Craven meets selfishness
Long drama with despicable humans gaslighting & screwing each other viscously mercilessly and blissfully.Acting was OK, just Lakorn style.
Music was done well
Summary: void of any humanity this drama is a relentless
Portrayal of greed + selfishness + bankrupt character = Lakorn madness. Have fun, it’s a twisted ride.

It's a dark series. The plot will make you question yourself and your relationship. A story that makes us think are we really as good as we think...
The characters are grey shaded than black and white, each tainted with their own mistakes and regret. They are someone who don't believe in fairytale.
The characters follow the survival of fittest.
Characters are selfish and self-centered, ready to throw others under the bus to save themselves.

Alot of Gaslight/Girlboss/Gatekeep
Actually a great show with a great plot and alot of Gaslight/Girlboss/Gatekeep at max. The show single handedly does the opposite of what you want to happen. Everyone is well written except for one (Meen) but trust me you won't get attached to her at all so she's just whatever. Everybody will become your faves as there storys are just amazingly good. It tacked alot of real life problems but it's easy to understand, It also uses lgbtq+ in a normal and natural way instead of showing it in our faces just so they can call it representation. Just give it a try if you like the thrill.Was this review helpful to you?
This is my one of the most awaited series for 2022 . The story is really great. I like that every character (especially the Blossom Squad) appears to look like a villain and an innocent one. Since this is a mystery drama, everyone is suspicious and this will literally give you trust issues. I also like that they add a little romance here and make you smile while watching and that's what makes this series balance. What I don't like here is their friendship is really toxic. Honestly, when their friendship tear apart, they don't need to be reunited.
Acting/Cast:
Everyone did a great job here especially the girls. Pat Chayanit acting skills stands out for me especially in the final episode.
Music:
I am so obsessed to their OST. I knew it already that when Aye Sarun will sing a certain OST, the show will gonna be great.
Rewatch Value:
This is worth to rewatch.

The Most Toxic Show I've Ever Watched
I went into this show thinking it would be something like The Jungle with people being mildly naughty and everything resolved with happy endings and instead I got a gut punch of insane toxicity. All of the leads are terrible people who commit major crimes and betray each other repeatedly for 18 episodes. But it's a cracky ride. Even though I hated almost every person in the story I couldn't stop watching. Do be aware that this show has scenes of S.A. & abuse and could be triggering.Let's sum up what happens to everyone (spoilers ahead!)
Prae:
* Crimes: Ordered her friends to throw Pal off a balcony and then covered up the murder as a suicide. Allowed her friend's brother to be S.A. and didn't call the police to avoid getting caught with drugs. (I don't consider her sexual preferences crimes, nothing wrong with being a freak but don't be stupid enough to get recorded doing it)
* Punishment: sex video leaked at wedding, kills self
* Deserved?: Hell yes. She was abused growing up but that doesn't excuse a damned thing.
Wanwan:
* Crimes: Helped murder Pal and covered up the crime. Arranged the leak of Prae's sex video to drive her to suicide. Slept with Meen's boyfriend.
* Punishment: Goes insane, murders mother and brother, goes on the run
* Deserved?: Yes but it's not very satisfying since we don't know where she is at the end of the story
May:
* Crimes: Helped murder Pal and covered up the crime. Helped Sarat cover up the death of her lover's wife. Stole information from Wanwan's computer to give to Wee.
* Punishment: Murdered by Wanwan's mother after Wee S.A. her and terrorized her
* Deserved?: No, no one deserves to be S.A. or stalked. I wish the show had handled her ending better, this left a very bad taste in my mouth after everything the show did to emphasize she didn't deserve the S.A.
Meen:
* Crimes: Covered up Pal's murder. Took money from Pitch's mother to break up with him. Sent the video of Wanwan's brother having sex with Pal to Wanwan's mother.
* Punishment: Married to Pitch who turned out to be an evil bastard who masterminded his sister's death. Also stuck with an evil mother in law for life
* Deserved?: Yes, I was afraid she'd get a happy ending because she was such a self righteous hypocrite but she got what she deserved in the end.
Sarat:
* Crimes: Covered up Pal's murder. Pushed her lover's wife down a flight of stairs, causing her death, and then covered up the crime. Began a relationship with Term while lying to him about her identity.
* Punishment: Prison after she confessed to the crime to get a clear conscience
* Deserved: Hell yes but she also got the closest thing to a happy ending because Term is visiting her in prison and still cares for her. She also gave away her fortune to a foundation. She has the best shot at redemption in the end.
Pal:
* Crimes: Drug dealing, allowed her friend's brother to be S.A. and didn't call the police to avoid getting caught with drugs. Attacked Meen with a pair of scissors. (I don't consider her sexual preferences crimes, nothing wrong with being a freak)
* Punishment: Thrown off a balcony by her friends
* Deserved: No, she was awful but her friends were worse

