Sapai Look Toong (2008)

rape is not romance.

Rape and the final plot twist, or how to destroy a heroine (female lead) in 15 episodes, and not less. The female lead is a doctor with a moral compass, strong will, and a good heart. Stop there, a doctor. That profession usually denotes intelligence, empathy, being employed, and paying her own bills. Enter, the aging playboy male lead, and his toxically entitled family, along with a neighbor of the doctor. Where, karma and sins roll off, all of them, like the golden children they think they are. Stop again; sarcasm ahead. That doctor persona (according to ML family) just bleeds; gold digger, man eater, and promiscuity. I blame both the writer, and the director. Toss in a final hour rape and holding the female lead hostage - You now have one of the weakest and pathetic male leads I've ever encountered. There was no reason to rape the female lead. It did not belong there. Rape is not romance, and does not belong in the romance genre. Avoid.
