  Spoiler Alert: Wow, what an amazing TV series! The ending was absolutely poetic and left me in awe. I couldn't get enough of the captivating anti-hero lead character and Ploy, oh my goodness, she stole my heart! Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but her acting skills are top-notch. She effortlessly portrayed a complex, shallow, yet bold woman that had me convinced. And let's talk about her wardrobe - those pantsuits were on fire!
  
  In the final scene where she wore the wedding dress, she looked...

  absolutely breathtaking. It literally took my breath away. This show could have easily fallen into the typical lakorn/makjang category, but it surprised me in the best way. However, I have to be honest and say that the male lead just didn't work for me. He couldn't act, and his personality fell flat, which frustrated me every time he appeared on screen. Honestly, they should have given that role to Lang Sittha, who was already in the cast. He would have been perfect as the main male lead, a doctor/psychiatrist.
  
  Lang's character felt random and unnecessary to the story, but because the doctor guy was such a disappointment, I found myself eagerly waiting for the moments between Reya and Paramet instead. By the way, that other guy, Nut, would have been a great fit for this role! He's a talented actor and easy on the eyes.
  
  The actor who played David wasn't outstanding either, but luckily his character wasn't crucial enough to ruin the overall experience. Even with these male lead issues, the story itself was deep and meaningful. It bothered me when I felt like the writers were unfairly judging Ploy's character, labeling her as a tramp or whore simply because she wasn't a virgin. But, the ending beautifully depicted how society's treatment of women who dare to be different can lead to a vicious cycle of pain and violence.
  
  However, I have to vent about that frustrating Chinese mother character. I'm still a bit angry at her because not only does she survive, but everyone around her seems to brush off her attempts to ruin lives and cover up her heinous acts just because she's family. It's infuriating! And, don't even get me started on all the problems I had with the doctor guy. Ugh!
  
  Anyway, if you enjoy melodrama, makjang, lakorn, and stories with anti-hero elements, this series is definitely worth watching. Despite its flaws, it still manages to deliver a compelling and entertaining experience.
