First of all I want to say that people will really hate the whole plot about "who killed Pipop and who shotted Ya", and they will probably will not like Ya and the way Nat (Pipop's wife) was treated. Probably you will think that the scenes between Na and Thi were not enough (and that's because they are really amazing together so you will think that only them matter).

The couple has an absurd chemistry, the actress who makes the protagonist can make two characters with mastery (to the point where most people love the protagonist (Na) and hate the boring sister, Ya). But the opinion about the female protagonist is divided because she has a strong personality and she doesn't hesitate to bring justice for what happened to her sister. So some people will hate her, but for me she was right in defending her sister (even if her sister does not deserve) because that is what you do for the people you love (some people could say: but it none of her business. Yeah, but what would you do if someone shotted your sister (or anyone in your family), would you say is none of your business?).

And that's why I do not blame her. She may be impulsive and commited, but she is also brave and not only when we talk about the fighting scenes where she is awesome, but when she does something wrong, she admits the mistake and apologizes without hesitation. She is always ready to give up on something because of someone she loves. And that's why she cannot be crucified. The main character is a hero, he is always trying to do the right thing even if he does not agree.

The main character is a hero, he is always trying to do the right thing even if he does not agree. He is fair and it is interesting that even when he does not like the lead girl, he is always trying to protect her (even when he is angry to her). He is the kind of guy you would want to meet and he is a perfect son and brother. He always see the two sides of the same coin, even when it seems impossible.

Moreover, he is not afraid to face everything and everyone for what is right (at this point it is even similar to the protagonist). They both are very similar and maybe that is the fact that has made the couple so well accepted. They fought a lot, however their fights were mostly silly discussions that soon passed into the scope of the comedy, you could see from the beggining their love for each other (they never hated each other completely). At the end of the day, this lakorn has many reasons why you should not watch this, but at the same time you will want to see only to follow the progress of this couple that was undoubtedly incredible.

Besides that, the OST is wonderful and addictive, worth checking out! PS: final was pretty cute and left nothing to be desired.

Since I started to watch dramas, In Time With You has been one of my favourites dramas. I remember the first time I watched the T-drama version and how I felt about this story. It's not a perfect story, there is some flaws, but at the same time it's so poetry and has so deep meaning that I still think this story is very underrated by people who watch dramas. I think this story is the best when we talk about this kind of this situation "friends to love".
The fact is, some people misunderstand the meaning of what this story want to tell us. It's not about love or dating, but it's about friendship and how firendship is more important than love. We see that in our main characters. It's not about a guy who wants to be more than a friend. It's about a guy who likes a girl, but loves her friendship. I think the drama gives us a messange that may be hard, but we need to accept. I think others dramas that talks about this kind situation failed in develop this messange and that's why I like so much this drama.

But talking about this version. I think is more developed than the others one, but unfortunatelly the end was not so good as the T-drama. I also think there is more good songs in the first one than in this one. And I also think Bo-lin did a better job in some scenes. But besides that, I don´t have anything more to complain. They clearly transmited what the story mean and I also think they showed us more interactions between our main leads. In this version we have a Yo less selfish and more independent. I really liked the fact that they didn´t change her work. I also like the fact that in this version they showed us more her love for Ren.
____
Overall, this drama is also more mature than the others one and its also more closer than the korean one. It was my first time seeing the actor who plays Ren, but he is really good and now I'm hoping I can see more dramas with him.

I think we guys need to watch this drama, but thinking about the meaning of the title. There is a reason why the T-drama is named In time With You. And there is a reason why the japaneses prefer to translate as I don´t love you yet. Try to understand the name, before talk bad about the plot.

Consistency is the word for this lakorn

First of all, I want to say the high grades for this lakorn is not due to the fact it is the best thing that ever happened in Thai industry. No, I don't even think it is fair to all the other stuff over there and I don't even know all of them.

However, I do think people don't understand lakorn and what you should/shouldn't expect from them. They are not like Korean dramas who try their best to pleasure international audience. As of today, lakorns are more for their people and sometimes other Asian countries. Saying that, one thing I want to bring is the consistency of this lakorn. Because even though we do have some cliches, they are not annoying. The lakorn kept their idea until the end, most of the characters were likeable and the main characters had a very good chemistry. Also, the actors were pretty great in their roles.

The support characters were fun and they didn't took too much of the main characters screentime. So, it was really good.

But, what I like the most about this lakorn was the FL. I had seen other characters like her, but most of them changed a lot in the story to the point of you don't recognize them. In the case of FL, she did change her attitude towards life, however she kept her fierce personality and even in her worst, she was always wise and ready to see the best in people. I love the fact she were always fighting back and nobody could fool her.

Another thing is the P'raek. Really cute guy and he and N'aek were really good couple. Also, it is just me or anyone else fails in love with a guy who can show their fears? I really loved him. I also loved the fact even when he was mad with FL, he was always ready to hear her no matter what. Although I think their break up was a little bit unnecessarily, I liked the fact he was always ready to support her even when they were not together.

