Love it so much!!

I loved this drama so much!! So let me get started...

Story:
I loved the story, it is very interesting in that the main male character (Thien) "has to" marry the main female character (Muey) to keep out of trouble. I've never seen this done in any of the dramas I've watched before and I liked it. The rest of the story goes on as one would expect, Muey is unbelievably in love with Thien, I do not completely understand it, since he loves to tease her and does not pay her any attention, to the point where he knows almost nothing about her. But there you have it, the mysteriousness of love, we never know why we fall in love with someone, so this is true to life.

Story-wise it can be dived in 4 parts: early marriage, hacking phase, Myanmar construction and noble idiocy/pregnancy. I will start by mentioning that I did not enjoy the hacking phase at all, not because of its relevance to the story, I do believe it fits and it is quite understandable, what I did not like was Thien's reaction and action towards Muey. I find he was too cruel and hurtful to her, so much so that I seriously considered dropping the drama altogether. I mean, I know he was mad, since he thought she was doing corporate espionage, but it was uncalled for the way that he played with her feelings in one of the scenes. I also understand that he did not know Muey at all, so he really thought bad of her, but for god's sake he's lived with her for years and knows she is in love with him, would she really damage him?? Of course not!!

The early marriage and Myanmar construction phases were highly entertaining and I love them. This is where the romantic comedy genre could be felt, it brought so much levity and lightness to the show before/after dark hacking phase and the drama of noble idiocy/pregnancy phase. I particularly enjoyed the Myanmar construction phase, because there were so many laugh out loud moments, just watching Muey using so many cringe worthy phrases to hit on Thien was a joy to watch and her invading his personal space.... Thien's reactions were priceless!! He was always affected by her, but since he had early on labeled her sister thanks to his mom, his mind refuse to countenance any other possibilities. Although, his labeling her sister didn't stop him from feeling jealous of Kob numerous times, even before he admitted to himself that he loved her.

Now I've read some reviews where they complain that Muey changes her mind to much, that when Thien finally wants to be with her, she surprisingly doesn't. But I do not feel that way, because he never mentions how he feels about her, he is just too arrogant and narcissistic to communicate his love, he just wants her to follow his lead and that's it. He continues to tease her and is not clear to her, while this would have work in the early marriage phase by the Myanmar construction phase it is no longer feasible, because by this point she is completely convinced that he does not love her and will never love her. She needs reassurance, which he does not provide and at the end of this phase, after Thien discovers all that she did for him, he unilaterally decides that he must leave her without speaking to her about it. I totally understand her reticence to accept him in the noble idiocy/pregnancy phase, which was enjoyable because finally we see Thien begging and going after her, being loving to her, which is a HUGE change. I could have done without the kidney drama, which I believe was not relevant at all, I think they could have found another way to prove that Thien now loves her more than his own life and more than she does him, but it kind of worked.

Now the last episode was weird, the editing seemed so odd, since they interspersed a lot of scenes from the past between present ones. I could not follow the story of this chapter, but since the story was consistent for much of the drama, I will not hold it against it and only deduct a half point for it.

Acting/Cast:
The main actors, Mark Prin and Mew Nitta were great in their portrayal of their characters. I especially loved Mark, because in his case, Thien goes through many changes and does experience personal growth that is tangible to the viewer. Unlike Mew's character Muey, I believe she is consistently nice, shiny, bright and lovable in the course of the story, so we do not experience nor see any of the drastic changes that Thien goes through. The rest of the cast was great, I especially love Thien's and Muey's mothers, both in their own way loved their children and wanted the best for them. What I didn't much like were Thien's and Mueys's friends, I found them to be too cartoonish and loud in their portrayal, I don't know if it is a cultural thing, but there it is.

Music:
I loved the music, especially the opening song and the cover that Mark Prin made, my god, the man has such an amazing voice. I still keep listening to these songs even after finishing the drama!!

Rewatch value:
Really high!! Like seriously, I still keep watching this drama even after finishing it. I admit though, that I haven't watched it from beginning to end again, but from episode 8 to 15... of which I am a total fan!! I so enjoy it and have found out little things I hadn't noticed before.
