When her life is ruined after she is trapped in the cycle of a crime ring, she creates a new identity as Ticha and sets out to take revenge. The promotional tagline describes a life in which one is not necessarily born only once or dies only once: trampled by social class, she waits for the day she evens the score.[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi) • [2](https://contentthailand.com/th/film/%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B2/) The story centers her conflict against Bussara Thanakitcharoenphon, the matriarch of the family that wronged her, with Patchai, Bussara's son, caught between his love and his mother.[5](https://www.one31.net/news/detail/72928) • [6](https://www.lemon8-app.com/%40tootsy_review/7439354697217180168?region=us)\n\n## Cast and production\n\nThe series was directed by Koo Ekkasit Trakulkasemsuk, with television scripts by Jeab Wattana Weerayawattana and Apisara Wongson, and was produced by The One Enterprise for Channel One31.[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi)\n\nThe main cast includes:[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi)\n\n- **Baifern Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul** as Wasana Meebunyang (Uyi) / Ticha Insalee, the revenge-driven protagonist[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi)\n- **Peach Pachara Chirathivat** as Patchai Thanakitcharoenphon (Pat)[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi)\n- **Lukkade Metinee Kingpayome** as Bussara Thanakitcharoenphon (But), the antagonist matriarch[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi)\n- **Xiangxiang Pornsroung Rouyruen** as Chompoonuch Arayathamthai (Poo)[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi)\n- Supporting roles played by Tai Penpak Sirikul, Namfon Kullanat Preeyawat, Oh Anuchit Sapunpohng, and Akk Akarat Nimitchai, among a cast of twenty[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi)\n\nThe theme song is \"พื้น (Reborn)\" by ASIA7.[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi)\n\n## Broadcast and reception\n\nThicha aired in the Monday–Tuesday 20:30 prime-time slot on Channel One31 from 25 November 2024, with the finale on 17 December 2024.[1](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdpst40nkywumq3o5xo0wi) The series became a talking point after only its first two episodes, both for its intense drama and for a behind-the-scenes controversy.[7](https://www.matichon.co.th/social/news_4924873) By the end of its run, Thai media described it as a quality drama for the channel that succeeded strongly in ratings and social-media buzz, with its finale hashtag reaching the number one trend on Thai Twitter, and credited it with creating a significant phenomenon in the Thai drama industry.[8](https://thethaiger.com/th/news/1306091/) The closing episodes drew praise for the performances of the three leads and for Xiangxiang Pornsroung as Poo, and for depicting human trafficking as a real social problem.[9](https://www.komchadluek.net/entertainment/drama-series/594317)\n\n## Child-actor controversy\n\nAfter episode 2, the father of the child actor Maki Machida Sutthikulphanich, who played Uyi as a child, posted behind-the-scenes information on the platform X about a harrowing scene in which Uyi falls ill and faints. He wrote that the scene \"may look especially realistic because that day Maki suddenly had a fever of almost 40 #ThichaEP2\".[7](https://www.matichon.co.th/social/news_4924873) • [10](https://www.khaosod.co.th/special-stories/news_9524118)\n\nThe post drew intense criticism on social media. Commenters questioned whether having a child perform while running a fever of nearly 40 degrees Celsius could constitute child abuse, whether medical staff were present on set, and whether the production provided adequate welfare for its performers; some also criticized the parents for allowing the child to work while sick and for publicizing it.[7](https://www.matichon.co.th/social/news_4924873) • [10](https://www.khaosod.co.th/special-stories/news_9524118) The controversy was compared to an earlier Thai entertainment scandal involving a sedated cat on a drama set, and calls began circulating to boycott the series if no one took responsibility. The father's post was later deleted, and at the time of reporting neither the family, the production company, nor the crew had issued a statement.[11](https://www.dailynews.co.th/news/4128551/)\n\n## Finale reception\n\nReactions to the final episode were divided. Although the series trended at number one, some viewers criticized the ending: after seven episodes building Ticha's anger and desire for revenge, the finale offered no scene of reclaiming justice proportionate to her grievances, Bussara appeared to come out ahead, and the conclusion was called unfair to Patchai, who died a sorrowful death.[8](https://thethaiger.com/th/news/1306091/) Other coverage framed the ending as closing the revenge account with both satisfaction and the ruin of every character, and praised the cast's emotional range.[9](https://www.komchadluek.net/entertainment/drama-series/594317)\n\n## References\n\n1.
