PENTHESILEA
Greece
Holy Sh*t,that was GREAT!
I started this one with no expectations.I just was in the mood and the very short synopsis sounded really interesting.Plus is only 8 episodes so i didn't hesitate at all.
I rarely watch Thai Dramas unless is a BL.Iam not familiar with non -BL actors and iam clueless about Thai productions in general.
Iam speechless about the Top quality of this Drama.I always praise the Koreans,but this one is at top tiers indeed.
Direction & Cinematography at its very best pulls you immediately in the dark and gripping story.Sometimes too dark to handle..literally!!As many scenes are shooted with the minimum light.But the dark atmosphere added alot.I totally loved all the cinematic techniques they used.
My only complain is about the music which wasn't intense enough for such a strong and dark story.Unfortunately this factor ruined the perfect 10 this production deserves.(iam not talking about my final rate only about the technicalities)
Cast & Acting.I don't know any of the actors i can't really judge their skills as never saw them before but from what i saw here everyone was just fine,and almost perfect for their roles.
Story & Characters.
Unique and very interesting story.Not beating around the bush.It has a very straightforward plot.
We've been introduced to the main characters and their motives from the very start.
There is cheating,adultery, two couples and a magical and evil mobile phone which deletes people.
And the 2 love birds decides to get rid of their legal better halves.And here starts the trouble.Lol.
I will not get into any discussion about morality,how bad cheating is bla bla.Take it as it is because yes cheating is the main reason everything started.
I owe to tell you that you will not get any answers about the device(who made it,when,how and why)so don't be disappointed because of it.Just follow the story and let yourself immerse into it.Also we don't get to know the characters in depth but still we can understand them.
Obviously there are not loveable characters.Everyone is victim and perpetrator at the same time.
There are few twists and turns which makes this drama more juicy and spicy.
Don't "hate" the ending.Someone may think is an open one,some other -like me-is ok with it.Again just enjoy the ride.
No spoilers no tips and no explanations.Iam telling you Delete totally worths your time.You will be pleasantly surprised.
Strongly recommend that!
