I finally got to finish this series after more than two tries. There was something about the vibe or the script in the first four episodes that kept me from engaging with the story. Although I loved the high quality and EmiBonnie's natural beauty and chemistry, I originally had to drop it.
Now that I have completed it, I feel the series could have been better. While I was totally immersed in the plot, Nene's constant "I want to destroy their happiness" attitude—specifically targeting Khem's kids when they were clearly already unhappy—was very irritating. Instead of making a logical, more impactful move, she chose to break emotional bonds. This didn't make her character enjoyable at all; she was just as bad as Khem.
Pam agreeing with Nene's revenge plan without insisting on knowing Nene's backstory felt diabolical. Even if Pam wanted revenge, she should have known better. Furthermore, the fact that Dokrak easily forgave—or rather, accepted—Pam was another breaking point for me.
On a positive note, I totally LOVED View as Oat. I really wanted to see more of OatNene. Mim slayed her role, too; I think this cold look suits her much better than a sweet or lovely one.
Kawi is a character with so much emotional baggage; he seriously needs a long break from the family drama. For some reason, I actually disliked Orn more than Khem. She lets her husband have mistresses and is perfectly fine with it as long as her reputation isn't damaged. What kind of mother is that?! She needed her 19 or 20-year-old kid, Rak, to grow up and point out how disgusting and shameful her husband's actions were and how the other mistresses' children were being treated badly. Oof!
In the end, despite how much I loved the chemistry, something about the vibe and overall style of the series prevented me from fully enjoying it as entertainment.
