Same situation where the dad pays off his debt using his daughter.
Leh Ratree (2015)
Similars
they both had girls who were sold off by their family to repay debt owed. Cubic the man was a mafia in hong kong.
A lot of common themes, here: working in the ML's house to pay off a debt, a hospitalized father, the ML tormenting the FL because of jealousy or not understanding his own feelings.
Both have Esther as the female lead, and the same director, for that matter. The storytelling styles are very similar, with the grandma, the businessman son, and the strong family values.
The newer Let Ratree is a remake, the basic plotline is the same while some things were changed.
This lakorn has the same main stars and I love Esther & Sean so much ???? I like the synopsis since I can somehow relate to Mami (Esther) ???? It is really a blessing in disguise for me that I have watched this ???? but anyway, this is a MUST WATCH because the chemistry is sooooo GREAT! I actually shipped Esther with Push but after watching this, guess I had a change of heart. ???? So yeah, watch this if you love Sake and Kate. ????????
The drama is also starring the Esther-Sean couple, so if you loved the couple, you'd love them in this drama as well. There was also the love-hate relationship between the characters before Sean's character realizes that Esther's character is a good person and falls for her first.
Both stories are about an arrogant and misogynistic man who meets a kind and beautiful woman that he "buys". She changes him. In both there are very good chilling scenes between the main couple
If you want the more watchable version of this theme (woman hired to have a child by a rich family), the try Leh Ratree. So Sanaeha has the same theme but is a more frustrating watch. The two FLs are also night and day (sarcastic and bitter vs innocent in Leh Ratree). But the MLs kinda act the same toward the FL, in the beginning at least. The MLs even have a similar look.
Female lead's father steals money from male leads company, when the male lead finds out he starts looking for the father, but father sells his daughter to male lead to cover his debts, Male lead gradually falls in love with the female lead.
Highly Recommended Lakorn - Leh Ratree is much better than Roy Leh Sanae Rai. Dad sells daughter off to pay for debt. It does follow the typical innocent female lead genre but the female lead is not stupid and the main male lead is a jerk-like in the beginning for a actual purpose who turns out to be a understanding and kind man. The chemistry between the main leads is amazing and it has very well developed characters. You will certainly enjoy the bickering. :)
