The War of Flower (2022)

A true soap opera in every sense

Gets a seven on pure entertainment. Everything that can happen, happens in this show. Literally every week I came back to ride this crazy train and I was still surprised by the storyline.

First, the story. It's entertaining but... not very good. Storylines are only there to keep you watching. There's nothing deeper than that, even though some of the topics are actually quite heavy. As for the characters, only a handful are without sin lol. Most characters you switch back and forth from liking to not liking. The women playing Tawan and Orn were perfectly over-exaggerated for this kind of series. The grandmas, Rut, and Cheewin were also good. For the young people, I'm on the fence. They did a good enough job, but they don't seem as natural in these kind of roles tbh.

Now on to the music. Krist's vocals for the opening song are nice, though I'm not sure I'd listen to it outside of the show. I enjoyed Aye's ending song better. To me she's the OST Queen and I love all of her songs. Absolutely beautiful vocals.

To conclude, this is not the kind of drama I would watch again. Once you know what's going to happen, it's not fun anymore. I do recommend it if you're in the mood for something just absolutely crazy even up to the very end of the final episode.

Attention grabbing; but poorly executed

This show was different coming from most of the shows that I've seen from GMM since this is the second show other than 2gether and F4 Thailand, which ended this week as well that I've seen. The show is nice even from the synopsis, I was hesitant at watching since I knew that this show was going to be angsty and dramafulled, which I don't have a problem with at all.

Storyline/Plot: I liked the plot since they were two families who had issues with one another, and we (the viewers) are trying to understand why and how this revengeful story took place kind of like a mystery. Furthermore, even though the two family don't like each other its interesting how the kids try to navigate through said hate. However, I just felt like there was too many plot twists that unfolded towards the end that was so unnecessary and it felt poorly executed in the end. Moreover, they could have done more with certain character like Rut since all we saw from him was his poor financial issues as he likes to gamble and then get himself into issue when it came time to pay the debt off and this constantly happens over and over. Also, they could have executed the family tree better, cause boy was I confused and to even add into the mix some kids didn't even share the same father in the end.

Acting/Cast: This was the first time me watching most of everyone in the show, even though I noticed that Gun was in here playing Non as he was in Not Me another good GMM show. The casting was good, which wasn't the issue for the most part everyone played their parts well. Not to mention, this being Fiats last show before exiting GMM, he went out with a banger.

Music: The music to me wasn't all of that in my opinion after coming from F4 Thailand that had an amazing Ost. On the other hand, I liked that Aye and Krist did the opening/ending since they were the love birds in this series and end game. Furthermore, I liked the lyrics from both of their songs since it did match the theme of the show.

In conclusion, I will not watch this show again due to how poorly executed it was in the end and this is just one show (in my opinion) that you should just watch once because once you know everything that happens there is just nothing to it. It was good for what it was, and I hope GMM does better with shows like this.
