The Root (2022)

Eventful

I personally gave this show seven stars but even I think that’s too high. Without the actors this show would not be as good.
The story is really eventful and there isn’t a dull moment but that’s not always good. Events are happening back to back and it’s hard to digest the plot. Even when they stretch out an event, three “plot twist” would come up.
My next issue is the romanticization. They romanticized a lot of harmful behaviors and put pushed it away with montages of cute moments. Whenever a character did something wrong, the very next episode they would receive sympathy points.
Besides that I loved the music and cast. They played their roles so well, I genuinely hated half of the characters. If you aren’t triggered easily and like the actors, I would recommend it. A lot went on but I was very entertained the whole time.

Disgusting display of LGBTQ RELATIONSHIPS

This series is a conservative propaganda film on LGBTQ relationships. This is wrongly labeled as GL but the LGBTQ relationships displayed in this series are predatory and based on sexual trauma. The main character (Roithongsai) views her adopted sisters romantic interest as perverse and sexually deviant. I'm not saying LGBTQ people can't be sexually deviant. We certainly have examples of it in Hollywood (Kevin Spacey).

But this whole idea that the main protagonist (Rangrong) is only attracted to woman because of sexual trauma. And that LGBTQ relationships are framed as being predatory and manipulative is a conservative narrative, and plainly stupid.

I think the woman who wrote this was in her 80's? Go figure! Tbf there was some good acting by the cast. But the story line of this whole series was a disappointment from beginning till end. Roithongsai even marries a man in the end. DISGUSTING!!

Lesbians SKIP THIS DOG SH*T!!
