Loved it!

I love lakorns but, unfortunately, many times I find myself fast forwarding through scenes and episodes of many of the lakorns I watch. Sampatan Huajai, however, was nothing like that! In fact, I found myself going back to rewatch some of my favourite scenes! Miracle!

Weir and Thisa were stunning and, after watching these 16 episodes, I cannot think of a better pair for the role of Naboon and Wan. I loved Naboon and his protective; cunning; caring and lovable (and cute) nature. I loved Wan and her smartness; strength and dedication to her family and ability to think things through and not jump to conclusions. I love how we see their strengths and weak moments. Basically, I loved everything regarding their relationship - which was what I loved the most about this lakorn. I fell in love with their chemistry, their longing eyes, their cute scenes, their respect and support towards each other.

The plot also progressed pretty well and the story was great. It was interesting, gripping and full of action and mischievousness. My favourite action scenes were within the island, they were exciting! The action does slow down after 5 episodes and we start seeing less of the main leads together, which is a bit sad but the lakorn remained interesting and exciting. As usual, there were some misunderstandings between leads - as with every lakorn - but the best thing is that it was not those misunderstandings that drove the story forward since the plot was strong enough to not require that. Even the side stories added to the plot progression. On other lakorns, I usually just roll my eyes when useless side stories show up and skip through the scene. However, the great supporting character in the show made me stay through every scene. They were intriguing and funny and their own stories interesting.

The lyrics were beautiful. "I just realized I can't live without you... Thank you for being in my life " – that’s beautiful! The soundtrack fitted perfectly with the story and the scenes.

Long review short. This is one of the best lakorns I have watched and if you're looking for some good plot and chemistry, with added action, then this is the lakorn for you and I highly recommend it!

This is my first ever review but seeing how much I actually loved this drama, I knew I had to share my opinion with others.

Love Me If You Dare is a Chinese drama based on the novel "Close Your Eyes. Stay Close to Me" by Ding Mo. Combine a person with a strong sense of justice and an emotionally closed off genius psychologist and you get the best crime-solving duo  I have ever had the pleasure to follow.

I tend to find Chinese dramas to be slow, as in unnecessarily-dragging-the-plot-and-losing-their-beauty-along-the-way kind of slow.  This was not the case with Love Me If You Dare. I watched it all in one go (after an unbearable amount of time waiting for all the episodes to air). And let me tell you, I was beyond excited by it. Every episode had me craving for more!

I found Love Me If You Dare to have the perfect mixture of romance, criminal psychological thriller, and mystery. The chemistry between the main characters, Simon and Jenny, was breath-taking. you could see the sparks in the air in every scene were they interacted with each other.  I loved how the plot didn't go straight into the romance but, instead, allowed us to see the romance between our main characters grow with each episode, as the characters themselves developed. Huo Wallace (Simon) and Ma Sandra (Jenny) really did bring justice to the characters. Their performance was intriguing and beautiful, to say the least. The plot itself was perfection. It didn't leave space for one to be bored and at every step, a lingering sense of mystery was present making us excited about what was going to happen next. This itself put Love Me If You Dare apart from all other dramas I have seen. There were no cliches. Everything was unpredictable, leading to a much-appreciated excitement towards this drama.

Loved the ending though I believe they left it open for a possible sequel. There are many theories about this ending which certainly make sense (if you want to read them after you watched the whole drama)  however, I'm still wishing for a second season because I just can't get enough of Simon and Jenny duo...

Overall, I believe this is a must-watch drama for every drama fan. Highly recommended!
