i was really enjoying this show at the start (8/10) but the screenwriter was adamant on ruining their own work.. so they did, and this show had one of the worst lakorn endings i have ever witnessed. overall, this show is not necessarily as dramatic or complex as other lakorns yet it manages to be just as infuriating!

first of all, the original premise of this show is just absolutely deranged and cruel. you have a happy couple (Kim & Mook) about to get married. Kim's sister gets murdered by Mook's brother. Kim suspects him based on partial evidence but Mook defends her brother, as most people would. Mook helps her brother get acquitted and Kim secretly resents her for it but doesn’t say anything. THEN, fucking Kim lets Mook, his fiancée, think that things are cool between them after his sister died and he blamed Mook's brother, when he actually goes and asks Pak, his girl best friend who previously caused jealousy fights between the couple, to replace Mook in THEIR wedding. he says not to tell anyone too. lol. so, he makes up an elaborate plan to deeply hurt, traumatize, and humiliate his fiancée by showing up with and marrying someone else at THEIR wedding, while behaving like there aren’t any problems between them until the wedding day so Mook doesn’t figure out his plan JUST BECAUSE she didn’t believe her brother was capable of murder.

this plot is so unnecessarily cruel and devoid of logic that it drove me crazy. because, you know, even in lakorns like Kleun Cheewit, which is also based on revenge, the plot makes at least a certain amount of sense. it made sense that Sathit hated Tiw because she had actually killed his fiancee and the premise of that show was to slowly reveal the truth about the accident with the hate turning into love. what's Kim's excuse? lol. he doesn't have one because Mook didn't actually do anything to him. she just didn't immediately believe him when he blamed HER BROTHER for a MURDER. there's no logical explanation for what he did and even the "it's just a lakorn" excuse doesn't save this show because why the fuck would you do that. how is that not an INSANE thing to even think of doing. the part that i can't get over is actually the planning. like, he never said anything to Mook about how he actually felt about her siding with her brother. he PLOTTED. he set a TRAP. he really wanted to hurt her. someone who loves you would not do that to you. so, of course, after that point, it just becomes almost impossible to believe he ever had genuine feelings for this girl because it would be an insult to call that love.

people called Mook all kinds of names for siding with her brother but i think that's just the fans getting too caught up in the fact that what they're watching is a work of fiction that they forget it's mirroring real life! who would believe their sibling is capable of murdering their significant other, especially when there is no proper evidence to make them think so? who would not fight these allegations when your sibling tells you they did not do it? people act like she was ever in the wrong when she was not. on the other hand, Kim has the right to get mad because he has acquired more evidence that is easy for him to believe in but not for Mook. HOWEVER, what happened to, “let’s break up”? what happened to, “i can’t be with you because i feel guilty towards my dead sister”? why not a simple, “i loved you but you didn’t choose to side with me”? if this was a dealbreaker for Kim that he just couldn't be with Mook as she sided with her brother, THEN WHY NOT JUST BREAK UP WITH HER. you had to deceive and humiliate her, open wounds that you can’t heal, and create memories that you can’t take back? how is any part of that "love"? the thing with love is, it would bring compassion. if he was really that mad at Mook for not seeing what he thought of as the truth, he would at least let her go in case he hurt her with his anger. but instead, he did something so much more despicable.

i actually really liked Mook in the beginning and appreciated her stance and resilience, until, of course, her character was ruined. she never let Kim see how devastated she was by what he did to her and how humiliating and soul-breaking the whole experience was. she stood her ground and didn't yield to him. she didn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry or lose sleep over him. i mean, he knew the impact of what he did, but Mook had self-respect is what i'm saying.

actually, the whole time they were laying out this stupid premise, i knew that they would make Mook feel guilty about "not believing" Kim at first when her reaction and stance is THE normal. i knew they would make it this whole thing where Mook would go, "oh, you were right. i'm sorry," when it was never about Kim anyways. this entire show, Kim acts like a victim as if he just wanted to have a good life with Mook but she ruined it by not siding with him when it was HIM who ruined whatever they had with Mook. the show was also adamant about positioning him as the victim somehow when the only victim was really Mook, who was made to be too stupid towards the end for me to even continue caring. furthermore, throughout the whole show, Kim puts Mook in a mistress position since Mook thinks Kim's marriage with Pak is legitimate when it's just for show. he keeps pursuing her, to which she falls for because, duh, they were so in love that they were going to get married just a while ago. BUT there is an even crazier attempt to make Kim seem like a victim in the show. HE GOES BLIND! lol. they make him go blind so he can receive sympathy from everyone he has wronged without it being weird. literally, he was so wrong yet they made Mook take care of him and receive his lashings about the gun, asking for forgiveness, when it was ALL HIM. he was in the wrong, not her.

