When I first saw this dramas description I skipped over it. How could a person go from marrying the love of their life to sleeping with a total stranger all in the same day? I didn’t think I’d like their characters much. But thankfully the glowing reviews made me give it a try and I’m so glad I did. Once you start watching the drama it all makes sense. Let me explain.

The female lead (May) and the male lead (Kade) are getting married to other people on the same day. Then their fiancé’s abandon them and run off together. May is terribly upset, not because of a deep passionate love, but because of the betrayal. She has PTSD from a past trauma and doesn’t trust men. And since her childhood friend is the only man she’s ever trusted and she doesn’t think she could ever trust another man, she agrees to marry him. So his betraying her and leaving without a word hurts her deeply. Kade on the other hand, wasn’t even dating the woman he was marrying. He had a crush on her when they were younger but now he sees her as a little sister. But when he finds out she’s pregnant (by her ex boyfriend) and not in a good place mentally, he offers to marry her in order to protect her. So both leads aren’t in love with their fiancé’s, but they are hurt by the way they were treated. And when they meet the sparks fly! Boy do they have chemistry!

Even though this drama does have a couple of the typical Thai drama slap and kiss scenes in the beginning, it’s quite different from most Thai dramas. The male lead is very sweet and totally devoted to the female lead. Even though he is rich, he is never rough or forceful with her and treats her with respect. He’s not a womanizer or an arrogant jerk either. And the female lead is not your typical weak female that cries all of the time and is dirt poor. She is wealthy, strong, independent and sassy. And their wardrobe is stunning! I loved seeing these two independent headstrong individuals clash. They have amazing character growth as they learn how to love and trust again.

The romance is done perfectly here. It’s not insta love but it’s definitely insta attraction and they sizzle together. He accepts the attraction and immediately pursues her. But she’s in denial and has trust issues to overcome. Be prepared for lots of hugs, kisses, hand holding, and flirting. I really liked how natural and realistic their relationship was.

The storyline was really good. There’s lots of twists and turns. Even though you can figure out who the bad guy is pretty quickly, the journey along the way is interesting. There’s kidnappings, car chases, sabotage, lots of fight scenes, and hidden identities to keep things fast paced. I was never bored. It has an original plot, great actors, and charming side characters. There are multiple couples that were pretty interesting with great stories of their own. There’s no second lead syndrome and no true love triangles.

Overall I would highly recommend this drama. It was one of the best Thai dramas that I’ve watched. I love male leads that are kind snd sweet instead of those typical arrogant CEO’s most dramas have. And I like a woman that is strong and confident. And all of the side characters are great. If there was any negative I would have to say it would be that the female lead teases the male lead for too long. She knows how she feels about him but refuses to admit it to him. She eventually admits that she just really enjoys teasing him because his reactions are so cute. But her eventual confession is dragged out for way too long. And it does get a little cheesy sometimes, but what romance drama doesn’t? It’s not a perfect drama but it comes pretty darn close.
Don’t miss this gem!
