Hunger (2023) Review: Chutimon's Fine-Dining Class War

Sitisiri Mongkolsiri's kitchen thriller splits critics — 72% critics, 68% audiences — but Chutimon's second star vehicle is essential Thailand viewing.

Divisive but craft-forward [Thailand](/country/thailand/) drama on [Best of Asia 2016–2026](/best/asia-2016-2026/) — watch after Bad Genius for Chutimon's arc.
