Thai Drama of Social Politics
MASTER OF THE HOUSE (2024) is a dark well-made Thai drama, concerning social politics and the heirarchy of a wealthy elite family, that are suddenly possible inheritors of their fathers vast diamond empire. Much corruption and betrayals ensue.
"After the patriarch's death, a family engages in a power struggle over his diamond empire and his recently wed housekeeper."
Honestly, this drama is pretty difficult to watch, however, due to the lack of many favorable or empathetic characters in the show, as well as its dismal and disturbing air of corruption, scandals and scheming. The wirst part is the rampant abuse of the servant staff. The nature of the beast, but disturbing to watch, nonetheless.
However, the quality of the show is definitely noticeable, with there being appropriate dismal atmosphere, good cinematography, believable settings and costumes.
Overall, it was an interesting show to watch and glad to see more Thai dramas available these days, but it could have been so much better. Still, worth checking out.
