Playing Ep 12

Summary:

In this haunting adaptation of an ancient Thai folktale, a soldier returns to his village after a lengthy battle, yearning for the embrace of his family. Unbeknownst to him, the family he returns to is not as it seems; his wife passed away during childbirth, and she now remains tethered to the mortal world as a spectral entity along with their child.

The narrative intertwines the soldier's homecoming with his supernatural encounter, and an unexpected twist arises in the figure of his own mother. Her role is far more than meets the eye—her overbearing and harsh treatment of her daughter-in-law casts a dark shadow over the tale. Her actions not only exacerbate the tension between the living and the dead but also are revealed to be the driving force behind the melancholic turn of events leading to the ill-fated destiny of her son's young family.

As the line between life and death blurs, the profound bond of love is pitted against the chilling grip of otherworldly presence, making for a gripping reimagining of a story deeply rooted in Thai lore. The mother’s sinister influence serves as a catalyst for the turmoil, adding layers of complexity to this ghostly love narrative.
