A little draggy and melodramatic (as expected of lakorns). Nonetheless, you'll be in for a treat cuz of the great chemistry between Bee Namthip and promising young actor Film Thanapat. Nice life-lessons by Aruna and Wasin's psychotherapist-mom. Ironically, there's incomplete resolution for Marie Broenner's Kanya cuz she clearly exhibited some psychological issues. That's my only bone to pick and perhaps the less sweet moments or screen time between Aruna and Wasin cuz of Aruna's protracted indecision in the matters of the heart.Was this review helpful to you?
I use to be a Bee N. Fan but I didn't have much interest in some of her recent lakorns. She is amazing, I like that she's a versatile actress that has played many different roles. That is what's good about gmm1hd. I have new found admiration for her.
Film...I think I'm in love.... that smile. He is doing well...it helps that BOSS is BOSS.
I watch this series backwards. I saw clips on it off Na (bee) and Boss and it brought me to the lakorn. So I went to watch the latest part and went backward. I skim through the earlier eps because those 2 disgust me with their actions.
Storyline:
So far it's a Great remake. They upgraded the characters in growth and strength. I skimmed through the previous version and I like how they change her. Her character is vulnerable yet strong. Although she's sad... she's smiling and is cheerful. Bee had the best lines! Boss is also no PRINCE charming in his white horse (porche) coming to save the day. He pushes and challenge her to bring out her inner best self! He wants her to catch up with him and walk side by side with him as an equal.
She change for herself and it isn't to try to win anyone back. She was trying to win herself back. She's not just a title "wife". She's much more than that. She don't start trouble but fought back when shots were thrown at her first. Their actions were not going to control her. She taught ppl selflove on her YouTube channel; While showing people how to make a dessert. She told them to make sure the inner is as good as the outer. Her #1 is her child. That was her focus... how can she be better for her child and herself.
It was very satisfying when she regroup and rise from the ashes like a Phoenix. Brighter and stronger.
Love it. I have great hope that it will finish well. I'm cheering for Na and she keeps killing it soo far.
I'll diff. Rewatch bee and film scenes.
Music:
Very enpowering!
(Loosely translated)
I still have to fight.... since I'm still breathing...I still need to cont..at least.... for my heart that is still beating..
Diva w/twopee
I will not let this love destroy and sink my life
And I will not let the past aggravate me
I need to get up. I will get up

Great acting , expecially from the little daughter.
I like this version better. This drama has what audience wants. Where the wife moved on and ended up with someone else.Instead of those dramas where wife is always shown as weak and pathetic doormats that take back the lying cheating scumbag husband.
It should have emphasized a little more on the 2nd ML, but overall it's ok.
The 3yr old daughter was really really good acting this drama. She deserves an award. All actors are good in this drama.
I really don't watch Thai dramas, because of the slapstick comedy they have. But I watched this one twice, and recommended it to others to watch.
This is the best of the 3 that was made. The Fierce Wife was not good IMO. My Wife, Chinese version, the FL did not show much emotion.

Do not miss.The best drama I have ever seen.!beautiful story with superb acting and great message!
I have watched like 150 plus lakorns and another 200 plus kdramas. But, trust me this is one of the best drama You shall ever see... Provided you like the concept and storyline... All the actors have played their part to perfection whether it is the male, female leads , second male lead , the obsessed vamp or even the cute little daughter.... You feel a range of emotions for Pong who plays Thada as the cheating husband from hatred, to atonement to empathy... Bee is flawless as the female lead. She is not a typical gullible, stupid, dumb lead who takes in and endures all the awful things done to her... She rises from being ordinary, vulnerable, timid housewife to a remarkable, secure, confident woman... She does not limit her identity to just someones wife and mother but an absolute, accomplished woman per se... Love the part in the end where her ex husband realizes the what he lost and is proud of her.... Even thanapat as the second male lead pong is cute yet resolute, determined...There were so many scenes where i repeatedly watched for their impeccable dialogues and acting...My only regret is lack of interaction and scenes between Pong and Aruna.....I give this lakorn an absolute thumbs up!!!!Was this review helpful to you?

