A pretty good show depicting what humans can do when they're pushed to the edge.

STORY - 8.0/10

+ The stories for each episode are decently written for the most part.
- Some scenes/actions were unrealistic, too dramatic, and/or escalated too quickly. (like why are we suddenly killing everybody....)
- They'd often introduce ideas but never delve deeper into it, so we the audience have to assume what happened (ex: Mei's situation in ep 1). But I understand it's cuz these episodes are too short to explain every single thing.
- Not a good/memorable ending; more details at the end of this review.

ACTING/CAST - 7.0/10

+ Kitty Chicha Amatayakul really carried this show. You can tell when Nanno is going insane, pretending to be innocent, or genuinely sad (ep 8 💔).
+ Special shoutout to Claudia Chakrabandhu Na Ayudya who played teacher Aum in ep 10. Her character wasn't very likeable but I could sympathize with her thanks to the great actress.
- There were quite a lot of side actors who were not convincing enough; it felt like they were just reading off a script rather than immersing themselves in the characters. To be fair, when you have so many actors put into a show like this, there are bound to be some who, let's just say... need more improvement.

MUSIC - 8.0/10

+ The intro and ending theme is just iconic.
+ They often played classical pieces, which added an interesting spice.
+ Great juxtaposition in the last episode - playing a soft, bright song during *that* type of scene.
- Except for the aforementioned, the soundtrack isn't really anything out of the ordinary.
- Some scenes used a dramatic bgm when nothing grand was happening. Instead, they could've used a suspenseful bgm that sets up the mood.

REWATCH VALUE - 3.0/10

A good one time watch.

This is by no means a terrible show; it's just not something I would want to rewatch over and over again. If I ever do, then it's either to see Nanno's expressions or revisit TK's story.

Additional comment about the story aspect of this show:

*** SPOILER AHEAD REGARDING THE LAST EPISODE ***

That last episode had so many secrets being revealed, so many things happening at once. I haven't even processed this reveal yet and they’re already moving onto the next one?? 😭 It was so chaotic that it became almost hilarious. Disappointing considering it’s the last episode, thus not a good/impactful ending for me to remember this show by :(
