This drama reminded me that world isn't as hopeless as I thought!
“Tham Luang is a monster. Water is the enemy.”
But water wasn't the only enemy here. Because when it rains, it pours.
In a world where every other headline makes you lose faith in people, this felt different. This isn’t a story of corruption, greed or selfishness but what humanity is supposed to look like when we put aside ego and just do what we are supposed to. Watching it honestly felt like a reminder that, despite everything awful we see daily, humans are still capable of being extraordinary.
The series doesn’t just highlight the rescue mission , but also the collective efforts of everyone involved. I loved how the boys weren't just shown as victims and the rescuers as heros. Everyone and everything felt humane. From the governor refusing to give up even when the odds were impossible. Parents waiting with a patience that feels almost unreal, holding onto that hope. I can't even imagine the fear. The Navy SEALs and cave divers who put their lives on the line every single time they went into those tunnels. Doctors who flew in from across the world. Hydraulic engineers rerouting water systems. Even random Reddit engineers and people on social media throwing in ideas to help. Farmers not hesitating even once but about their livelihood. And those kids who had every reason to panic, but instead held onto their calm and their strength.
The cinematography ties all of this together beautifully. The caves don’t feel like props. At times they felt alive and suffocating. The water dripping through narrow tunnels, the claustrophobic walls pressing in...everything just felt so real.
I am sure the drama might have taken some creative liberty but I feel they did a good job in making me feel things.
This is one of those rare series where nitpicking feels pointless. The story itself is larger than any flaw.
For me, this is an easy 10/10 not only because it’s well made, but because it restores something we forget too often "Hope". Hope that when we have to, we can move mountains, drain caves and pull miracles straight out of the impossible. It left me a little bit shaken but very hopeful!
I would definitely recommend it 100% ! And will also recommend to keep a box of tissues on the side.
