This review may contain spoilers
I honestly didn’t expect the last two episodes to make me cry, but they did. This series was a real rollercoaster of emotions.
Pheem & Than: After watching his mother get murdered, Pheem grew up hating the rest of his family and obsessing over revenge. His cold, calculating attitude is just armor to hide how vulnerable he really is. He’s manipulative and driven by vengeance, and while his choices are questionable, I couldn’t help but sympathize with his pain and even understand him at times. Meeting Than again reminds him that kindness, gentleness, and real love still exist. Than’s patience and moral integrity slowly help Pheem realize what truly matters in life. If Pheem is cold and calculating, Than is emotionally vulnerable and that’s what makes him so captivating. He trusts too easily, almost naively, but behind that soft smile is a man desperate for redemption, trying to rebuild the reputation he lost as a police officer, his lifelong dream. Both were betrayed by the same family, which makes their bond even stronger. Their relationship evolves from bodyguard and heir into something much deeper that changes both of their lives. And let’s be real, Daou and Offroad’s chemistry is undeniable, amazing, and easily the biggest pillar of the series.
Risa: She’s the character I loved to hate. I get her struggle to be seen and respected in a patriarchal world that values power above all else, but I couldn’t feel sympathy for her. She’s cruel, and behind that deceptively sweet facade, she’s hands down the most manipulative and ruthless of the siblings, pulling all the strings and playing them against each other. I can’t say I was sad about her ending. Huge kudos to Mo Monchanok though, she nailed it.
Chet & Park: If Risa was the one I loved to hate, Chet was the one I loved to love. I didn’t expect to sympathize with him so much. He’s definitely not a good person, but he’s not cruel either. He’s insecure, and behind his desperate obsession with becoming the heir, he’s really just a scared little boy craving love from his domineering mother and cold, indifferent father. Because of that insecurity, he’s the easiest to manipulate of the three siblings. Maybe he’s the only one who truly wanted a real family. And in a way, he found that with Park. Park’s selfless, generous love is the small beacon of clarity and comfort in Chet’s chaotic life. Despite all their flaws, they deserved a better ending.
