Love, Hate, and Redemption

Rivalry" is one of the best Thai dramas in this genre. The story has a modern twist on Romeo and Juliet, but it’s not just about feuding families—their children, Win and Milin, are also rivals. They grew up in competitive families and have been competing against each other since school. Milin was taught to hate Win’s family and see them as enemies, even though she secretly liked him during high school.

Their relationship develops from being enemies to allies and eventually to lovers in a heartwarming way. They both work hard to earn each other’s trust and respect, and once they are together, they strongly support each other.

Another part of the story focuses on Win’s ex-girlfriend, who ends up marrying Milin’s father. This creates complications because Win struggles to move on from their past. However, the show does a good job of showing that the people who seem like villains at first aren’t really bad—they’re just dealing with their own struggles. Win’s ex-girlfriend, for example, still has feelings for him, but she respects his decision to choose Milin and lets him go.

The real villain of the story is Tewis, a former employee of Win’s father’s company. Tewis betrayed Win’s family and started working for Milin’s father’s company. His bad intentions become clear as the story goes on, but things escalate when he tries to force Milin to accept his love and reveals his deep hatred toward her family. The ending is satisfying, with the villains getting the punishment they deserve.

The best thing about this show is the chemistry between the main leads, Win and Milin. It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a great connection between characters—they really complement each other. The music is nice, though not very memorable.

The acting is solid overall. Milin’s actress is especially impressive, delivering emotional scenes perfectly. Tewis’ actor also stands out for his strong performance as the villain. However, the actor playing Win felt a little stiff in some scenes, and his expressions didn’t always feel natural. The rest of the cast did a good job.

Overall, I recommend this series. It might seem like a complicated story, but it’s actually easy to follow, and the pacing is great. The only downside is that it’s hard to find a good website with English subtitles and decent quality. Hopefully, the production team will make it more accessible to international viewers.