So Good
I'm not far in it but oh my god. Honestly I thought this was a BL at first which is why I started watching it but actually it's kind of a murder mystery between all the characters... and I really love mysteries especially betrayal stories. It's very interesting as of now. The acting is top notch and characters are easy to connect to but also easily suspicious as well. I’ll definitely keep watching when I have more time. If you’re someone who hates back-stabbing or one of those people who hate plots where you could possibly hate everyone in the series then I wouldn’t recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing show with star cast!
So far, I have watched 2 episodes and it's already extremely hooking. You always question whether a particular person is guilty and also leaves you questioning, how many secrets does each person have? What one of the characters has said is true tho, the BLOSSOM group is the "bitchy" group, who have secrets and my the betrayals are in already! I already have a hunch as to who the culprit it, but who knows. It could be the most unexpected person??In terms of acting, everyone has done a tremendous job, however the actor portraying Pitch could widen his emotions a little bit, as I feel he underacts quite alot. Aye Sarunchana is amazing as always and who could believe she's only 21!!! This girl has talent and should be given more roles. Besides this, Jan is always great. I saw her as the mean bully in "Who Are You", but here her character is totally contrasting and makes me show sympathy towards her. My give that girl some space! Also, the actress portraying Prae's mum is amazing and she clearly portrays the distress and anger in the second episode.
I wish the music had more range, but anyhow this is a good watch and would recommend to anyone!

Y'en a pas une pour rattraper l'autre
Cette série à suspense n'est pas le genre de drama que je regarde d'habitude et je m'y suis penchée un peu par hasard, un peu par curiosité, parce qu'elle était dans les suggestions MDL. Et je dois dire que j'ai été plutôt surprise. Est-ce que j'ai aimé l'histoire ? Pas tellement, mais ça c'est dû à ma préférence assumée pour les dramas hyper romantiques et neuneu. Est-ce que c'est une bonne série ? Oui quand même, donc objectivement je suis obligée de donner une bonne note et tant pis si l'histoire m'a mise mal à l'aise - à commencer par l'horrible générique avec ses images glamour et ses bouquets de fleurs sur lesquels rampe une araignée aussi énorme qu'effrayante. Dès le début le ton est donné.Cette série thaïlandaise est visionnable gratuitement sur la chaîne Youtube de GMMTV et le casting est composé de nombreux acteurs familiers des BL, de séries pour jeunes et de lakhorns plus traditionnels (Not Me, Cupid's Last Wish, To Sir with Love, F4 Thaïland Boys over Flowers, An Eye for an Eye, etc...). Une bonne partie de la note élevée que j'ai attribué à ce drama est due à leur talent, car ils sont tous très doués, jouent naturellement et interprètent leurs émotions de façon juste, crédible et sans exagération. Je m'attarderai plus sur les actrices qui interprètent les 5 personnages principales, puisque ce sont elles que l'on suit plus particulièrement. Elles donnent vie à des jeunes femmes torturées, sournoises, capables de s'entraider dans des moments graves et se trahir dans d'autres, très attachantes et finalement très humaines. On comprend leurs motivations, on a peur pour elles, on les plaint à cause de leurs familles toxiques, on les aime autant qu'on les déteste. Et peu importent leurs mauvaises actions ou leurs mauvaises décisions, on a envie qu'elles s'en sortent.
C'est une série réaliste, moderne et jeune, plus "occidentale" dirons-nous, qui s'écarte donc des codes habituels des dramas thaïlandais dont on a l'habitude, tels que les BL et les Lakhorns mentionnés ci-dessus. On sent une volonté d'apporter un vent frais et un nouveau point de vue sur des éléments problématiques qui, autrefois, seraient passés comme une lettre à la poste. Par exemple, la question du consentement, ainsi que de la non-responsabilité d'une victime de viol même si elle était consentante lors d'un premier rapport, et quelle que soit la tenue qu'elle porte, est abordée de façon claire. Les mentalités ont changé et ça se voit.
L'image est belle, la musique est sympa et moderne, néanmoins, sans vouloir spoiler, quelques points m'ont un peu dérangée et peuvent encore donner l'impression d'une série de petite envergure :
1) Pourquoi la police met-elle autant de temps à récupérer des vidéos de surveillance ? A relever des empreintes ? A localiser un téléphone portable ? Aucune raison, si ce n'est pour faciliter le scénario.
2) Les héroïnes vivent avec le souvenir d'une ancienne amie décédée (ce n'est pas un spoiler, on nous le dit dans le 1er épisode). Cette dernière vivait dans un immeuble et quand on considère les circonstances de sa mort, il est très surprenant que personne n'ait rien vu ni entendu étant donné le raffut que ça a fait... Ce point-là n'a pas été réfléchi par les scénaristes, de ce fait l'histoire perd en crédibilité.
3) Les amies de Meen lui tournent le dos au début, pensant qu'elle est responsable du suicide de Prae lors de son mariage (idem je ne spoile pas, on le sait dès le début). Elle n'est donc pas censée connaître certains déboires rencontrés par ces dernières. Or, Meen intervient et apporte son aide à l'une d'elle à un moment crucial, semblant tout connaître des difficultés que celle-ci a traversées, alors que ces problèmes se sont produits après leur rupture amicale. Là encore, ce point n'a pas été réfléchi par les scénaristes.
4) Dernier point, et là je suis plutôt mitigée et je ne sais pas trop quoi en penser. On voit des jeunes femmes qui tour à tour se soutiennent dans des moments graves, puis se trahissent et se tournent le dos à la première occasion... Enfin pas forcément la première occasion, plutôt quand des intérêts revêtant une importance majeure pour elles sont en jeu. D'un côté cela contribue à cette impression de réalisme aux personnages, ni bons ni mauvais mais simplement humains. D'un autre côté, quand on veut apporter un peu plus de féminisme dans une série et qu'on dénonce clairement le viol et le jugement sur des sexualités différentes, ça interroge sur l'intérêt de montrer une bande de copines qui se trahissent, à croire que les femmes ne peuvent jamais être totalement sincères entre elles. Cela envoie un message un peu contradictoire, surtout que la plupart des mecs de l'histoire sont montrés sous un jour moins tordu, d'où le fait que je ne sais pas trop quoi penser sur cet aspect là et sur le message que le drama tente de nous faire passer. Alors bien sûr, elles vivent des situations assez compliquées et extrêmes, et quand on est bien calé dans sa petite vie bien tranquille on ne peut pas savoir comment on réagirait à leur place. N'empêche... La question reste ouverte.
En bref, c'est une très bonne série, interprétée par des acteurs talentueux, avec de nombreux rebondissements et une intrigue sans temps morts qui nous tient en haleine jusqu'au bout. Evitez de la regarder si vous êtes de mauvais poil cependant, parce que l'ambiance est assez dure et pessimiste, mais elle apporte un vent de modernité bienvenu dans un secteur encore dominé par des lakhorns surjoués, aux clichés et aux codes vus et revus, tous plus ou moins conçus dans le même moule. Rien que pour ça c'est une bonne chose, et j'espère en voir davantage à l'avenir.

