Quick Synopsis:
Aom Aam has lived in her father's house all of her life. She was tricked into selling it and all of her possessions while on a trip to Korea, which was a set up by her best friend. Now, she has made a contract with a superstar named Mike saying that she will enter into a fake marriage with him so long as he returns her house.


My Thoughts:
Story Line:
I would have preferred if this version deviated a little from the Korean version and stuck more to the actual manhwa. I mean I do get it that they are doing this based off the Korean version but can't they stick to the original work. There are some little things that are different from the Korean version which I am glad to see. For example, Aom going to Korea instead of China. It makes it go back to the roots of the story. I have been to Korea twice and miss it dearly. To see footage of the places I have been brings back fond memories. Also, their love story progresses a bit faster in my opinion. I do like to see that they did keep it with Thai traditions and had a Thai wedding rather than the typical westernized wedding. I do love the house in this version a lot. It looks really beautiful.

Cast:
I love the actors but no. I hate that when I see them, all I can think of is Korean actors. All of their personalities seem to be stolen from them. When I see Aom acting, her smile and certain silly scenes some how remind me of Song Hye Kyo and Son Ye Jin. Guess that should be a good thing because she is portraying Song Hye Kyo's character but again I would rather just focus on Aom rather constantly picturing Song Hye Kyo. As for Mike, in the beginning of the series it felt like I was actually watching one of  Rain's dance routines instead of Mike's. He of course is like Rain since they are both singers/actors. Now the one that caught me off guard was Greg. He makes me think of Daniel Henney. I love Daniel Henney. Super big fan of him. Greg seems like a duplicate of Daniel Henney. Greg is Thai American. Daniel is Korean American. Both raised in America and then moved back to their motherlands. This just makes me think that they used Daniel Henney's personality to create Greg's character.

Music:
Good music. Like the theme song a lot. It is called "Oh Baby I" which is sang by Mike and Aom. That was a brilliant idea. So every time you hear it as the insert song with scenes that involve Mike and Aom it a testament of how the characters feel about each other. Of course, we all know its going to happen but this song just adds to us wanting their little love story to progress quickly so they can be together. :)

Overall I would rate this drama with a 4/5.
