I learned some history and enjoyed this drama with amazing twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat! The acting is excellent. The viewer is transported back to the historical Kingdom of Ayutthaya. It's exciting! There is everything from royal backstabbing to squabbling servants. Watching this I learned about the historical figure Constantine Phaulkon, a Greek adventurer in ancient Siam, and much more history and culture brought to life. This show captured the hearts of a big TV audience in Thailand and I can see why. It was a hit show because it's fantastic and very well done.
