Raan Dok Ngiw (2022)

A lesson in how to create apathy in viewers.

Disclaimer: The synopsis is triggering. What it triggered was public anger toward the mother initially, and blanket disgust not personally directed straight at the rapist. I found that to be an odd distinction; and, I won't confirm, or deny the copy as written.

As one of the most maligned and vilified of 2022 releases. It deserves that, but not for the reasons stated. You can watch the first 4 episodes and skip to episode 28; you will have missed nothing in your journey. Even without that 24 episode filler, you won't miss out on any salacious and criminal behavior. Because, there is plenty to go around. But, will get to skip through, to the only warm moments in the entire drama. Don't take these to heart; they will only confuse.

The series is boring, and the episodes repetitive. Scenes redone and content repeated so many times, empathy for any character is lost. Editing the number of episodes down by half and it would still be too long. This drama is a lesson in how to create apathy in your watchers, and turn a blind-eye to the criminality of rape in dramas. Avoid.
