Warning: There is no ending

Since MDL changed it to a 9 episode max series as there is no news about the 10th episode, Im moving on from it. At this point, we're probably not going to get an end. Im not fond of the show anyway. I was only waiting for the finale release as a completionist to finish the story.

As for the story, main character Khun is being manipulated by his cheating boyfriend Tao who has an affair with their next door neighbor Vit. Khun suffers from trauma in his past that seeps into the present and distorts his reality. He doesnt know what is real or what is an illusion. Is the affair really happening? Is it all in his head? But, it seems so real and he feels certain he is being gaslit. Right? But then what about the blood and the deaths from those around him? Regardless he must be there for his nephew and continue on.

I only was interested in watching this series because of Fluke. I enjoyed his other series, My Ride. But, the writing made it hard to sympathize with him at all. As he is an unreliable character, if the memory of his past is true, he has done things that is completely irredeemable especially to what he did to his sister-in-law despite how evil she is too. For that reason, I cant like his character at all. And the story unfolds as if you're supposed to want to sympathize with him but, he's not without fault himself.

Also the depiction of Khun's destructive episodes is wild at times. I distinctly remember a scene where he was having one and throwing things around the room and he threw his body in like a perfectly tucked somersault rolling across the bed to reach to the other side to continue the distruction. It was so wildly unbelievable. It threw me off so much because it looked so practiced and choreographed when the scene is supposed to show unbridled emotion and fear.

Also, Khun's nephew is very important to him and he takes responsibility for raising his nephew since the parents (his brother and sister-in-law) died. Yet this kid who is supposed to be the center of his universe and the purpose to live is very much treated like an accessory this entire show. Khun fears anything happening to his nephew and repeatedly loses track of the kid. He fears that the ghosts of his brother and SIL are going to kidnap the child. The kid is usually just sleeping. He doesnt talk much and only really show up in those instances. Seriously, he's not depicted as a real character. He's only shown to amplify Khun's illusions and desperation to gain sympathy and to remind us he has stakes.

Even if the 10th episode did release, it wouldnt have changed my opinion of the series. Nothing would have made me like it. Though I do feel bad for those who did enjoy it and waited months and months for no conclusion to the story. That isnt right especially with no further updates even after actors jumped ship to sign with other companies.
