Whether out of complicity, condoned, or ignored - Everyone associated with the male lead abused the female lead. Exactly like in the original; a matching revenge-marriage-plot, with ongoing kidnapping and imprisonment story-line the mainstay. But, unlike the original, there are no repercussions. Though there is a shift in blind loyalties in support characters, there is silence from our unrepentant male lead. Those drunken floor scenes are some of the best, albeit time waste, wallowing in self-pity moments I've ever seen come from an abusive male character. Add the cringe-worthy suffering second female lead's pity-fest in culpability, and this remake becomes the 'sniveling version'. "Barb Rak Ta Lay Fun" is a toxic and venomous cruel mess under the guise of revenge. A depressing remake of a bad drama. Not recommended.
