An eye opener
Wow. I genuinely didn’t expect a show to so casually glorify the complete erosion of morals. A handsome face and a tragic backstory don’t magically make it okay to normalize selling intimacy for money. It’s still wrong — no matter how aesthetic the cinematography or how intense the chemistry.
What disappointed me most was that there was no real character growth. Even in the final episode, the ML passionately kisses the same girl who literally paid him to be her sex partner. No redemption arc. No moral awakening. Just… romanticized dysfunction.
And honestly, that part hit deeper. I’ve always defended Thailand and its people whenever someone tried to stereotype them as having “no morals.” I believe culture is bigger than any one narrative. But watching this? It made me pause. Not because a drama defines a country — it doesn’t — but because media shapes perception. And this one leaned hard into glamorizing something that should’ve been challenged.
Consider me disappointed. Not shocked. Just disappointed — and a little more aware. Next time I'll hold my tongue before defending mindlessly
