Very hard watch and had to force myself to finish.
This series sadly disappointed me extremely. I've been getting more and more into this genre. I fucking love these mystery, law and political series. Before watching, I was really curious what the series would actually be about (bc my dumb f never watches any trailers). I liked how it had 8 episodes so I could binge watch it with my time limit. I seem to be one of the only people who didn't like this series, so don't judge the series based on my review too much. All I can say is that I had different expectations and was extremely disappointed. And I'm saying this as a fan of lakorn, who also likes some of the work of Wo Worawit. In my opinion this series is just extremely overrated. I almost dropped this series after episode 3...
Only recently heard of Film Thanapat, since the accident with the, what I assume sasaeng, tried to kiss him. Then later on found out he's playing in Mon Merng Mang, a series which I'm really excited to see! Also never seen any roles Jam Rachata had before. I was just really curious about the acting work since that's one of the main things I focus on when watching a series. I have to say the actors are super good and the reasons I did manage to finish the series. Film Thanapat is good at expressions, like extremely. I can hate him like 4 minutes long and then shift to another feeling. Also, Aew (the grandma), she is sooo good at acting aswell. I love her characters and she also fixed some of the hate I had.
Let's get over one of the few reasons I didn't like it a lot: the editing. Starting by a minor issue, the translation was fucking horrible, at least I understand Thai quite good and this is not the editing or production team's fault. I don't like the extreme editing mess. Sometimes they randomly slowed down scene's or sped them up. Also cutting on action could be way better if they even tried to imply it. I'm gonna be very honest here and this is something most people know of me. I think the intro's and ost's are VERY important when it comes to giving personality to series. The audio was boring and just overall disappointing. The ending ost was quite good and some part in the series they sang, which was also good. The background music however, wayyy too loud. Sometimes the effects went over the dialogue. Horrible fx effects with the fire in ep 5, and some other parts. The thing I hated the most was the lightning. Lighting that reflects sooo much in the eye it looks fake and unrealistic. It's sooooo irritating. Extreme overexposure. Lighting that reflects sooo much in the eye it looks fake and unrealistic. It's sooooo irritating. and noticed in multiple scene's extreme overexposure. Lightning is important, but do it well.
Next up another irritation is Charn. I FUCKING HATE HATE HATE CHARN, his attitude is annoying, his 'fake' smile and overall his fake personality. And with me hating Charn a lot has to do with the extremely well done acting. Really wanna see more of Thanapat. Granny saying there might be a reason he acted like that made me kinda like Charn more. It just got me thinking about his actions. Like trauma's? Charn can't put any fucking sense is his brain, no one can make me like you Charn. At the ending I started liking him more but only at the very last episodes. He was a big red flag, sorry not sorry lol. Tinn did not deserve this.
This series was a mess. It's all over the place and zeroooo build up. Feels super rushed and definitely needed more episodes to make the story more interesting. Not gonna blame the screenwriters for this one but 4 screenwriters working on this series is... a bit much. Could possibly be the script passing down the whole time.
Characters that aren't likeable and relatable at all, which is important to me to be able to actually understand the series from character viewpoint. The tension is FUCKING GOOD, just a bit overdramatic and too much. Why do we need each 10 minutes a verbal fight? The chemistry was veryyy mid, only due to expressions that you could notice love. it lacked flirting or touches or gestures in my opinion. It kinda felt like: "hey guys we both like each other now yay!" and kiss kiss. No big realisation or crushes, no, just immediate romance.
Side character who? The side characters were fucking confusing. I get the family of Tinn but where did all those ppl go after a few eps? Only our saviour grandma. Also was heavily confused about Thaenthai and Methee.
The ending made me give a better review. The ending was actually cute and just nice. They fixed Charn's attitude but missing the perspectives of all characters. I never got away from the confusion I had about Thaenthai and Methee. It was still unclear what their roles exactly were, but that's my fault. Overall, watch it to form an own opinion, I feel like I'm the only person who rated the series this low.
