It's a promising idea for a story, unfortunately rather waisted

After watching it, there's a lot I could say. I think they creators had an opportunity to do something amazing and meaningful, but unfortunately they didn't, no, not entirely there yet. As an author and writer myself, I would've proceeded with the story a bit differently, although the plot base is really good. The last 3-2 episodes especially, were not sitting right with the story. They made the whole story way too dramatic at moments, like I know it's a drama, but at some point it's just annoying. I also felt like Nira came to Thailand with a plan for what to do, but she probably didn't, it didn’t look like that at all, and that makes the drama too chaotic. When reading the description I was hoping for a story with a strong lead, who comes back after the transition and takes revenge for what happened, makes peace with her painful past, and in the process she realises her worth, beauty and finds her own confidence in herself. I hoped for something empowering, like a kdrama called The Glory. Unfortunately this was not it. Frankley, if this was produced in South Korea, it would've been better. I didn’t like how they portrayed the female lead as very mentally unstable,especially in the last episode. As someone who knows psychology, and has been through a lot as well, they really portrayed her as way too crazy. In those kinds of stories, if you're mentally broken, you either off yourself right away, or you overcome it, and become stronger, you fight with the trauma by finding happiness in life again. That would've been satisfying to see. So I really don't like how they did that part of the story. All i can say is that there was potential in this idea, and maybe some day someone gets inspired and makes it into something better than before.
PS: Some of you guys in the comments are weird. For those who are saying that it's gross, because it's kind of incest between uncle and niece, even though they are not blood related at all. I don't have a problem with that part at all, after everything happened in Niras life, it makes sense, it is quite sweet actually. And stop calling Chat a cheater. If you have a spouse like his, then you basically have none. Let them be, be more kind and open minded in your approach to others.
