Like a Soap Opera

This reminds me of an 80s American nighttime Soap Opera like Dallas, Melrose Place, or 90210. It is so trashy, but in a good way. Everyone is sleeping with each other, there is backstabbing, lies, secret gay relationships, murder, and more. I thought it was great, even though I don't usually watch this genre. The story was good with lots of plot twists.

The actors all did a terrific job, and I was surprised that some of these actors were cast in these roles. Chimon isn't known as the sexy and dangerous type, for example, but did a good job. Namtam was very evil, and she was completely believable. Kapook looked completely deranged and distraught throughout the series. I can't even begin to describe everyone and how great they did.

The ending was a tiny bit anticlimactic, and I would have loved to see beyond the arrest of Giwi, and how she and her Mother were charged and tried. Even a quick flash-forward at the end would have been enough to show she got what was coming to her. And it would be nice to have seen the other loose ends like Pitch parents tied up too.

Overall this is worth a watch. I think it was great series, probably in the top 10 of series I have watched in the past year.
