Marriage is not just about two people
I have a love hate relationship with MAME and her works. Don’t get me wrong, the production value is amazing. The OSTs are catchy. The cast is perfect. But then we get into the characters and the script, and I start to find more and more flaws. Good looking cast is not enough to make me love a series.Sailom & Namnuea: Sailom is an idiot. I don’t see how else to put it. He is caring and sweet, but his friendship with Prapai definitely shows. And not in a good way. A lot of his actions are not okay. From non-consent, to manipulating Nuea, to lying and deceiving him, pretty much stalking him at one point… To be honest, Namnuea is not innocent in all of this. Especially when he responds to Lom while knowing full well that the man is engaged to get married. Lom knows the wedding is arranged, but Nuea doesn’t know this. He is going after a taken man. One whose wedding he is planning. Which does give me an ick. I think their relationship development would have been much better if Lom was honest with Nuea and would have told him the truth sooner. But by not doing that, it shows Nuea in a very bad light. The two actors are great together and have great chemistry, that is not something I can deny.
Yiwa & Marine: I do find the two adorable, but also quite awkward with each other at times. I still really enjoyed seeing them together. Marine is such a sweet character; she cares way too much about others and often ends up getting hurt because of it. Yiwa does care about Marine, a lot, but she also feels some sense of duty towards her parents, her mother in particular, and wants to follow their wishes. Her reasons are also selfish – she wants to be free to do as she wants and stay on her family’s good side, and that is something she can achieve through marrying Lom.
I hate to admit it, but Lom’s and Yiwa’s marriage makes more sense than it should. I can see why they are going through it. As it is said in the last episode, marriage is not just about two people while love is just between two hearts. It means they will make their parents happy and keep the peace in the families, but it also gives them the freedom to be with who they love. However, how the two planned to stay married is something I don’t think was thought through. What happens when the parents visit unannounced? When they want grandkids? When they want the two home and together for every important event? Both Marine and Namnuea would soon start to feel like side pieces, which is something none of them wants.
The ending was expected but also exactly what I wanted. I am not exactly happy how Lom ended up using Yiwa for his benefit, but at the same time, I can understand why he did. It’s also what she wanted him to do. He didn’t have to go to the extent he went, but he can be dramatic, so it was very in line with how I saw him.

The show was good, but most of the episodes weren't even about them being in love.
Personally, I love MAME's work. Love In The Air has been one of my favorite shows ever since it came out. I have rewatched it over a dozen of times. So, I was excited to hear that Wedding Plan was coming out, and thought that it would be somewhat like LITA.I'm just gonna cut to the chase, Wedding Plan was 50/50 for me. It was good, but it was bad at the same time. After TharnType, Don't Say No, AND LITA, I feel like MeMindY should have improved, but its starting to feel like they are going the opposite direction. I think that its something to watch when you don't have anything else to watch, but don't go out of your way to watch it. My opinion might change once the special episode comes out, but this is what I think now.
The one thing I really liked is the cast. I feel like MeMindY/MAME always have really good casting and the acting was pretty good. They did seem like they were actually in love which is a plus for me cause that's what I enjoy. I'm really hoping the special episode is good, especially since I have high expectations for it.
My recap of my review is: Its 50/50, don't go out of your way to watch it, but watch it if you got nothing else to watch. The story line is ok, and the cast are cute together. I really wished I liked it more.