Predicted but Still Engaging & Emotional
It's definitely NOT a lovey dovey drama; more of a realistic drama; & surprisingly I enjoyed it. Almost in the 1st half eps, it's like other lakorns with its conflict & melodramatic vibes. It started to be much more interesting when the divorce issue came up. & after that, everything is just realistic; which I love it. Not a sweet & romance drama; even Na & Wasin's story. Na, what can we hope from a widow to be in love again? Wasin, he's really straightforward, even about his feeling; he never talks sweet. But they show a great chemistry. Also Chad & Tharee that's cute & sweet in their own way.Lessons I got:
- A wife should realize her priority role & know that men commonly likes something pretty. I admit that Na's so busy with house chores that she forgets to take care of herself. Thada sometimes jokingly asks her to be better-dressed, have better look. But Na didn't take it seriously. It becomes a problem when someone pretty & sexy like Kanya comes to Thada's life. Thada is already happy with Na in his life. But he's just like other men that needs to see someone pretty & tempting. Na didn't fulfill his need in this aspect. Unfortunately, Kanya did it. Don't get me wrong, Thada's action is totally wrong, but Na isn't totally right. Na is a wife, not a maid. She should've acted as a wife, not too busy with that house chores.
- We all know that Kanya is the one started this problem. She intended to make Thada fall for her. He had tried to be loyal to Na. But Kanya's actions & look are too tempting to deny. What's worse is, when Thada realized her intention, he didn't immediately stay away from her. He stupidly get along with her plan. Men, oh, men…
The best things from this drama: how Na moves on & be happy with her new life, how Thada & Na make up with each other (as friend), & the regret of Thada. After he realized what he's done, he's totally regretful. One of the best scene is when he's staring at his family photo (him, Na, & their daughter) in his office; staring that deeply.

Why need a cheating husband you can Live your own life
PLOT VIEWWhen I first started this, I wasn't sure if I would like it. Its another story of Mia(Wife) who is a housewife, dedicated her life to family and house but in the end gets cheated on. Simple story right, might sound boring too. But there is more, Its the rise of MIA, who undergoes the change to become a strong person, personally and professionally.
The premise of the drama is interesting and there are some great twists and turns. It has great drama and emotion. I was taken aback by how far the writer was willing to go. Also, I love the fact that I got some of my guesses right.
ACTING/CAST
The casting was powerful, each and every one. Like I won't say there was just acting because they had some steamy chemistry as well as deeply engraved emotions.
Bee Namthip(Aruna), Protagonist was awesome. She becomes the femme fatale that I thought was needed for that role, gracefully wearing a sexy wardrobe with short hair she nailed the role of housewife turning into a successful woman.
Pong Nawat(Thada) was good playing the cheating husband. He surely looked like an uncaring person but in truth, he just wanted to be responsible for things he did wrong.
Film Thanapat( Wasin) had a cold display face but eventually, he went on to be better. He was a good friend, advisor, and good human who helped Aruna to find her individuality. He showed a cold face in the first half but had great variations in the latter half. He was not the jealous kind but someone like a reliable lover. Wasin was calm and relaxed waiting until the end.
Marie (Kanya) she looked like vanilla ice cream, in the beginning, you feel like eating it. But when you keep on eating that cold vanilla ice cream you get a toothache and had to visit a dentist, that what happened here. She was rude, selfish, psychotic, arrogant with just a good face. She was too good in displaying her furious psychotic side. But don’t understand why she became like that because nothing about her youth is explained.
MUSIC
OST were nice and give goosebumps whenever it was played in the most intense moments. But it was also so repetitive that I got bored at times. The other BGM was perfectly put in the scenes.
REWATCH
I would definitely rewatch this for Aruna, the display of the strong woman is really inspiring.
APPRECIATION
the husband was wrong and showed guilty. And he understood he was wrong was a very positive thing of the drama.
Aruna's success, she was not the woman who sit and cry for the cheating husband but live her life to the fullest. And she didn’t ignore her daughter and also sought psychiatric treatment for her to help with the broken family.
FAV SCENE
Wasin and Aruna first meet. It was awkward and sweet.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend it to those who like typical Lakron. Steamy Kiss, Bitchy Fights but that doesn't involve FL. It is a good watch because of its simple storyline and magnificent actors
