I don't believe in love-at-first-sight, but the lead pair here had Chemistry-at-first-sight.
Plot: Typical Forced marriage Thai Lakorn but with no rape scenes for a change. The ML was actually quite a gentleman.
You should watch it if in the mood for: A typical rom-com where the leads have great natural chemistry together and are drop dead good looking. Bonus is that their body language is in tune with one another and the actress is uninhibited in her portrayal of love scenes.
Why I liked it:
* MALE LEAD: He is a fine looking specimen and he is shirtless for a sizeable part of the drama. He is jacked up, which is a refreshing change from all these perennially lean Korean / Chinese male leads, who can never convince me that they can actually pick up the FL. His muscles and tall height is accentuated by the fact that the FL is actually quite dainty. When he hugs her, its like a bear hugging a maiden :) Also his big hands caught my eyes too. He was frequently caressing the FL in some form or other (caressing her hair, her arms, her shoulders). If you notice carefully, they are in some form of physical contact in a lot of their interactions. All this enhanced the chemistry for me.
* FEMALE LEAD: I might have called out the ML as the first point, but the star of the romance here is the FL, Mookda. She is drop-dead good looking. I read a comment on YouTube saying she looks like a Disney Princess, and I agree. Plus, man the girl can act! She has beautiful doe eyes which look even more striking when they are full of tears, she makes her lips quiver at will, and her voice cracks while delivering a sad line. She was so uninhibited with her body language with the ML. She kissed like she was into the kissing. She leaned into him, hugged, touched him. Frankly there was a scene in the last episode, where the ML was leaning in to kiss her cheek and she just turned her lips to him :D He still ended up kissing her cheek, it seemed like a little mistake in the scene which they let pass, but just shows that when she signed up to do a RomCom, she meant to portray that she loved the guy. (or maybe she really liked Mike, who knows!)
This girl is actually one of the best romance FL I have seen across Korean / Chinese / Japanese / Taiwanese / Thai rom com landscape. It's the FLs who always spoil a romance drama for me by being dead fish in the skinship scenes. FL, if you love him, why would you shrink if he touches you? Go Mookda! I will watch more of your dramas.
* CHEMISTRY: From the very first scene when they met in the Drama, there were sparks on screen. I don't believe in love at first sight, but I definitely believe in Chemistry at first sight. The ML and FL had really physical chemistry. They were just so naturally into touching each other, being in each other's physical space. Sighhhhh!
Tips:
*Its only 16 episodes long and you can fast forward all the second /third lead love stories, without missing much.
* The fight scenes are extremely well done. Kudos to the Action / Stunt director.
