Master of the House

Wow that was soooo slow. The acting was terrible and the script was just awful. It felt so forced and fake. Each interaction felt like a real bad translation. The words kinda match their mouth, but then kinda didn't. There was no character development, and I don't really watch for that, but this was blatantly terrible that you could feel it. The twist at the end was not really even a twist. I have two stars because it could have been decently bad versus just terrible. If there's absolutely nothing else to watch on Netflix it would better for you to take a walk outside or just go to sleep. If you need help sleeping this will do the trick.

The universal theme of rich and poor is one that will always intrigue. However, to create intrigue, the plot needs intricacies, peppered with ambiguity, to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat and scrambling for the remote to 'skip intro'. This doesn't have a lot of that. In fact I found myself using the FF button on some episodes to stop the pain of some of the acting.

Then Episode 7 comes along. Beautifully filmed and creates the buzz I'd been waiting for throughout... they should have used some of this to create the intrigue needed in the first episode...

Overall, too obvious, some atrocious acting but enough to keep me watching. I'm glad it's over though... or is it?

I was really looking forward to watch this series but OMG... I suffer from suspense and intense sounds and effects which is way way too much. In some scenes theres no need for those intense mood and the building up music is always there and its very annoying.

Im not sure whats the goal of the director here but most of the actings from all actors are "overreacting" but i try put up with it. Because i was hoping for it the get better.. unfortunately its not.

I could not get passed ep3 so please keep in mind that my rating and review are only for the first couple of episodes. Good luck and salute to those who can finished.

Disappointed :(

A tale of a perverted family, insulated by wealth and privilege. Every single family member is sinister & exploits the servants that live on the estate. Add some incest as the sexy moment, keeping it in that family. Otherwise, it is humiliation, rape and abuse, beginning to end. Dark drama, not exciting. It will put you to sleep. Wake up from snoozing, more ugliness on the screen. Family members dislike each other, resulting in predictable schemes and infighting. Indescribably bad series that somehow got picked up by Netflix. Thankfully there are only 7 episodes with an odd twist at the end of this sub-standard work.

Started off with a mystery and the premise makes the viewer root for certain characters. The unravelling of the mystery was entertaining to watch because of all the plot twists.

The social injustice narrative became a bit too heavy with the sadistic abuse of the servants, and there never seemed to be any way out. The social injustice narrative became a bit too heavy with the sadistic abuse of the servants, and the tiresome part of it is the fact that there never seemed to be any way out. They all had to endure it because of the poverty back at home, and the seemingly high wages that "compensated" for the "back-breaking labour." In spite of that explanation, it's hard to believe that money is enough to motivate someone stay at this job when some of the abuse could maim them for life, making it difficult for them to continue earning any income at all.

The acting was quite convincing for the most part, for both sides of villains and protagonists. Thanavate Siriwattanagul, who plays Mawin, stood out for me. The characterization of the servants was quite one-dimensional for all of them, so one cannot say that they had much acting to sell to begin with.

Ending was satisfying, although a bit too fantastical.
