So, not understanding anything is a good thing? I don't see it that way... not understanding leads to confusion,…
Do you understand everything that’s happening in the universe? Why we live? Why we get sick? Why consciousness even exists in the first place? Why the universe is filled with things we still can’t name? Why dark matter and dark energy control almost everything yet refuse to reveal themselves? Why some truths stay hidden no matter how hard we search? Why every answer only leads to another question? Does that make you frustrated too? Does that make your life lose all its meaning? Art doesn’t have to explain anything to you. Art doesn’t have to follow our flawed logics or system of beliefs.
As a follow-up to my earlier explanation about surrealism: when you feel confused about everything, that’s surrealism at work. Projects like this don’t aim to give you clear answers, they want you to interpret the story however you like. There will be many things that remain unexplained, even after the series ends. They don’t follow the logical rules of our world; instead, everything moves according to the characters’ inner feelings. The same events may repeat with slight variations, characters might seem emotionally one-dimensional, scenes may feel disconnected, and people can appear or disappear without warning. You’re not supposed to think logically, you’re supposed to feel. And if what you feel is just confusion, that might be intentional. The character experiencing the moment may be just as confused as you are.
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?
10/10 from me. Excellent music and score.
