I haven't seen the old version and have no clue, what the storyline is, so could someone please post summary. Then I can understand.
It's been a while since I've watched it. Plus, there were no subs when I watched it. But, like
krisyaporn said, this lakorn is about a mother who hunts down the men who gang raped her and her daughter. The daughter becomes mentally unstable after the assault so the mother disguises herself differently each time she goes out to murder the individuals who were involved in the rape. And I may be wrong, but I think the woman's husband was the one who originally ordered or paid the men to hurt his wife and daughter.
In the end, the mother gets revenge, but she goes to prison so her daughter is left in the care of a relative (I think). It was very depressing because the mother (played by Nok Sinjai) had such a miserable life. If I understood it correctly, she was abused by her husband, and her husband was also cheating on her. Whenever she tried to stand up for herself, her husband would always abuse her. And I think that's why eventually the husband got fed up and ordered the men to hurt his wife so she wouldn't have the courage to stand up for herself anymore. The mother only had her daughter to live for. And as if it couldn't get any worse, they were both sexually assaulted by that group of men. The assault was the tipping point for Nok because while she was willing to suffer for her daughter, her daughter was now suffering along with her, and that wasn't okay. It wasn't just about her anymore, her daughter had been hurt and she was going to get justice for them. I think another thing was that the husband had connections so the mother wasn't able to get help from anywhere. So she decided to take things into her own hands, even if that meant she would eventually go to jail for it.
I remember the rape scene vividly. It was raining so they couldn't get home. They stopped by a bar or store nearby to get shelter from the rain. There were a group of men there who were playing cards and who'd been drinking. When the men noticed Nok and her daughter, it was so creepy because they kept gazing at them with perverted stares. Nok and her daughter found shelter at another place but the men eventually caught up to them, and by that time it was nighttime. They appeared out of nowhere too. That scene left a strong impression on me because I was imagining how terrifying it would be to be in that situation. Being surrounded by those men, and feeling trapped, like there was no way I could escape. Plus, seeing my loved one being assaulted a few feet away from me and not being able to help him/her. That scene depicts a realistic picture of what and how rape really is.
