Rivalry Thai Drama Review
Rivalry is a masterpiece from Thailand and this drama has a beautiful story. It also has an equally talented cast to wrap it up which is, fortunately, the case here.
The excellent performances from the cast have only taken this drama to another level. The story shows the many flaws of the characters and how each character deals with them.
Some positive, some negative and it describes all those emotions so perfectly that even though you may not like every character, you can sympathize with them and understand why their reactions differ.
Everyone has different experiences and difficulties in life but that doesn’t mean one person’s difficulties are the most important and the others are not.
Everyone’s struggle is equally important and needs to be acknowledged. This drama is able to portray all these complex feelings in a believable simple way.
Here the main character has extraordinary chemistry that is undeniable. I can see why they were repeatedly put together before.
They describe all the emotions so beautifully that sometimes even dialogue isn’t needed to understand them. Hope to see them together again in the future.
All other couples also have good chemistry. Luckily, no relationship is toxic.
There are also very powerful moments of the women sticking up for each other even though the characters hate each other.
This is a good example of women’s empowerment. Kudos to the writers for such a heart-touching scene.
Pop has a great magnetic presence on the screen. Her character is one of the highlights of the show and takes the show forward. He deserves more leading roles for his acting and charisma.
The ending is great, although I wish some of the characters had a slightly better ending, at least each character finds peace in their own way. I think it’s an excellent drama worth your time.
