Very nice,emotional and very little violent drama
I like the starting of the drama the way they meet ,I understand the concept , Love story started with the ignorance but one thing I really don't like to take the revenge he slept with her.This is wrong and can't be accepted, lead actress also told him that how she forget this that's why can't forgave him but if they don't meet story would not be have happy ending . This part and the violent part I don't like rest all it's okay.
Lead actor acting the best ,I like to see him more in other dramas

The vengeance was the best part
I really liked a lot of this drama, but it went downhill for me after around 20 episodes. I really liked the ML and I liked how he went about getting revenge and it was the best part of the show, sadly his revenge story didn't take up majority of the show as you'd think.I liked the FL and her character really suited the ML. I just hated how nice and kind she was. There is a limit to how nice you can and should be to people that don't care for you or appreciate you at all. And that's what really annoyed me about her. I was really happy that the romance aspect of this drama came in really late and that it's singular focus for the first half was the ML's revenge.
I didn't mind the ML's relationship with the FL's sister because I knew he despised the sister. But I really wish the sister got what was coming for her, because despite the fact that she hates the ML, I hate how she looks down on her sister for being with someone she had first. If the ML and FL were always going to end up together, why did the plot have to make him go so far with the sister who would always looked down on her sister and him. But this wasn't what triggered me about this drama; It was the redemption that did it for me.
I hated the redemption arc of all the surviving characters in this drama. Especially the sisters one. The one charecter I wanted dead more than anyone, survived. And it was a pathetic and unsatisfying redemption arc at that, for all the surviving characters. It also seemed very last minute. I was really hoping she'd get the karma that all the other charecters got, including the ML, but she didn't. I don't understand why a drama, entirely about vengeance, has to have a redemption arc at all. I don't even think the ML needed one, even though he was obsessed with getting revenge and hurt a lot of people unintentionally to do so.
This drama would have been a lot better of it was slightly shorter. The last 3 episodes seemed irrelevant to the overal plot, and the redemption ruined it for me. It was so satisfying to watch the characters get their karma, and the irony of how they got it was hilarious, but the ending ruined this for me.

A bit too draggy for my liking
The story overall is rather interesting other than the fact that I'm really bothered that the fathers/husbands got little repercussions for being the main catalyst (other than ML's father) of the "pain" in the story. The FL does have her flaws as all characters do : constantly criticizing the ML's character but allowing her mother and sister to bully her? Her character seems confusing, although it seems rather heartwarming that she's willing to forget the past and forgive her sister. There is some character growth when she finally stands up for herself , tells her sister off and fights for her happiness. The ML also sometimes does some questionable things that borderline on uncomfortable for me to watch. Many times, in trying to help her, he inadvertently causes more pain to be brought upon her. Oopsie much.If I could rate the pace, I would. 5/10 maybe? There are some parts in certain episodes where I wonder to myself if they are really necessary and made me want to drop the drama because it was so draggy. The ending kind of makes it redeemable showing everything happy and the antagonists are like "forgive me, I have done wrong "and do a complete 180 and the random pairing of characters because why not?
All in all, this drama does have some fluffy moments and the revenge bits are rather satisfying to watch as the main antagonist is 2-dimensional enough that you can hate her without feeling any form of sympathy/empathy for her. Kudos to the fluff, not so much to the pacing.

