Such Messy Fun
When GMMTV aired their first trailer for PS I Hate You, I was immediately intrigued and added it to my Plan to Watch. When I finally had time to sit down and check it out, I couldn't take my eyes off the show! The story's twists and turns are unpredictable, and every episode ends in a cliffhanger. I truly could not believe who ended up becoming the ultimate villain.
What makes PS I Hate You such a good show are the clues that the writers planted in each episode. The clues build up more and more as the episodes go on. Just when you have an idea who is really at fault of each of the characters' suffering, new information is uncovered and you don't know what to believe.
This show is unsettling, the characters become more and more sinister as the episodes go on. It's fascinating watching these characters ruin themselves over and over again, trying to atone for their sins and mistakes from the past but ultimately burying themselves deeper in their own mess.
You do have to turn your brain off at some points. For example, everyone just seems to agree that Meen is the one to blame for Prae's death. The evidence points to Meen but despite Meen being Prae's best friend and literally no motive, no one seems to question the evidence.
Despite these issues, I would say a fairly neatly written series (with some odd bits and pieces that aren't really explained but they're small enough to not ruin the experience). The main characters are consistent throughout the series (except one character at the end but I'm going to ignore it lol) but have very believable character development. The bad things they do are with (mostly) good intentions, and although I want to wring their necks at times, I found myself rooting for all of them at times.
(And just to be clear, I'm talking about the main characters. There are some rotten, ugly-hearted people in this show that deserve no sympathy and only a slow, painful demise.)
Don't even get me started on the acting! The only one of the main characters I wasn't familiar with was Pat who plays Wanwan, but I would say she was the strongest actress of the bunch. I hated her character to pieces, but Pat delivered! Wanwan's pain was my pain. All the actors were at their absolute best!
I wholeheartedly recommend this show. It was a blast to watch and 18 episodes went by in a flash. The last episode does end in a cliffhanger, but honestly, I'm not mad. What would this show be without cliffhangers!
