Sabpaak Jai Naai Jomying (2020)

Honestly was a quick and easy watch, no kiss and slap, nothing complicated, just a fun little short story and the characters weren't bad at all. First the ML seems like a complete jerk, put off, but he really isn't so bad, It's a story that we're all familiar with, when it comes to a fantasy drama and those aren't usually dramas I watch but I liked it. It was like watching a movie; plus I liked everyone. Sometimes it's nice to watch something that isn't toxic in any way, shape or form tbh. Also I like Mild and Nine wasn't bad at all! There's also this part where the guys are always group hugging and I find it absolutely hilarious xDDD so anyway, if you're looking for something fast and easy, you need a filler or you're just bored, give this a shot.

Also shout out to my dude Neko, always coming through w/ the subs!

Thai female characters really need to stop screaming.

The premise of “Love You My Arrogance” is actually quite interesting. I knew going into it that I have to lower my expectations because this is really short - 8 episodes of 15 mins each. Unfortunately, I still came out frustrated because the execution is really not there.

My biggest complaint, and the most subjective complaint, is how loud these women are. My ears were bleeding when I was watching the first couple episodes. Brownie can’t stop screaming at the top of her lungs, professing her love for Sun. Then she yells and cries and I want to stop watching so badly. I persisted, thinking it will get better and it’s only a short drama. Then Anna keeps this annoying tradition going. She can’t seem to speak normally and raises her voice even when she’s not arguing. She also acts like a know-it-all and is very argumentative. I know this probably only affects me and I understand Thai dramas can be like this. My tolerance is just not there, especially when I don’t like the two female characters.

Luckily, the boys are better and they have a cute little brotherhood going. How they like to grab and hug each other is funny. Sun is handsome but Pete is the MVP.

Acting wise, it was OK. I expected a little more from Nine and Mild. Plot wise, they spend too much time on Brownie screaming and apologizing. I wish they had spent more time in the Anna-helping-Sun part. The final twist in the end is interesting but it’s so short and casually mentioned that I couldn’t grasp the full impact. This short drama also seems like a tourism promotional production.

I heard season 2 is a little better and I might check it out. As a standalone, I am not sure if I will recommend it, and definitely not fellow viewers who are sensitive to screeching and screaming.
