Wong Wien Hua Jai (2021)

Love a push and pull couple without the kiss slap

I picked this drama because of Porshe and Now. They were so sweet in Sai lohit. As for this drama they have such a strong push and pull chemistry. I could not look away. This was a force-to-love, turned-real, turn-to-hate and then back-to-love drama. I'll break this down by looking at these characters.

Bow - a beautiful smart rich girl. She stands up for herself and has humanity and consideration for others. Where were all her friends and family when she needed them? It truly felt like no one was on her side. I guess the only one loyal to her was Pong. No wonder she stayed friends with him all the way to the end. I love that she organically developed feelings towards Nai. Even those he forced himself into her life, she was able to see what a good boss and person he is, especially to those around him.

Nee - the crazy spoiled sister. She was such an unhappy person. Even when she got her way, she couldn't even fake happiness. Its so sad and tiring to watch her tantrums. At the very end, she got her redemption by letting loser Pong go. But why did it take so long??

Baitong - the real pyscho. She was great. All she did was spread misformation and poisoned food over and over again! I cant believe no one suspected her. Things always go wrong when she was around. I'm glad she stayed crazy because she had no remose. We knew she was not going to change. Her end game was to be with Nai. Anyone who got in her way, don't matter if you're a friend or family, you gonna die.

Pong - is the worst boyfriend ever. Not enough is being said about this selfish trash bag loser. He acts like the victim and you feel pity for him..? He doesn't own up to his "mistakes". He drunkly slept with the Nee, twice! And he still thinks Bow would forgive him? Dude you cheated!! What an entitled dumbass! Plus he had it made, he trapped himself a golden ticket with a crazy rich girl. There was no mention of his parents, only that he's a poor musician. He would not even have to work! How the hell was he going to provide for the baby??!! He does not deserve a happy ending. I don't know what anyone sees in this guy. He was so useless. Bow was being abused by Nee multiple times, he did nothing but watched.

Tos / Nai - the antihero...?? He is on my list of most complex character ever! He was given the most development and he stayed consistent throughout. From the beginning, his goal was to keep crazy sister happy no matter what. That meant forcing Pong to marry the sister and separating Bow from Pong by forcing her to be with him. He was the only one being responsible and did all the work. He basically created the drama! He has this kinda charm and was able to persuade everyone around him even Bow's family. Everyone is so loyal to him! You really felt he has a connection with the workers and friends. They are his family, since he only has Nee. I felt so bad for him when he lost his friend, the manager. Nai moved mountains for sister. He fought so hard to keep her happy and alive. When he got on his knees begging Pong, I felt his desperation. Pong was such a jerk to refuse him! He made me cried when he was praying for sister during surgery. When sister died, he lost it. He went crazy mad. He was grieving and took out all his anger on Bow. I hated his revenge arc, he was no longer the smart calculated person, just a stupid raging monster. But why do I like him so much??? Because he was enjoyable to watch. He was the only one who can control the situation. He was so determined to make everything work. He admits to his selfishness and wrong doings. I love it when he manhandles Pong. You should be scared of crossing him, he's 6ft tall!!! He had to bend down walking thru doors!

There were a lot of sweet Nai and Bow moments. Porshe and Now are my OTP. Their chemistry was what made me keep watching. Nai was so playful and teasing Bow the whole time. He didn’t even know he fell in love with Bow, or prob didn't realize how deep he was. His revenge arc was hard to watch. I kept thinking that he was smarter and it was all an act to catch the real killer. But I’m glad he realized on his own that he loves Bow too much to get revenge for Nee.

I didn’t like that everything was revealed at the every end. It would have been better if he took out his anger on the real culprit. I also didn’t like the memory lost part.

How toxic do you want this to be? "YES"

There were mixed reviews about the series,so I decided to also talk about my experience as to clear the air a bit.MOST are positive and I am LAUGHING at that.

Firstly the quality was bad,I was expecting higher resolution for a series aired in 2021 but I don't know the budget for the show and the date they started it so I didn't let that cloud my judgement.

We follow a ml that wants to be portrayed as a bad person to the fl but is actually nice because HE HAS TO BE,he is the ml....So,he even let's her believe till the episode I dropped the show that he r**** her!If we find that attractive then as a society we are ducked (you know what I mean)It is morally wrong ...The target audience are adults but I see no adult there.Also, the fl was going wherever he ex told her just to say "I don't want to see you anymore"....Then DO NOT AGREE TO MEET! Girlll if he cheated on you he ain't worth your time!The fl was just enduring everything...And do not get me started with the sister of the ml and that rich girl.
I only stayed till this ep because I thought that there would be a change maybe the fl would decide to go away and live a life for HERSELF and not others.On top of that,the actions of her parents were something unprecedented and I wasn't prepared for THAT.

Overall,there are better dramas out there,it is not worth your time...I could continue the review but it is also not worth mine.

Be careful and take care.
As a fellow reviewer said -excuse me,I will copy it-"Abuse in not romance"
I am of the belief that we should stop romanticizing everything.....Some things are just bad (nothing could be worse that this show)

Wong wien hua jai 2021

I like the chemistry of the male lead and female lead, I like their acting so much that I even replay their first kiss ?. All cast are great at portraying their characters , good job to the actors and actresses. One thing I don't like is the plot of the story, I haven't watch the old version and never thought that this was a remake. I read a review about abuse is not romance , and I do agree with him/her. One thing I don't like about the story is the kidnapped thing , the forced marriage. The female lead family is very toxic , the male lead is also toxic not letting the female lead hold her phone and keeping a secret about who he is . The story is very disturbing for me. Abuse is not really a good thing wether it is physical or not. I hope Thai entertainment will lessen remaking a story about male character kidnapping the female character with male character sexually harassing the female character. It can cause a trauma to viewers.

I watched the previous version with Weir and THAT was a bore enough.
Seriously, who's supposed to care about the "story" that's repeated over and over for who knows how many remakes? Viewers keep pointing out how the behavior does not connect to current times. Then other viewers reply that these dramas actually are remakes of remakes from original series that can embed dated back to the 70'. So, will they do this again in 2033? LMAO.
Obviously thai are too lazy to write new dramas, if such high percentage of "new" shows are remakes, or other-country drama adaptations. It's still easier to do a few updates in the old thingy from the seventies, than to write from scratch, right? Geez. So, everyone now has a cell phone and uses social media, else they act like 50 years ago. Great.
We can watch 30 years old Porshe Saran Sirilak...
Nao Tisanart is pretty but I doubt she'll do real kiss with him. We can also listen to new version of the same song...
All in all, you'll excuse me if I won't spend 18x 1 hour and a half.
