Well, all the GMMTV synopsis is citing...
...such as: "A journey full of excitement. Learning new cultures, overcoming obstacles. Romance and excitement in WOLF" is morelike listing exactly what this series is lacking.
Now, if WOLF contacted me, I would definitely Accept. How relaxing to have my life handled by somebody else. All I would need to do is to do as you are told. Then collect 10 million:) Of course it's a fantasy, as nobody would bother to mingle into your private affairs (while being miraculously able to monitor you in every situation) only to sponsor everything for you and then give you prize of yet more money just because you behave this way or that way. I mean, if WOLF existed, it would be like a modern fairy tale: in classic fairy tales they mostly grant you wishes and you make your own bed. While with this you have zero responsibility, you can just obey and be totally zen about life PLUS you get paid, LOL. I wouldn't be keen on broadcasting what I do to "spectators", but else it's perfect.
It all takes place outside the regular lives of the participants though, as it's happening abroad, during constant traveling. Therefore most of the people they need to deal with are foreigners and strangers they'll probably never meet again. The thai cast is speaking english often and I didn't enjoy listening. There is some cast speaking other languages, too. Some with subtitles, some without. I would prefer if the show stayed in Thailand.
Though on some of the posters it may look like we'll watch a group kind of thing, mostly we go on character's separate lines (each filling their own "missions"). We keep switching in between them sharply, and the sudden change is not always pleasant: as it usually starts with the computerized voice spurring the new mission's specifications on the unprepared viewer. It kinda disturbs the flow and each actor kinda runs their own show, which are not all on the same level. So it feels almost like constant switching among several series. Also the episode runtime is not enough for all of them, so each episode has one character that is omitted.
In contrast with the dramatical setting and insanely high monetary reward, the actual tasks given are pretty basic (sometimes bordering on boring/annoying) so it kinda drags since early episodes. I kept wondering who would sponsor all this and what for. I don't buy it that this "WOLF" would start something so costly and involving so many "innocent bystanders" just to give the selected few a "character lesson". And why of all the people in the world, or in Thailand, it should be this "Don, Por, Mo, Plan and Ryo". I mean I might be able to imagine people with more interesting character flaws:-) Either way, the contestants not only seem to be under constant surveillance, also the constant advice. Nothing much can go wrong, they always receive alert in time. Anyways I didn't find the presented missions very "thrilling" to begin with...
It does't matter that much how you act on your holiday, or with someone whom you'll never know.
First 6 episodes (dropped during episode 7), the characters succeeded in mission after mission, were glad and satisfied. On the other hand, as a viewer, I didn't find any "drama" I could consistently enjoy. All I saw were thai actors abroad, interacting with the same person for 2-3 episodes tops, speaking to each other in bad english.
And because nobody really went beyond the rules of the game, I was like: Okay, can they all now return home, speak thai, and live their lives? Why watch people who want nothing more than to win the prize money? If I was into that, I would be watching reality shows, not dramas.
This series makes even Toni Rakkaen seem not attractive, New Thitipoom not cute, and Off Jumpol not funny. "Congratulations" to that achievement. By the way, viewers who were looking forward seeing their favorite cast together in 1 drama would be also disappointed. The main cast has scenes with support only, never together. It doesn't look there'll be a single scene of as much as 2 of them together, except Off & Punpun in early flashback, or final I didn't care to watch. Because honestly I was not even curious about the whatever conclusion involving these people.
Either way, the cast is wasted here. They should have hired people with no professional experience (maybe First Kanaphan could stay) to portray the "characters" in here and to sing the title song and to operate the camera. For this show to LOOK what it actually is.
