). He does come off as pretty charming and cool most of the time and is probably the most likable character in this drama but falls short towards the end and feels kind of pathetic.

The female lead, is supposed to be bad ass but is essentially just a selfish scaredy cat, with some fine moments but to be honest she is just not very lovable.

The friends are annoying at times but over all seem to be the voice of reason in this drama, and display some pretty good friendship goals so hats off to them.

The Second female lead kind of gave me sls at times she is pretty cool and actually knows what she wants unlike the female lead who well you will see if you watch it.

The parent bring out my inner anger so much that I had to take a break to look at puppies whenever they came on a sign of me actually caring about the drama enough to get angry.

So all in all if you want a show with big variety that will have you charmed by the male lead and mad at the same time this is most definitely worth watching. But be where you will probably feel a range of emotions including some deep, deep frustration.

DARE TO LOVE? THIS WILL BE MY FAVORITE LAKORN FOREVER!

Magnificent, amazing, wonderful, phenomenal, remarkable, spectacular, marvelous, extraordinary, lovely, winning, irresistible, incredible, and all the other good words that can describe it, include it as well. But, seriously, its nice. the story, the line up of the cast, the songs, the settings, the quality are all here. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

Because of this Lakorn, I thought of doing a review for this for the first time. I've been a fan of Lakorn for a long time and I've watched a lot. I also have many Thai artists that I admire but BELLA CAMPEN is my one and only HAHAHA and making this review is my way to express my gratitude.

I am truly, deeply, madly in love with this Lakorn! Because of this, I want to learn Thai language and I want to go to Thailand and live there for life but sadly, I am still a college student. WHAAAAAA I NEED JOB RIGHT NOW! I WANNA SEE PEAK AND BELLA!

Thats all!

BTW this is my first time to give a review and English is not my official language, so please have mercy.

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!!!

ONE OF THE BEST THAI DRAMA EVER PRODUCED

I have just finished watching this awesome drama. I have seen several dramas wherein the girls is older than the boy but this drama amused me very much. Ms Bella is one of the versatile Thai acctress while the male lead is so handsome and new but he played his role very well aside from oozing chemistry. The pacing is is very good that you can't feel bored watching it. My eyes are glued to each and every scenes.
Hope there are upcoming dramas as beuatiful as this one.

Thanks to all viewers who also gave a perfect scores because your scores made me decide to watch it.

I don't know why lakorns are always rated low in MDL but I really had fun watching lakorns or Thai series lately. This one is not an exception. I really enjoyed watching this and breezed through the episodes. This is a romance comedy that hit all the right boxes for me.

I'm a fan of noona romances (older woman-younger man tandem) so this is my cup of tea. Ticha being an aspiring partner in a law firm and being a girl boss is adorable. She is really relatable to me as a working individual trying to prove herself. I understood all her calculated decisions and life choices. I didn't think she is as closed-hearted as other noona romance female leads. Q is also an absolute cutie. I think Ticha and Q really fit well together since they have always been able to communicate and understand each other. When the other is unreasonable, one tries to understand their reason and vice versa.

I also really liked the cases they introduced in the series. Not really like a serious law series but it sufficed to keep me interested in them. I also really liked that they centered the romance both in and out of the workplace. We were able to see the leads in all the aspects in their life. With their colleagues in the workplace, with their friends, and with their family.

Two of the things I did not like are (1) Boss Ben and (2) Ticha's mom. Boss Ben is a snoozefest. I still think Cami deserve better though. I don't even need to explain about Ticha's mom.

This is my first time watching both of the leads and I can't wait to see more of them in their future projects. Or maybe check out Bella's older ones (any recommendations?). Their chemistry is so so good. I liked their dynamic. They both register so well on screen and those smiles just melts me. Everybody in the cast even the supporting actors did really well. It was really fun and chaotic. I laughed out loud a lot of times.

My issue with lakorns have always been it's length but I didn't have that with this one. Definitely worth the watch and recommendable!

A very good, entertaining lakorn, which exploited "office romance" and junior/senior tropes well.

Very cute romance between an intern and an experienced lawyer, within a large legal firm. Rivalries between lawyers and love triangles. In addition, the ML is implicated in 1 drug case and later, his father is accused of murder.

PROS:
+ A very cute CL, with good chemistry. I really like Kongthap Peak (more than FL).
+ well-developed, coherent secondary characters, played by talented actors.
+ an almost credible storyline
+ production without too much length.
+ unmemorable OSTs, but not too intrusive.

CONS (witch lakorn doesn't have one??):
### twists and coincidences sometimes too obvious.
### ML's attitude towards his parents, whom he wishes to reunite after 10 years of divorce and a remarriage, totally infantile for his age. What was the screenwriter thinking about?
### some scenes are unrealistic (morgue scene - ep. 14), acceptable in Thai culture but not for Western viewers, even forgiving ones. Same thing for the permanent intrusion of the FL's mother into her life (professional and emotional) inacceptable for an adult child!
### in the finale, the CL's behavior (to add comedy in the ending) is irrelevant: He distant and she childish.

=> I don't think I will rewatch it, but i had a pleasant moment... And I'm waiting to the next Kongthap Peak's works :)
**********************************************************************************
Romance très cute entre un stagiaire et une avocate confirmée, au sein d'un grand cabinet juridique. Rivalités entre avocats et love triangle. De plus, le ML est mis en cause dans 1 affaire de drogue et plus tard, son père est accusé de meurtre.

