No one could've prepared me for what I witnessed in these 3 episodes!
If you're like me and are, for some reason, drawn to melancholic, somber dramas then "The Effect" is a must watch!
On the other hand, if you're not a fan of these types of dramas then I think you should pass on this one. I will say this drama definitely does need a trigger warning on it because they do touch some touchy subjects in these 3 episodes, the main two being SA and harassment.
Plot: Some vibes you can expect to see in this series is true friendship, gossip/bullying, blackmail, depression, etc. Overall, I think what makes this series different from other Thai BL's is that 100% of the conflicts that happen in this series could happen in real life and that you actually do hear stories like this happening in real life. So, I definitely think this drama will hit home for a lot of watchers, whether they've been through a similar situation, know someone who has or even simply saw/heard of an incident similar to the one portrayed in the drama.
Acting: Overall, I think all the actors did a great job in executing their roles. So I don't have much to say on that.
Also I want to say that although 95% of this drama is a kind of depressing to watch the ending actually isn't super sad and the show actually ends on an okay note (imo lol)
