This is the 2nd Thai movie I've seen since the day I got hooked with Asian films and drama series. It falls under romance-drama genre in this site, but I think it's more of a rom-com type of film. Though it's not your typical romantic-comedy movie. Lead actors don't have mushy lines to utter nor it has cliche scenes that we commonly see in a number of rom-com films. But trust me, you would absolutely find yourself smiling over sweet moments in the film and even laugh heartily on more than a couple of funny cute scenes.

This is more than boy-meets-girl kind of movie where the story usually just revolves around the lead actors being in love and how they conquer anything and everything that hinders their relationship. This movie, on the other hand, will give the viewer a glimpse of both lead actors' selfless character that one would agree that they really deserve each other and would hope that they end up together. It's unique in it's own way; smartly revealing each of the lead actor's amusingly cool character that any film viewer would be able to relate to and appreciate.

The concept of destiny that often seen in romantic films was given a different twist in this movie. A must-watch film that will leave a smile on your face and a smile in your heart and soul.

What are you waiting for?! Go check out this wonderful Thai movie!

If you're looking for an absolutely unique rom-com, this dorama is for you. The two main characters did their part very well. Their eccentricities are not at all irritating, rather, they are so entertaining. As a viewer, one would definitely sympathize (or even empathize) with these two. For me, a good drama or film is one that would make you forget that you are watching "just" another drama or film; one that would make you feel excited and would make you "feel" even the characters with supporting role; one that would make you realize that most scenes are kinda close to reality. And this dorama perfectly suits those descriptions. A must-see rom-com series. Every episode is totally entertaining!

I was actually having second thoughts whether to spend my precious time watching this action-rom-drama flick or see a super cheesy rom-com drama. But gave in anyway to my first choice because I decided to witness the lead actress' acting (I really adored her in Secret Garden).

I would say that this K-drama is way beyond my expectation. From acting, to cinematography, music scoring and drama plot, it's like I'm watching a well-made (super) long movie. The lead actor was able to play his role well- he could smoothly shift from being cocky to I-mean-business acting. This, combined with the sweet-bad-ass acting of the lead actress, makes the drama more interesting. Even their lines/dialogue (translated in English sub of course) have depths and will surely capture a viewer's emotion.

Two thumbs up for this k-drama-- for bringing out message of courage and love.

I never expected to like this rom-com drama. I thought that I'll be witnessing scenes that are too cliche. But much to my surprised I was amazed with everything about this series. The story line is unique, the actors were very credible, the chemistry of the two lead stars was really good, and you get to grasp life's values as well.

A must-watch Japanese drama :)

I totally dig this rom-com series! Short, yet sweet and beautiful in all sense. I'm giving this a perfect rating because it made me laugh, cry and made me believe again in the magic of love without spending straight 16 hours or a week to make me experience those things. It just took me 2 hours or so to have that feel-good emotion.

Acting wise, all the actors have great chemistry. The actress really did her part well. She could make you cry and make you laugh out loud. Storyline is not pretentious. The sweet scenes are just so right; and the OST, darn perfect!

Anyone interested in watching this series will definitely enjoy every scene :))

A cute rom-com film. The storyline, though, is a bit cliche; but I totally like the few sweet moments of the lead actors. They both gave justice to their parts. But I think the actress really showed impressive emotions on important scenes.

Supporting casts were amazingly good and gave the right amount of humor on supposed-to-be-funny scenes.

But above all, what I really love in this film, is the impressive cinematography; breath-taking scenery and even the special effects were awesomely done!

The only reason I'm not giving this a rating higher than 7 is because of the too-obvious story plot which is commonly seen in most romantic-comedy films.

Nevertheless, I would encourage you to see this film - just for the laughs (ok, some sweet scenes) & beautiful cinematography.

The Best Filipino TV Series

By far, this is the best Filipino TV series I have ever watched. It has the K-drama feels, yet not losing a touch of Filipino culture (cuisine and storylines) in the overall story. You will be treated with the best cinematography and excellent OST as you watch every single episode of the series. The storyline is quite unpredictable, which makes every episode more interesting to see.

Acting wise, the portrayal of the lead characters were superb. In some emotionally intense scenes, you would imagine yourself wanting to hug or assure the character/s that everything will be okay, or you're doing a great job. It is like you are actually in the scene witnessing the joy or struggle of the character. And I have not felt that way for a long time while watching a Filipino TV series (mostly with K-dramas, I did).

If you are someone who enjoys the art of culinary, a sucker for romantic excitement, and really enjoys excellent cinematography, as well as well great OSTs, go check out this series!