The Male Lead had more chemistry with a Side character IMO
Watch it if you’re in the mood for: A typical revenge Thai Lakorn, but done right. A smouldering Male Lead, who has decent chemistry with the not-so-awesome, mostly-ok Female Lead. My plot twist is in the last para of my review.Why I liked it:
* I concur with the other reviewers that the Male Lead carries the show. Gets the right amount of anger, angst, longing, confrontation etc in his expressions and he is good-looking as heck. The kisses are also nice, not dead fish pressing lips against each other. I don't know what the ML was on when he filmed this lakorn, but he had chemistry with everyone. With the FL, with Mee, with Aunt Mam, with Oil. I personally thought he can give a lingering glance to the wall or the door and I would be convinced that he wants to make out with the aforementioned wall/door. I feel bad for the FL to be honest. The ML brought his acting A-game to the lakorn, she was valiantly trying to keep up.
* This is where I get shot but here goes: I thought Sila had smouldering chemistry with Aunt Mam! Before I am killed for pointing that out for a character who was effectively a Mom-substitute for him in the plot, hear me out:
- The way they are introduced: She is taking a bath, he is in the shower and they are talking to each other on phone. Exactly what am I supposed to take away from such a scene?
- He was extremely protective of her, I would say even more so than for the Female Lead. And they took precious plot time to build that out too in scenes between the two of them. Maybe they did it to show that the Male Lead is a good character, not evil. But picture this: Aunt Mam is a victim of violence. Sila sees this and loses it, vows to burn it all down. She is sitting there in a thigh-high slit bathing robe sort of costume when he is falling to his knees crying. Whoa! My brain just can't seem to process it as him doing this for a motherly figure. The sexual innuendos were strong!
- It is not helped by the fact that I thought Aunt Mam was the most gorgeous female in this series, and Sila is well Sila. Smouldering hotness. Maybe my brain is automatically shipping the two most good looking folks in this series.
- Once I got on this train of thought, I couldn't help but see each of their scenes in a different light. Whenever she is calming him down, she is running her hands around his shoulders, down the length of his arms. You get the drift!
Takeaway: Someone make a May-Dec romance and cast Aunt Mam and Sila in lead roles. What natural chemistry! What good looking folks! What great actors!

Not bad, but overrated
Most of what I have to say has been said in other reviews. Tor was hands-down what saved this drama. His fantastic acting and on-screen charisma were downright electric.I don't typically enjoy revenge dramas, so it's not surprising this wasn't my favorite.
The main issues I had with this drama were: 1) the female lead and 2) the stereotypes *gag*
The female lead was honestly completely unnecessary. I think they were trying to go for the "female lead softens vengeful male lead's heart," but I personally did not see that ever happen. He fell in love with her and she tried to tell him to stop his revenge plan, but I don't remember him ever listening to her. Tor just ignored every bit of advice she gave him.
I also didn't care for the female lead's character. She was very vanilla, as most female leads are in lakorns. As a viewer, I was completely indifferent to her.
Now for the stereotypes. Where to begin. There were so many scenes/lines that I saw coming from miles away. The part at the end where he gets pregnancy symptoms for her? That trope was funny the first time I saw it... nine years ago. It's gotten more and more ridiculous with each lakorn that uses it.
This lakorn was worth watching once to see the extremely talented Tor, but was unremarkable in every other sense. I doubt I'll watch it again.

The amazing Tor Thanapob
If you're looking for romance, then run. This is not what you're looking for. The girl is annoying and the guy is a ball of rage and hate, as much as he loves her, his way of showing it is pretty questionable, to say the least.If you're looking for a smart lead, a good revange plot and great acting (well, as least from our male lead) I suggest you to start it right away! Tor Thanapob did simply FANTASTIC! He's captivating, you'll root for him and his schemes with your whole heart and you will have a satisfied smile on your face as he put his plots into action!
I came here just after watching him in The Last Promise and both characters are so different and he owned my heart both times in completely different ways. I'll make sure to follow his projects from now on!
Also the actress who played Aunt Mam is such a badass queen is a pleasure to watch her. She is beautiful, she's smart, she's a fighter. She's powerful!
My only problem with the lakorn was the female lead, be with the actress' (lack of) acting skills that were even more in evidence thanks to Tor superb work, or with how useless was her character. Every "pi tor" that comes out of her mouth gives me goosebumps, in horror. I'd have given the drama a 9, instead of 8, if not for her. Anyway, if she bothers you too, just skip it, trust me, you won't miss a thing to the main plot; the revenge, well, is totally worth of your time!

