We're at story 4 out of 8. And?

Well, the hottest of the 8 girls got paired with someone who's not really a looker.

The plain guy is some kind of undercover cop, therefore this has a CRIME plot.

Which I am not really curious to see in the romance series circling around a dating agency, stylized in pink with many hearts.

James Kitkasem is the main villain here, which is... a misscast even worse than the pra'ek's. Now matter how commonly it occurs.

Wawaa is rare actress that does real kiss, but there were so many romance stories I watched where I would be so happy to see it and it didn't happen, then we have this 7-episode something where it comes out of the blue. And I feel nothing. There sure are many action scenes but how the two of them actually fell in love is unclear.

What IS clear is the serious theme of human trafficking (however silly portrayed in here) clashes in incongruous contrast with the carefree world of the dating agency filled with assembly of airheads. As for the romance, which this SHOULD be before anything else, Wawaa's character's line with her secret cop "boyfriend" pales in intensity she's got even with her sister (who btw. outshined her as the main female character). After all the "action plot" (which is blunt stupid, of course) the scriptwriters obviously did not spare much energy for romance. Which is the only genre thai tv actually CAN do in good quality.

So far 'The Cupids' is a letdown.

There's 50% still ahead of me, looks like I need to PRAY it will be better.
