This review may contain spoilers
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD >>>
OKay absolutely in my ten rating and fuck sake been a while since I saw a HOT GOD-DAMNED GORGEOUS TOXIC IRREDEEMABLE ML in Iang! And he was so convincing! When he was playing the sheltered but intriguing Prince Charming who's a little forceful but leaves you alone and doesn't cross his limits. And when he turns into this TOXIC, YOU GET BURNED IF YOU GO NEAR HIM IRREDEEMABLE ANTAGONIST he played it just as well.
And okay I was BIG TIME on Iang Kaew ship I even love me some Stockholm syndrome but by ep 15 even I JUMPED SHIP FOR NEW KAEW lol I mean if your ship drowns might as well get a lifeboat.
Because fucking Ja and Tom needed to get something in return for the way life's been for them. How can you not root for them after BOTH their rich asshole entitled prick families treated them.
Because even Ae for all her lip service about rich poor equality, never ONCE stops being around her entitled rich bitch friends, who GAVE HER NONSENSICAL ADVICE, turned her against Ja even though Ja not once tried to hurt her and despite the fact that she loved Tom she buried her past so Ae wouldn't get hurt and when she does EVENTUALLY cheat with Tom it's not because she wants to hurt Ae when she had every opportunity to get some revenge on both mom and daughter!
Right to the end Ja cared for both these total c words but Ae kept listening to her rich friends like I said despite the lip service. And in the end even just leaves to another country and has a happy ending with the mother. Do you think any of that was fair? That Thong and his father despite being TOTAL GARBAGE (that scene in the end when they fight over the sex worker lol I know it was exaggerated but it was basically to show their reality when the mask of propriety they wear on public occasions was removed) because money can give you expensive wine but it can't make you stop being trash. And pretty much all rich people here are trash. Even Ae's so called gullibility and shelteredness is very toxic and you know she' was just going out with him as an experiment and to rebel against the people in her life and likely because she was bored of her mundane life.
Tbh a lot of things gave me more anxiety than I was ready for especially when the way things went down after Ja ended up in the hospital.
I mean she was showing them A VIDEO OF HIM BEATING HER but the reporters were like WAIT THAT RICH GUY LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH AND LOUD ENOUGH AND RICH ENOUGH SO IF HE HAS A VOICE RECORDING OF HER THAT HASN'T EVEN BEEN CONFIRMED THAT IT IS HER UNLIKE THE VIDEO WHICH IS WAY MORE RELIABLE let's just listen to him instead cause we all love patriarchy so much! SARANGHE P'DADDY AHJUSHI SAN AND CAN I ALSO GIVE YOU A BJ WHILE IM REAFFIRMING EVERY POOR, WEAK, or FEMALE PERSON ON THE PLANET THAT THEY ARE NOT EQUAL TO THE ONE PERCENT AND NEVER WILL BE.
OKAY ILL STOP NOW .
So you see how much this lakorn has affected me? That's why I'm saying, it deserves that ten rating.
Because this was no Lee jun kai the toxic person doesn't get redeemed by getting shot in the end, though that would have been my preferred ending for Thong, because as it is it's way too nihilistic, too realistic for me to get some Stockholm syndrome tropey romance pleasure because when I watch romanticized slap n kiss type lakorn it's cathartic and guilty pleasure. Because being a former victim of the similar kind of abuse just makes me this way and something this realistic gives me anxiety for the same reason. So it was very realistic. Rich guy doesn't go for a poor girl with a happily ever after, and the poor guy doesn't fall in love with the rich girl for her MANIC PIXIE DREAMGIRL QUIRKS even though he started out being a gold digger.
This is very raw, painful, upsetting.
And I don't know what that says about me but I never stopped rooting for Ja. I feel like if you don't GET where she's coming from, or even Tom than either you're way too young to know what life is or you've never went a day without people trying to find faults, be generally resentful of what you wear, how you behave, and you've never gone without food and basic necessities. And you've never lost your credibility and suffered because of some silly lie you told to either survive, or to get some benefit that comes easy for someone else.
Seriously, when Tom says to Ae that if she'll find happiness in his pain then she shouldn't worry because he's never been happy, not for a single day, that broke my heart worse than when Thong abused Ja so badly.
