Insomnia: prolonged and usually abnormal inability to get enough sleep.
⚠️ Spoilers !!
TW // death, blood, killings
“do you believe in the power of the younger generation?”
is it even possible to feel so giddy and proud over this line? i relate to this so much because as a part of the current younger generation, i’ve seen others the same age as me fight for justice and rights !! using their platforms to speak out against the government’s injustices. lmao, kids my age from another country even made their president throw a temper-tantrum which led to him planning to ban TikTok, makes me chuckle everytime.
anyways, i truly believe in the power of the younger generation and i believe that all of us are willing to fight for what is right because its our future that’s at stake here. the decisions that the adults do in our community and government will either provide a good or a bad future, that will probably take so long to fix.
okayy, on to the review! :)
i honestly was hooked on this show after the first episode because the story kept making you want to see more and get to the bottom of what caused the island of Kra Ya Ngan to hate on Aiya (Aokbab Chutimon) so much. it had so many plot twists that i thought that the whole show would end up as one of Aiya’s dreams. fortunately, i wasn’t disappointed.
during the whole show, i kept thinking about the meme, “the villain.. the actual villain.” because everyone kept changing sides! i kinda understand though, since its honestly so hard to believe and accept that someone you love and known ever since you were brought up to this world is actually the most evil person on the planet.. yeah, i’m kinda exaggerating on this one but you get the gist haha.
i honestly thought that Suea (Best Nathasit Kotimanuswanich), Win (Gee Sutthirak Subvijitra, Mo (JingJing Varitsara Yu), and Yok (Ampere Suttatip Wutchaipradit) would end up siding with their parents and become one of the villains/antagonists in the show. i’m probably going to keep talking about the plot twists and i honestly thought that i was about to get mad at his character, he proved me wrong! he got his own dad in jail! lmao. i also thought i was going to be mad at Mo, but she was actually helpful towards Aiya and Faye.. i thought Faye and Mo wouldn’t get along but, girl code!
i felt bad for Suea and Yok because they were stuck in the middle because they wanted to side with their parents because “blood is thicker than water,” but they also want to side with their friends because they’re being unfairly treated by the society and the people that should be guiding them into proper and productive members of society.
the antagonists, Witsanu, Ram, Akkanee, and Sakka- i honestly felt so bad for them when i read their origin story. when Sakka ended up killing the Professor when he started provoking him by telling him about the time he molested him, i was liked, “that serves this bitch right!” but at the same time, i honestly thought that it was sad that instead of facing charges and actually cooperating with the police, they got away with it like nothing happened, even getting the Professor exposed for molesting the children, like them, in the orphanage that they grew up in.
also, what Ram did to Faye was appaling. just because someone did it to you doesn’t give you the go to pass the trauma on to someone else. i literally want to smack the guy in the face, it proves that someone shouldn’t be a parent if there’s something in their past is still openly haunting them to this day or if they’re not entirely in the right state of mind. fortunately, Faye ended up moving to Sydney after the whole thing to start fresh.
it was nice that Mo, Suea, and Aiya got the happy ending they wanted, and that Yok is finally moving to Bangkok to study. it was just so frustrating that Bud and Rassamee (Yok and Win’s mothers) are contunuing what Witsanu, Ram, and Sakka started. i honestly thought that it would end there. gosh, i hope they get what they deserve hNGGGG.
oh, and that scene where Tippy was replaced by an imposter who went to a good plastic surgery clinic because the original Tippy stole fake Tippy’s sketches and designs was so weird to me. if it were to happen in real life, it would be like OL replacing the real Jimin. LMAOOO
Win’s character was like Peter from Divergent (2014), guy looks and acts like a villain, but ends up being in the protagonist’s side by doing a power move and providing some major plot twists.
well, that ends my post! i decided to make this immediately after watching the show because i actually had a lot of thoughts while watching, like how frustrated and angry i am with rich people and politicians getting away with the shit they do lmao.
also, the actors who play Aiya and Suea are also in famous shows and movies like Girl From Nowhere (2018) and Bad Genius (2017) !!
thanks for reading ! :>

Best of 2020 (3/7 Shows): Secret Seven
Can you see the Pleides? It’s also known as The Seven Sisters. It’s the nearest star cluster to Earth. That’s why we can see it with the naked eye.
Seven Stars? P’ Padlom, which one do you like the most?
I don’t know. If one is missing, it won’t look as beautiful as it is.
That’s right. If one is missing, it won’t be the same, it looks most beautiful with all seven together.
