A Case Study in Being Delusional and Other People Ignoring It

Thank your Ninjakkn for subbing this!

Things I liked:
1. The most beautiful waterfall area I've seen so far in any Thai lakorn. Not sure where it was filmed, but would love to visit that spot.
2. Even though some of the characters were irritating because I would not personally react to the situations like they do, it still drew me in to see how it would all play out. What direction would the writers take next? And how would it compare to the 2006 version. (I think I liked the 2006 version just a bit more overall.)
3. With the mental health issues raised here, and not just for the main crazy girl, it gives one pause to see how similar lakorns can be to someone we may know.
4. Some of the ending moral messages.
5. I think the cast did a good job at expressing who their character was supposed to be even when I didn't really agree with or like that character. (I think the lead actress here did a better job than the one in 2006)
6. Interesting how Dr. Anon's character was quite different in this version.
7. Seeing the differences in the story line between the 2006 and 2019 versions.
8. The sweet looks (would have liked more) between the main couple.

Things I have come to expect from Thai lakorns that check the box:
1. Crazy evil witch sister
2. Crazy evil witch step mom
3. Passive doormat female lead
4. Male lead that lost his capacity to reason
5. Unnecessary misunderstandings
6. Karma

Things I didn't like:
1. A female lead that acts like a doormat 98% of the time.
2. A family that allows a child to grow up being a spoiled brat.
3. A family that doesn't admit there is a mental health issue and get that person help.
4. A family that allows another child in the family to be abused.
5. It made my frustration levels a bit too high. Well, that may be unfair as I generally like lakorns to make me feel a wide range of emotions. Depending on my mood at the time, lol.
6. The main thing I really didn't like is listed in the spoiler below.


Spoilers ahead:




















The major thing I never really liked about either version is the fact that Pim slept with Kim (or Ae from 2006). Not only once, but twice. Then wants him to marry her sister, Khem. Ok, I can understand being human and wanting to express that because she's human as well. Pim has always had to control so much of how she feels. That she loves and wants him. That she's been trained/conditioned to give up everything to Khem. That she feels guilty for loving the guy her sister “loves”. But really, she doesn't want to hurt her sister by taking Kim away, but she slept with him? The ick factor on that is really high for me. Plus, neither version really sold me on how they ended up sleeping together. Especially this version where it just seemed too sudden. Yes, you're touching my face and kiss me a bit, so yeah, let's fall on the bed, lol!
Well, since I like to compare different versions, I am glad I finished this one.
Thai lakorns may drive me to drink, but I still love them.
