Wan Rak Tong Ham (2024)

Endearing and sensible taboo show which succesfully kept it's elegance . Bravo.

Lin is the ex Mistress of Rangsan ( ML's dad ) when she is pursued by his son (Khatha). The wife learns about it...

The plot is nothing but explosive. In a taboo situation like that, what would one do?
Watching this show, I was evidently intrigued by the very problematic situation Lin encounters because this reminds me of a real life situation I saw happening in my hometow, in which a daughter fell for her mother's lover and finally, after a lot of scandalous gossips, the two managed to settled together and had a child. So I was intrigued to know how this story could be handled.
Well, I am happy they kept some elegance in this show. The characters are not one-dimensional and the plot was well executed.
I would have liked the drama to be longer though. Because A lot of plot point was rushed at the very end ( episode 19 to 21) to finish the show.


Pros :
- Sassy and strong FL on the surface but with some emotional scars deep inside.
- Redeemable FL.
- Sincere and cute non perfect ML
- The wife is supposed to be a multi-dimensional character. It is also interesting that for being the wife who has been cheated on ( episode 1 ) she should be the victim. But the writer made a villain of her. Clever.
- The drama stays always elegant and even sexy but never vulgar. Bravo to the maker for keeping the story beautiful and thus endearing to watch.
- A lot of twist and turns.

Cons :
- Some misunderstandings.
- The evil wife is very annoying.
- The ending fells rushed because soo much more could have happened to Lin and Khatha. And I wish we had 10 more episodes.
- The husband Rangsan could have been more utilized in this drama. I wish he was more present.

Overall :
Endearing and sassy story with a sweet bickering couple. I loved all of it. And I recommend it because Lin is totally redeemable. And Khatha is a tru hero, although he is not perfect. You might enjoy this cute and sexy story as much as I did.

A trash fire plot with sincerity and heart-a weird hidden gem

Sweetest Taboo's central plot is the series of taboos and messiness of the characters. We're talking absolute nonsense like affairs, major age gaps, evil moms, terrible fathers, and many more. But in actuality, it's so much more than that. This show is about messy and flawed people and their growth. Lin and Kata are one of the healthiest couples I've ever seen and it's somehow between very flawed characters. These characters are messy, but honest and communicate everything. They get emotional, fight, then look at things from the other's perspective, realize where they were wrong and correct it and apologize. Throughout the show there are many fights and growth as they learn to become better people and better romantic partners. I typically get bored when characters get together early on, but more than half the show was about the couple's journey once they started dating and I was sat for the entire thing. I loved their relationship and it's honestly weirdly one of my favorites now. I will miss seeing their fights and makeups.

The FL Lin is a terrible messy person, but even toxic people can slowly change when they're encouraged, taught, and given time to grow. Kata aids in helping Lin become a better worker, sister, mother, and lover. He is an upright person who stands up for public justice and policy in an applicable way for the people way and that mindset is reflected in how he treats everyone around him. I fell in love with him the first scene I saw him in. That smile is adorable and he was the sweetest loving person the whole show. Lert was a great driving force as well raising Lee and always being there for Lin. Even the messy mom Kate grew on me whenever she wasn't acting like a psycho. The show has so many toxic characters, but they receive consequences for their actions and the loving people around them help them to change.

This show could've been terrible made up of only scandals but somehow it had so much heart, sincerity, and kindness that really showed how wise and genuine the creators of this show were. If you want to see messy characters change, see a couple learn to love each other through many trials, or just want a dramatic show with more than dramatics, this one is for you. Plus you will likely fall in love with the ever beautiful, ever kind, gentle, and adorable Kata played by Mikey.
