Sleepless society insomnia series#
I really don't have any kind of criticism, I think this was absolutely flawless.Despite the lack of english review for Thai Netflix series The Sleepless Society: Insomnia, the 13 episodes series is attention grabbing and neatly developed. The actors were all really good, especially the protagonist who portrayed flawlessly her experience with the trauma that led her to develop her insomnia. On this last point, I loved Faye's subplot in particular. This is really clever and helped tying everything together.īesides the articulated story, I really appreciated how they tried to convey some moral messages and touch on delicate topics. While watching this, I had the impression some characters were really unnecessary, but at the end it turned out that each and every character had a reason and a purpose. Although some details were predictable, the overall scheme was absolutely unimagineable. It starts out quite modestly with Iya who wants to understand what happened to her parents, but she ends up uncovering the secrets of everyone on the island. I'd reccomend it to the people who are not much experienced in mystery dramas and the people who love the mystery genre.Ī cleverly surprising story The show is cleverly produced with plot twists at every corner. So overall the drama is good and I liked it. Honestly speaking I always guess who the killer before the drama tells the Audience but in this one I didn't saw that coming. That's why I think the drama should've been shorter cuz they certainly did not had more story to entertain the audience. So, becuase of that I was pretty much bored in the whole drama. So if I compare it to the dramas I've watch in the same theme and genre I didn't like it that much cuz I've seen a few dramas like this already.
Of course the main motive was to find the killer but they gave me a lot of events and things to entertain me in between the time they were finiding the killer but this drama wasn't like that.
The whole theme of the drama was interesting and I really wanted to know who was the killer but what bored me was that there was nothing going on interesting other than finding out who the killer was.Īs a person who is a big mystery fan, all of my favourite mystery dramas had something to entertain me in between the episodes rather than the main plot of finding who the killer is. As a person who watches a lot of mystery dramas the story was pretty predictable for me. If I say honestly, I was pretty much bored in between the episodes. This is a review i wrote for another website originally but here you go -Īfter watching I can say, I liked it. Rewatch Value 5.0 I saw there are only 2 reviews for this drana so i decided to add my two cents. The whole cast also did a great job with their performances.Īll in all, I'd really recommend everyone to give it a try! don't let the few amount of recognition it got discourage you because as I said before, it's a lot better than it might seem at a first glance. She's exactly what we mean when we ask for a 'strong female lead' - someone who's not necessarily fearless or reckless, but brave enough to face her own fears and do the right thing.Īs for others, they were great too! The side characters, whether they're likable or despicable, are really well-written and I love how they're written like actual characters rather than just some stepping stones for the MC. She's smart, strong, and capable without being unrealistically 'superior' (as in intelligence or other aspects) to other characters. The MC is the best thing about this drama. Because plot-twists aren't supposed to be confusing, they're supposed to either caught you off-guard or make the story more interesting and complicated as new developments take place (at least that's what I believe, since I've watched my fair share of 'mystery' dramas that are a complete mystery for me to understand.) To some, maybe the plot might be a bit predictable, but it doesn't lowers the enjoyment, it only proves that the plot-twists were believable enough for the viewers to catch and not get confused.
This is the first drama in which I couldn’t afford to fast forward any scenes because each episode of it kept me on edge of my seat and I loved every second of it. It's really not what it may seem at first what appears to be somewhat typical mystery drama about a mundane island in the beginning changes into something unexpected and dark. When I started it, I wasn't expecting it to be THAT good and even managing to grab my attention with just the first episode. I love plot above all and the plot of this drama is indeed quite amazing, everything is foreshadowed well and it stays interesting till the very end. I can't exactly put into words how absorbed I was into the story. A Hidden Gem! TDLR: Insomnia was a breath of fresh air, consistent with its storyline and gripping for all 13 eps.
