A crazy melodrama

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I started this drama for Bella and James but wait they aren't a couple in this series, they are inlaws here and have a friendly bond.

●FIRST IMPRESSION
What comes to mind when hearing BLACKMAGIC? Something like, any person who does Blackmagic to someone is property or to harm them, and the person doing it is bad. But this drama completely changed my perspective of thinking and gave me a new way to think from the doer’s eye.
Also think twice before judging a person, even though he is wrong.

●PLOT VIEW
it was extremely crazy from the start to finish and felt like I was on a rollercoaster and would hit the lowest part of the loop all the time. There were so many couples and almost everyone had a double relationship filled with betrayal, infidelity, pregnancy, ego, honesty, social class, and love. Once I thought that why every relationship is woven into pregnancy thread, but this drama takes place in somewhat ’60s, and yeah people at that time and now also take this unmarried pregnancy issue as a pride thing for a family. This drama had kept the tension level high in every episode always telling that whatever you do will always come back. though it becomes boring during scenes where the character kept on crying for more than 30seconds and I usually 2x the speed.
Father and mother had who opened up a store and made it successful from the ground had 4 sons who were like the 4 pillars of the house. But karma strikes in and shakes up their world. The mother who led the 5men of the family couldn’t accept that her son would disobey his decision of marital match. It was also because of how headstrong Renu was and she thought she was making correct choices for her sons.
Karn and Piangpen story was touching while Renu and Achai story was satisfying.

●ACTING/CAST
Every character was exceptionally good. Even if they fought and played antagonists they made their character hateful with their performance.
There is no ML or FL but characters who have equal contributions to this complicated family drama.
Renu (Bella Ranee )portraying a dignified ex-prostitute, having strong will and stubbornness is delightful to watch. She still accepts her social class, her misfortune, her limited capability but embraces life and challenges as they come.
Kamol /Asa (James) was the typical boy next door and whom you can stop adoring. He was the guy for putting in the smiles in the drama despite high tension. His genuineness and easygoingness were delightful to watch.
Mother Yoi (Mai) is devastatingly amazing. I read that she is single and yet she portrayed this complex character of the mother with volcanic of emotions. She sure was hard to watch during the initial episodes but that is just the foundation of strong character as She completely absorbed herself in being the shrewish character.
Asee (August) his sweet yet flirty nature grabs the attention. Being the youngest of the family surely made him lovable and stubborn making you fall with his kindness.
Karn (Kuan) was pleasant stealing hearts as a village singer. His smile and shirtless body working at the rice mill were feasts to eyes.
Janta(Preeyakarn) and Wanna(Pie) these two simple hardworking girls stole some hearts with their amiable and Kind-hearted nature. They just naturally played themselves.

●MUSIC
The opening track“Phit Rue Thirak” was sung by Yoi(Mai), she put her heart and soul into the track. The lyrics translation was a tearjerker. Thanks to subbers.
Another song“jai si thao” sung by James Jirayu is soft and soulful.

●REWATCH
It was such a heavy drama that made me lose myself and I paused in between to cry out. But still, I would like to watch this drama again in the long future.

●APPRECIATION
I loved how each character gets closure with no loose ends in the story. Despite having so many characters and stories we get to see their folded past which gives them their fruit of karma.
The background portrayal as in the 60s time was beautiful. The village, market, lakes, and houses were beautiful.

●FAV SCENE
I loved the scenes of Renu and Asee's friendship throughout the show.

●QUOTES
All the quotes at the end of the episode were thought-provoking.
What we saw and thought is good is actually defective. What we thought was bad is worthy instead. There is an only illusion in life because of prejudice, to Yoi

●AFTERTHOUGHT
This drama shows that good deeds cannot be exchanged for wrongdoing and Karma will eventually strike you.
Black magic is bad but wrongdoings are fatal.
think twice before judging someone, coz you don’t know what they have gone through in past.
