Bea Alonzo and JLC are indeed one true pair.

This short film tells the story of an on-screen love team that reunites for a project after a long break due to the pandemic. During their time together, they engage in heartfelt conversations about life, love, and their shared past. The plot is straightforward yet well-crafted, fitting neatly into a 36-minute runtime, and it beautifully captures the dynamics of their relationship. If we talk about love teams, fans often hope that these pairs will become real-life couples, enchanted by their chemistry both on and off the screen. But it doesn’t always happen in real life. By centering the narrative around the love team while not making their romantic relationship the focal point, the film offers a refreshing and authentic portrayal of their friendship both in and out of the spotlight.

The story is so engaging from the beginning to the end, making me want for more. Bea Alonzo and JLC undoubtedly have an amazing chemistry. Their dialogue feels so genuine and effortless, as if they’re simply being themselves rather than acting. I was smiling the whole time, my face hurt. The way they tackle the themes of life and love, through the lens of one of the most iconic Filipino love teams offers a profound insight: as humans, we often find our emotions beyond our control, especially when it comes to those we deeply care about. You know, feelings will grow, the line between professional and personal will get blurred, and it can sometimes have a positive or negative impact on our real-life relationship. But at the end of the day, people grow and move on, and the best of love remains.

Not the best, but not that bad for Ch7's first GL series.

First of all, I personally think it's fantastic that Ch7 has finally introduced a GL series. Even though it’s not produced by their in-house team, still, it’s groundbreaking. For anyone who isn't familiar with Ch7 lakorn, it's easy to draw comparisons with GLs from other channels. But as both Thai lakorn and GL fan, being Ch7's first GL series, I personally think Dangerous Queen is not all that bad.

When it comes to the story, Dangerous Queen may not be a total masterpiece, but the plot development is still quite faithful to the book. There are parts in later episodes where there's the shift in focus, but the core is still about Queen and Babe's evolving relationship. The slow burn still worked even with the gradual loss of momentum.

While the overall production quality of Dangerous Queen is good, there are some noticeable issues. The pace started off nicely during the first half of the series but lost its momentum toward the end. The story development and the direction, especially in the last four episodes feel choppy too. It seemed like they shifted focus from QueenBabe’s evolving relationship to the villains’ wild antics. And, I have a personal issue with the certain framing and angles, especially with how the director seems to gatekeeping the kiss scenes. It’s understandable if it’s the standard broadcast cut, but the uncut version? That’s nonsense. It's clear that this restriction is due to the channel's guidelines and I believe it’s also the director's choice, but it does detract from the authenticity and emotional depth of the romantic moments in the series. Seriously, wtf with that shot of the kiss scene from the back of Queen's head? From a visual storytelling POV, it doesn't make sense or even look good.

In the acting department, both Nur and Tangkwa deliver decent performances with some line deliverance look a bit rigid. But of course there's room for improvement in the future given that they are newcomers. But Tangkwa's portrayal of Queen is quite impressive, bringing the character from the book to life in a way that is both captivating and convincing.

All in all, Dangerous Queen showcases the potential of the actresses and the company, with some flaws in production and acting that could be improved upon. As someone who enjoy Khun Phuying's books, I consider this adaptation good and still worth a watch for its visual appeal and overall execution.

EngLot’s chemistry is overflowing.

Basically, ‘Love Bully’ is just another chaotic Club Friday installment. However, unlike most Club Friday series, the premise of this drama doesn’t involve affairs or cheating, which deserves a good point there. The storyline is not that bad, but it’s not the best either. Certainly, it focuses on the one who cares too much would be more hurt, while the one who cares less would be more frustrated at having to put up with all the crap all the time.

It's a Club Friday drama, so the conflicts are expected to be a little overdramatized. But despite that, good directions help convey the story well. In terms of acting, Charlotte deserves praise for her performance this time. She nailed it. The only thing about this drama that I personally like is the great chemistry between Engfa and Charlotte. The EngLot tandem makes the scenes they share look natural. Given that they are one of the most famous GL pairings in Thailand and also well-known internationally, it's not surprising that this series has become the most anticipated, most talked about, and most watched compared to other Club Friday series.

Love alone is not enough

When it comes to romance films, people would usually expect something sweet and fluffy, idealized love stories filled with charm and beauty. However, "The Loved One" flips that idea on its head by presenting a more grounded and honest portrayal of relationships. This film strips away the typical romantic glamor to reveal a core truth: love alone does not guarantee a successful relationship.

