Review of POLICE IN LOVE (Episode 1/12)
STRENGTHS
1) MANGKORN
I’m honestly so impressed every time Mangkorn (War) appears on screen. He’s so cute and charming, and somehow manages to steal my attention every time he shows up!
2) PHARADA AND CUPID
I really like Pharada (Thiar’s mother) and Cupid! Their characters are hilarious, especially because of their facial expressions and reactions. They definitely add a lot of comedy to the show.
3) THE COMEDY ACTUALLY WORKS
Even though POLICE IN LOVE sometimes has plots or situations that don’t really make much sense, I feel like the producers are intentionally leaning into the comedy. The exaggerated situations and humour actually fit quite well with both of actors (Yin and War), making the show feel lighthearted and entertaining.
WEAKNESSES
1) CAMERA WORK AND MOVEMENT DURING INTRO
The camera movement during the opening scene, especially when the police officers are at the disco, really bothered me. The camera moves around a little too much, and it honestly made me feel dizzy while watching the scene. I think a more controlled camera movement would have made the scene much easier to watch.
2) PROFESSIONALISM OF THE POLICE CHARACTERS
There are a few situations that feel rather awkward and unprofessional, especially considering that the characters are police officers, with Mangkorn being an inspector. For example, Mangkorn and Thiar casually talk about their wedding and future plans while they are at the police station. There is also a scene where Khanin and Nadon are flirting with each other in the office.
I understand that the drama is going for a comedy-focused approach, but some of these scenes make it difficult for me to take the police setting seriously.
3) INTRO - TOO MUCH HAPPENED
Too many things happened in the intro at once, making it a bit overwhelming to take in. So, I don’t really think it was a solid intro.
EPISODE 1 - 7.3
