You’re missing the point. The series is not about shaming sex work or saying being a pornstar is something to…
I think the ‘punishment’ is that he is having done to him what he forced others into. Yes, he pimped himself out to get ahead but it was always with him being able to leverage his body. What he had done to the others was not allowing them to also leverage their bodies, he used them as fodder so he could avoid the same treatment and get further ahead while they get discarded. Now, he is in the same position as the others he ‘sacrificed’. Not because x work is shameful but because he is now being used as fodder, deprived of any dignity. He is now the disposable one and it’s not something he can get out of or manipulate. Truthfully, I would have loved for him to go to prison for his crimes but this ending is also a sort of poetic justice.
Just started this series. Comment section is full of spoilers so I'm not going to scroll through it. Is everyone…
Leads are not red flags to each other. Series is a surprisingly balanced portrayal of not only most of the characters but also that the wins are not too easy or too hard.
One thing I really loved about the Payback finale is that it didn’t just close the main story. It made room…
Agreed and I’m glad that the integrity of the story held up to the end by not automatically making Sun the lead in the Memory series. Sky was the more polished actor. We see and appreciate Sun’s potential and know that he’s still on the journey to his full potential so it was good to see that the series acknowledged that too. 😊
This was a good series. Best of 2026 so far. If I could only show one scene to sum up just how good this was, I’d point to the scene where Sun says sorry to his brother in the last episode. The way his voice broke. This dude does immense sadness so well (perfect casting).
I’ve been holding my breath and refraining from commenting in case it all went downhill after starting so well but the series has been consistently good. We’re going into the finale with a near perfectly executed series. Well done to the cast and production team. I’ve discovered some new actors I wasn’t familiar with. Hope to see more of them in the future and hope they don’t suffer the breakout curse.
I think the transition from friends to something more was fine. I have no issues there, I just think the story was stuck in a rut. A lot of episodes felt like filler episodes - not because nothing much was happening in the relationship front but because nothing much was happening to build on any part of the story, period.
I felt like the story had been stuck in a rut for a few episodes now but I really enjoyed episode 9. Even before the last 10 minutes, I was already enjoying the fun time they were having on the water. The last 10 minutes is just the icing on the cake. 🙂
I hope that Progress and Almond’s next project is one where they tackle a meatier role. Perhaps with a heavier topic/story. Progress has the potential to do well in those types of roles where he can show his acting.
Tell the truth i didnt feel the same chemistry between Tiger and Nao as like between Athit and Dao or North and…
Yup. I just watched the special episode and I forgot all about them until they showed up. I do like them as a couple it just didn’t give much. North and Johan are my favorite story but the special episode solidified Arthit and Dao as my favorite couple. I could watch a continuation of their relationship without ever getting bored.
