  The storytelling in this series is truly remarkable. The performances delivered by the cast are top-notch, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. Each character is well-developed, with captivating storylines that evoke genuine empathy from viewers - a stark contrast to the common portrayal of secondary characters as mere accessories or bothersome distractions. Two aspects stood out to me in particular.
  
  Firstly, the depiction of female characters is a breath of fresh air. These women are portrayed as rational, resilient individuals who refuse to tolerate...

  betrayal or disrespect, choosing to rise above challenges with unwavering strength. Witnessing characters from diverse backgrounds unite forces to confront the adversities they face is incredibly empowering. Pooklook, Ann S, and Organ form an unexpected yet formidable alliance, showcasing a level of camaraderie that is both surprising and delightful.
  
  Secondly, the antagonist in this series is nothing short of brilliant. Like a master strategist in a high-stakes game, this character continually outwits her adversaries, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Despite her morally questionable actions, her calculated maneuvers are undeniably impressive, earning both admiration and disdain from the audience. To witness such a complex portrayal from an unexpected source is a true revelation.
  
  I deeply regret overlooking this series earlier and am profoundly grateful to those who recommended it. To those fellow viewers who steer others towards hidden gems like this, your efforts do not go unnoticed.

  What a thrilling saga to behold! #TeamWorkIf you seek a delightful romance taking center stage in a series, this particular drama may not be your cup of tea. Instead, the narrative delves into a riveting battle between Venus, a deceptive figure who outwardly appears angelic to the world yet harbors a malevolent core, and her adversaries Ai, Pornparn, and Kwan #GirlPowerBaby!! who are determined to unveil her true nature.Venus, posing as a life coach, excels at manipulating situations to her advantage. Through her cunning strategies,...

  she adeptly deceives and exploits even those closest to her who genuinely care for her. The solidarity shown by these women in their quest to expose and topple Venus is immensely gratifying to witness. Each episode is a suspenseful journey, with the ultimate downfall of the malevolent antagonist being a truly satisfying payoff, despite a puzzling final scene that left me scratching my head.Characters like Fin and Non left me wishing for more closure in their arcs, but as the narrative unfolds, it becomes evident that everyone must face the consequences of their actions.Ley Luang diverges from the customary romantic genre that often captivates my interest. While a sweet romance subplot involving the central couple, Ai and Chawin, who epitomize the ideal partner, is present, the chemistry between them feels lacking and uninspired. However, given that the main focus is the intense battle of wits against Venus, the subdued romantic element is somewhat understandable.This series is a solid watch with a compelling plot that manages to sustain interest without feeling protracted, despite its lengthy run time. The soundtrack complements the narrative well, and the performances by the cast are commendable. Special mention goes to Cheer, whose portrayal evoked a strong dislike from me throughout – a testament to her exceptional acting prowess in bringing her character to life.