The end it felt a little rushed. I also thought N'aek needed a better apologize from the people in the farm. Another thing is the N'aek parents, I thought their relationship could have been more explored. The actors had chemistry. Last scene was a little meh as well. Saying that, I don't think the flaws of that lakorn were bad to the point of not watching it. Overall, this lakorn keeps you interest until the end. And if you like lakorn, it is a safe bet.

Betterr than what I expected, worse than what it could be.

Frankly this drama could have been better if it wasn't for the unnecessarily things that happened in the middle of the drama and some plot holes. I think the author could have explained better. Also, sometimes less is more. I feel like the author tried to put a lot of things and at the end of the day he didn't know what to do with it.

Saying that, I don't think the drama was bad. I had fun watching it and the couple was entertained enough to watch. Also, I did like some episodes and I was very interested in their backstory and such. It wasn't bad to the point of not sticking to it until the end. At least this drama is entertaining and not just a copy and paste from some American show or something pushy. It was okay.

The OSTs were okay to good. I think I would've liked them more if the drama played them more in a better way. Besides the one with Park Won and one from Lyn, I don't think the other catched my attention to the point of even commenting about it.

The actors were good as well, nothing to complain about it. Their characters were okay. Could they have been better? Oh yeah! Especially the FL. But as someone who is used to old FL style, this one didn't sound so bad. Again, it is a okay drama. Something you would watch because you have nothing else to. However, since almost the dramas nowadays are very bad. This one is quite fair.

I still reconmend it to the ones who have watched a lot and need some k-drama.

The best Thai Romcom you will watch

I didn't know I haven't done a review for that lakorn. But frankly, if you are searching for a good Thai romcom you should definetely watch this one. Almost no flaws for the genre.

The thing I like the most in this lakorn is how independent both (ML and FL are). Usually we have this troupe of Rich/Poor characters and it is annoying by how many stupid situations we get just because of it. Okay, we do have some unnecessarily cliches, but in fact the show itself always proved to us the cliches was just for gag and nothing else.

The couple is reasonable and we don't have stupid dramas. And even when we think we will get drama, the lakorn surprises us and make it bearable. So you end up liking it anyway.

Another thing is the ost, really good. I was very addicted to it.

Side note: ML is probably in the top 5 of the best ML in lakorn. He was so great and confident that I can't help but fell in love with him. And in turn FL wasn't bad at all. She was actually an independent woman who didn't need a man in her life. If she wanted, she could live without ML just fine. I love it!

Honestly, if you are looking for a lakorn that won't annoy you as much you should check this one.

The best time travel drama you will find

It's been a while that I found all korean drams more from the same. Most of them start really good and then goes downhill. But this one is.... a very surprinsingly execption. I was hooked from the day one until the last one. I didn't skip a single scene and I was counting the days to a new episode. And it's been a huge while since I've been like that from the beginning to the end. Why I'm saying this? Well, look around, you will see a lot of comments saying the same and this website is full of people criticizing a drama! That alone says a lot about this drama.

Okay, now that I talked about my impressions of this drama let's get to the real review and the reason on why this is pproblably the best time travel drama.

1) Plot. Although is a very "common" plot in Korea dramas nowadays, this one has a very good execution all the way until the end. The reason for that is simple: it sticks a lot to the webtoon, so besides some execeptions the director doesn't try to change a lot or mix things. So, since the webtoon had a good execution. The drama is as well. I feel like the writers were really careful in trying to stay loyalty to the webtoon. Kudos for them because it turned out very well because of it.

2) Cast. Well, what can I say about them? I think is no surprising that Park Min Young is a good actress, but jesus. I think in this drama Park Min Young set the bar high to even herself. I mean, the girl really nailed! I was so surprised by how good she was in this drama that I even paused for a second trying to understand because I didn't know she was THAT GOOD. Her chemistry with ML was good as well. The actor that played the ML was good, however I may confess I don't have much to say. But not because he didn't make a good job, is just that the others were so impressed that I wasn't so excited for the ML (or even with the romance aspect, even if they did a good job and the couple was amazing).

Saying that, I can't talk about cast without mentioning Lee Yi Kyung, who was amazing as well and stole the spotlight many times making you hate him a lot. But most of all, I couldn't talk about casting without talking about Song Ha Yoon. Someone, please, bring her an OSCAR! She was brilliant! Her scenes were incrediable and the way she portrayed the character was exactly what you would image for Soo Min! On top of it, her chemistry with Park Min Young was amazing, the scenes itself were the best in the whole drama. Really, this girl should have more lead roles in the future.

3) Music was good. But what I liked the most about the musics is that they knew exactly when and where to play it. So, the music didn't sound too repetitive or too out of nowhere just for the sake of it. Not much to say, but personally I liked a lot. Also, the scene where they discouver their identities with BTS song and then we had BTS playing was really cool. I don't like Kpop, but I found it very nice from them to use it.

4) Rewatch value? Personally I don't like to rewatch dramas, but if you are looking for something to rewatch, this one mighht be a good option.

5) Main characters and their relation - Let's just say that will end up feeling like you want something like this in your life. What MC does to FL is something that every person would dream of. He is literally perfect.

Bonus: There is no loose ends and the final episode end everything well without rushing it.

Side note: I wish they had developed one couple like the webtoon did.