PROS:
+ Un CL très cute, avec une bonne alchimie. J'aime bcp Kongthap Peak (+ que la FL).
+ des personnages secondaires bien développés, cohérents, interprétés par des acteurs talentueux.
+ une storyline à peu près crédible
+ réalisation sans trop de longueurs.
+ des OST non mémorables, mais pas trop envahissantes.

CONS (quel lakorn n'en a pas ??):
### twists et coïncidences parfois trop évidents.
### attitude du ML par rapport à ses parents, qu'il souhaite réunir après 10 ans de divorce et un remariage, totalement infantile pour son âge. A quoi pensait le screenwriter ?
### certaines scènes sont irréalistes (scène de la morgue - ép. 14), acceptables dans la culture thaï mais pas pour des viewers occidentaux, même indulgents. Même chose que l'intrusion permanente des parents dans la vie (professionnelle et sentimentale) de leur enfant adulte !
### dans le final, le comportement du CL (pour ajouter du comique à la ending) n'est pas pertinent : Lui distant et elle infantile.

=> Un très bon lakorn, distrayant, qui a bien exploité le trope "romance de bureau" et junior/senior.

This cute rom-com drama at heart is bound to put a smile on your face

Ok,done with Dare To Love. Overall, this drama is wonderful & remarkable for me

As mentioned before, I started watching this drama because of the noona-dongsaeng vibes & thought there're similarities with the Kdrama "I Can Hear Your Voice" but actually it's totally different.

This cute rom-com drama at heart for me was well written, the pacing of the drama was pretty great, The drama itself is bound to put a smile on your face & make you feel all good inside. All the awesome casts acted superbly and are truly lovable and realistic in their roles,

What makes me excited is, the chemistry between Bella Campen & Kongthap Peak are just in. It looks natural & loveable. Bella's character suits her well & is so lovely in this drama. While for Peak, he just did a great job for his 1st role and yes, he's so adorable

I love how their characters and relationship develop, from stranger to a friend, senior-junior & finally a lover. Plus with the existence of their freaking crazy friends, it makes the scenes more colorful. No wonder this drama continuously receiving high viewership ratings

This drama is not only about love, but it also about friendship, family, and u can be inspired and gain motivation from the characters who pursue their dreams despite various obstacles.

I love the main OST very much and "Promise Me" is the highlight of this drama. Peak's voice is just great & beautiful and even he self composed the song. While, the ending song by Earth Patravee titled "Is It You?" also is such a lovely song

Well, it's vey well worth to watch "Dare To Love" and this drama will make you fall in love with the story & the characters especially for Bella as Tricha & Peak as Q. I definitely will watch it again

I want to watch it again

You know when you watch a really good drama and you get so invested in it that you don't know what to do with yourself when the final credits roll. This is how I feel right now. I found myself staying up till late not being able to turn the show off. This show is romantic thrilling and addictive. But I wish there were more episodes and a few more kisses between Ticha and Q. I'm a fan of Noona romances and the chemistry of the two leads here is undeniable. Ticha and Q make a perfect couple with their dynamic balancing each other out. I love that he waited seven years for her. They needed another episode dedicated to the lead pair when Q becomes a mature lawyer. I liked Ticha however she was a bit selfish and although it's great that this drama showed strong career women who can do anything a man can do and in this drama even better ... But I felt she was putting her desire to become a partner in the law firm over the feelings of Q and taking his love for granted. I'm pleased she evolved at the end by still being ambitious but no longer in a selfish way and she got a little taste of her own medicine by Q. They needed to show more of this and that's why I think the ending was a bit rushed so I hope they will make a Dare to Love 2 where they solving legal cases as a power couple and start their own family. I normally only watch K Dramas.... This is my second Lakorn and it's as good as the top K dramas. Really hated June and the mum and I couldn't understand why the 2nd lead actress didn't choose the hot Doctor over Boss Ben. I don't get the allure of him apart from being the boss. The friends of both the leads were hilarious and were the voices of wisdom and laughter whenever either of the leads needed a reality check. Oh and the legal cases were really exciting and added another dimension to this drama. This deserves to be a massive hit. I want to see more dramas with this Bella and Kongthap together again

Ok overall but had to skip some parts

I was looking for an easy romcom to watch and thought this would fit the bill. The first 8 episodes or so was quite enjoyable.
Q was charming but he got more and more immature, weirdly as his relationship with Thicha evolved. Thicha's mother is so dislikeable. I suppose one can say this is convincing acting because boy would I have shook her if I was Thicha.
At some point I started skipping the scenes with Thicha's girlfriends cos their shrieking and excitement was too much for me.
Sal turned out to be my favourite character.
Still I watched til the end so it's not that bad. Stronger characters would have made this a good series.

Very good choice of casts.

I love how this drama showed the equality that should be given to men and women, that men were not higher than because they are men. This also showed that we should never judge someone about their past and records because there's always fake and true. And that money can never give everything. Also supporting our love one's is a must.

Very well done especially bella and not to mention that this was kongthap peak's first lakorn but yet very well acted.

Bella Ranee really is a very versatile actress she can be funny, be a protagonist also make you cry with her act. My favorite thai actress along side with yaya.
