I came across this gem on YouTube while watching fan videos. I'm pretty much a sucker for intense romances and major angst, so when I saw some of it in the video, I went on to watch the lakorn. It not only had the aforementioned aspects I enjoyed, but also a great plot and awesome side characters to go along with it.The central theme of this lakorn is the idea of a red string of destiny that binds two people together; when it's the right time, no matter how far they are, this string will inevitably bring the two people together. We see this throughout the lakorn where Min and Day are constantly pulled apart by various obstacles, but are invariably put back together because of their strong connection.
Min is a great female lead; at first she comes off bratty but she realizes her mistakes early on and does her best to rectify them. I really like how she shows her gratitude and affections through actions, and not just words. She really had an endless love for Day, and you really gotta commend her for continuing to love him even when he's mean to her. Day just breaks my heart as well. He grows up with his dad who's mentally unstable and forgets Day is his son (before that he blames Day for the death of his mom, which is pretty sad) and has to work hard to support himself and his dad. Later on he falls for Min but then finds out her dad killed his mom; he chooses to forgive him but fate has its way of being crappy when he loses his dad. This makes him believe its karma for forgiving his mother's killer and causes him to leave. But his love for Min still remains.
One thing I can really appreciate is how fast-paced this lakorn is. It zips through the major plot points which keeps it engaging, but also allows time to digest the events that went on. I kinda wish more lakorns were as straight-forward as this, as sometimes I'm sitting through pointless filler. I also liked all the characters; they were flawed, but you could understand why (except I think the dad got off way too easy with the sh*t he pulled). A surprising favorite was the 2nd FL; I was prepared to hate her but I didn't expect that she had her own issues that made me pity her and understand why she was so attached to Day.
What honestly touched me was the sincere love they both had for each other. It sucked to see Day treat Min badly, and her having no idea why (hurting her hurt him too tho T.T). There was so much going against them (his mom's killer is her dad, his dad turned out to be alive, but was threatened by the 2nd ML to marry someone he didn't love or else, etc) that it seemed almost impossible that they could get together. He never forgot her though; he still kept the painting she made all those years and held on to the red string that caused them to meet initially. She also kept holding on and didn't change, believing in Day and their love. Ultimately they were able to get their HEA, though their ending was a bit rushed; I was there was more time allotted to seeing them being happy after all the tears haha.
Music here was great; I love the theme song for this show, it really brings out all the angsty feels. If you don't mind tragedy and anger-inducing moments from our ML, then I'd totally recommend you give this a watch. I'll definitely rewatch this for the angst and Min + Day.

