I'm not going to lie to you, watching this was like Chinese torture. Many times I wanted to drop it but given my personality of finishing something when I start it, I couldn't do it, even though my eyes almost bled from the bad performance.

We started from the beginning, I know they wanted to give Som a more "independent" character, instead of chasing the ML, but she was always angry and her screaming almost broke my eardrums. I'm not saying that you should go after the person you like, almost crawling, but come on! It is assumed that Som liked ML since she was little, why do you show her as if he were her enemy number one. (Besides, they bought that wig at a second-hand store or what. Come on, it doesn't cost anything to get a more realistic wig, please god).

Suddenly Som, without showing any interest in grades or medicine, magically decides to become a doctor! Obviously this fails and although she throws a big tantrum about not being able to get in, this later becomes an event that never happened. Why? I don't know, the writers were writing random nonsense, and this continued throughout the whole damn series. Prim usually she acts decently (not extraordinarily, just decent) but here her acting was terrible. She clearly doesn't work for romantic dramas, but for darker dramas.

Now let's talk about Dew (Chadjen) I don't know when this guy is going to take a moment and think "I really need acting classes" because he acts so badly. If he thinks that his appearance will always keep him in the acting industry, he is very wrong. He didn't even try, you know. When he cried he looked like he was shitting himself. When (this is the end) he asks Som if he loves him too, his face must have been... I don't know maybe worried But he smiled like a damn madman. It gave me chills just looking at it. He can't even smile properly. Chandje as a character is a complete disaster, firstly why do you compete with a professional swimmer and win lol oh I know! to end up having a kind of battle to see who would get Som, as if she were a trophy! He is literally so damn selfish, that when she starts dating Som he only cares about for him and him and only for him. He doesn't care if Som is okay or worried or depressed, even though he is the one to blame for Som's father getting so angry with her, he just shakes her hand like: "well it's your problem and not mine, you'll see how you solve it for yourself". I really wanted to hit him when I saw that scene.. Most of the time he doesn't talk, neither Som nor I'm are fortune tellers to know what the hell he was thinking. And I don't even want to talk about the last chapter... how you start talking about yourself at your friends' wedding? You even know that that's damn awkward and not an appropriate place?for God's sake. When Som tells him "tell me clearly how you feel about me" he doesn't respond and when he turns around and kisses her (holy shit! what the hell is wrong with giving a decent kiss, it's like when you're a kid and you just give an innocent kiss , even when they are in the same bed, they are supposed to kiss, but it seems like their lips were hitting a damn wall) he tells her "I love you."

I liked the original line that was also kept in the Korean version, you know ML admits that he is a disaster as a boyfriend and a person, the original line was: "I lost confidence in myself, I didn't even know if I was the right man for her to love, but I love her and I can't live without her." Here it was a single "I love you" and magically all the shit you made with Som magically disappears. The small intimate moments are... garbage. Because Dew doesn't have chemistry with Prim, in this case I won't be so hard on Prim because I've seen her have chemistry with Win, but it's impossible for Dew to have chemistry with any girl. Then everything becomes too forced and unnatural. They can't even kiss each other decently (It wasn't extraordinary and at times the secondary couple was boring but at least they tried).

The marriage? Well, thank you for nothing director and screenwriter . It only shows them as young people and Som shouting again "I love you Chandje", horrible. Everything horrible.

If he could give him a 0, I would give it to him because he deserves it well. But maybe I'm would give it a 1 for the friends and Tao's performances , who were the only ones who acted decent.

If you think the Korean remake is shit, it's because you haven't seen this. After watching this I think the Korean version is decent and that leaves a lot to be desired.

I really didn't laugh at any point or was moved, I was simply desperate that this hell will end.

I recommend it? Absolutely not. Unless you can't sleep and you want to watch a drama with such random, absurd situations, where absolutely nothing happens in any episode and believe me this drama will make you sleep because of how bad it is.

p.s: The reason Dew was able to act decently in F4 Thailand was because the director was very strict with him. He was the weakest of the group in terms of performance, so during his breaks the director made him practice a lot so that he was at least decent. Rui (the original version) is a very complex character that only, in my opinion, Oguri Shun, could show those complex facets. Since Dew was a mess, he couldn't present that complexity so they made him a little simpler. Yes, he was able to create a chemistry between the other actors, I repeat, it was thanks to the director because before recording, he made them become close, living together and playing. But you will almost never find a director like that, who guides you and tells you "this is wrong, try again."

Dew's decline in acting grew even more and I don't think he's going to improve, because he doesn't even have any intention of improving. I don't know what the hell happened to GMMTV after F4 Thailand. He made heterosexual remakes that were one failure after another, until he reached this one, which was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. I think GMMTV should stop at this point. They can't even make decent straight dramas.

Thailand has a big problem when they make heterosexual dramas or see this shit or you see super toxic lakorn, there is no middle ground. It's a shame because I see that there are decent actors (not super outstanding) who could make good heterosexual dramas (well, I think the only good heterosexual drama I've seen is F4 Thailand).

But I will never see this again in my life. I mean, while I was doing this review I focused a lot on remembering each episode, but there was nothing memorable because in the drama only random things happen but they are very forgettable. I probably quickly forgot about it all, but what I will remember is Dew's terrible performance and Prim's annoying screams, which almost made me deaf.

And let's be objective, although you can be a fan of some "actor" (I'm sorry I can't even consider Dew as an actor) you have to know how to disagree and say "he acted very badly, he did a terrible job." And I mean, I personally like Prim, but I know she's only good in dramas with darker themes, not romance dramas.

side note: I've read that people believe that we are very hard on this adaptation because we wanted it to be the same as the Chinese version. Big mistake. Whenever I watch a remake of a drama I like, I like to see the changes that are made, for example Itazura na Kiss, Hana Yori Dango, etc. I don't like everything to be exactly the same.

I could even say that there is only one scene, of the whole damn drama, that I think far surpassed the Chinese and Korean version and that is the breakup scene. When Chandje comes home, carrying a bouquet of shit, and he sits down, she moves away from him to create distance between them. She behaves maturely and starts talking to him about how tired she is of feeling alone, when she further begs him to say something to change her mind, he just replies "I'm tired" (I really don't know how Som could control himself and not slap him) but she answers him with some irony "That's what I should say, you know? I think I made a mistake in giving up everything to pursue you" (come on you piece of shit, what are you tired of? You didn't do anything for the relationship or for she, it was she who abandoned everything for you and gave 100% of her to make the relationship work, not you) and she leaves with a cold face, she doesn't see her crying, although she feels like bursting into tears. She leaves as an adult and mature woman, without giving him the pleasure of seeing her destroyed. She doesn't scream or make a scene, she walks away calmly. And that's something I really liked about this scene in particular.

What's annoying is the lack of chemistry, that Dew doesn't even make an effort to act well, but rather makes her performance even worse and that they put in meaningless things and then magically forget them ?. and that in 18 episodes she ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS, that you say "oh my god".

That's why many people consider this drama to be the worst of the worst. They have absolutely nothing to do with why it was not the same as the Chinese version.
