The Wicked Game Episode 10

A Family Destroyed by Greed and Grief

Is it just me, or is anyone else completely drained after watching these siblings claw at each other, fight nonstop, and try to kill one another for ten whole episodes? By the time they all died at the end, the only thing I felt was relief. The silence after the chaos felt almost peaceful. It is heartbreaking how greed can rot a family from the inside, how wealth can twist love into hatred. It reminded me of those tragic historical dramas where princes and princesses shed their own blood just to climb a throne that was never worth it.I have eight siblings myself. We argue, we disagree, and a few I do not always get along with. But the thought of hurting them, even for a second, feels impossible. Watching this family destroy itself felt strangely personal, like witnessing the worst version of what a family could become.I started this series ready to give it a 1010, but slowly dropped it to a 9/10. OffRoad and Daou carried the show with their talent and chemistry, but it was Pheem’s story that broke me. This boy, robbed of his childhood in the cruelest way. Forced to watch his stepmother run over and kill his mother right before his eyes.And the person who should have saved him, his father, chose cruelty instead. He abandoned him. Sent him away. Took everything from him without a second thought. That night did not just hurt him, it destroyed him. It carved itself into his soul, leaving behind a scar so deep that even the tattoo he later used to cover the wound could not erase its memory. He returned not as a son, but as a ghost carrying years of grief, anger, and a quiet, cold desire for justice.The saddest part is that none of this suffering needed to happen. All this chaos, all this death, every broken life, trace it back and it all started with the father’s greed. In all this darkness, Daou and Offroad still managed to shine. Seeing my favourite pairing from Century of Love and Love in Translation again felt like a small light in this bleak world. Offroad’s transformation into Pheem was haunting. He became someone almost unrecognisable, a man shaped by trauma, and his performance proved just how powerful he is as an actor.But even with all that brilliance, the constant shootings, the messy plot, and the ceaseless sibling betrayals wore me out. It was overwhelming at times. Still, despite the chaos and the sadness, I found myself deeply invested. And in the end, I can honestly say I still enjoyed the drama.
