Let's just cut right to it, this show was painfully boring. There, I said it. A story built around partial amnesia has real potential, but between the choppy scene structure and random flashbacks thrown in constantly, the whole plot ends up feeling more tangled than it needed to be. The romance doesn't fare much better either, it's written so poorly that I never really found myself invested in this couple. Both leads come across stiff on screen and deliver their lines in a really awkward way. The show runs 8 episodes, each somewhere around 30 to 35 minutes. Hanuel, a 29 year old language teacher, wakes up after an accident only to realize his memory stops at age 19. It turns out he'd been in another accident back then too, which is why his memories cut off at that point. He has zero recollection of the fact that he's currently living with his childhood friend Saebyeok, who's now a huge celebrity. That makes the whole situation even harder for Hanuel to wrap his ...
Ahh Fat is a “shemale” sex worker at a bar owned by terrible owners who only cares about profits and gangs. She is going through some psychological turmoil and is looking for redemption. She ends up making friends with 2 other co-workers: a sex worker who simply chores through life after a mysterious event that turned her from being the boss of the bar to being used as for sex and a male gay gigolo Pumpkin. Ah Fat finds a strange, unique sort of happiness in friendship that had evaded her for a long time. Then comes a turn of events that changes everything; Ah Fat will have to choose between saving his friends by killing the evil shop owner, and standing idly by. This is the final straw; Ah Fat is pushed to the brink, all hell breaks loose.
After trying to patiently watch the film for 20-25 odd minutes I finally gave up. None of what was unfolding in front of me was making much sense. There were unnecessary sex scenes (which you can expect since the film is set in a club in red-light district, but then there is a limit. There are a lot of darker moments in the film that makes suicidal people a common practice amongst sex workers in Thailand. But none of them is really explored. It's shown in a scene and the film just moves on without delving deeper. The acting (which I guess is mostly new folks) is terrible. Actor playing Ah Fat is supposed to show her body naked so people can see boobs and dick at the same time, which is clearly just for sensationalizing purpose. No clarity is provided about backgrounds of any of these folks of how/when/why?
This is a terrible waste of time. If this is 1/3, I really hope either the rest 2 parts never come out, or at least I dont have to watch them. I dont even know why I am reviewing this here. I hope this can save others the trouble and stay away from the film. (1/10)
