For everyone who is confused: this genre of storytelling and filmmaking is surrealism. In TV and movies, surrealism uses dreamlike sequences, illogical transitions, and symbolic imagery to capture emotions and ideas that realism can’t express. It often feels like slipping into someone’s subconscious—scenes bend logic, time folds, characters transform, and the world behaves according to mood rather than rules. In Western media, you can see this in works like Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, The Holy Mountain, and the more mainstream but still surreal moments of Legion or Black Mirror episodes that distort reality. Thai New Wave cinema also embraces this style, especially through directors like Apichatpong Weerasethakul, whose films (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Tropical Malady) drift between dreams, spirits, and memory with quiet, hypnotic pacing. Surrealism isn’t actually very popular—most audiences prefer grounded plots—but as a surrealist lover, I adore it for the freedom it gives to storytelling and the feeling of wandering through a living dream.
The editing is so bad. It makes the story choppy and incoherent. This is like watching TikTok for you page. They never let the story linger and breathe. You blinked and it moved, the character changed, the topic changed. Can you stop in one frame for at least 5 seconds??????????
Is there any reason why Rampheung’s son did absolutely nothing to stop her own mother when he KNEW damn well that his mother was out here to end Khem’s life?
Can you all help me point out which part of this series that "looks down on the audience" that the original creator of the source material criticized heavily? And apparently the creator also said they don't like the homophobia part? Which is ridiculous because the homophobia part is so relevant especially in the period part of the series.
10/10 from me. Excellent music and score.
