How can one not love watching James? He showed a range of characterization here which is great. The story may be usual but the storytelling makes it set apart and effective. I'm glad to see James apart from his usual bully character.
I actually liked that they expanded him as a character and gave him new love interests, exploring his sexual identity…
On the contrary, I did not like the direction. I wished they did explore the possibility of Basti as 'bi' or gender fluid. It just feel they quickly reduce Ali's infatuation into a mere 'crush', this is because of 'fan pressure'.
The characterization was so great but I felt it was cut short and a poorly written storyline. They got too obsess with Erika and could have shine more light on say, Carrie.
I love Jadine because of their great portrayal in OTWOL. But in here, I was having a hard time differentiating their new characters to that of OTWOL. What's worse is the abandonment of potentially GREAT unusual love triangle storyline between Basti-Ali-Iris.
I like this kind of series, it was morally ambiguous that made you guessing what will be the final verdict. The main character who played the mother is great, altho I find it ridiculously funny when she has to adopt a different character and she still look like her. How dumb those guys are. I believe this is made for general public to watch so I guess I should forgive them for those meh gore, had this been a R18 TV, it will be great, they could have done a better job with it because it was kinda stupid when you burn someone's mouth but they don't have burn on it. Sorry but the kid is so annoying, anything she does annoys me from singing to being psychotic to doing nothing. If this was real life, the judge who ruled out the 4 suspects AND whoever let them out will be investigated. It was really sad ending.
At first I thought the Roong personality was stupid but then I understood why they put it there. The whole psycho Yuki was well crazy. If I was the defense, I would just call it a shit made up show of prosecution since the defense had no chance of even cross-examining her. The dad deserve much worse than a bullet in bath tub. He is shit. Well, even the rapists. No amount of humanization story can save them.
Actually, I think this is the point: they are disconnected to the others: they care only about money. They don't…
Sure, I get that. But they could at least explore the characters of the Konkan family. They have thrown suspicion early on into their family and in fact, they appear to be the first suspects - but they quickly gone into nowhere. The writers could have provided more of who they are and why they don't care - and at least use the money motive to keep them as one of the main suspects.
Currently on episode 15. It's annoying how little time or exposition was given to Konkan family (Vegas' family). They started the story great, putting the groundwork that Konkan was a greedy man who wants money - but that was pretty much it, he was not even a suspect; it seems the whole family is disconnect - with only Vegas that matters in the storyline.
Very good series. I followed it through week to week in Netflix. The only thing I wished is that the series is longer, they could have explore a lot more characters.
Fan is :)
And I don't get episode 13, it was super lame.
The music is so beautiful. Very nice to listen to.
The series is quite sad - for obvious reason - but they made a point of putting in comedic antics from Dreary and Ong.
I am so glad that Netflix is putting on more Thai series
