Drama Digest                     

A house that got once filled with happiness now seems lonely. The nature-friendly house seems beautiful, but the people living in this house seem detached because of a dark past. Sasin and Tawanchai are twin brothers who blame their father for their mother’s death and hate each other. Sasin leaves the house due to their regular fights and bickering, but when Nalin, a young woman the two brothers fell in love with, returns to the town and insists on just staying friends with them, Sasin tries to get closer to his love in other ways. Chatchai is the father who got found murdered, and police seem to suspect the former forensic chief physician, who threatened to kill Chatchai due to some altercations. Tawanchai is a probation officer who requests to join the hunting team of this case. The twin brother works together to find the killer behind their father’s death while struggling to sort out their love triangle and past family issues.

 The Feel-Good Part

It is a mystery thriller show investigating the process of a killer loss in a small town with two brothers trying to solve the case and sorting their feelings for a girl they both love. As the show provides gore and dark themes for the viewers, it also engages them with a romantic aspect. The mystery behind these questionable killings is unpredictable and brilliantly plotted alongside confusing twists and turns on every step. The conflict between the siblings and their one-sided love keeps the story grounded and realistic but doesn’t affect the investigating plotlines. The actor performing the twin’s character conveyed both of the opposite roles very well as their gestures, emotions and behaviour got differently presented. Even the murder was quite detailed and well-established, which gave an authentic vibe. The editing and production value got carried out well enough.

The Disappointing Factor

It could have been perfect, but a few drawbacks might affect the viewing experience for the audience, such as the lack of a proper storyline and character development for the female lead. It also had small plot holes that might get ignored if needed.

In-Depth Analysis

Divided Heart is a story that follows a murder investigation involving the twin brothers as their father was the victim. One is the hot-headed brother, and the other is introverted. Even though police attempt to catch this culprit, he kills again to confuse them without any possible leads or suspects. Soon the brothers take matters into their hands to solve this case but are suspected to be involved by the police to clear their name and find the real murderer, putting everything on the line. The brothers also have disagreements and relationship problems as they both fall for the same girl from their town who has already rejected them because she does not want to come in the middle of the two brothers. The complex investigations, tangled relations and a fearful villain that needs to get hunted create a series full of drama, emotions, plots and murders.
