Find Yourself (2023)

Sweet but could have been better

Being a remake of a cdrama, naturally this series will be compared a lot to the original. The Thai remake is far from being a perfect adaptation but in many ways, I find that to be a good thing.

One of the aspects that I disliked in the original is that I grew tired of how many episodes the series had and how long they kept the main leads separated. The SML had more of a presence in the original. Though he was a better character than this version, it still irked me to have to wait for the leads to find each other again. This was the biggest negative of the original for me. Made me feel like watching that series was pointless. But because the Thai version has cut down episodes to 16 instead of 41, I quite enjoyed the pace of the series.

The other thing I disliked in the original is the FL's brother, who original was a wonderful character and I loved the siblings together, turned into a massive hypocrite regarding his sister's relationship. Though the brother's character was not as fleshed out in the Thai, at least you don't start to hate him. At least I didn't. He showed growth towards the end.

The negatives of the Thai drama are that the chemistry is not great between the couples. The best moment was when the FL got drunk. And no, there is no RAPE scene or non-consensual sex happening in this show. All will be cleared regarding that situation if you continue watching.

My favourite secondary characters were the office staff. The leads also did a good job considering the script.

I loved the OST - I'm Missing You. It's really beautiful!

Hope people give this version a chance.

Starting with A Rape and Nonkul So I'll Stop Now. No Thanks

First of all I'm not a fan of Nonkul and I thought I could overlook him for Earth and Pod and the rest of the talent pool this dramedy offers but...

A inebriated person cannot consent to sex even if they initiate it. It is up to the sober person to do the right thing and since that sober person is played by Nonkul I can't go on even for Earth and Pod.

So by having sex with Yin while she was drunk is clearly sexual assault and even in some plot twist this did not happen I don't care. Im over this crap. So with Episode 2 I gladly end any interest in this series but I will say this

Not a fan of the drunken sex thing regardless I could overlook it if GMMTV would have used one of the plethora of young men in their midst. Nanon, Ohm, Joong, Dunk, Pond, Nani, Dew, Kay, AJ or JJ I could go on to play Shane I would stick it out but because it's Nonkul I'm done. I'm sure the series will be a success but I really can't.
