The Feel-Good Part
The story had a promising start. The music and cinematography were highly praised. The male leads acting were praised. This series reflects on how much one can do for someone they love.
The Disappointing Factor
Even though the start of the plot was quite promising but it could not hold onto its story enough. The male lead’s character was more into toxic masculinity and proving their competence and power than trying to show their feelings for the female actor. Almost all the female leads were self-centered, selfish, and manipulative. The relationships among the characters were primarily toxic and unhealthy. The male leads were pretty hot-headed and stupid as their characters.
In-Depth Analysis
The series has a pretty terrible pacing and storyline. The storyline, although it started promising, could not really keep its standards and went round and round, repeating scenes and plot. The characters are a bit more on the selfish side and think they are better than everyone else and humiliate the other characters. An act of sexualization is also portrayed here where they tried to portray women as any possession to win over, and every rejection was taken as some challenge.
Star Power
Nawasch Phupantachsee (Pon) was entirely accurate with his portrayal of a tough son of a mafia boss, which was a vital point of the drama. However, Sarin Ronnakiat (In) suited well as a good son character in the first half but was a bit miscast for the rough-gangster look overall.
Overall Opinion
Even though the story started with a promising plot, it could not keep up to the expectations and felt very repetitive and draggy. However, if you have any favorite cast, it can be worth watching.
