i love how key characters matured. i love that everyone got what they deserved. i love the juxtaposition of joy and justice. i love the theme of sunlight and how it played out to the very end. i even love the antagonists’ arcs and the strong emotions they evoked in me. for me, that’s the mark of a convincing actor. i’m looking at you, kemisara paladesh. you were outstanding!

thank you, davika hoorne and chantavit dhanasevi, for your creative vision. thanks to the directors and the entire cast and crew for bringing this story to life. most of all, thank you, mable and pangjie, for making these eight weeks memorable.

there’s more!

the upside-down triangle represents both water, a feminine symbol, in alchemy, and a female deity in a religious context. in episode two, i got hecate vibes from nanno when she made that triangular shape in the air with her finger, especially when the dog was beside her. dogs are sacred to hecate, particularly the females. if i remember correctly, the dog in the first episode is female.

what keeps me watching:

prim and shasha are serving bde, and shasha got that dog in her. 🤭

film nails it as a spoiled, manipulative diva. i love bambi.

the friendship between min and prim is precious. cheers to platonic love!

praew is attentive and feisty. a true knight to the rescue.

gorya has a quiet strength and knows her own mind. unrequited love is a bitch tho. i feel you, girl.

my only grouse is with netflix and their english subtitles, which tend to lose much of the nuance in the original language.
