Entering middle age burdened by dated tropes from old lakorns era...

Okay, two women who are like 36 or 37 - so they both are like older than the stereotypes they STILL portray, and also older than their man, lol - would give us big fighting scene the first minute this "new" lakorn begins? I said in one review already that physical fighting belongs to school dramas tops, LOL. Apparently thai writers don't think so. Also, producers are still willing to cast actresses who ceased to be an eye candy AND did not update the childish demeanor from previous decades? Is this supposed to please the aging female audience into believing that flashy dress & makeup PLUS acting like harpy would miraculously make you an object of fiery passion of attractive guys who are good cuple of years younger?

Alright. Let's say I'll pretend I haven't noticed the leading ladies beauty a bit faded, lol. "Rita Sririta" was never good actress. Her old lakorns were pretty much unwatchable, even when she was young. Which she is not anymore, the super short skirts notwithstanding. Jooy Warattaya Nilkuha used to be charming, used to be decent actress. She's still good, only she's a bit past her blossom. Now. Their two characters are half sisters, they have the same father. They pretty much hate each other. As I am not a fan of a henhouse type of "drama", I didn't care much for the reason, whenever they were acting hysterical, I was like: Huh, whatever is their deal? Why can't each just live her own life? I want to concentrate on the romance lines as usual. Can I, in this show?

The Tags here lists "Rape, Sexual Assault, Infidelity, Love Square, Revenge, Forced Marriage"? Doesn't look like my kind of fun... The two guys are not interesting enough, not old enough, in short not compatible with the ladies. Neither of them looks like they would be into older women. Even if so, "Older Woman/Younger Man" trope usually doesn't have "Rape". I suspect this is some kind of middle-aged-fantasy crazy writer. I had enough after episode 1.
