Hypnotic? Psychotic is more like it.
Out of many revenge series I watched in 2025, this one is the better one. It’s a series that delivers on all fronts with a great script, solid character development, and outstanding acting.The script is great, providing viewers with well-developed characters and a storyline that keeps you hooked from start to finish. While some storylines may be a bit predictable, the cat-and-mouse game plot and tension buildup are expertly crafted, making each episode a thrilling watch. Beyond the revenge aspect, this series does not shy away from including important social issues into the plotlines. From mental health issue to school bullying, cyberbullying, abuse of power, bad parenting and sexual assault, the series sheds light on how these issues can impact one's upbringing and overall well-being.
One of the highlights of this series is the exceptional acting by the cast, particularly Nychaa Nuttanicha and Will Wannarot, who truly shine in their respective roles. But hands down to Vill for her portrayal of Kunnaree. She’s just pure psychotic. And the child actors are amazing too. Plus, the chemistry between the actors simply adds depth to the characters, making you either root for them or just hate their guts.
Under the skillful direction of Koo Ekkasit, this series boasts impressive production quality that shines on its own among other revenge dramas. The only downside for me is the lackluster male lead and how every guy in this series seems weak. The male lead is just a passive character. I can't even cheer for him. He's just a nice, pretty-faced guy that might seem like what the FL needs amidst the chaos, but he's pretty useless. Sure, he makes an effort to be helpful towards the end, but it seems too late. Plus, the action and fight scenes could definitely use some work to help heighten the suspense.
I would’ve rated it a 10 if the last two episodes hadn’t felt so rushed and if the ending had been more satisfying. Overall, Hypnotic is a well-made and well-acted revenge drama. Whether you're a fan of revenge dramas or simply enjoy a fantastic performance, this series is definitely worth adding to your watchlist.
