Lady with an Iron Fist in a Velvet Gloves + Insanely Creative and Romantic Poems.
Above everything else, I wanna advise people to NEVER EVER let the previews stop you from watching this drama. I red through a lot of negative feedbacks and most of them drop it in the middle simply because they got tired of it or they don't like where the story is going. Where in fact, it's one of this production's unique way of getting the viewers attention and interest to keep watching it. Well... I have to admit that they did it severely to the point where it's already affecting the viewers mood but I assure you that this show is all "WORTH IT". So, hang in there!!!
This drama started rough for me— The constant display of abuse, adultery, violence and male chauvinism made me sick all throughout to the point I regret even watching it; but as time passes by everything started making all sense— That every piece of it was created and set up for a greater purpose and it was presented that way to make the whole story more interesting and dramatic. I even thought to myself that it's really been a while since I last watched a heavily plotted drama like this. Something I used to watch growing up and I should say... it made me feel nostalgic and satisfied overall.
Also, there may be times (like a lot of them hahaha) where I felt like the FL is just so great for the ML and that she should end up with the 2nd ML but after a while you'll just realize its true moral and value— that Love is to persevere. that it is something you need to work hard on to achieve. and I really wanna commend every single person behind the scene who made this drama possible. The journey might have been real rough and tough but it all paid off beyond satisfaction at the end.
Another thing is the insane budget for this drama. I love how they shoot the scenes in the most appropriate locations and how it felt so authentic all of the time. It even made me wanna visit Myanmar to enjoy the sceneries and the buddhist temples to peacefully pray and appreciate the religion and culture.
One last thing... I may not be that happy with the outcome of the LGBTQ relationships in this story but I should say that I'm satisfied. Kao Fang X Kang getting a happy ending while Not and Chet arriving on a healthy friendship even after the confession and rejection. Also, I will miss the Thien-Beer-Toon-Not & Muey-Tum-Pob-Kang Combi. They all made this drama extra fun, lively and colorful.
P.S. Everyone should brace themselves for the FLs character progression. She's a real BOMB. A person you shouldn't mess with. Someone who ruined the clichė weak-stupid-clumsy female character we all got used to. She shattered my expectation yet fed my fantasies and interests.
Story - 9.5, I finished the entire drama before I finally decide with this rating so I assure everyone that it's all worth it. It is a heavy plotted story that will surprise you with its twist and turns. It may appear disturbing, frustrating and irritating most of time but you must keep in mind that this is 'drama' afterall. So, I highly advise everyone to just sitback, relax, bear and finish the show. Hahaha!
Acting/Cast - 10, Excellent and Outstanding Actors and Actresses. God knows how satisfied I am with the castings and how I would never have anyone else act any of these characters aside from the original artists portraying them now. Mark is really good but Mew is on a calliber of her own. She deserves high praises for her flawless and solid acting ability.
Music - 10, It became the perfect instrument that made this show even more wonderful, enjoyable and dramatic. Every song blended naturally and I love how it accentuate the whole mood and feeling of the drama.
Rewatch Value - 10, Despite all the negative opinions I initially had with this show, I would still love to watch it again if given a chance to. This story taught me a lot. It inspires me so much and this will forever remain a memorable piece who gave me motivation and determination to pursue love the best and hardest way I possibly can.
Overall - 10, Well deserving! It may be a tough and frustrating rocky journey but it ended really well so it's all worth it. One thing I wanna say to anyone who may read this is to NEVER give in to your own disappointments and disheartenment while watching this drama. Just keep on pushing forward and you'll probably understand how I came up with this ratings. Susu na!!
