Impactante serie tailandesa

En el mundo de los dramas no tengo un gusto especial. Veo de cualquier país o estilo, incluso me he animado hace poco a leer Manga, Webtoons ...
En este caso trata de una serie tailandesa, emitida en el 2024 en Netflix. Cuenta la historia de una familia rica con varios personajes y la gente que trabaja para ellos.
La serie es coral, muchos personajes con historias que se entrelazan, flashbacks. Inicialmente puede resultar lenta y poco apetecible de ver puesto que sacan imágenes muy desagradables de violencia, sexo, degradación.. Claramente no es una serie para todos los gustos y orientado a un público adulto.
La historia comienza con un suceso desagradable que se resume en el refrán: "en la vida como hermanos pero con el dinero como gitan...".
Los capítulos son largos pero todo tiene su aquel.

More psychological than retributive.

The premise of ‘Master of the House’ is nothing original, but it's an intriguing watch with some psychological twists, which the plot centered around the rich family and their servants. Triggers warning: you need to have a tolerance for violence, substance, rape, and sexual content while watching this drama.

When it comes to revenge dramas, it’s crucial to have captivating, complex characters and a gripping storyline, and while this drama has all the elements, the execution is rather weak and lacks impact in some ways. The story moves at a decent pace, and it manages to blend all the lies, deception, psychological trauma, and bullying with the good performances of each character. The thriller is there, but when it focuses a lot on the inheritance war, it feels more psychological than retributive.

The only thing that really amazes me about this drama is the cinematography and the production quality. They are outstanding and powerful. It's an impressive improvement in the camerawork quality in Thai dramas. Overall, if you're looking for an escapist service of revenge, this drama is an option to consider.
