Pang Sanaeha (2012)

The synopsis did make me watch it. I have a soft corner for ""supernatural with a little heart"" kind of stories! And it is a mix of a little sweet, a little sad, little funny, a little face-palming and a bit of creepy horror. Yes, odd combination I know . The whole concept of putting such a manly main lead into such situations and watching him cope is hilarious at times, but watching the characters (of this world and hereafter) make connections is really well-done. The acting is pretty natural, the banter is so real, you feel you have said them or heard your friends say the same stuff at time, especially the main lead and his BF. The horror part is pretty well done too. Old school style horror but creepily close enough to real life: enough to give you the goosebumps when thinking about those sounds you hear at night when the wind blows. Can't say much about production value, but give it a chance. WARNING it may be a little draggy for all those used to fast paced K-drama or high gloss j-dorama but still give it a chance. Once you get past the lackluster sets, the story & relationships unfolding will keep you hooked. REWATCH: mmm... hard to be surprised a second time so unfortunately no, but definitely return to watch select scenes.
