Under rated. Fully recommend. I started with use it as a filler show. By episode 3 I was full on binge. Watching this drama as a Thailand drama, made in Thailand, with Thailand actress/actors/directors/writers, it is very good. Keeping in mind the societal norms, political and police corruption, and the wealthy abuse of others, it is home grown Thai life. The plot comes out hot, brutal, and corrupt - all showing in ep. 1. The rape, physical and mental abuse, by her husband; starts Kate (Bee Namthip) off into a complicated journey of pitfalls and twists. Bee turns in a next level performance as Kate. Out classes her cast mates. Generates great sympathy as the desperate victim of most of the men she meets and even her best friend. But that is just part of Kate. She is conniving and deviant. In this role Bee demonstrates a wide variety of personalities, from depressive pity to a psychotic murderess. Dynamic!! I cheered for her in those couple of moments she gets for romance. Jin (Goy Arachaporn) wins best supporting role. Her facial expressions and body language are tops. Jin's love for Tew is boundless. Overlooked and taken for granted, Jin ever hopes for Tew to return her love. And he sorta does twice and dumps her twice. The soul crushing emotions Goy gives to Jin's character made me want to murder Tew. Raht (Ten Tosatid) is a driven culprit capable of murder and love. Raht presents as a strong man full of violence and empty of belonging. Ten is a handsome/beautiful man. Raht winds up in the middle of corrupt cops and politicians, he soon regrets. When he seems to have finally found love with Chatchai (Kate's husband), it only sets how hard of a fall he suffers when Chatchai is murdered.
This show delivers many surprises in twists and turns. Kate's, butt munch husband, Chatchai is abusive dominant to Kate. In a twist, I appreciated, Chachai gets dominated by the corrupt political boss, to include bondage and undesired buggery. Cheers!
Some of storyline is typical for drama. Some of the storyline is not anticipated nor predictable. Episodes 12 and 13 go crazy with twists. I am really thrilled with the out of the box twists. Kate is beautiful and successful in her life, although it turns into a plague of unwanted attention and behavior from jerks. Throughout the drama she is depressed, desperate, angry, nuts, and suspected of being a murderess. And man is she all that and more. Ep 13 wraps up 12 episodes of what is Kate really like. Love you or hate you, in this show, Kate will kill you.
Overall, the cast is really good and cohesive. Several of the supporting roles are excellent. Naner Nisawan and the female cop that breaks the case (yea I get it, can't find her name) both deserve more work, great acting. Writing is good, the directing is okay. I thought the scenery and music added value.
One thing that slowed down a hirer rating from me, was Tew (Aim Bhumibhat). Tew, the character is immature, selfish, and ignorant. Too often a whiny weak person. On the outset he seems to be a bold seeker of justice. But a couple of episodes in he just develops into a weak man with little conviction in himself. I did not like the presentation of the character delivered by Aim. To me, Aim lacked presence. In emotional scenes he was flat, unconvincing. In the handful of "action" scenes, Aim was off balance out of his comfort zone with painful obviousness. I have no other exposure to Aim's body of work. It may be unfair to evaluate his on-screen presence. His deep emotional scenes were across from Kate and Jin, who are on a higher level of presentation.
