Dream or reality???

Let's be honest, this is probably not a 9 drama (at this point I rate dramas on vibes). The production value is low and the acting is bad but there's something that pulled me to binge watch this drama. It's entertaining.

The story is a bit predictable but it works. Who is the killer? We find out in the last episode.

In this drama everyone is trash and when I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE. When you think they can't go lower, they can. The bar is below hell.

We have trio fantastico, the villains. Win's father, Feye's father and Suea's father. All three of them suck. I do like how it's shown they have things they care about and want to protect, they are also not evil just for the sake of being evil, they went through some messed up stuff. There are layers to them. I also like how the drama didn't use that to excuse their shitty actions. They choose to be shitty.

The mystery. There's not a lot to say about it. The whole story involves an Island with a bunch of shitty people and a group of young traumatized people trying to uncover the truth with the power of friendship.

Main characters rated by their coolness:
1. Aya - Can't differentiate dreams from reality, constantly tired and confused but never gives up.
2. Mo - First impression was jealous girlfriend but second impression was a badass. She is smart and she takes no shit from anyone. I like how she didn't let Win be in her way, she wanted to find out the truth and she found out the truth.
3. Not a main character but still a cool character, police officer Tle - He is cool headed and he helped Aya whenever she was in trouble. I kinda shipped them but I don't mind that there was no romance.
4. Suea - He is a guy that easily believes anyone. He wanted to be on Aya's side but he also wanted to believe in his father so things were complicated for him. I like that he was honest even when he was doing the wrong things.
5. Feye - First impression bitchy, second impression brave. She is a strong woman.
6. Win - I didn't like this dude at the beginning. Why? I don't have a good reason, I just didn't like him. He always seemed shady and like he will betray his friends at any moment.
7. Yok - I thought she is naive but she is not. I thought she would be easiest to blackmail but I forgot people can be selfish and do things for themselves.

The ending is satisfying but then the plot twist hits. I don't think there will be a second season but it's fine. The plot twist doesn't ruin the drama, it just proves everyone is indeed shitty.

Would I recommend it? Yes. It's a mess but it's an entertaining mess.
