Not a perfect drama, but still a very good one. It held my attention for the duration, but it lacked some of those real powerful moments than the best Chinese historical dramas have. The acting, sets, costumes, fight choreography were very good, but the autopsy models were pretty fake looking (but to be fair, that is probably a good thing).
I think I preferred the crime solving subplots over the palace politics subplots, which I occassionally felt dragged a little bit, especially towards the end. But I was quite satisfied how they wrapped everything up.
If you like Chinese historical dramas, or are a fan of any of the lead actors, then this drama is definitley worth your time.
My score: 8.5/10

I've put together some detailed thoughts in a REVIEW above, including a plot summary that actually explains what this movie is about. The plot summary here on this page is incredibly vague.
You're welcome.

Your website makes my anti-virus software have a heart attack.

Oh thanks. I've seen that one and I really enjoyed it a lot.

I tried repeatedly to sign up to iQIYI, but kept ending up at a screen with an endlessly spinning "waiting ..." graphic. I eventually gave up, concluding that they must not want my money. I then RELUCTANTLY went to kisskh to watch it.

What is TPOB?

I actually like that. It just adds as little bit of variation and makes me pay more attention to the scene. The trick is to not overuse these sorts of shots - but I don't think they are overused here. Having said all that, I appreciate that some people will find such camera angles annoying or distracting.

I was reluctant to even start this drama due to the number of the negative reviews and comments, but now I've finished it, I'm glad I ignored the negative comments and watched it.
The bottom line is I enjoyed it. It definitely had some weaknesses, but it also had a lot to like, and it is those positives that I want to focus on first.
* The story was sufficiently engaging to retain my interest for the duration.
* The production was quite high, both in cinematography and audio. I also liked the OST.
* The acting was fine for this type of drama.
* There was quite a bit of comedy, especially from the three body guards.
* The leads had plenty of chemistry, with lots of cute moments.

Next, I'll list some things that some other viewers criticised, but didn't bother me at all.
* There were quite a few product placements, but I've seen dozens and dozens of dramas with product placements, so they don't bother me.
* The lead's intimate scenes were quite subdued and less spicey when comared to some other recent Thai GLs.
* Ayla cried a lot. It's true, she really did, but I wasn't bothered by it.

Lastly, I'll point out some changes which (in my opinion) would have resulted in a better drama.
* The story could have been tidied up and tightened up. The writing was OK, but not brilliant and I don't think 14 episodes were needed to tell this story. Personally I think Ayla's illness subplot should have been cut out.
* I'm really not a fan of noble idiocy as a plot device, so I really would have preferred it wasn't used.
* The fight scene choreography could have been improved.
* Tawan's and Ayla's dads going from bitter enemies to best buddies instantly didn't seem even remotely believable to me.
My score: 7.5 / 10

If that is the case, it is a real shame. It must be frustrating for filmmakers to live in a country where administrators who have no clue about their art get to arbitarily make decisions (for ideological reasons) that affect their work. Because I live in a liberal democracy, I just take something as basic as creative freedom for granted.

Many Thai GL shows are available free and legal on YouTube. People should watch them there rather than a third party website.

Because anyone who disagrees with YOUR opinion must be wrong, hey? Because YOUR opinions are the most importantest opinions of all, right? I'll have to remember to check with you in the future before I form an opinion about anything.

This drama is much, MUCH better than bfriend.

I didn't like the direction the drama went in the final episode. The "it was all a dream" trope (for me) undermines the entire drama. The challenges that were met, the victories that were achieved and the sacrifices that were made all become meainingless and irrelevant because none of them actually happened.
My advice to anyone who isn't a fan of the "it was only a dream" trope, simply stop watching at the end of episode 29. For me, that would have been the perfect ending to this drama.
