I See Dead People (2021)

One of the best Thai dramas of 2021.

James and Mew, have a fun playful quality as actors. Both strong in their humor, they play off other actors' emotions so well. As, one of the sweetest pairings to date; these qualities they bring to the characters of Squinty and Pum.

I never doubted for one moment that the mains weren't in love. The chemistry between them is refreshing. This romance is non-toxic and natural. Misunderstandings are voiced, and worked on together as friends first and then as a couple. With multiple characters, a second couple, three if you count the parents - it's quirky and fun. This is really an ensemble cast with everyone (even the non-living) having multiple stories played through, and resolved. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a little more than sweet, but without that bitter aftertaste of some dramas. Enjoy.

Entertaining but very frustrating!

So many times I wanted to write a review because I got so frustrated but then I decided not to. Finally I can't help it anymore so here it goes. I like the drama series for its comedy. There are definitely great moments. But the main character, he's 25 years old. He acts like a little kid that is way too slow to act. Instead of asking questions, he just stands there and calls out names. Aside from his ability to see ghosts, there's nothing special about him. Nice? Not really, he doesn't really go out there and help free spirits. He sees them all this life, but yet, at times he's totally fine, and at times he's all afraid. The consistency of characterizations in this drama series is just terrible. The most frustrating part of this series is during situations when someone is hurt. They all just standing around and calling for the ambulance takes quite a bit of time. The emotion that goes into seeing someone passing out or injured feels as though not there.
Situations and storyline are just very inconsistent and frankly not many things make sense. The main story is not bad but everything else that supports it is not really there unfortunately. As mentioned above, it's a relaxing and entertaining series to watch but if we were to pay attention to the details and the conversations as well as characterizations, we will get very frustrated. Just a few personal opinion. Enjoy the show!
