Strong premise, uneven execution — but the world they built is worth exploring
The chemistry between PoohPavel works — I believe what they're conveying on screen, even if they don't fully win me over as a couple personally. The premise itself is genuinely compelling: an orphan with extraordinary senses paired with a strictly rational thinker who dismisses anything occult, thrown together into a murder case stretching across decades, wrapped in temple rituals and ancient forces. There's real potential in that setup.
The problem is that the series doesn't always manage to sustain it. It drags in places, and Pooh's character was — for me personally — exhausting in a way that actively made it harder to keep watching at times. Which is a shame, because the world this show builds is actually fascinating.
If you're drawn to supernatural mystery with a Thai cultural backdrop and don't mind some pacing issues, it's worth a look. Just maybe brace yourself for the lead.
