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.

The Most Toxic Show I've Ever Watched
I went into this show thinking it would be something like The Jungle with people being mildly naughty and everything resolved with happy endings and instead I got a gut punch of insane toxicity. All of the leads are terrible people who commit major crimes and betray each other repeatedly for 18 episodes. But it's a cracky ride. Even though I hated almost every person in the story I couldn't stop watching. Do be aware that this show has scenes of S.A. & abuse and could be triggering.Let's sum up what happens to everyone (spoilers ahead!)
Prae:
* Crimes: Ordered her friends to throw Pal off a balcony and then covered up the murder as a suicide. Allowed her friend's brother to be S.A. and didn't call the police to avoid getting caught with drugs. (I don't consider her sexual preferences crimes, nothing wrong with being a freak but don't be stupid enough to get recorded doing it)
* Punishment: sex video leaked at wedding, kills self
* Deserved?: Hell yes. She was abused growing up but that doesn't excuse a damned thing.
Wanwan:
* Crimes: Helped murder Pal and covered up the crime. Arranged the leak of Prae's sex video to drive her to suicide. Slept with Meen's boyfriend.
* Punishment: Goes insane, murders mother and brother, goes on the run
* Deserved?: Yes but it's not very satisfying since we don't know where she is at the end of the story
May:
* Crimes: Helped murder Pal and covered up the crime. Helped Sarat cover up the death of her lover's wife. Stole information from Wanwan's computer to give to Wee.
* Punishment: Murdered by Wanwan's mother after Wee S.A. her and terrorized her
* Deserved?: No, no one deserves to be S.A. or stalked. I wish the show had handled her ending better, this left a very bad taste in my mouth after everything the show did to emphasize she didn't deserve the S.A.
Meen:
* Crimes: Covered up Pal's murder. Took money from Pitch's mother to break up with him. Sent the video of Wanwan's brother having sex with Pal to Wanwan's mother.
* Punishment: Married to Pitch who turned out to be an evil bastard who masterminded his sister's death. Also stuck with an evil mother in law for life
* Deserved?: Yes, I was afraid she'd get a happy ending because she was such a self righteous hypocrite but she got what she deserved in the end.
Sarat:
* Crimes: Covered up Pal's murder. Pushed her lover's wife down a flight of stairs, causing her death, and then covered up the crime. Began a relationship with Term while lying to him about her identity.
* Punishment: Prison after she confessed to the crime to get a clear conscience
* Deserved: Hell yes but she also got the closest thing to a happy ending because Term is visiting her in prison and still cares for her. She also gave away her fortune to a foundation. She has the best shot at redemption in the end.
Pal:
* Crimes: Drug dealing, allowed her friend's brother to be S.A. and didn't call the police to avoid getting caught with drugs. Attacked Meen with a pair of scissors. (I don't consider her sexual preferences crimes, nothing wrong with being a freak)
* Punishment: Thrown off a balcony by her friends
* Deserved: No, she was awful but her friends were worse

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?
So Good
I'm not far in it but oh my god. Honestly I thought this was a BL at first which is why I started watching it but actually it's kind of a murder mystery between all the characters... and I really love mysteries especially betrayal stories. It's very interesting as of now. The acting is top notch and characters are easy to connect to but also easily suspicious as well. I’ll definitely keep watching when I have more time. If you’re someone who hates back-stabbing or one of those people who hate plots where you could possibly hate everyone in the series then I wouldn’t recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing show with star cast!
So far, I have watched 2 episodes and it's already extremely hooking. You always question whether a particular person is guilty and also leaves you questioning, how many secrets does each person have? What one of the characters has said is true tho, the BLOSSOM group is the "bitchy" group, who have secrets and my the betrayals are in already! I already have a hunch as to who the culprit it, but who knows. It could be the most unexpected person??In terms of acting, everyone has done a tremendous job, however the actor portraying Pitch could widen his emotions a little bit, as I feel he underacts quite alot. Aye Sarunchana is amazing as always and who could believe she's only 21!!! This girl has talent and should be given more roles. Besides this, Jan is always great. I saw her as the mean bully in "Who Are You", but here her character is totally contrasting and makes me show sympathy towards her. My give that girl some space! Also, the actress portraying Prae's mum is amazing and she clearly portrays the distress and anger in the second episode.
I wish the music had more range, but anyhow this is a good watch and would recommend to anyone!
