The Thai drama show ‘Master of the House,’ sets up a fascinating mystery involving a pampered wealthy family, their luxury home, and a badly abused crew of servants.
Roongroj Thevasatitpaisarn, a prosperous diamond tycoon who marries his maid, Kaimook, much to the chagrin of his sons, Phupat and Mavin, dies mysteriously soon afterward.
As a result, his death sparks a ferocious war among his heirs for the fortune, with Kaimook and the other servants caught in the crossfire.
1. Who killed Roongroj?
As previously stated, Master of the House is a murder mystery centered on the death of Roongroj, an extraordinarily wealthy diamond mogul whose sons, Phupat and Mavin, are psychopaths poised to inherit a fortune.
Naturally, the brothers are the primary suspects. However, the drama is told from the perspective of Kaimook, a young woman employed as a maid who married Roongroj just before his death. She also turns out to be his murderer.
Kaimook had plotted, with the cooperation of all the other abused workers, to frame Phupet for the killings of his father and brother. Kaimook completed all of the necessary tasks.
She had video evidence of Roongroj signing his assets to her and could incriminate Phupat for everything.

2. Why Did Kamook Want Revenge?
Kaimook’s motivation is simple: she and the other maids, particularly an older woman named Dao, were severely mistreated by Roongroj and his family.
The humiliating routines began when she arrived for the job interview and only worsened. Roongroj was a sicko who believed that his wealth and power gave him the right to treat others, particularly women, as personal property.
Dao committed suicide as a result of his advances, and Kaimook was on the verge of doing the same after gaining the patriarch’s attention by being skilled at her profession and interested in the butterflies he raised.
The first step of Kaimook’s plan was convincing Roongroj to marry her. With both sons out for his fortune, Kaimook made Roongroj believe she could sire him a manipulable heir who wouldn’t grow up and try to kill him.
The irony, of course, is that Phupat and Mavin were the way they were precisely because Roongroj had pitted them against each other their entire lives.
3. Did Mavin Change His Father’s Will? What Was Roongroj’s Original Will?
Following Mavin’s death, Phupat obtains significant authority over the family business. He even contacts his late father’s attorney to analyze the will. As a result, the truth about Mavin is revealed, just as his brother initially suspected.
Whereas Phupat had grown to despise his father, Mavin wanted to be his successor, adding to his legacy as a warped way to demonstrate his worth.
Mavin blackmailed Roongroj’s attorney with damning information about his daughter to persuade him to amend his father’s will to his advantage. For the same reason, Phupat only received a golf course, while the company’s shares were divided equally between Mavin and his wife.
However, this disclosure raises another question: to whom did Roongroj genuinely leave his company? For an answer, the attorney shows Phupat the original will, in which the patriarch gave every penny of his estate to Kaimook and any heirs she may have.
Stranger still, the attorney has a video of Roongroj signing the will, with the maid-turned-wife there alongside him.

4. Why Does Phupat Kill Mavin?
Phupat’s behavior throughout the celebration is suspicious, given his troubled relationship with Mavin. He assists his brother in impressing Carlos in order for the two to reach an agreement, despite the fact that he no longer owns a stake in Theva Gems. Furthermore, his concern about his brother’s drunken state prior to the fireworks is inconsistent with the siblings’ typically adversarial relationship.
As a result, it is unsurprising that the boat explodes, leaving only Phupat and Joke intact.
5. What do the Butterflies Mean?
Roongroj’s fixation with butterflies is an effective metaphor for his propensity to own and control what he deems lovely. They reflect the confined freedom and agency and the reduction of character to outer beauty.
The freedom of household personnel inevitably coincides with the freedom of butterflies. This isn’t particularly complicated.
6. Was it a Happy Ending?
With Roongroj, Phupat, and Mavin all dead, Kaimook gets her wish. In a symbolic gesture, the servants take over the house, now masterless and free to live as they choose. On that level, Master of the House has a happy ending.
Is this a happy ending, though? On the surface, it seems like one, but Animal Farm started that way, too. An idyllic utopia of true equals is hard to come by, and it seems inevitable that hierarchies and prejudices will begin to emerge in time. You can replace all the family portraits you like.
Still, depressingly, it seems human nature to assemble ourselves into haves and have-nots, into the powerful and the powerless, and our capacity for awfulness seems to be controlled only by our capacity for getting away with it.
The servants may well, eventually, become the very thing they despised and form the very system they toppled. But with some luck, we won’t have to sit through another season of it.