and don't even get me started on the dumb pregnancy plotlines. i couldn't believe that Mook actually became easygoing with Kim after he found out about the baby. a baby doesn't fix anything. how embarrassing and humiliating for Mook it was for her to go live with her ex-fiancee and his new pregnant wife lmao. the screenwriter of this show has gotta be a man because no woman would put up or come up with this shit. this plotline was just so disgusting. by the end, you'd think that they'd focus on resolving things and healing their wounds, and developing the relationship between the main couple into a beautiful end but instead, we got to witness Kim forming a harem when he decided to live with the two women pregnant by him lol how humiliating.

throughout the whole show, i was waiting for Kim's apology to Mook about what he did at the wedding. they brushed it off when that was the biggest disrespect and cruelty anyone could inflict on someone. episode 7, 8, 9.. no apology. episode 13, 14.. just apologize. episode 19.. episode 21.. HE DOESN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE lmao. do you know when we get an apology? when he DARES to meet Mook at the altar again in the last 10 minutes of the finale to essentially marry her this time. lol, what a joke. he just says sorry like he bumped into her accidentally. boy, how about getting on your knees and asking for forgiveness for the rest of your fucking life lmao. also, NOT ONLY did she not get an apology throughout the show, but they also had her say that she wasn't mat ad his revenge anymore and that she understood it. read this again: THEY MADE HER SAY SHE UNDERSTOOD WHY HE DID WHAT HE DID.

and Pak.. i've never seen a show try to redeem a villain while not having them do anything to atone for their sins. she literally was the cause of every drama and every evil act in this show yet she got to be the victim and even got "redeemed" at the end of the show. she tried to get Mook raped, murdered, and set up many many times yet she really won everything in the end, it's crazy! lol. it was so annoying all throughout how nothing Pak did seemed to be visible. like, people found out about all the awful things she did yet nothing happened, and nobody did anything. i think even the screenwriter forgot towards the end because they made it seem like Pak never knew Thada was a murderer when she said it herself a couple of episodes ago lol. it was also insane how they all acted like Pak was just a victim of her overbearing feelings for Kim, which, it's "love" so it must be okay. it was so stupid that when we should have been watching the main couple's healing story, all we got in the last 7-10 episodes was Pak, Pak, Pak.

the plot was too draggy. nothing got resolved until the very end, and even then, they didn't resolve things but covered them up. the "resolution" was rushed and badly written. the whole show, after the introduction of the premise, has been stagnating and nothing really happens during the middle parts. it's like all the episodes after the first few were filler yet the story still needs more episodes to be complete because they simply never explored it and developed it properly. like, by the end, after the pregnancy plotlines started, there was no love or romance left in the show. no touches, no kisses, no lingering looks, no passion between the main couple. they just shared scenes with other people where they were both feeling sorry for each other or for other people.

OVERALL:

they're so wrong for making the villain into a victim and never acknowledging the actual victim.
they're so wrong for making the victim sympathize with the villain just for their unnecessary and unjustified redemption arc.
they're so wrong for never giving the victim any kind of apology or attempts at reconciliation from Kim who has hurt her relentlessly and needlessly for no good reason.
they're so wrong for letting the villain be redeemed with no work done to right their wrongs and making her seem like the good guy at the end as if she was sacrificing something (i.e., giving Kim "back").

in the end, this show was disappointing and felt like a waste of time. i only continued to watch, like, the last 10ish episodes because i wanted to see if Kim would actually ever apologize. this show was also the kind of stupid that just makes you mad because your intelligence is insulted. Kim was disappointing and he wasn't a good man AND his actions weren't justified. Mook was resilient and i wish she stayed that way instead of the screenwriter making her stupid and naive just to give Pak a redemption arc.

the only good things about the show were the main actors. loved them. other than them, i loved Fon and the lawyer as a couple. Fon was also the only person who spoke %100 the truth throughout the whole show yet they made it seem like she was too crazy for saying all that true stuff. i also loved Mona's actor. loved seeing a Black Thai woman involved in a lakorn.

so, basically, this screenwriter should never write again.. put the pen down.