A Major Disappointment @ EP 13
Final verdict after fast forwarding after ep 13. I didn't miss a scene before ep 13 but after ML slept with the FL's sister, it kinda made me disgusted with the ML. After ep 13 it's also so draggy. Points to be noted:1. There was no need to sleep with the sister in order to take revenge on stepmother & stepbrother
2. Tbh the fault in this drama was of all the main male characters, everyone of them cheated on their wife which led to female fighting & children getting crushed bcuz of it
3. These cheating husbands are actually redeemed. All of them are shown as good guys. Like wow! You made ur wife lose dignity with led to them going jealous & insane. Like its so understandable. I am not saying what these females did justifies them, no it completely doesn't.
4. ML character was another problem creator like all the other main males in the drama. Stepmother was totally right when she said to him that if he hadn't gone for revenge so many wouldn't have gotten hurt or died. His revenge led to a chain reaction.
5. I have never seen stupider police in my life. It felt like there is no law in the country, people don't trust the police at all thats y they never report the crime. Capturing a lady who is shot is so hard for them. Its laughable tbh.
6. The ML actor carried the drama. Sometimes he was over the top but it worked. The FL actress had no expressions & her acting was awful.
7. I blame the writers for what the ML did to the FL sister, it was so unnecessary. ML character is so strong while the FL at the beginning tries to be strong but ends up being his doormat as well. There are a lot of plot holes in the story. I think the writers could really have done a better job.
8. I don't understand how a father can give his younger daughter in marriage to the guy who slept with his elder daughter using lies and deceit. Like what kind of a lose father he is sorry to say.
9. Directing was really well done in this drama. The hospital scenes were the most real i have ever seen in a drama. The romance & caring scenes were also really well done.
That one scene destroyed the whole drama for me damn. Why writers! How can you do this to me! Sorry for ranting but i was really into this drama & it just disappointed me so badly. If only I had known that this scene was there, i wouldn't have watched this!

A quick summary about the drama
Well this is my second thai drama. My first one was Praomook. I loved that drama and I also enjoyed this show. The chemistry b/w the leads are awesome. I realky hate the character of Sida and Sawit but the actors portrayed the role very well. The role of Sila was also great. The actor played it very well including the emotional and physical scenes. The female lead is shown damn naïve. In the beginning she always think of Sila as a bad guy but after listening his story she still continue saying to drop the idea of revenge. My favourite scenes from this drama is when Sila told his enemies about his real identity. When kwan get to know his reality she went crazy which makes me feel relaxed. The forced kisses makes me feel butterflies in my stomach. Whenever the FL slapped the ML he always kiss her which was damn adorable. When they both came in relation the drama got more enjoyable. I will suggest to watch this drama. Whenever Sila take his revenge I just jumped in joy because it gives a different type of satisfaction. All actors portrayed the role very well which made the drama much more beautiful. The role of AO and Plug was also awesome. They both were loyal to Pinsuda and Sila from the beginning. My personal opinion is that whoever is confused about watching it must try it once. If you guys like drama with thrill, action, romance then this is the best choice. This drama is worth watching. IDK why people are saying it is a boring drama. This drama brings new suspense in every episode. It isn't a boring drama. Thai dramas are worth watching according to me as I had watched 2 dramas but those 2 gave me different types of feelings in every scene. Because thai dramas consist more than 2 genres every time which makes it more and more intersting.Was this review helpful to you?
I'm obsessed with this mess
STORY:The story has a nice plot. It's a bit messed up (if you can't tell from the summary). It's a mix of revenge and childhood friends to lovers. The revenge and romance are perfectly balanced.
Why did I rate the story as 9.5/10 then? Well, the ML treats the FL like sh*t. He does it so that she hates him (I won't expand on this). At the end of their relationship, they're so sweet and cute that you just want to cry from watching them. But I wish that the drama had spent even one minute, just addressing how toxic their relationship at the beginning was.
The drama also has a lot of violence, which is understandable, but it can get a bit hard to watch sometimes (think of this as a trigger warning)
ACTING:
Wow... the acting in this drama is superb. None of the side characters were over-exaggerated, and the main leads were so good, they acted with their eyes, their facial expressions, their whole bodies. It was amazing.
The chemistry was fire too.
MUSIC:
The music was the cherry on top. I got chills whenever I heard the instrumentals and the OST. Lots of lakorns give off this indescribable 2000-2005 feel. This one didn't, it had a modern feel, similar to the ones that you'll find in dramatic kdramas (I know, its a bad analogy, I can't think of a better one) and I think one of the main factors was the music.
REWATCH VALUE:
I haven't rewatched it yet because I'm too busy obsessing over the clips and edits on YouTube. But I would definitely do it.

