Game of Outlaws (2021)

Amazing Lakorn with the reality of today’s issue.

As someone who watched it from the first episode and waited for it every thursday and friday, i can tell that game of laws kept me going. There are a lot of action scenes which is the main reason i watched it for and it didn't disappoint me. As for the story, it became repetitive in the middle but still bearable to watch as everything still make sense. GOO never missed a single detail on the reality that people like those exist and at whatever cost, they'll do it with their way. Whether being the bad guy who don't care about everyone's life and the good guy taking the shortcut of saving everyone for the sake of humanity. So it's a 9/10 for me + The leads acting are so amazing!!





Spoiler:

- Chart's death hurts me the most, my favorite character. It's so sad but given that his job is to protect everyone, he really did with the cost of his life.
- The Ending, If you're paying attention since the first episode, on the last scenes on the finale it was showed but still left unanswered on why nont and jen fought when nont already proposed to her on the beach. So it's either an open ending or there is a possibility of season 2 but on my perspective, s2 is not needed because they already solved everything. A special episode will do for it. But if nont really betrayed jen, idk where the story will go.

-Mavin and Lisa deserve a happy ending but maybe in another lifetime :((

A Second Season?

I’m one of the viewers that had been waiting for this lakorn to air since 2020, during “My Forever Sunshine” era. Game of Outlaws or Game Lah Torrachon, is simply an outstanding action-packed lakorn with bittersweet romance.

I had high expectations before it started airing, and yes, it reached my expectations. I love love LOVE how the production team, Metta Mahaniyom put their utmost efforts to deliver GLT, despite the lack of promotions from Channel 3.

Now I’m gonna put what I love & dislike about GLT into Pros & Cons categories. It’s gonna be a long review.

Pros:
1. The action is top-notch! My most favourite action scenes are Inspector Nont & Jennaree’s action scenes. I kept rewinding because their moves are too fast sometimes. I could tell that they were really trained for their fighting scenes, and you can watch Mark’s training/BTS videos on Metta Mahaniyom YouTube channel.
2. The romance. Oh God, I’m a sucker for romance, but not heavy romance. This one has bittersweet romance journey between the main couple, but it’s worth it. I won’t forget to mention that their kisses, OMG, for a moment I thought I was watching a lakorn from Channel 7, not Channel 3! Mark’s best kisses are, without a doubt, in GLT. It made the “slight romance” become satisfying for me.
3. The acting. As expected from the cast members that are mostly experienced, I could say that their acting is *chef’s kiss*, especially Taew’s. Her performance is spectacular! (PS: I’m not speaking as her fan here!). Ah, I think only the teen couple that really seems in acting, but it’s acceptable since their indeed new.
4. The chemistry. Should I even explain this? GLT isn’t Mark & Taew’s 1st lakorn together so their chemistry is highly satisfying. As for Top (Mavin) & Toon (Lisa), althought it’s their 1st time working together, they have great chemistry. And as for other cast members, they all go well with each other.
5. The quality. GLT is high quality in terms of production, sound effects, videography, props, etc. Simply said, it’s one of the rare Thai lakorns that makes me feel like watching a modern Kdrama. I hope more future lakorns will be produced with high quality like this one, following Metta Mahaniyom footsteps, no matter whether it’s action or other genre.
6. The storyline. Although some parts are repetitive, it makes sense in the end because everything here happens for a reason. Most scenes are necessary. No skipping unnecessary scenes for me, like what I did to most lakorns. This one is totally different.
7. The OSTs. I love all songs. Periodt.
8. Lastly, most of the time while watching GLT, I forgot that it’s a remake. It’s similar but so different, in a good way!

Cons:
1. The shooting scenes. Some shooting scenes look unrealistic, like shooting from far with just one hand. But eh, it’s still bearable for me.
2. Evil people are so hard to die LMAO. Especially Rita. Why is it so hard to see her getting even a slightest cut?! Sometimes I laughed because if this.
3. Sergeant Chart. No exact words to explain how I loved his character. He was one of my favourite characters, and they decided to kill him off, but fortunately, he died with honor.
4. Lisa & Mavin. Hmm, I didn’t really enjoy this pairing, but I certainly was hoping that none of them would die in the end (tho a part of me already had a feeling that it’d happen anyway). I’d say their deaths were unnecessary, if you asked me. But after all, GLT is a remake, so even tho the writer changed a few parts of the story, I think they decided to stick with “significant”/“important” parts of the original version.
5. Lastly, the ending. In my personal opinion, they should’ve just ended it with the beach scene, but I guess it’s still a GAME. If it ended at that confusing scene, I guess they wanted an open ending for our own imagination. But if I’m gonna be honest, I HATE open endings so I really hope they’ll give us a 2nd season! PS: But if there’s season 2, then most probably we won’t get to see Lisa & Mavin again. :(
