A reminder that Dimsum E. Had shut their site and Netflix doesn't licence KC anymore. AlwaysGrumpyCat had it ripped on their site. (https://alwaysgrumpycat.com/kluen-cheewit-2017/). THE SUBBING PROVIDES BETTER CONTEXT THUS PLEASE WATCH FROM THIS RATHER THAN THE ONES EXISTING ON YOUTUBE.

Should probably be marked as a spoiler. Honestly, it could be anyone at this point.

I had to agree.

My biggest complaint would be the fight scenes. It's in all Thai dramas in general and not just this one. I'm so used to seeing Chinese or Korean dramas with their fight scenes that I tend to compare them together. The scenes look so fake, it's laughable. You can tell there wasn't any real power/strength with the punches and all.

In all honesty, I think it's more about the agency. From the little Google search I've done (correct me if I'm wrong), these actors and actresses don't 'audition'. In Thailand, you get sent as one of the castings by the agency then you get picked. A-listers just happen to be easier. Channel 3 just probs didn't find worth for them to work together again until recently with the news or perhaps haven't found a drama for them to milk from the CP yet.

(Dimsum Entertainment has the next best subs. It's even better than the original fansubs released out earlier back in the days of 2017. The site will shut down by the end of September. I advise people go see it for better context if you're wanting to watch KC. You'll have to have a VPN, because it's only available to some countries like its main base in Malaysia).

Where do you live because I don't know bout you but like half of the world can't access it. Lol. (I reckon Netflix ran out on licensing because if someone were to watch this now, late 2021, you couldn't find it, no matter the VPN. I instead had to option through Dimsum Entertainment with the VPN set in Malaysia. However they're shutting down the website in 9 days. There is no indication if they're leaving the site as is with the shows there or if the site will be gone all together. It looks like if someone wanted to re-watch or begin to watch KC 2017 in October into the future, the only access they have is the original subs. Which is a shame because from the ones found in DE, the subs are better).

Honestly it's ridiculous how much people (even though understandable), have these insecurities. Everyone thinks you can't just be best friend when one's female and the other male. I'm lucky enough none of mine ever had girlfriends, or if they did, our friendship had become distant enough that there wouldn't be a problem but the amount of rumours and speculations that somehow we were dating would make me what to vomit some bitchy comments.

Yeah, there isn't any to my knowledge. Some have fan subbed a few chapters however it's in another language. I couldn't find it online so whoever read it, most likely got a physical copy in Thai.

I wanna also mention some things I've researched thus far if anyone is interested. It turns out the novel was a lot mOrE iNtEnSe. Don't take that lightly. Thit was more villainous and Jee was an alcoholic with issues. Readers have mentioned the scenes written were brutal. The first adaptation followed closely to the novel. The second was the same but different. This one was made with the same intent and followed the jiff of the plotline but it's toned down. Enough that we all still love it in today's day and age without moral conflicts involved too much.

Jate? A nice guy however he still came across as someone who chose Dao like she's his second choice for a bit. Dao was soft but willing to sacrifice herself. The others? Jee's mother was strong, brave. But she let her trauma overshadow her love for her daughter that it became abuse. Sitta was smart given the business he ran for years in corruption and power but women were his pleasure. And he underestimated them. Pim? Her determination but she became sour the minute she devalued herself into the position she had and bullied others for it doing the same thing. The events that happened? Were merely results from miscommunication that should have taken minutes to resolve. Further proving in healthy communication. There were scenes that became too far for Jee which isn't ok at all. But I guess that's the 'waves of life' coming into play. Regardless, I still enjoyed this beautiful remake. Yaya and Mark pulled themselves out for this one. There was news circulating that they are reuniting again however not sure how credible that is. (Edit: It is confirmed just recently). I look forward to rerun this show again 5 years from now. (Edit: Nevermind that, I'm trying to source out the novel and the first adaptation. I'm rerunning this version again in the meantime. There's so many details a lot of us overlooked because it's clear from the beginning why and how they chose to script this version the way they did and how closely they tried to match things even from the insignificant details).

