For a better experience watch the 2001 version
This will be a criticism borne out of frustration . Three issues I have with this take of this story -
1. The biggest issue is the casting of the main heroine. She does not give off the sense of vaunerability that this character demands. She gives off the vibe of a self indulgent brat that one gets more annoyed with than feel sympathy for. This is magnified when the main villain plays her role so well that you feel sorry for her. I did not feel that in the 2001 version. Same character different delivery. But when the heroine doesnt really hit the key notes you have a problem with that dynamic.
2. There was no need to make an already dramatic story have more drama. This completely suffocates the story in the later half and I got totally exhausted.
3. The self reflection scenes of the heroine were either cut or they ran out of time because they wasted too much time with the other carnage. This makes this just another random Thai drama. I can tell you that was not the case with the 2001 version.
Watch this if you are a fan of the actors or a sucker for carnage. Watch the 2001 version for a little something different.
