This drama was surprisingly really good. It started out slow and boring in the beginning, but got better the more I got into it. it gets super interesting once they get into the dirty side of politics.
I loved Bow in this. Loved the drama and thought it was cute. One of the better ghost lakorns I've seen. It's more on the happier side than the usual dark ghost stories.
so as of episode 12 the male lead has raped the female lead, physically assaulted her, mentally harassed her,…
Wait, I thought he only got his wife pregnant. The friend's baby belonged the to female lead's brother. Anyways, totally agree with you about disgusting male lead. Dude got what he deserved.
So if you're looking for a romance or even a slap/kiss romance, you should probably skip this drama. It's a dark revenge story that has a lot of pain and suffering. That being said, I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would have. It was fun seeing the characters play each other with strategy and manipulation. There were a ton of great grey characters. Also, I loved the cinematography. It gave off a murder mystery vibe, which is appropriate for this plot.
I found this pairing super refreshing. Pat is like a protective mother hen. She's a fierce and and fashionable single mother. She doesn't really fall under the typical n'ek tropes. She's strong and not afraid to fight back. The main couple complement each other very well.
The main character is a total psycho. I'm particularly talking about how he stalks, kidnaps, and rapes the girl. And then afterwards locks her up in a cage and walks away whistling with a smile on his face. I'm so pissed off at the ending. He didn't learn anything! He only got the girl cuz he got her pregnant and they made it seem like she would be a terrible mother if she raised her child fatherless. I wished she flew away and never saw him again. He didn't repent his actions at all and still acted like the same possessive jerk that he was.
About 1/3 of this drama was just cat fights and girls being catty. Had to fast forward through those parts. Since this is a remake, it seems like the writers acknowledged how psychotic some of the characters were and exaggerated these traits so that you know it's ridiculous.
Wish they hadn't badly edited Kai Ko out. The movie would've been so much better without all that terrible editing. Other than that, it was a good wrap up of the movie series.
