Take two rich, overconfident, broken men with huge traumas.
And add two poor, powerless people who care about them and want better for and from them.
I think this parallel in the main two relationships is what I adore about this show so much, because it's the same story being told in incredibly similar yet wildly different ways. Because while Charn and Tinn at least have some agency and control over their lives, both Thaenthai and Thee are stuck and can't do a thing to change their situation (yet). Charn and Tinn are choosing to play this game for fun/power/(whatever Charn claims it to be) (on Charn's end) and justice (Tinn's), whereas Thaenthai and Thee are forced to play it (for the other) to survive.