At its heart, the story of Eric and Ellie is a familiar one, but its power lies in the way it is told. The story unfolds in a non-linear way, shifting between past memories and present realities. This approach allows viewers to see the complexity, depth and growth of their relationship over time, rather than a straightforward romantic arc. I’ve watched quite a few films by Irene Villamor, and generally, her movies really embrace the complexities and imperfections that define human relationships. This film carries on this theme, as Villamor captures the intimate moments that reveal both vulnerability and strength within the couples, portraying love as something that is both beautiful and challenging.

In my opinion, the film’s visual storytelling is particularly superb. Through subtle, quiet performances by Jericho Rosales and Anne Curtis, emotions are conveyed with remarkable depth without relying heavily on dialogue. Many scenes depend solely on visuals to portray the characters' inner struggles and emotions, creating an immersive and genuine experience.

Overall, "The Loved One" stands out not only because it is beautifully written, thoughtfully acted, and visually compelling, but also because it confronts the realities of love and relationships with honesty and sensitivity. It’s not your typical Valentine’s Day flick that makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. It's the film that offers a poignant and relatable experience that resonates long after the film ends.

Strong ideas and messages, weak execution.

"Like a Palette" is one of the books by Zezeho that I really enjoy, so I was looking forward to the series. But as much as the series is faithful to the book, the way it was brought to life is rather weak. At first glance, it seems like your typical student romance series with the senior-junior romance trope. But it delves into some ideas that set it apart - the self-discovery, self-acceptance, and the impact of societal prejudices, particularly transphobia. The series handles these sensitive topics with care, depicting the struggles in a respectful and impactful manner. Unlike many other GL series that shy away from explicitly naming the characters' sexual orientations, this series boldly embraces and celebrates lesbian identity. By doing so, the show normalizes and validates same-sex relationships, challenging the stigma and misconceptions surrounding LGBTQ+ individuals.

One of the refreshing aspects of this series is the portrayal of a supportive and loving family environment. The main character, Jane is surrounded by a circle of family members who offer unwavering support and encouragement. And the mom is definitely a positive character which is different from the typical moms we see in most GL series. And I like the jazzy OST.

While the series is commendable for tackling these important issues and the underlying positive messages, the execution falls short in some areas. The acting needed a lot more polish. Jane, portrayed by Thongfah Alicha, should be the star of the show, but Thongfah’s somewhat unnatural performance diminishes the impact of the character, hindering the emotional connection. Her dialogue delivery sounds weird too. Even Prigkhing’s good acting can't help much. But the rest of the cast deserve praise for making this series more bearable. And Prigkhing-Fah's on-screen chemistry is somewhat lacking, making Dai-Jane's dynamic less convincing.

On top of that, the pacing feels a bit choppy, with certain scenes and plot developments lacking coherence and smooth transitions. And while the cinematography is okay, the visual storytelling fails to give the key plot points the impact they deserve. There were quite a few times I wasn't only cringed at Jane's acting, but also the awkward camera angles.

Overall, Like A Palette has the potential to be an engaging series, but the execution and acting just don't meet the mark. While it may not be a flawless series, its bold approach to storytelling and commitment to addressing vital societal issues make it a noteworthy addition to the genre.

Hypnotic? Psychotic is more like it.

Out of many revenge series I watched in 2025, this one is the better one. It’s a series that delivers on all fronts with a great script, solid character development, and outstanding acting.

The script is great, providing viewers with well-developed characters and a storyline that keeps you hooked from start to finish. While some storylines may be a bit predictable, the cat-and-mouse game plot and tension buildup are expertly crafted, making each episode a thrilling watch. Beyond the revenge aspect, this series does not shy away from including important social issues into the plotlines. From mental health issue to school bullying, cyberbullying, abuse of power, bad parenting and sexual assault, the series sheds light on how these issues can impact one's upbringing and overall well-being.

One of the highlights of this series is the exceptional acting by the cast, particularly Nychaa Nuttanicha and Will Wannarot, who truly shine in their respective roles. But hands down to Vill for her portrayal of Kunnaree. She’s just pure psychotic. And the child actors are amazing too. Plus, the chemistry between the actors simply adds depth to the characters, making you either root for them or just hate their guts.