Don't watch this rubbish
The story line is over a decade out of date with the misogynistic characters and the old cliché of the bad mothers, no originality what so everThe ML may be handsome but I didn't like anything about him and the Fl mother I would of told to do one within the first episode can't stand the show sorry not sorry................. Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch , Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch , Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch , Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch, Not worth the watch

IT IS A SLAP AND KISS DRAMA WHAT DID YOU EXPEXT?????!!!!
Don't expect this to be a "healthy" drama. I mean it. It is a revenge themed slap-and-kiss lakorn. Don't expect logic while watching this,like from the very beginning everything is over the top and unbelievable. Think of it as a very old school harlequin book and lower your expectations because this isn't about an epic love story or anything like that. To be honest I stayed for two characters Mam and Sila and their antics in the underworld,revenge and everything. They could've done things a lot differently but again dont expect much logic in this. All in all though for its specific genre it is a good drama...your experience while watching it might feel like eating junk food.Was this review helpful to you?
A drama that
Finally, I found a drama that suits me..I just knew that this drama is a remake but after 27 episodes, I really loved this version because of the amazing performances from the actors!!!Good job guys!!!1. The best villain in Thai’s drama land .She never give up to do the bad things until the last moments..That is a good lesson for me!!Whatever we are, we should never give up and “NEVER SAY NEVER” in everything that we do.Whatever it is, I empathize for her.She is another wife that got cheated by their husband. The cause of this post-problem is the effect of her husband’s foolish act. He cheated on his wife and BANF .baby on the way!!If there is a woman can accept that behavior and the child, I think that woman is an angel.Our villain is one of the best villain that I watched in Thai’s drama but her weakness is her son..Isk..isk..If she had a better son, she is the unbeatable villian in this drama.
2. OUR MAIN LEAD..Please give a big clap for Tor Thanaphob. I knew about him because he always pop out in channel GMM25. However, he is amazing and I love how he acts. I’m falling in love once again.But, I just watched Sky Castle (Korean Drama) and I really regret it very much.He is soooooo similar with Chani sf9 and everytime he appears in the screen, my brain redirect my mind to Chani.It is a big spoil for me but don’t worry Tor, your acting is better than Chani.
Anyway Chani sf9 (right) and Tor (right) .They quite seem different but when you watch this drama, Tor is like the older, mature, slimmer, taller and sexier version for our 19 years Chani. Along the drama, I wish Tor is Chani because I fall in love with Chani, 3 months earlier than our Tor…huhuhu..If Chani can perform or act like Tor, he will be popular like Im Si Wan..Now, I love both!!!
3. You reap what you sow..First, to all the foolish husbands that responsible to this extreme karma. I don’t want to write my opinion here because I am a WOMAN, so all the wives got my 100% support. Second, to our ML that lack of forgiveness. It is not easy to be a saint if similar circumstances happen to us. Third, Fourth and fifth….you should watch the drama and you’ll find yourself.
4. Beauty + brain .Good but when beauty that has brain but never use it = NO GOOD!!! either the woman or the man, use your brains if you have a brain because when you didn’t use it, the nerves will degenerate..Hahaha…However, to all writers: Can you create beauty + brains in you drama? and please including woman in the tagline.
SECOND LEAD SYNDROME
Of course…only one for me in this drama .Tor Thanaphob.His visual is best and his act make me his fangirl. His chemy with the FL is superb even her act is not as par as him. In the nutshell, this drama help Tor from a lead of idol drama to a lead of popular drama. He can start a pathway to stardom.
About the drama..
I give 9/10 because in the it dragged in the middle of drama. It has all the ingredients of Thai’s drama and luckily the writer/director make it more interesting and refreshing plot. The romance is so sweet like candy and feels new because of casual act of ML. This drama is typical Thai’s drama but don’t worry because it is good for me. That is another reason that I stop here. Not many things to write but the creativity and magic of writer and director help me to finish this 27 episodes without SKIP.Thank you once again for pick Tor as ML and thank you again for recognize his talent.
P/S: His popularity is skyrocketing in Thailand now !!!
