Wisa vs. Noina
Overall this drama was a quick watch that made good on its promises of romance and comedy. I haven’t watched many Thai dramas so I can’t speak on how it compares to other titles, but it was certainly entertaining considering my regular gravitation towards c-dramas and k-dramas.
It was formulated in a familiar way, but not incredibly predictable.
What was good about it?
1. The actresses and actors were all pleasant to look at, and I think I’ve found my favorite Thai actress in the main character “Ying Ying,” (Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul or ‘Baifern’). Really beautiful and carried her character well.
2. The story line was perfect for all the hilarity that ensued. At the start BFFs Ying Ying and Noina were two peas in a pod, running into all kinds of trouble.
3. ‘Pang’ who was the older sister and ‘Paper’ the young nephew added lots of adorable and relatable moments that reflected what you see in a family. I enjoyed their scenes because they gave me a sense of what Thai relationships are like between sisters, family, and friends. Wholesome and cute!
What were the not so good parts?
1. NOINA!!!!!! Between her and Wisa who was the initial villain, I think Noina really takes the cake. At first the dynamic between Ying Ying and Noina was admirable; life long besties trudging through life together that shared an equal amount of craziness, BUT as things progressed it became painfully obvious how dislikable Noina’s character was. She never contributed anything to the big scheme to make Dr.Korn her husband and always messed the situation up. Now, this alone wouldn’t have bothered me if it wasn’t for how much she complained and screeched like a spoiled brat about not getting what she wanted. It also appeared like she couldn’t read a room properly i.e. the instance where Dr.Korn announces his canceled his wedding and she jumps from her seat to cheer and shout, like how unsympathetic and insensitive, truly! She was no better than the evil, cheating Wisa, all Noina cared about was marrying a man with wealth, a handsome face, pedigree and a desirable career. She was shallow, annoying, ungrateful, petty and obnoxious. I was absolutely LIVID after Noina’s fight with Ying Ying because of the accusations that YY planned to take Dr.Korn the whole time, after everything that YY did to help her friend, even so far as denying her own happiness for the rotten Noina’s dream wedding. What really aggravates me though, is that Noina already knew that she didn’t love Dr.Korn and that she was growing feelings for Dr.Pat and yet still wanted the former. There is no denying, that Noina knew Dr.Korn’s first love was not herself, but Ying Ying and that he didn’t like her at all. Noina just lusted after whatever Ying Ying had; Dr.Korn, attention, and achievements. The terrible thing is that YY wasn’t some attention seeking twat that just stole everything from Noina, she was simply a natural at attracting people to her and at being noticed, it was her kindness and personality that made people like her. I have no doubt that if Noina had made her thoughts known, and told YY how she felt inferior, left on the sidelines and all that, Ying Ying would certainly have embraced her and included her more. All in all Noina was a pain to watch and difficult to understand. Glad she’s only a fictional character because her actions really got on my nerves.
2. Ying Ying and Dr.Korn got together and only had happiness in the absolute last minutes of the last episode. I felt like they deserved more time together before closing the whole show off. Either way they made a cute pair it’s just a shame it took so long for them to be able to couple up, lol.
