Plot Synopsis

Inspired by real events, HURTS LIKE HELL is a one-hour drama series that explores the seedy underworld behind the once-revered sport of Muay Thai, revealing numerous crimes -- from illegal gambling to match-fixing. This limited series paints a picture of the diverse lives that shape the Muay Thai world through a new way of storytelling that combines reality-based, documentary-style narrative with TV drama.
