  This review may contain spoilers. This TV series revolves around two female leaders who are portrayed as detestable characters throughout. The first lead, Wee, is shown to be self-centered, easily manipulated, and constantly blaming others for her own misfortunes. The second lead, Aon, shares similar traits and their revenge plot lacks a logical basis. The relationship between Wee and Nik, the male lead, is also depicted as unrealistic, as it is difficult to understand why he would endure Wee's behaviour for so long. Tragically, Nik...

  dies for her. Wee's subsequent relationship with Phu is equally perplexing, as she is portrayed as a violent and detestable woman who does not truly love anyone. The male characters in this series are portrayed as foolish for staying in such toxic relationships. Ultimately, the performances by the actresses are notable, as they effectively embody their characters. However, due to the unlikability of the lead characters and the overall plot, I do not intend to rewatch this series.

  Once upon a time in a world filled with glitz and glamour, there was a TV series that left me utterly perplexed. It revolved around two sisters, and let me tell you, their relationship was anything but normal. The strange thing was, everyone around them seemed to be in the know about their secret affair. Yet, they chose to play dumb, getting tangled in a web of deception and childish games. It made me wonder, were they trying to fool us or were they simply...

  fooling themselves?
  
  As the story unfolded, I hoped for a dash of romance to lighten the dark clouds hanging over this series. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found. Instead, all I got were flashy costumes and a grand production. While visually appealing, it felt as though something was missing. It lacked substance, and the actors' performances were overshadowed by the superficiality of it all.
  
  The only redeeming factor was the occasional "slap-kiss" scenes that added some excitement to the mix. But even those moments couldn't salvage the overall experience. It felt like they were trying to distract us from the shallow plotline and lack of character development.
  
  It's worth mentioning that this series was part of the Thai media industry, which seems to have an inexplicable obsession with this slap-kiss concept. Sadly, this obsession often comes at the expense of other crucial elements that make a drama truly interesting.
  
  In the end, all I can say is that this series fell short of my expectations. It relied heavily on the allure of its leading ladies, but failed to deliver a compelling story. Ultimately, it left me questioning the choices made by the writers and producers. Perhaps, they should have focused on creating a more well-rounded and engaging narrative. But alas, that ship had sailed, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and wanting more.
