The overall story was good. It really keeps your attention. As stated by another poster, Definitely watch it with an open mind. I really would not consider this a spoiler. Many of the main points of Ignorance, Bigotry, Homophobia and Racism were discussed openly. But there is a problem with the racism. I am not sure if this is just a Thai thing or just maybe a blind eyed director and costume designer who tried to slip it through the cracks and hoped nobody noticed. This watcher noticed and was not pleased. The character of Baitong: (Banana Print Pants and shirts, Watermelon Pajamas, Hand-cuffs design on his pants). This was a foul move to do to a black male. His character talked about the (racism) very briefly and how he deals with being hated / treated just because he has darker skin.......... A person who deals with the name calling daily would not wear or go around wearing clothing with those designs. There were other points of racism in the series also with the rich characters actions. But I will let you catch it as you watch it.

James Rusameekae Fagerlund (Baitong). I wished that they did not make his (Support Role) funny side kick character as a make up artist so Flamboyant and at times the dutiful serving black maid. This type of gay Male character is known throughout the gay community, But there are also so many others who do make up who are not so Flamboyant or the serving dutiful black maid. ......... Before anyone jumps on what I wrote here, There is Nothing wrong with being Flamboyant....Everyone should be themselves at all times....... I just think its time to start showing gay characters in supporting roles who are not so Flamboyant as the funny side kick character.
