Trust No One~Watch with Caution

Rated = 8~35/50 ~ 7
RPG Scene // A Mermaid in the Flower Meadow with Merlin's Staff. I have no idea what's going on, how she got there and should I trust her? Am I high? LOL

This was an absolute trip to be honest. The moment I heard that all the big wigs were a circle of power, I knew what was going down. However, it still doesn't prepare you for the absolute ride this show is. There are so many twists and turns that I may have felt dizzy at one point LOL Trust no one, because that's how the show sets you up. It's a constant watch for clues and evidence.

The plot follows a young doctor or forensic examiner to a small town where he went to high school, in an effort to escape the dirty underground of Bangkok, only to discover that corrupt people are everywhere and if he wants justice, he'll have to prove it himself. The deep dark dirty secret here is a drug and human trafficking ring.

I did actually guess this in the first episode. All the signs were actually there but the plot really wanted you to hate everyone lol

This shows does gets very dark and very sad. Not too graphic but I can imagine it being upsetting/triggering for some watchers.
There is however, a happy ending at least, and possibly the most satisfying arrest I think I've ever seen in a show.

I do however have some complaints. I felt like there was info missing for convenience. E.g where were the kids parents? There were a few kids in this show and not one of them were seen with parents or did Nam just own a house as a high school girl? Her friends had to report her missing. What about Natty's parents? Not a word. So I felt like either I'm missing something socially here or they were just forgotten about because plot.
When our ML's are listed as fugitives and are on the run, they are sitting in the police station, a cop walks by. Nothing. That really took me out a little LOL You would think someone would say something?
Not to mention the du ex machina that happens at the end. It was one of those, write yourself into a corner with tension and then BAM, out comes that little character and a little detail you weren't meant to think much about it to save the day. Unfortunately for them, I did remember. I knew it the moment I saw it.
Also ~ What the hell kind of proposal was that? Was I meant to find that romantic? LOL

As intense and as dizzying as the plot was to follow, even if you have guessed right on where it's headed, there were a few times were it was a little too noticeable that some details were just being casually left out because they wanted to keep the plot complicated, and those details would have made too much sense LOL But it did ruin the immersion for me.

Having said that, I did still enjoy it but because of it's upsetting context though, I'm unlikely to watch this again.
