2020s most addictiveThai Lakorn so far....

First of all So Wayree regardless of the acting, character development, twists or chemistry, happens to have many questionable themes in it which might not be suitable for some people. So Wayree is a drama, which I felt, was written in a way to mostly cater to the Thai Lakorn fans. It has got so many scenes that look thrilling but in real life is actually criminal or very unethical. The first scene between the main leads itself was pretty outrageous. The characters did things ranging from drugging someone to rape to kidnapping to murder (and don't think all this was just the villains in the drama, the protagonists did some sh*t too).
That said the overall drama was pretty good. The push and pull romance (although pretty annoying at times) was good. The chemistry between the the 2 leads was superb (I've always been a fan of Mookda and even though this is the 1st drama of Kem's that I have watched I really liked him). I also kinda liked her with Amp (who had previously worked with Mookda on the drama "Massaya") because I felt like his character got over his prejudice and accepted her for who she was and later supported the 2 leads even after getting rejected.
The 2nd lead couple (the FLs bff and the MLs brother) were amazing together with as good a chemistry as the leads (they should have their own spin-off in my opinion), they also added a lot of fun scenes in the drama which I really appreciated (Na is hands down the best Thai lakorn side-character I have seen, from her fashion style to personality, I loved everything).
The antagonists were great as well. I loved the actress playing Pam. I really liked the characters of Traitot and Krit because it proved to me that how playing a gay character does not mean that an actor will only get BL drama offers (The main reason why many thai actors are now refusing to participate in BLs is because of the fear of getting typecast) and the fact that they treated their relationship like any other (instead of problems with acceptance they had other common issues too).
So Wayree also touched on several serious topics. The fact that the FL felt the need to hide the fact that she was raped instead of reporting it simply because of fear of ridicule by her family and society was upsetting (and it does happen in a lot of asian countries). There were other instances like people manipulating the media to help themselves, parental pressure and conducting corporate espionage just to make profit etc. This was the main reason why I liked the drama (It also reminded me of "Kluen Cheewit" which had a similar mix of serious topics and thai lakorn cliches).
In conclusion if you are a thai lakorn fan this drama is a must watch.
