This drama is graphically violent so read the tags carefully before deciding to watch it or not. Honestly, I wish I could have skipped said scenes because it was horrible but it was a little late before I realized they were going to show it as is.
The best part of this story, the ending. I won't say more to avoid spoilers.

==> Highlights:
== We're leagues away from Lakorns revenge stories with redemption arcs or the intervention of karma. Here the more the episodes progress, the darker it is and the more we want thunder to fall on the Akharaphaisansakul and reduce them to ashes. It really shows the rotten side of money, power and the secrets behind the alcoves.
== The characters, except maybe Kate and Prae, are really well written. Their actions are in keeping with their personalities and there is no attempt to polish them to fit into a box of acceptability. It's raw and it's easy to dislike them.
== The supporting actors are amazing. I salute in particular Foei Patara and Oat Voravudh who are totally inhabited. If you have seen them in other roles, the contrast with their performance here is striking.
== The ML's behaviour will make you seethe with rage. Is he an idiot, a conscienceless person or an extremely docile servant? You would have liked him to be more consistent, to be more proactive. The last episode didn't reconcile me with him but I got the writer's purpose.
== It is frightening to discover the weight of the media and the importance of image in Thailand in the business world.
== This drama under its violent side evokes without concession many social issues such as patriarchy, corruption, misogyny with an unfortunately realistic outcome. The way in which the struggle between nepotism and meritocracy within a family is presented is also interesting to witness.

==> Points I enjoyed less
== Sometimes I wish some lakorns would shorten their episodes, here I would have liked 1 or 2 more episodes to avoid the rush in the narration as well as to give a little more weight to Prae's character.
== Kate's revenge plan was promising but weak in it execution. She tried to weave a big picture but didn't take all the variables into account and I didn't buy the quick trust she placed in Vee. I wish she had lived up to Nawin in terms of schemes and intelligence.
== As it was their love for Prae that pushed them to work together for this revenge, we could have really just shown this common interest that the beginnings of a romance. Fortunately the script doesn't linger for long. You have to watch until the end credits to realise that this part of the story isn't an open ending.
