Didn’t expect that ending but I did…
I didn’t think I would be able to catch this drama so soon considering… well, you know…
But I am glad I did get a chance to watch it (thank all the souls who made it possible) and I must say it was a good watch though some things weren’t answered. Like the video clip Best took of that animal of a man which I was certain she would use against him, maybe to help Korn’s mother, show her what a bastard he was, or to ask money but nothing came out of that clip. 🤷♀️ Another thing is the accident of Pleo (why the hell did he run in like that?) but in this case, I guess Pleo did not know it was him until it happened. The story was kind of predictable but it did not take away the suspense, it was still thrilling to see how everything unfolded. I didn’t expect that ending but I did too, I realized I was just trying to convince myself that I might be wrong. 😅 I didn’t really like that ending because I felt that they could have prevented his accident (if only they let him know it was him, he wouldn’t jump in like that).
The cast and acting were great, they all did justice to their character. Though I have heard of Ken, I have only watched bit and piece of his work but after seeing him in this role, I think I am going to try some other dramas of his. His acting is decent. As for Bright, I have seen a few of his dramas and I think his acting is decent too, I have hoped for him to lands more leading roles and I was very happy and excited when I heard he was one of the leads in this drama. And he did not disappoint and delivered timid but unpredictable (as Pleo said, he could be pretty “f*cked up” when he decided to be one) Makorn. Typhoon as Ter was good but knowing they had Oh Anuchit as one of the cast and did not think about making him Ter was saddening. I believe he would have been phenomenal as Ter, the versatile actor that he is. I was like why did they make up Typhoon to look old when they could have used Oh and made it believable. But I guess they feared viewer might raise questions if they made him the same age as Pleo (Ken) and the character Ter had more screen time in their young age too, sadly. As for Best (Linn), omg, I just want to go into the screen and slap her. She irritated the hell out of me (Linn acted her so well).
As the novel of this drama was adapted from was implied BL, there is a few scene here and there that made you ask if they were finding one another to be more than just brothers, like the scene where Makorn pulled a blanket over Pleo and stood a really long time admiring Pleo’s face. Or how Pleo really look at Makorn, like really looked at him and it happened most of the time they were together.
But because of maybe their cluelessness, along with Pleo’s head mostly on getting justice/revenge and Makorn having that awful trauma, most of the time it felt like they are still not aware of what they are themselves. And personally, because of that animal of a man (Makorn’s stepfather), I don’t want to think this as BL at all. I felt that Makorn won’t be able to have a relationship with a man. Although his fate was changed by Pleo, the fact that it happened (could have happened) and Makorn already experienced it once says that he could still have that trauma. But I guess he would be able to convince himself that it did not really happen because the present life was his life.
Another thing I loved about this drama was the ending song “Good to be bad”. It depicted Pleo’s mindset so well and Maew Jirasat’s voice is phenomenal, he really rocks this kind of music.
I would be rewatching this drama again for sure and I recommend this drama to anyone who likes thriller/suspense.