Under the skillful direction of Koo Ekkasit, this series boasts impressive production quality that shines on its own among other revenge dramas. The only downside for me is the lackluster male lead and how every guy in this series seems weak. The male lead is just a passive character. I can't even cheer for him. He's just a nice, pretty-faced guy that might seem like what the FL needs amidst the chaos, but he's pretty useless. Sure, he makes an effort to be helpful towards the end, but it seems too late. Plus, the action and fight scenes could definitely use some work to help heighten the suspense.

I would’ve rated it a 10 if the last two episodes hadn’t felt so rushed and if the ending had been more satisfying. Overall, Hypnotic is a well-made and well-acted revenge drama. Whether you're a fan of revenge dramas or simply enjoy a fantastic performance, this series is definitely worth adding to your watchlist.

An okay movie to kill some free time

It's a sport-themed high school GL. Although the film doesn't focus heavily on sports, the developing relationship between two players serves as an important subplot. As they navigate the challenges of sports, school, and personal struggles, their feelings for each other deepen, leading to tender moments and heartfelt confessions. The romance between the two players adds a layer of sweetness and vulnerability to the story.

This film addresses the critical issue of sexual harassment within women's sports, a topic that deserves significant attention. While this film manages to highlights the concern, it doesn't quite provide a tidy resolution to the issue. The absence of proper action against it might be a deliberate choice by the director, but it somehow leaves me with a sense of unease, as the characters' struggles with harassment are not fully resolved.

While this movie has good story, the character development is underwhelming. Although the main characters are likable and relatable, their growth throughout the film feels limited. Despite the intriguing premise and the potential for emotional depth, the movie's ending is predictable. Overall, it is a pleasant movie.

The kind of strong female character we rarely see in Thai drama

In many Thai dramas, female characters often fall into conventional roles such as the gentle heroine or the supportive figure. However, "The Evil Lawyer" breaks this mold by centering on a protagonist who is assertive and unafraid to wield power in a male-dominated environment. This drama challenges traditional stereotypes by presenting a woman who exudes strength, intelligence, and unapologetic self-assurance.

First of all, this series as a whole is pretty amazing. It’s an unpredictable legal thriller that explores moral complexities and doesn’t shy away from illustrating Thailand’s political landscape, while also addressing systemic corruption. The way each case is seamlessly woven into a larger storyline with a great pace really makes the series captivating. However, what really stands out for me is the portrayal of the female lead. I want to shine a light on Jittri, who brings a refreshing take on strong female characters in Thai dramas.

While Jittri's approaches and morale are more on the grey side, she's a woman with a bold attitude that can really get under your skin, yet somehow, you'll end up admiring her. Her confidence is not just a personality trait but a defining element of the story, influencing both her personal and professional interactions. It gives viewers a new take on female empowerment, featuring a woman who tackles obstacles with cleverness and grit. It mirrors changing societal views on gender roles in Thailand, emphasizing the need for more varied and authentic female characters in the media. Plus, Ying Rhatha Phongam's performance is nothing short of amazing. This series marks her return to a leading role since 2022, and she truly came back with a bang. She transformed a character that could have been unlikable into a stylish, and captivating anti-heroine worthy of admiration.

Overall, this drama is more than just a story; it is a cultural marker that signals change and the growing recognition of complex female characters in Thai television. It's something worth watching not only for the story, but for the performance and the underlying issues.

A solid story with outstanding performance by the A-listers

When it comes to female-centered drama series, Thailand might not have as many choices compared to other MDL countries. However, within this limited selection, "Hangout" stands out as a remarkable and refreshing example. This high-quality social drama delves into the lives of five high-society women, peeling back the layers of their seemingly flawless existences to reveal complex personal issues.

The story unfolds concisely through the perspective of Dujdao, the oldest among five women, guiding viewers through a world of privilege, secrets, and emotional intensity. The series features Thailand's top-tier actresses such as Pock Piyathida, Kwan Usamanee, Pancake Khemanit, Donut Manatsanun, and Chippy Sirin. Their impactful performances amplify the show's intense atmosphere, drawing the audience into the characters’ intertwined lives. Honestly, it's so satisfying to soak in their incredible acting. I’m not going to comment on the production quality because, to me, it's nearly flawless. There's a reason why Director 'Off' Pongpat Wachirabunjong is considered one of Thailand's legendary directors.

