On the surface, this Lakorn had a promising premise: Sandee gets drunk one night and sleeps with friend, Thada. Sandee is a female engineering student surrounded by men and the two are friends in a close-knit group of four guys and one girl. The idea of exploring how a drunken mistake could change the dynamic of a friendship and of the group was interesting enough to put my qualms about Lakorns aside and press play.

Honestly, I should have listened to my initial instincts.

Any sense of outward progressiveness on the part of this show is a total sham. It's the same misogynistic drivel that Thai Lakorns have been feeding to women forever. Even above the endless grinding sexism of the show's messages - nun/whore dichotomies, women being pitted against women, men being let off the hook for their cheating and lying while women end up taking the blame - the show deals with every point of conflict by somebody realising the conflict never existed in the first place. That's just bad writing.

What started off as a show with a strong, independent female lead trying to make it in a male field while navigating double standards around sex and sexuality became yet another morality tale in Thailand's virginity cult. As usual, my life is worse for having watched a Thai Lakorn. I won't make the same mistake again.