First and foremost, I didn't know there was actually a 1982 original novel written. Hell, I don't think a lot of us realise this is the third adaption they've done after the first one in 1983, and the second in 1994. I took a peak at some clips which was expectedly old quality and unfortunately not English subbed however I've come to the conclusion this version followed pretty similarly to the old stuff which should be according to the novel anyway. My surprise came about with the few actors and actresses here and there. I'll let you figure that out on your own though. That said, I don't have the means to compare and critique so I won't do that. I remember when this came out years ago, I was still a Lakorn junky and decided why not watch Yaya and Mark battle it out. Luckily, dubbing in Khmer (still is but due to copyright being more restrictive it's not common anymore) was a thing and so I didn't need English subs. The schedule was awesome. I watched through the entire thing each week they released for the first time, and loved it. Went through some of the available BTS and sworned over the CP even though I knew Mark was for Kim and Yaya was to Nadech for weeks. I eventually got over it however that didn't mean I forgot or loved it any less. It wasn't until now that I took the decision to re-watch the Lakorn as it's going through its rerun. Four years later, mature and self aware, I rewatched through each episode and found the many flaws existing throughout the entire drama. The characters were so flawed it made me want to pull my hair out but they had their own redeeming qualities. Jee was sweet, her love for everyone was so kind but her flaw was her insecurities that everyone around her hadn't given her much off. Thit? I've loved his sense of rightness but it became obsessive to the point it made him become this morally grey person we didn't like for a while. Chaiyan? His love for Piak is immense but because of this, he let slide things he also wanted from her but couldn't get. Piak was a lady who was also sweet in the beginning but she let her insecurities do damage to those around her.

Not everyone that watches comment. It's best not to let others bias impact yours. I say try to blank slate it and watch a couple of episodes to see if you like it.

I don't know actually? 😅 The official channel is probably autosubbed. The main ENG official channel is the one marked YoYo English. Episode 9 isn't scheduled for release until tomorrow.

I had to agree with you on that, and it's saying something because 😂 there's a level of difference as a seasoned watcher of C and K dramas in this particular crime genre even I can notice. At the end of the day, it's all a Lakorn.

I just realised the screenwriter crisscrossed the actor Ni Han Jin. They had him as Pugu Yun Si (The Love By Hypnotic) and they still casted him here as Pugu Yun Xiu. 😂 Lost brother from somewhere? Merely implying the same tragedy he had gone through or an alternate reality where he doesn't die? They even paired up Alen and Zhou Zi Xin.

Anyone know bout the sub situation?

I remember either back last year or a few years ago when they announced this that the female lead would be Su Xiao Tong. I was super excited not only because she would be leading, but because the synopsis was intriguing me also. Now that I've watched it, I'm satisfied. The plot, and I agree with the others was refreshing. A fresh take in the detective genre that I haven't seen for a while, especially set in such a historical setting. I did find the ending however, capturing you know who to be a bit anticlimactic but it was wrapped up so nicely that I think it's not too bad. The abrupt ending did throw me off but ok, let's face it, the screenwriter probably wanted the viewers to imagine and think beyond what we were shown due to the nature of the drama itself. The acting between each characters were normal, however I especially liked Wang Zi Qi's and Mu Huai Hu's as they pulled their characters to life and made them more realistic. The couple's was very sweet. I liked how healthy it was. No, I did not feel the strong romantic chemistry between any of the couple unfortunately nor the actors/actresses themselves, and I don't know why. Could just be the dynamic of the drama however. The scenes and filming was nice. The OSTs weren't that bad for such a genre either. Overall, definitely something a person would watch if you like the detective genre mixed with a bit of romance. (Gonna phrase Su Xiao Tong for a sec. She's come a long way. I'm not sure if she's ever lead a drama but if so I haven't seen it. She was fab during Young Blood, and fine in The Rebirth of the Drama King. She nailed this character too however I think if she branched out into different characters, it would be a challenge I'll like to see forth time round).

Ah. I have no idea if it was anti's. All I knew was that it circulated widely and blew up. If he said it was an accident, and apologized, I'm relieved.

Has anyone read the novel? I'm worried about how they're gonna end everything since I realised the author is the person who also wrote the novel Rattan was adapted from. How closely are they even following the novel?
