The Revenge (2021)

WARNING: filled with stomach-churning sexual crime scenes/violence

WARNING: I haven't seen anyone else say this but I will... you may want to stay away from this one if watching sexual crimes are something you can't stomach. I don't trigger easily but this lakorn takes rape scenes, violence, and even things that happen to children to an extreme (shows/insinuates/what you hear... it's a LOT!) ... this was a super super difficult watch and I would not have watched if I had been warned about certain scenes in this.

Acting was great, but this lakorn is not something I can recommend due to the above. My stomach hurt after finishing this lakorn.

Promising storyline with some loopholes. Phenomenal supporting cast.

The supporting characters actually outshined the main characters here, and the actors who played them did a phenomenal job. You will HATE and be DISGUSTED with them, but there’s no denying the actors who brought them to life especially the actor who plays Nawin. Watch it through to the end, and you’ll know what I mean.

This drama could have easily been a 10/10. The storyline was there with a fairly liked cast, but there was just so many inconsistent loopholes and things that just didn’t make sense that turned me off especially when it comes to Prae. She was such a big part of the story, but the way her character reacted to what happened to her is like the writers didn’t do their research to what psychologically happens to people who have gone through the things Prae has.

I honestly stuck through this, because I wanted to know what happens to the bad guys, and they delivered on that in the most satisfying way. Had they not, I would have felt like watching this drama was a complete waste of my time. Somewhere along the way, I couldn't be bothered with the main leads anymore. It was like watching a love story between 2 rocks. The male lead being dumb for a good majority of it. The female lead falling for him made zero sense to me. I found the second couple much more interesting and whose story arc should have been a bit longer.

Unfortunately, they saved every good thing about the drama for the big reveal in the end while not doing well executing the path along the way.