Omg
Omg I couldn’t hold on any longer so decided to start watching this series And I’m soooo glad I did, only 1 letdown and that was Pai/Skys wedding thought it might have been abit more to it, But omg I’m not ashamed to admit But I cried when Phayu proposed to Rain And they both looked amazingly gorgeous, I was hoping we might get a series/movie where they get married I would absolutely scream if it happened and I love Boss/Neoul I think their stunning. I’m liking Lom/Nuea I think their chemistry is great and the sex scene was hot ? only 1 episode to go And the special So glad i decided to start watching it well worth the waitEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Love it
It's good but not the great. There are elements that I find it cringe and weird. For example i know lom and yiwa doesn't love each other romantically but I can't help but feel weird everytime nuea and lom becomes intimate before the truth was revealed. It's weird bc nuea doesn't know and i can't help feel that lom is a scum who's cheating on his bride to be with another man who's also his wedding planner. I know the wedding is fake but nuea doesn't know.Also I find the unecessary sounds cringe like gulping sound and nuea talking to himself when some scenes could be acted out without actually needing to say it loud what's it's trying to convey. Actions speak louder than words.
I particularly love sun and ryu i want to see their own series if possible and also I love the heartbreak phase. Would've loved to see the groom and the wedding planner actually getting married at the end. At the end overall I love the series and I'm particularly biased with this one bc i have a crush on the actor playing Lom. He's totally my type.

Veo veo...
hmm... no se por donde comenzar... quizás on la serie en si o con mis expectativas, la verdad no se...Bueno iniciare con la química de los protagonistas, me gusta mucho la interacción entre ambos, amaba verlos actuar juntos y la química que tiene los actores es muy buena, acaba de terminar la serie y estoy a la espera de mas de ellos.
Sobre la pareja terciaria... que es exprimo del prota y su novio. eso fue de lujo, pense que habría mas interacción con ellos, literalmente salen en dos ep y no salen mucho, no sabemos mucho de ellos, Uno pensaría que al estar en el poster tendrían mas interaccionara y la verdad es que no... fue una pareja de relleno, no aporto nada la verdad...
La parejitas secundaria es muy linda, tienen bonitas escenas y momentos, pero no me convenció mucho... no se que no termino de cuadradme pero no me convence.
En general es muy linda serie, para pasar el rato y disfrutaba, no es la mejor historia de MAME, pero esta bonita, en algunos momentos se tornaba un poco insípida y aburrida, pero en general es muy bonita y disfrutable. tiene buenas escenas que sin duda pueden quedar grabadas en la mente del espectador.
LAamusica como siempre muy buena, me gusto mucho la banda sonora, y las actuaciones estuvieron bien, al menos los principales...
Deseo mas serie del ship principal... y quien quita una de la parejitas de relleno para ver que tal...

Could have been great
The whole plan was confusing to me. Was it because their mothers pushed them into it? The mothers were a little overbearing but I didn’t get that they were being forced. So what was the plan? Get married but not be together? They each loved someone else. If the girls were going to run away, why didn’t they do that first instead of planning an extravagant wedding?The girls were adorable and Lom was drop dead gorgeous. All were great actors. But I’m sorry, Nuea just got on my nerves. I didn’t see him with Lom and didn’t sense any chemistry between them.
Seeing the LITA cast was really great though. The wedding and then the proposal was worth watching if you loved that series.

cute series with Good acting
This series was really good and the story of a wedding planner falling for a groom to be was a new and exciting plot.The actors did a really great job at portraying their characters and had good chemistry with one another.
The lesbian couple was soo healthy and adorable within their storyline but sadly they don't have that much screentime.
Lom and Yiwa are such good friends but what really annoyed me was how Lom didn't tell Nuea the truth about the wedding. This led to him getting hurt unnecessarily. Yes he had good intentions but the execution was poor and stretched for the sake of the series.
Of course I ate up the guest appearances of our beloved lita couples. The mental breakdown I had because of there scenes I will definitely not forget.
They also did a really good job at the nc scenes even though they are newcomers.
They Story is good executed about the 7 episodes but it would have been even better with more episodes and more time for the story and the characters to explore their feelings.

fun watch with pretty visuals!
This was a cute and lighthearted watch with surprisingly good acting and GORGEOUS visuals. All the sets and outfits were beautiful, and the lighting was wonderful at all times. The leads' acting was great, especially Pak. The story...was a little forced but overall fun to watch. I wish we had seen Nuea and Lom growing close and falling in love more explicitly, that part was somewhat rushed. I enjoyed that there was a GL couple. Cute and funny watch! I might rewatch one day. I look forward to seeing the leads in more things.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

