"I quit my monotonous job and am now freelancing in a field I love that funds me enough to have a nice place but now I have to trash all my equipment and abandon all my clients..."
Look I love these shows, I have watched a whole bunch but every time this happens the little string in my brain holding my sanity together frays just a little bit more.
I'm a westerner so I'm fully aware I'm viewing Thai media through that lens but I'm really curious how the average Thai viewer feels about the really really extreme (again, from a western POV) filial piety stuff cause it absolutely drives me up the wall whenever a grown ass independent adult obeys without question.

I know nothing about how the law works in Thailand, but surely it is extremely illegal to imprison an adult against their will and even have bodyguards to stop them leaving?
