It is true Thai drama romanticise violence but this time it is not a Thai thing but the original story the drama…
Exactly as you wrote!!! Teens and adults, (if we need to distinguish these groups) would see the show differently and it is ok! Everybody can take from it what he/she/they want. It is that simple "just stop watching" if you don't like the show, I don't understand people who have time to spread negativity on certain groups or projects just because they can. I am not a teen anymore but watched the original Japanese version as a teen and a lot of people nowadays are aware of all the toxic things in this story. I remember even as a teen I could clearly see all the red flags and all the toxic tropes. But Thais are really doing their best to lower it and present the story in a new light. And actually, I don't understand why people don't see corruption and bullying are present in schools, it happens all the time and unfortunately, it would. Also bashing teenagers is so lame, they are normal human beings trying to figuring life, we all have been ones and some people forget it. Also, this show is not romanticising any fetish or anything like that. People tend to miss the main point of the whole story - that spoiled brats can actually change and that girls should fight for their rights and don't be silent. Yes, the heroine (at least in Japanese and Thai versions) is strong and independent and back in that time, it was a new role model for the girls to be presented in shoujo genre.
I really love your article, enjoyed reading it. As a fan of the Japanese version I still agree with everything you wrote. Also, I try to do slight comparison of both versions for fun, might write it when the show is over :)
ok so can friday come earlier? I just wanna see PatPran's lovely escape from reality, hide in their own world, chilling and them enjoying themselves without the toxicity of surroundings