At first glance, "Hangout" might appear to follow the familiar formula of female-centric dramas like the well-known Korean series Sky Castle or The Penthouse, which often focus on rivalry, betrayal, and personal strife among women. However, what sets this series apart is its nuanced portrayal of female friendship and love, presenting these relationships in a more hopeful and positive light. While betrayal remains a pivotal theme, the core message emphasizes how friendship plays a big influence on characters’ reactions to hardship. My only issue is that 4 out of 5 women are dealing with similar marriage problems, just stemming from different underlying issues. If only the storylines dived a bit into their friendship during college, it would make the whole series more impactful.

Overall, "Hangout" offers an engaging and sophisticated exploration of female relationships within an elite social context, broadening the limited field of Thai female-centered dramas. Its balance of intense drama with a more uplifting view of women's friendship makes it a compelling watch and a noteworthy addition to the genre. It might seem like a series for the "aunties," but if you are one who appreciates a solid story with outstanding performance, this series is highly recommended.

More than just drinking.

At first glance, you might think the movie is just about drinking and the joviality that goes along with it. However, as the story unfolds, it reveals a much deeper exploration into human emotion and pain. "Sometimes it's easier to open up to a stranger because there is no judgment nor any relationship ruined." - This sentence is pretty much summing up the whole film. What transpires next is an emotional ride - laughter mixes with tears, joy intertwines with sorrow, and the line between happiness and pain blurs. It's like a subtle reminder of the power of shared experiences and how we, as society, often take empathy for granted.

One of the highlights of this film is its ensemble cast, which includes seasoned veterans and promising young talents. This diverse mix of actors brings a multitude of perspectives on life to the forefront, allowing viewers to see the world through different lenses. They really hold the film together, not just with their steady performances but also by adding spontaneity to their characters that look like they're not even acting. But with five main characters, each with their own storyline, the imbalance in the story arcs is pretty noticeable. Yet, it comes together nicely in the end. It's like a plain layer cake with different flavors, but the blend is surprisingly tasty.

While the film may not be perfect, it's those very flaws that make it so relatable. There’s no complex or highly choreographed cinematography, but it sets the mood and tone effectively and adds to the realism. By focusing on human narrative rather than visual storytelling, it effectively delivers a good punch and brings a profound realization in life. Those who are not religious might find this film a bit cringy or dull, but somehow the subtle injection of faith is simply mirrored Filipino society. My favorite moment is when Tere, the oldest of the bunch, shares her story. It struck a chord with me, and I ended up crying. And I cried hard. It's one of those rare moments in a fictional story where you see your own life reflected back at you, told in a way that makes you feel seen and understood.

Overall, "The Last BeerGin" is a film that knows how to create a "safe space" to experience the mix of feelings as the truths uncover. It's not just about the unexpected connection but also about being vulnerable and remembering one's own humanity and value.

Raw. Complex. Full of emotions.

A film centered on scamming is not new and the plot can be pretty similar. However, "The Red Line" brings more to the table than just the premise. This film takes a deep dive into the struggle of those who have fallen victim to scams, but it doesn't stop there. It’s layered with raw emotions - desperation, anger, frustration, stress, shame, hope and friendship - that will make you resonate with the three main characters and also ponder about life.

While the film focuses on the scheming to take down the scammers, it candidly explores the flaws within the system and the law - instead of putting extra effort to solve the issue, the victims are blamed for their mistakes and left to accept their fate, which compel these victims to fend for themselves and take matters into their own hands. “It’s not about the money – I want my life back.” - this critique adds a layer of complexity to the storyline, prompting viewers to reflect on the harsh realities of the world we live in. This makes this film not just about revenge or survival but also a social commentary on the systemic injustices that plague society. And everything is put together in a well-written script and delivered by a great performance by the entire cast. It's a smart move to have three characters from three social classes. Despite the contrasting personalities, the interactions between the characters are pretty solid and you can easily grasp their shared struggles and goal. In my opinion, this is Esther Supreeleela's most impressive performance to date, breaking her common 'lakorn nang'ek' persona. And Ning Chutima, being the youngest cast member, really stands out with her acting, fitting right in with the senior co-stars.

However, some subplots and characters (like Yui, the police officer and the driver uncle) are not well fleshed out, leaving the second half of the movie feeling a bit flat emotionally but ramping up with more action. But the steady pace as the plot unfolds helps conceal those flaws, keeping the focus on building tension and suspense throughout the film.

