Sleepless Society? I skipped that one featuring a creepy little boy, but this one I found rather watchable: just the opening credits are great. Also thankfully this series features no supernatural, ghost or horror (I was afraid at first, seeing the posters).

The main characters in 'Two Pillows & A Lost Soul' are past their twenties, we don't deal with annoing "teenagers" in this one. Wife let off some steam wrong time wrong place, at the party that ended bad. She's far from selfless but she's got her share of grief. She has a horrendous mother (who keeps ruining her life since childhood), too. Husband beats the wife, but apart from that he's having a cute gay romance line. No black and white characters here. They all have some pretty dark moments but I could relate. The sleep issues are incorporated well, which is stylish for this series theme. Same works for music.

Amongst all this, a romance blossoms that involves Bee Namthip, who is still so beautiful I didn't mind the age gap, yet it kinda even more underlined the loneliness of her character. Watching her getting on with complete stranger still had a depressed tone for me. Their bed scene was good, though. I can appreciate it as I've recently watched another age-gap series with Nune Woranuch, who was even older than Bee Namthip, and yet she still wasn't able to do a simple onscreen kiss better than twenty years ago.

All these characters just being themselves would make a strong drama even without the whole murder case.

Unfortunatelly, things get even darker than would be my taste.

I didn't like anything that happened in episode 9.

After that, I finished the series but it wasn't the same anymore.
I found the ending rather cheap.
