Friendshit Forever (2025)

Une tragédie en plusieurs actes

Friendshit Forever s'inscrit dans la lignée des thrillers psychologiques de haut vol.
Tout d'abord, je souhaite féliciter l'acting de Pat, que je découvre dans cette série, ainsi que celui d'Emi, toujours très juste.

Le personnage de Baikhaw est, selon moi, l'un des plus grands antagonistes tragiques ayant été créé. Ce personnage a porté la série tant il est bien écrit dans sa complexité, de la création à la chute.
Victime collatérale d'un accident (sa mère enceinte se faisant renverser) , d'une fuite (le père de Tulip ne lui porte pas assistance et fuit), d'une manipulation des preuves (la mère de Tulip fait supprimer les preuves incriminant son mari), d'une injustice classée sans suite (faute de preuves), du suicide de son père (suite à son licenciement et à l'affaire classée sans suite) et de la démence de sa mère (démence survenue suite à la fausse couche causée par l'accident), Baikhaw ne pouvait que se construire dans un schéma tragique de vengeance.
D'abord calculatrice, froide et méthodique, son plan se déroule quasiment sans accrocs, isolant Tulip de son cercle d'amis, de sa famille. Sa routine est chirurgicale.
Mise en déroute par une variable qui s'appelle Tao (son ancien pion), humiliée en public (l'affaire de la sextape diffusée sur le campus), victime d'agression sexuelle, elle finit par se fracturer lorsqu'elle tue son agresseur. Le point de rupture psychique étant la scène du rire devant le miroir. Elle prend conscience qu'elle peut tuer, ses dernières barrières morales s'effondrent. Elle mourra sans que la justice soit rendue, des deux côtés, deuxième échec d'un système défaillant.
Bien que le meurtre (double dans son cas) soit impardonnable, avec tous ces éléments, on ne peut s'empêcher de penser que la première victime, c'est bien elle, et que tout le reste découle d'erreurs humaines et systémiques.

Bref, ce personnage époustouflant est le coeur de la série, félicitations aux scénaristes et à Pat.

Keep your friends close… and your secrets closer.

This was a bloody revenge drama wrapped up in a innocent, soft wrapper. Nobody could have imagined how friendship turned fatal.

Storyline wise, it was intensely scripted. The characters Baikhaw (Pat), Tao (New) and Namo (Boun) circled around one girl, Tulip (Emi), who is a kind-hearted person who is soft-spoken and helpful. Her postive attributes garnered her with some amazing people in her life. But her fate has some other plans, while some only targeted her for the same. Baikhaw was evil not by choice but by mistake. The whole journey of Baikhaw and Emi was not smooth, but when they were together, they truly enjoyed their companionship. All the relationships will make you think how genuine and loyal a friendship or relationships can be.

The characters were highly flawed, raw and fresh. In particular, Pat as Baikhaw was just the most amazing that this series could have. And Emi, as her partner throughout the series, nailed the proper "non-doormat" girl who just trusted people innocently. Throughout the series her character was cold, calculative and chilling. I came here to watch the series for Pat, and I'm 10000% satisfied with her brilliant performance. Once again she showed me why she's my favourite actress. New and Boun as supporting characters were awesome. And not mentioning Jamie and Title for their roles would be a crime!
The OST was sung by Emi, and it was melodious and soulful. I can imagine myself listening to it again and again. This girl is so talented!

Personally, I feel that this drama is an underrated thriller by GMMTV. It was gritty, unhinged and chaotic. But it wasn't without flaws. Some situations start and end abruptly when people face serious consequences. They were roaming free like the law, police don't exist. That's the biggest loophole of the drama. The revenge that once was vague it didn't solve properly, and it lacked explanations. But if you ask me, it would be a great thriller if you turned off your brain and just enjoyed the performance. (Honestly, there were times when I asked questions about things, but I realized that the time limit was too short to give any proper explanation.)

Overall, it's a great bingeworthy thriller that one can finish in a day. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for some adult thrillers that aren't innocent at all and will go all in with unhingness.