In addition to its good plot and strong acting, the film's production quality is impressive. The set and production design are meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the story. And I love how the wardrobe and makeup teams designed each character's look to mirror their personality and background, which adds to the film's realism and relatability.

In conclusion, "The Red Line" is a film not to be missed and definitely worth watching for the performance. It exceeds expectations by exploring the raw emotions and complexities of its characters while also delivering a thought-provoking critique on society's failings.

Love, escapism and addiction.

A romance film with a dark and artsy indie film tone might not be everyone's cup of tea, but this film is a win for me. This film centers around the character of Jane — a struggling actress, a strong woman on the outside, but beneath her facade lies a hidden pain and a reliance on alcohol as a coping mechanism. Despite the dull mood and tone rather than the typical sunny and cheerful romance formula, in my opinion, this film really delivers the emotions it intended quite effectively. Director Irene Villamor puts flaws, imperfections, problems, and struggles at the forefront—the real issues people are facing in real life and in a relationship. And the film does not glamorize or romanticize Jane's struggles, but instead presents them in a stark and unfiltered light.

The script is not super neat. There are a few loopholes and somewhat draggy plots, but despite that, I like that this film doesn't offer easy answers or tidy resolutions. The idea of "love is not always the answer" is on point. I love how Jane and Francis' relationship is not portrayed as a quick fix to Jane's issues. It shows the harsh reality of using alcohol as a crutch and the destructive impact it can have on a person's life and relationships. But despite the issues and heavy subject matter, the film also has moments of tenderness between Jane and Francis. Their dynamic is complex and layered, mirroring the struggles of real-life individuals grappling with similar issues. The visual storytelling aspect is also on point and I found myself drawn into its dark, but somehow hopeful world.

In my opinion, the strength of this film is definitely the performance. Bela Padilla really shines in her role. Her multi-dimensional portrayal of Jane, a character walking a tightrope between strength and vulnerability, is rather complex, but she delivers it perfectly. From moments of quiet introspection to explosive outbursts of emotion, Padilla infuses her performance with a raw authenticity that is both captivating and heart-wrenching. JC Santos's performance might not be as outstanding, but his presence still manages to bring layers to the story. Their undeniable chemistry never fails to make me swoon.

Overall, it may not be the most outstanding film of the JC-Bela tandem, but I consider it a poignant and thought-provoking film that delves into the dark and gritty realities of alcoholism and entertainment. It also serves as a reminder that sometimes, love is not enough to heal our wounds and that true healing begins with facing our demons and taking control of our own destiny.

Leveled up Panor, but with loose plots. Still a good watch regardless.

In this sequel, viewers are introduced to an older and fierce Panor. This time, Panor is set to start a new journey as a college student, with big dreams of becoming a teacher. However, fate has other plans, and she must deal with threats coming from all directions.

“Let’s see whose black magic is stronger, yours or mine?” This line basically sums up the core conflict of this film. While the idea is strong enough to drive the story, the story structure is somewhat loose and uneven, making it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the narrative. The battle of black magic somehow lacks intensity. Plus, certain characters are not fully fleshed out either, leaving gaps in their development. And while the plot twist is good, it doesn't quite pack the punch needed for a standout climax. Despite this, the film manages to maintain a sense of intrigue and suspense all the way through.

As this film shows a more mature and ruthless version of Panor, Cherprang's portrayal of Panor has also leveled up, showcasing more polished acting that adds depth and complexity to the role. It's amazing to witness how well she has embodied this infamous role, solidifying her place in the horror genre. Alongside her, Pimma delivers a commendable performance, despite being a relatively newcomer to the scene.

The trademark of the "Art of the Devil" films is of course its gruesome and brutal gore scenes. While this sequel certainly delivers on that front with some stomach-churning graphic scenes, I found some of gore to be predictable compared to its predecessors. Fans who are expecting the new level of shock value might find this sequel a bit disappointing. Still, the film is well-made with great direction, improved CGI, and fantastic makeup FX that really bring the world of black magic to life on the screen. Plus, it's simply satisfying to see how the bullies got bullied back.

In conclusion, "Panor 2" is a good sequel that continues to explore the dark and twisted world of its titular character. The upgraded version of Panor, combined with strong performances from the cast, elevates the film. While the loose storyline and toned-down gore may leave some viewers wanting more, the overall execution is still praiseworthy. Despite its flaws, this sequel is still good watch regardless. With a more focused narrative and deeper character development, the future installments could be even more captivating.

