A rainbow of 5 colors
If you're thinking of watching this series then go ahead it's a good series overall if you can bear a few plotholes since they will be covered up by the good acting. The representation of DID is insensitive and a little disappointing ending, but the romance part was nicely done along with the comedy and cinematography.
In detail review with my opinions ~
OST: Good song by Nanon, I have listened to it a lot now even before I watched this series. And now the song has more meaning to me.
ACTING: Impressive acting by Nanon and Mind. Nanon really nicely portrayed Sun, a heartbreaker for hire who is not a hero but actually a villain in many women's lives. I was mind blown by Mind's acting, her ability to portray all five personalities where you can just tell who is who just by looking at their facial expression and body language. Junior also did really great acting here, his role really remained a mystery and then boom - there comes the twist.
CINEMATOGRAPHY: I have to talk about it. I was awe struck by the cinematography of this show. The saturated color palette and the breathtaking views and snapshots of the Bangkok city, made me feel like I was actually with them in that place, it really set the mood for the type of scenes. Not to forget that Sun's character is literally a photographer in this series so yeah that was also really well done.
STORY: Now coming to the story. GMMTV has done it again. They took a really good plot and then ruined it. Like most shows this show also suffered from the degradation of the series as the episodes progressed further. The first half keeps me interested and curious, the second half just makes me question everything, from the plot to the characters. Judging for comedy, this series was pretty good according to my standard. The romantic part was also really well done thanks to NanonMind's amazing acting. But the thriller part - oof. That is where the writers missed. There was just not enough suspense created. It looked like a thriller but it did not feel like a thriller. I have to say the plot twists were done nicely but because the suspense wasn't much they didn't land that well specifically the ending. Why did they start the the whole Kritsana plotline if they were not going to put an end to it?? Why did the villain of this story win?? This just shows that the writers were lazy to write all of that. If they had worked on that the show would have been lot better, it would have not just passed on a message of mental health importance but also of speaking up the truth by journalists and media. Turns out her mom did die for nothing.
Now talking about each character:
1. Sun: A morally grey character who did become a good person at the end. He understood, that what he did was not 'love karma', but scamming and then changed his job and redeemed his past mistakes even though they won't erase his past, but they will make him a better person. I thought that he had claustrophobia the way he reacted in that elevator, but turns out it was something else. Oh and also his nerdy look with those glasses was really cute, I loved his style throughout the series.
2. Sairung: First of all, the representation of DID was very bad. The writers didn't do proper research on the disorder and claimed that it can be fixed by "love"(there is no cure for DID yet). Sairung's five personalities were very well coordinated, I wonder if that can actually happen; they were all very interesting also, they all had a specific purpose to be in Sairung's life, and they were each on their own mission, putting together broken fragments from a mystery long buried. I also wondered throughout the series why Marnmok seemed like a leader for all them, as if she was the main personality, the show even gave her a lot of attention and her role was pretty big in the suicide plotline. But then how did they choose Sairung as the "final" personality ? Yes she has the same name as the girl but she did not hold much importance in the story. And honestly in my opinion, Marnmok and Sun had more chemistry and Sun even fell in love with her at first sight (I'm still baffled how they "chose" a "final" personality).
Dad: Oh I hate the dad. The whole problem started from him. They didn't villainize him enough. And his claim that love can heal his daughter, yeah sure go ahead boomer. He did not think much about the consequences his actions will have, and then even went ahead to fool his daughter using Sun. Worst character in the whole show. And his claim that his wife was having an affair? Haha, he deserved much more karma. He was okay in his place to back out from searching about Kritsana because of his wife and kid but his wife was also correct in her place to search about the truth and do her job as a journalist. They both were correct in their own places.
Phat: Actually, he is the only character in which I can't pick flaws. He was there for an exact reason and it was well executed.
De & Gudji: Great comedic timing by Louis and Parn. They made such a cute couple <3
