Production & reception The series based on a novel in same title by Chulamanee, Nakhon Sawan novelist. It was his second work adapted into a television series, following Ching Chang in 2009 on Channel 5.
All of his novels that have been adapted for television take place in Nakhon Sawan province, to the point where fans have come to call it the "Nakhon Sawan Universe". Although the stories are not directly connected, they are tied together by recurring elements such as characters, locations, events, and similar points in time. The narratives are set against a rural, local backdrop and often centre on the complexity of imperfect families. There are sharp-tongued mothers-in-law who control and torment their daughters-in-law, and every character is deeply human, shaped by jealousy, bias, and emotional fragility that binds them all together.
Filming lasted 16 months, starting in January 2014. Before the broadcast, Sud Kaen Saen Rak was thought to be just an outsider series.
It tells the story of three generations of intertwining lives and the family grudges that befall them. Loaded with melodrama, and the over-the-top physical and verbal fights between female characters that became the show's iconic scenes, it unexpectedly became extremely popular among Thai viewers and became the talk of the town in 2015. The average rating was , with the finale reaching , highest of the Channel 3 in the year.
The series was highly acclaimed. Especially the villain protagonist "Yaem" played by the veteran singer and actress Rutklao Amaradit, Yaem is an old woman with a very insidious and shrewish. She is the one who plots the life of her eldest son and grandson to hate their wife and mother.
