Mon Garn Bandan Ruk (2019)

Looks more like untreated brain damage than time travel

We have quite compelling premise, more than likeable main couple cast, yet it's kind of... off, since the very 1st episode. The main girl acts out, spills the first minute that she traveled to the future, yet the person whom she tells this to - her mother - acts like she can't be bothered, she leaves her to deal with all the things AND with her husband all alone, so it's like she haven't told her. Main girl also acts crazy around her husband without sitting quietly for a second to think that (no matter her usual type), she had to have fallen for him else he would not be her husband in the future. Every woman in her place would at least take a good look at the guy, lol. Then she goes to work with NO problem, she is lucky she is working at the same place but still, after several years how the hell does she know what to do? Even the most repetitive work WOULD have some changes. How does she know her daily assignment? The list goes on and on... Basically, her main character keeps to brusquely dismiss things she should think hard about, then she easily does things she should have problem with. Someone did not write this right from the beginning.

Mik's male character is kinda far fetched, too. I get we are to know that he is a nice guy and a loving husband but they are no longer on their honeymoon. Even the nicest guy in the world would not put up with the main girl's behavior, not for this long (I haven't watched this long but I read the other review:) Why should he? He's not paid to be with her, is he? She keeps hurting him, he should react naturally. Again, it's like this got incompetent writer. First, it's said the main girl traveled 3 years into the future. Then all the characters in there say that she is now married for 3 years. If she did not even know him 3 years ago, then they could not already be married for the whole 3 years, right? They needed to meet, and at least briefly date, first. How many years in the future is she, then? Did anyone think before writing this?

So, I could not understand the story, and I could not understand the characters. The girl in her situation could either try telling the guy that the last day she remembers before waking up with him there, was years ago (no matter how crazy it would sound), or try to get along with him. Telling him nothing & treating him like cr*p was the worst option. And also kind of least credible... Like, she was at ease enough with him to almost/insult him? If he was a complete stranger, then I get she didn't want to get intimate, but to behave like this made no sense, either. His reactions, too. It was more like watching people with some kind of brain damage, than characters in comedy/romance.

It's also all very prolonged. Seriously, in her place, had he keep acting that way, I would tell him the truth. She acts like she doesn't have to care. Like she does have some option to get quickly back to the past, so it doesn't matter however she'll act. But she doesn't. We don't see her solving some sci-fi way to travel back. So, she cannot treat her husband like that indefinitely. At one point he takes her at doctor's. Had she told him that for her, before waking up she had short hair and she did not know him because for her, it was year XXXX (I don't know which), then he would probably taken her to a specialist. Nobody believes in time travel, they would probably suppose she had some kind of amnesia... In other words, brain damage, lol. He would also know that he cannot treat her the same. This way, it's going in circles. If this is going to be the only plot, then I'm not sure how many episodes I can withstand...

Dropped by episode 3, which the main heroine spent almost entirely doing crazy stuff to avoid sleeping with her husband (perhaps it would be better if she had... other than prolonging this idiocy even longer, as described in the other review).