An extra point for production quality.

With all the buzz surrounding the GL series and the waves it's making, My Safe Zone might not be the most impressive or even a masterpiece that leaves fans and non-fans alike in awe. But as the debut series of LenaMiu, this series is pretty decent, with good visuals while also having some evident flaws in the scripts and story development.

Let’s start with the problem. The big issue with this series lies in its weak script and poor plot development. While the chemistry and acting are commendable, they can't really compensate for the shortcomings. The story structure is rather loose, with some of the conflicts not even having a satisfying resolution. Other than Alin, the absence of a solid backstory for Jane and the other characters makes them feel one-dimensional and kind of dull right from the start, which definitely doesn't help in fully engaging with the story. Another noticeable issue is the wardrobe department. The styling choices for the characters are sometimes questionable, with unflattering outfits that do not fit the situation. When it comes to their GL series, Ch3 seems to prefer the ‘unrealistic ideals’ over creating a comfortable and realistic look.

Now, the good stuff. LenaMiu clearly share great chemistry off-screen, which translates beautifully on-screen. Their romance, the friends-turned-lovers trope, is portrayed quite smoothly and convincingly, making their interactions feel natural and authentic. In terms of acting, Lena simply gives her best, bringing the emotion to her characters. Although it’s probably not her best performance to date, it’s still impressive to see her stepping up her acting game with this genre. Miu did a pretty good job too.

I can deal weak storylines, but I can't tolerate bad or lousy production values. And gladly, MSZ doesn't lack in this area. Khun Ou Patchanee's visual direction is good, with beautiful shots that capture the emotions of the characters. I don't have any issues with her visual compositions. I personally like the color grading, as it manages to add to the overall atmosphere of the series. As someone who's been watching Ch3 for ages, the visual storytelling of this series is somewhat better compared to other lakorn, in my opinion. So extra point for production quality.

And one of my pet peeves when watching a series is the use of the same transition shots (the day-to-night/night-to-day timelapse or night/day establishing shot). Ch3, you’re a broadcast channel for crying out loud and there’s no freakin' way you don't have stock footage. So I just assumed MSZ's editing team was just too lazy to find different shots.

In conclusion, My Safe Zone is a pretty decent GL series with its fair share of ups and downs. It has potential, but the weak script holds it back from being a standout series. While this LenaMiu's debut series may not be perfect, it shows promise for their future projects together. With some improvements in the script, along with better plotlines and editing, LenaMiu could really shine in their upcoming project.

An entertaining mystery-comedy, but could've been better

The Thai title “ฆาตกรรมจำไม่ได้” pretty much tell the whole idea of the series. The series follows the story of a group of friends and a woman who finds themselves in a peculiar situation to solve a murder mystery with the help of the spirit of her deceased best friend. It might not be an entirely new concept, but the series manages to seamlessly combine elements of comedy and investigation, creating an entertaining viewing experience.

One of the main highlights of this series is the balance between humor, mystery, a bit of drama and romance. The story unfolds at a nice pace without dragging on. I like its addition of supernatural elements. The presence of the spirit of the deceased best friend adds an intriguing layer to the plot. Plus, I love that alongside the laughs and suspense, the series emphasizes the value of friendship. However, the story slowly gets quite predictable toward the end and losing its suspense.

Every actor delivers remarkable performances, bringing their respective characters to life with authenticity and humor. From the quirky group of friends, the drug lord, to the playful spirit of the best friend, each character adds charm to the series, making it a fun watch. But with so many characters to focus on, a few of them end up feeling less significant and turn into just funny bits (well, I found Jock to be quite an annoying character rather than funny). I’ve seen nearly all of Engfa’s work so far, and she has shown she can definitely dive into the comedy genre.

Thai comedy often leans into slapstick and silly humor. While some moments manages to bring a good laugh, some just feel a bit over-the-top. Some of the jokes landed quite well, while quite many have missed. While it's entertaining, nothing really stands out from other Thai comedy I've seen before. The production quality is okay, with some scenes appear lazily executed. it doesn't quite deserve a better rating from me. But overall, with its blend of humor, mystery, and supernatural, this series is sure to keep you entertained from start to finish.