What I like/not like list
I erased major spoilers.I rated 4.0 the story because is nothing new, but I honestly think it's well executed and has a couple of fresh elements!
I liked:
- The gap between the first impressions we got of Lom and how actually he is and how smitten and nervous he is.
- Nuea's efficency and overall his good work.
- REALLY loved that is the saphic couple and Yiwa the ones that have the "main character vibe"!! Everything happening because of her plans, not the gays?? amazing.
- Really loved how loyal Lom is to Yiwa. Yes, he's in love and he thinks Nuea is the love of his life, but Yiwas is like a sister to him so of course he's gonna hesitate and take his time to tell Nuea the truth.
- The side characters are fine and I really liked Im's protective rant.
- That the main couple almost don't have a height difference.
- Surprised with the graphic but not explicit sex scenes, they felt very real and in line with the general line of the story.
Not fond of:
- It's so short that I'd like to have more developing in every aspect of the story (they did good with the time they had tho).
- That they met as kids, ugh, so tired of that trope.

Cute enough!
I am not a fan of most of the stories coming from MAME novels, so I started watching with very low expectations, but in the end I can say that I had fun.The story is very simple and very predictable, so the main charming point of the series is all about Nuea, Lom, and their constant pull toward each other. Seeing Lom getting more and more bold with his flirting and Nuea trying not to fall harder and harder for him was fun. The story also keeps a steady and rather fast pace, which helped me a lot with not getting frustrated or bored while watching.
The actors all did a good job with what they had. My biggest annoyance were the character monologues, which is something that I can't stand: I'd rather have the characters show me their true feelings naturally through actions and expressions rather than have them recite it out loud like a school assignment.
The couples are cute. They're not hyper romantic and memorable couples, but they have good chemistry and their moments together are really cute.
I don't have anything especially bad to say about this series, I just didn't find it to be anything other than reasonably entertaining. I can recommend it to you if you have some spare time for a shorter series!

O casal principal é muito fofo eles são muito bonitinhos, o casal secundário achei elas lindas demaaais e muuuito fofas, a única coisa que me incomodou foi a Marine que fazia 0 esforço para beijar, infelizmente nada de novo por aqui.
Por fim não tenho uma opinião muito elaborada, mas posso dizer que é um gostei bem básico msm.

Should have been half the length
My individual ratings only added up to 5.5, but the overall rating I have given this show was a generous 7. I liked the concept, I liked several of the scenes, but it was all brought up by the unnecessary dragging on of the plot - if they had allowed the story to progress at a reasonable pace, it would have been an enjoyable mini series!Instead I just had to fast forward through many of the scenes since it was just mcdonalds ads and the writing treading water.
Things I liked:
- Nuea's character: I really enjoyed his personality, he was confident and strong, his character made sense to me, his actor was also better than Sailom's
- Sex scenes: these were fun! it actually looked like the characters were into each other and enjoying themselves, these were fun to watch
Best scenes:
- Sailom's breakdown: when he cried after Nuea told he would be on his side, this actually felt so real and touching - it was easy to imagine how lonely and alone it the world he had been feeling up to that point, having to hide such a huge part of himself.
- Nuea's family accepting Sailom, this came after the previous scene, which gave it so much more weight
- The mom fight: I actually found this hilarious, they both embarrassed themselves and it was great
Cons:
- The plot: did I just miss it or did the story not even try and give a realistic reason for why Sailom had to hide the truth from Nuea?? Like he was just making things difficult for himself, and awful for Nuea for no reason. This just really dragged the whole thing down
- Sound effects: it's just really not my style, but it's just matter of preference I guess, I don't think these were objectively bad necessarily
- Sailom's character: the only other MAME show I have seen is Love in the air, and from that I'd guess this is a very stereotypical character for her that she likes. I don't. If Nuea was a breath of fresh air, Sailom was the opposite.
