Stumble upon this on Feeds. Let's check this one out...Story about 5 friends; Pantiwa Tantiwicha (Prae), Meena Jessina (Meen), Thidawal Intharaphrom (Wanwan), Methacha Kantisena (May), and Saratsawadee Wichawimol (Saras). The story began at Prae wedding. A secret tape of Prae is exposed at her wedding. Humiliated by the incident & feel betray by it, because it was only their friends group who knew Prae secret, Prae resolves to commit suicide. Preliminary investigation claim that it was Meen who exposed it, but Meen insisted it's not her who did it. That incident & accusation create a freckle in their friendship. So, Meen tried her best to find the culprit to clear herself from her friends suspicion. And the more Meen digs, the darker the truth about everything surrounded their friendship. And it's all began with the incident that surrounded the death of their late friend, Palana (Pan). So.... What's the actual truth about all the secret each of them hide under their blanket...???
That's pretty much the story without giving any spoilers. Now what I like & don't.
What I like:
+ The multilayer of secret. How sometimes hide your dark side even from your closest friends.
+ The friendship between 4 of them. How sometimes friendship really mean hold your friend secret to the grave. And we really know who stay by our side till the end.
+ The lonely people. We see how evil the darkness lurking when you're lonely & feel no one by your side.
+ To show us that sometimes we can run from the truth but we can't really run from our conscious. I mean what happen with Saras, I really like how she makes peace with herself in the end.
What I don't like:
- The crazy ending. Even till the end they still like hold some secret to be unfold for us...
Overall this a good suspense drama. Really giving the vibe of pretty little liars.

what a toxic masterpiece!
one of the best gmmtv series i have seen. that too with a female ensemble cast.
the murder mysteries (and all the other ones) were so intriguing. i was never able to guess who it was going to be. the ending too truly shocked me. almost all the characters had a great storyline. the actors did a great job.
the show truly did something unique. a friend group which is not trustworthy or dependable at all but people are willing to risk their lives for it. the romances were also nicely brought up (and broken down)
Aye's ost too hit the right spots. those lyrics with those scenes?? chef's kiss.
they did their best to make things believable and have some logic, though occasionally u could see the lack of budget and plot holes. but those are ignorable
one change i would have liked is for the narrator to be the actual character. the narrator here was someone who was not part of the cast. it would have hit better if it was the character itself.
i hope gmmtv does more projects like this, especially with such a female centric cast. they have so many talented actresses under them, if they don't want to make gls at least cast the girls in shows like this

Craven meets selfishness
Long drama with despicable humans gaslighting & screwing each other viscously mercilessly and blissfully.Acting was OK, just Lakorn style.
Music was done well
Summary: void of any humanity this drama is a relentless
Portrayal of greed + selfishness + bankrupt character = Lakorn madness. Have fun, it’s a twisted ride.

P.S. I loved it
A series that perfectly combines unpredictability and predictability at the same time. Its enticing plot sucks you in early in the series and doesn't let you go till the end. It does have its dark elements, but it's still very enjoyable to watch. By no means it's perfect and there are some exaggerated even unrealistic moments that don't align that much with the show's identity, but they don't overshadow the overall experience. I gave it such a high rewatch value, because in the second time I feel one will be able to piece better some of the info scattered into the episodes and also pay more attention to the characters and their mannerisms.I do recommend the series to anyone who loves messiness and a bit more heavy drama.

It's a dark series. The plot will make you question yourself and your relationship. A story that makes us think are we really as good as we think...
The characters are grey shaded than black and white, each tainted with their own mistakes and regret. They are someone who don't believe in fairytale.
The characters follow the survival of fittest.
Characters are selfish and self-centered, ready to throw others under the bus to save themselves.

Alot of Gaslight/Girlboss/Gatekeep
Actually a great show with a great plot and alot of Gaslight/Girlboss/Gatekeep at max. The show single handedly does the opposite of what you want to happen. Everyone is well written except for one (Meen) but trust me you won't get attached to her at all so she's just whatever. Everybody will become your faves as there storys are just amazingly good. It tacked alot of real life problems but it's easy to understand, It also uses lgbtq+ in a normal and natural way instead of showing it in our faces just so they can call it representation. Just give it a try if you like the thrill.Was this review helpful to you?
This is my one of the most awaited series for 2022 . The story is really great. I like that every character (especially the Blossom Squad) appears to look like a villain and an innocent one. Since this is a mystery drama, everyone is suspicious and this will literally give you trust issues. I also like that they add a little romance here and make you smile while watching and that's what makes this series balance. What I don't like here is their friendship is really toxic. Honestly, when their friendship tear apart, they don't need to be reunited.
Acting/Cast:
Everyone did a great job here especially the girls. Pat Chayanit acting skills stands out for me especially in the final episode.
Music:
I am so obsessed to their OST. I knew it already that when Aye Sarun will sing a certain OST, the show will gonna be great.
Rewatch Value:
This is worth to rewatch.

Who doesn’t love a good little soap opera?
The title is pretty much the whole review, it’s a very solid, basic soap opera. If you like them, you’ll most likely like this.This show reminds me of pretty little liars, but more mature. The plot line is pretty basic, but interesting. The main actresses especially do a phenomenal job portraying each of their characters.
Now, as every soap opera does , PS. I hate you comes with its own share of useless, bad and just nonsensical side plots and random twists that they really didn’t need to include. We however tend to get over most of them pretty smoothly.
I wouldn’t rewatch this show but it was a fun watch overall.

This is PEAK
I LOVED THIS! I didn't really watch Thai series outside of BL's before this series and it made me want to expand upon just BL's. This was so incredible! Loved the story and the characters so much! None of the characters are good people and I loved that. Everyone did a great job acting wise, especially Pat! She killed it!Was this review helpful to you?

What a Drama
First, I have to say that this series is really intense and needs a strong trigger warning.When I started watching the series, I didn't expect it to be so dark.
The main characters have all experienced or witnessed something dramatic. The darkness of the series is sometimes too intense, and as an empathetic person, it's almost unbearable.
Meen gets so much pain, even though she's actually the most innocent. She was my favorite character and I hoped she'd get a happy ending, but her ending is so harsh. I didn't see it coming that Pitch had done something bad as well and I couldn't get over it.
The ending is a bit too dark for me, but that's why it's realistic, unfortunately.
I have to give a huge compliment to the actors in general; it was truly incredible how good each and every one of them was. However, I have to single out Pat for special mention. Her performance was brilliant and Oscar-worthy. Wow, huge compliment.
Finally, I would like to say that the series is really good, but you need a really thick skin for it.

Most relatable toxic characters ever written
One of the best Thai dramas out there. It's complex, messy, toxic and it will give you major trust issue. I really love how the story focuses on the life of the girls. Romance is a side character here. They will fight for men at some point but honestly that is not the most significant part of the plot. It's how they all are flawed characters who do love each other but at the same time betray each other for their own benefit, This gives the taste of reality. The acting was so damn good you will feel all the characters are real. There are so many twists that at some point you will stop believing anyone. There some real badass scenes. I couldn't hate any character, couldn't love them either. Saras is my fav out of the girls. All their characters were so well made with such good back stories. The series kept me on my toes till the last minute. I really thought it's the end of all and bam the last bomb was dropped by none other than "that" person. I will definitely rewatch it to get some more hints.Was this review helpful to you?
