What an ambitious lakorn. You don't see this kind of procedural very often in Thailand and it's a refreshing change of pace. Here you get your revenge fix if you're into that but it's nothing like the getting vengeance on someone and then falling in love with them type lakorn. The acting is superb and this is some of Pong's best acting. I've noticed that Vill does this thing with her mouth when she speaks her lines, I've watched a bunch of her lakorns and she does this all the time, it's a little distracting but her acting is pretty good here. Her makeup is so pretty here too.
The details, hidden clues, and word play is executed perfectly. When Mor Tey touched Nid's knee, I was like hell no something is wrong and it's just as disgusting as I could have imagined. I knew something was off when she got injured and caused sarawat to leave Captain. Nid is a complex character, the lakorn did a good job to not tell you how to feel about her. You have to make up your own mind whether she is a cold hearted murderess or a pitiful, damaged individual. For me, I think her only saving grace is that she genuinely loves her husband and step child but she is messed up for coming up with such an elaborate plan and pretty much ruining Klah's life along with hers. Klah and Nid were never happy in their lives because they were so focused on vengeance. Klah is a victim of Nid's rage, she pretty much pushed him further into evil. He seemed to have wanted to quickly end his vengeance so he could finally find happiness living with Aum and his aunt. Poor Aum. When Nid killed Aum, I hated her. She was past redeeming there. They also needed to be more clear about Klah going back to hit Captain's daughter over the head and what that did for the Nid's plans. I also hated how they killed off Tack's character, he's so fun and he's smarter and more determined than even the p'ek and Krabi. The only murder I agreed with was Mor Tey. He's such a disgusting character and the way he didn't give up trying to harass Nid even after she got married was messed up. He deserved all the torture he received.
This is a nice change of pace for Pong, stepping away from the adulterer kind of role into a role where he is determined, responsible and at times emotionally vulnerable. I felt really bad for Sarawat Weytang, it was so hard for him to have to live a life where he is distrusts the woman he loves most. I would have liked to know more about how Sarawat and Nid met and why she married him. I kind of interpreted Nid marrying Sarawat because it was a good escape from her rapist as well as she could be close to a police officer who would be very close to her murder cases.
The cameos were a fun addition. I had fun going "oh there's Captain, oh there's Aom, oh there's Jes, oh there's Son". I wished it didn't end on such a cliff hanger though, we don't know if there is going to be a sequel or not. Overall this lakorn was a real downer, it really plays with your emotions and you get pretty depressed watching it. The pace was also a little slow, it could have moved a little faster with a tiny bit more action. But it's pretty well made with good acting all around.
