A Realistic Exploration of Family Struggles and Addiction
“Daughters” (2020) is a gripping Thai drama that delves into the lives of five teenagers and their families. Set against the backdrop of the 1990s, the series unflinchingly tackles sensitive issues such as drug addiction, abuse, rape, and suicide. If you’re easily affected by these themes, proceed with caution, as the show doesn’t shy away from their raw realities.
Story: Each character in “Daughters” is intricately crafted, with complex backgrounds and deep-rooted problems. The storytelling is remarkably detailed, leaving no room for plot holes. The series paints a vivid picture of dysfunctional and unhappy families, emphasizing the impact of unhealthy addictions and drugs. While the narrative unfolds straightforwardly, its complexity lies in its authenticity. From start to finish, the show feels like a slice of real life, devoid of sugar-coated resolutions. The ending, though not conventionally happy, resonates with a sense of truthfulness.
Acting and Cast: The casting is nothing short of perfection. If you’ve seen any of the main actors’ previous works, you’ll understand why their performances are awe-inspiring. Fluke and Ploy, in particular, shine brightly. Their portrayal of troubled characters adds depth and authenticity to the series. The chemistry among the cast members is palpable, drawing viewers into their intertwined lives.
Overall Impression: “Daughters” stands out from the crowd of dramas. It’s not just entertainment; it’s an emotional journey. As a viewer, I felt a personal connection to the characters—perhaps because their struggles mirror those of people I know or have encountered. The show doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of life, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate unfiltered storytelling. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a resounding 10.
However, a word of caution: if you’re sensitive to the heavy themes explored in “Daughters,” take care of your emotional well-being. This series doesn’t hold back, and its impact lingers long after the credits roll.
In summary, “Daughters” (2020) is a poignant drama that leaves an indelible mark. It’s a reminder that life isn’t always neat and tidy, but it’s worth witnessing—even when it hurts.
