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.^[3][4][5] The average rating was 7.04, with the finale reaching 11.92, highest of the Channel 3 in the year.^[6]

The series was highly acclaimed. Especially the 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.

The sequel Krong Kam aired in 2019 on the same channel.^[2]

It was broadcast on Cambodia's PNN TV in 2016.
