Nabi, My Stepdarling (2021)

Disappointed

I had high hopes for this lakorn. I have always finished lakorn despite being so toxic. But I cannot really finish this one due to unreasonableness of the characters.

First, the female lead. At first, she seemed smart and responsible. Whenever other girls are in trouble, she seemed to know what to do best. But when it comes to her own matter, she acts reckless and forget to use her brain. She doesn't know the meaning of precaution when it comes to her own safety. She often scolds the male lead for being unreasonable and irresponsible, but when trouble comes and needs saving, she relies on him.

The actions of the male lead is another big illogical in this series. At first, I thought, he hated the female lead. Then it turned out, he definitely knows his aunt is the murderer of his mother. Okay so he pretends to catch the killer? Yup okay, understandable. But later on it turned out, he doesn't want the female lead to know the truth because he is worried that his aunt might be put in jail . . . Like Seriously? You don't want to send to jail the person behind your own mother's death? The one who attempted to kill your father and the girl you are supposedly in love with?

Oh come on!

Another thing is, the couple seriously lack chemistry. Even the kisses were not even good. I don't know about the others, but I have definitely seen better.

Anyways, you can still watch this if you have nothing else to watch. Up to you:)

Never Again

So I'm a big fan of Joss Wayer's, probably the biggest. I love his face, his bod, his acting.... You get the gist. I wanted to watch this because of him.
I started this show and the storyline and great acting reeled me in, but every time Kawin misbehaved with Nabi, I lost it. During the flashbacks, you could see how sweet they both were, but all that grabbing someone against their will is textvook toxicity and it irritated me to my bone. I would've been able to tolerate it if Nabi slapped Kawin everytime he did, but she only writhed and whined. Do much girl power but no girl power at all.
I stopped watching when Kawin started kissing Nabi by force. I had no interest in knowing what happened after that. I was interested in the rest of the movie, but I won't stick around with the main characters pissing me off so much.
This movie doesn't change my opinion of Joss Wayar though. I can seperate fiction from reality and I believed he played the arrogant, rich, obsessive lover boy part impressively. ? to Joss. ? to Kawin. ? to Nabi for putting up with all of that shit. The fact that she let some guy push her around was awfully inconsistent with her no-nonsense 'facade' and a big letdown. This isn't a slight to the actress either, just the character. I couldn't bring myself to finish this. I definitely won't be rewatching.
