I Need Romance 3 (2021)

Warm and cosy

Just finished watching and this left me with a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. I already feel like rewatching and this has become one of my top 5 dramas ( the other 4 are K Dramas)There is nothing deep or tense or dark... Just a sweet easy story to get you through a rainy day. The plot is pretty straight forward as it's just about the FL learning to love and open her heart to the gorgeous ML. Will she have the courage and say I love you and overcome the age difference. That's the storyline but the 16 episodes went really quickly and I love the older woman younger guy or Noona romances as they are known as in K dramas. I loved the chemistry between Pancake and New and I ended up wanting a bf and romance just like him with her. The additional story lines and secondary characters with their own love stories were really interesting too esp Priew with her baby daddy . It's great that the females were strong career women in their own right. The rivalry between Kiss and Pancake was an additional story line and these strong ladies had their own dynamic which was another great element of this drama. I loved Kiss's wardrobe and style. I did find myself getting annoyed when the female lead dated Kan but I guess that was part of her journey to understand what true love was.
Oh and got mention how cute the child actors were as the young Tofu and Jubang.
And I did get annoyed with the FL a few times and shout wake up and just open your eyes... see this sweet loving hottie right in front of your eyes. It's hard to like her in the beginning but that's the point of the this drama... How her character evolved. There isn't too much worry though as luckily the end was happy and predictable like nice hot choccy.

I tried watching the whole series but i can't pass through ep 11. I haven't watched the Korean version so I'm looking at it with fresh eyes.
Like:
1. I like that Najai is strong independent woman who looks at things logically. It creates less drama in life i guess.
2. But I also like how Tofu is inducing a bit of emotion to Najai because apparently she's too much sometimes.
3. I also like how Tofu approach her with clarity with his feelings but doesn't force himself too much.
Dislike:
1. I don't like how dual Najai is. One moment she is hugging Tofu but when Tofu tries to hug her she's like "No"
2. On how immature the 2 rival girls. It seems to me that Tofu is more mature.
3. On how unrealistic Najai character sometimes, like seriously you can't even give a little sympathy to a problematic coworker? And you are not friends outside work though you've worked closely for years? Maybe it is just I.

I watched this drama mainly (solely) for New Thitipoom. I would watch anything for Newwie because I have an unhealthy amount of love for him. And roles like the one in INR, Arlan X, fit him perfectly, the parts of sweet, loving and kind men, paired up with pain-in-the-neck sourfaces.

I really loved Newwiee's chemistry with Pancake Khemanit who played Najai, the love of Arlan's life. She was very convincing as a cold, borderline cruel businesswoman who only lived for her work and never went out of her way to be kind to anyone, not even herself - until Arlan came along.

So yes, I really loved their storyline but I only skimmed Kan and Kiss' and i mostly skipped the other two pairs, mainly because I already knew what would happen with them from the original Kdrama and I didn't find them all that interesting there either, so...

One thing I wish this drama had done? I wish it had given the story its own little twist, at least something, in some way, to keep the viewers - even those who already knew the original - on their toes. But it felt a bit like they just re-shot the original, almost word for word. Too bad.