do not wait just watch it, if you love passionate love stories
•How I started
I was scrolling through facebook and came across a video where FL dress starts shreadding as one thread gets stuck to ML bags. It made my heart flutter and I immediately searched for this lovely lakron and binged it for straight two days.
•Story
as you read above, the show open with ML selling clothes at street, as the municipal police raids, he runs with the stuff and brushes with FL and her dress thread gets snagged to his bag. She stops him and demands a compensation. ML who barely makes end meet agrees and asks for a few days time.
They meet again in the university but they have bitter start.
ML father is a dementia patient and requires care, when the FL finds out about his family she starts helping and eventually falling for him head over heels and thats the beauty of the show, as for ML he falls for her at the first sight.
They are about to get married but ominous incident happen and ML disappear, FL is waiting for him as if she is in a long distance relationship. The way FL adopts the life of ML and lives off making sketches at street is beautiful. Her eyes shines whenever she shows her ring and says she is married, but it gives heartache too, you will know if you watch it.
Three years later ML returns but she has GF, so how FATE brings them together.
•PLOT VIEWS
"Mitayuke Oyasin" which is mentioned in series saying that it is phrase from INDIA, is incorrect. Its a phrase from LAKOTA language used by Lakota people of North America meaning “all are related”
The love story is based on the mythology RED THREAD OF FATE, where the deity of marriage, has tied an invisible red thread to little finger to those who are destined to meet.
The love-story develops amazingly and gives butterflies. But then sad part comes and gives enormous bucket of tears. Seeing the pain of DAY and MIN it just shatters the heart to thousand pieces. I really got blown away in this sweet story. I felt pain seeing them apart. I loved how MIN stubbornly sticks to the one she loves not in irritating way but pleasantly. once she realized her true love she adopts DAY lifestyle to be with him. it was like her husband went to a war and she don know when he would return but is patiently waiting.
Side character such as namon and phon were weird and annoying but they did spice up the story with their tricks. I feel Phon was an immature person, he didn’t know what he wanted the whole time. He intruded, creates wedge and when finally thing go as he planned he backs off because he can see how much the couples love, insanely stupid but a saint decision.
And for Namon, she was just love deprived and charity love was what she was receiving.
Am a little disappointed with the ending of the evils
•ACTING/CAST
I just loved everyone in this lakron. Leads to supporting characters everyone delighted with with their performance.
•Lee Thanat as DAY steals the the heart and then crushes the heart yet again wins your heart. His expression of cold face matched his role as fighter and rich CEO. His build was good for the role of boxer and poor person. His eyes had the humbleness of street seller.
•Violette Woutier as MIN is amazingly talented and lovely. She looked purely innocent who just falls in love and doesnt give up. She loves DAY, no matter how hurt she is.
The chemistry was enjoyable, they did an exceptional job, and they kinda complemented each other on screen
•MUSIC
Music was solemnly beautiful with poetic translation of the OSTs.
Opening track “Ja yom hai tur kon diew” was full of melody.
“Mai chai reung bang earn” is another piece that I liked. It had an upbeat tone.
There was a combination of upbeat to melancholic music in terms of the atmosphere/mood of the series, each piece is chosen with the utmost care, emphasizing the fun, the suffering, the romance, the absurd.
•REWATCH
This series has touched my heart which very few dramas are able to do. I am extremely overwhelmed as I don’t really know how to express it. So its a must rewatch.
•APPRECIATION
The painting of girl and boy representing the red thread concept were applaudable
The mythological tale about RED THREAD OF FATE is worth knowing. I like folktales and love to know and share it.
•RECOMMENDATION
The trailer and teaser also worth watching, if you haven't watched ENDLESS LOVE yet, I would recommend to watch the teaser and trailer first. The drama is available on GMMTV youtube channel.

Really hard to rate this drama. On one hand I got attached but on the other the main couple their relationship always feels a bit lacking. Good dramas they don't have to tell you someone is in love, they SHOW you. Saying these things only makes sense if I can see their bond on screen. In the absence of this it felt shallow, not just their relationship but pretty much every character acts so random , like omg I love you will become omg this guy loved you more than me lol like what XD it didn't make any sense. But the absolute worst thing about the drama, okay see I don't mind stories about second chances, and if you choose to stay in an abusive relationship, physically or emotionally abusive I mean, I completely get where you're coming from because of something called trauma bonding. But trauma bonding like Stockholm Syndrome, is something that happens to a victim of abuse and if they make bad decisions because of this very real phenomenon, I would never blame the victims. But in this drama what really made me frustrated was the way everyone around Namon kept saying 'if she's abusive so what she's your mother' WTF. And they make her feel like a villain for it! I'm sorry but if Hitler got hit by a car he would still be a genocidal monster! Imagine someone telling his victims 'oh its okay so what if he committed genocide he's hurt now feel bad for him.' People, you do not have to maintain abusive relationships because they're 'family.' So that's what I mean the writing wasn't terrible but this is their thinking ffs. But bro, Lee Thanat is so gorgeous Lol he kept making me watch lol and there were some great moments and basically this i s the drama where you think this is going to happen and it does lol definitely guilty pleasure and I really thought the beginning was really good but sank in the middle.

Properti kurang niat, masa iya mata-matain si boss nya Day, fotonya udah kayak diambil kamera profesional. Endingnya juga ga sreg ah, kurang greget. Acting para pemainnya lumayan tapi overall bosen, ga recommend.
