The Feel-Good Part

The male and female leads in the show are both cute and engaging. It is the ideal combination of romance, comedy, and drama. Despite being a remake, it successfully captures the emotions of the original work. The story has a fascinating and unpredictable plotline. The plot may be predictable if you have seen the original series, but the remake is not uninteresting. The jokes are amusing and hilarious.

Disappointing Factor

The drama is a good remake. However, it is essentially an identical replica of the original series set in Thailand instead of Korea. The series cut some primary scenes from the Korean version. The plot became boring because of this. Even though the performers are well-versed, the chemistry between the male and female lead did not work out. The drama is fun but not as good as the original.

In-Depth Analysis

It is a remake of Another Miss Oh, one of the best Korean dramas. In Thailand, it aired as a Netflix original. Like the original, the drama is comedic, romantic, and engaging. It did not have the best plot, but it was entertaining and emotional. Twists in the play are difficult to foresee. The characters were sometimes under-represented. With engaging actors, the relationship was light and innocent. The family and other characters also supported the plot. It is difficult to imitate a big-hit drama, but the cast of Unlucky Ploy did an excellent job.

Star Power

The primary characters were Yong Armchair (Naii), Green Ausadaporn (Ploy), and Mind Waratthaya Wongchayaporn (Ploy#2). All the actors are well-known and have appeared in various films. They all gave their best try at acting in this drama as well. The intensity and romance were well-acted, and the audience was captivated for the entire film.

Overall Opinion

Overall, if you are a fan of the Korean smash Another Miss Oh, the drama is entertaining to watch. However, you may find it tedious because it is a replica. It is romantic, humorous, and full of drama and turns. The actors did an excellent job of conveying the emotions. Even though the script is not great, it is entertaining to watch even if you have not seen the original.