Plot atras de plot
Cara o casamento em si foi um plot que eu achei que tinha sido o noivo, depois fiquei na dúvida entre 2 das 4 amigas, ai depois eu vi que so uma delas parecia mesmo se importar com a morte da primeira.Para depois descobrir que a que morreu primeiro era extremamente malvada e manipuladora. Fiquei chocada com a amiga que matou o cara em coma, depois matou a mãe, matou a amiga e eu iludida achei que tinha acabado por ai, para descobrir no final que o que queria a prota morta desde o inicio era o proprio irmão, por ela ser uma malvada manipuladora. Comecei o lakorn muda e terminei ele calada e sem queixo, pois o meu caiu no chao com a construção do drama como um todo.
Sem falar que essa amiga que matou quase geral, foi porque sabia que a amiga malvada foi culpada sim te deixar os caras abusarem e não terem feito nada, ela nem pode se chamar de amiga porque a mulher usava os podres de geral pra conseguir tudo.

Lakorn moden
Dari Ep1, tiada siapa yang jangkakan bahawa siri ini akan menjadi semakin gelap dan kucar kacir. Setiap watak mempunyai dorongan dan alasan masing² untuk membuat tindak balas dan keputusan.Jalan cerita yang sangat menarik, penuh dengan adegan yang tidak dijangka! Setiap lakonan watak utama sangat meyakinkan dan hebat! Terutama sekali Pat. Aya Jan dan Fah juga tidak kurang hebatnya.
Cuma.. mengapa ada satu muzik tema? Boleh je selitkan beberapa lagi kot seperti siri F4.
Apa² pun, drama ini memang menggamit perasaan dan berkualiti!

It has everything except..
This really has everything only thing bit does goes wrong sloppy placement of scene or direction other than that everything good little logical mistake happens but fun to watch mystery really maintained but as I said many logical questions arises due to the reasons they gave and many characters are there just to hate them.It has intresting take on other aspects of friends relationship and other factors which fits well to the story.
I watched it weekly and it was great to be watched weekly beach watching will make many questions ? it has so many logical mistake as I said.
But fun to watch mystery is good and acting done good so go for it nothing nonsense unless you don't have taste for it so watch see if you like it you will or will not.
