The Thai TV drama scene has always been known for its unique plot and bloodshed, and in this field, "Golden Palace" (formerly known as "Love and Hate") is undoubtedly a classic that combines all the elements. In this drama, the audience will be taken into a complex emotional vortex, witnessing how a man becomes entangled with three sisters with very different personalities, forming a love-hate story.
The old version, starring famous Thai actor Pong, has garnered a lot of attention with its gripping plot and profound characterization. After many years, Thai TV decided to remake the series and invited the popular student Flim to play the lead role, presenting a new perspective to the audience. FLIM, with its empty background and superb acting skills, has managed to create a complex character that can be both loved and hated.
The Golden Palace tells the story of a wealthy family in Thailand. After the death of the head of the family, the eldest daughter inherited the family business and reluctantly took on the heavy responsibility. She lives with her two younger sisters, one smart and the other innocent and kind. However, when Apu, played by Flim, appears, cracks begin to appear in the originally harmonious sisterhood.
Apu's appearance is like a storm, completely turning the lives of the three sisters upside down. He first saved his second sister, and then won her heart with romantic actions under various coincidences. However, his purpose is not so simple. Not only did he start an ambiguous relationship with his eldest sister, but he also aimed at the naïve third sister. Behind Apu's actions lies a larger conspiracy - his family has a deep enmity with the three sisters' families, and his goal is to destroy the family and seize their property.
Apu's plan seems perfect, but what he didn't expect was that the emotional entanglement was far more complicated than he imagined. He gave the eldest sister a promise of power and the second sister's fantasy of love, but also made the third sister indulge in the flesh. In this game, everyone fights for their own desires, but in the end they all fall victim to Apu's revenge plan.
As the plot develops, the second sister begins to realize Apple's true purpose and tries to reveal his true colors. But between family, love and revenge, the choice becomes more and more difficult. Apu's feelings for his second sister also become complicated, and he finds that he is truly in love with her, but this relationship, which is based on lies, is not destined to last.
The story of The Golden Palace, while full of blood and drama, also reflects how blurred the lines between love and hate, and the complex light and darkness of human nature. This drama is not only about Thai social hierarchy.
