Dropped. Messy story and draggy but one of Taew's best acting.

I don't know why I keep trying to watch a Thai lakorn that involves crime or some sort of mystery that needs to be solved. They usually follow the same formula where the main characters are never capable of solving anything and the villains have to reveal themselves toward the end. GLT is just that. I ended up dropping after watching episode 17. This is basically a cycle of a bunch of long action scenes that take up almost an entire episode and the main characters accomplished nothing and there is little progression. About half of the action scenes are people shooting everything and none of the villains ever die or get hurt. The villains always end up getting away. If you enjoy that kind of drama that will drag things out longer than it should, then you'll enjoy this.

The best part of this drama is Taew's acting. I thought she did a really good job and this is one of her strongest performances. Mavin was also one of the characters that kept me going with this drama. He had an interesting story and was a more multidimensional character than the male lead. I wished we saw more of his rise to power and why his people are so loyal to him. I also enjoyed his relationship with his niece. I wished this drama had been around Mavin and Jen...
The sister relationship sorta lost its meaning as the drama progressed. That is a shame. Since I didn't finish, I have no idea how their relationship got resolved.
I enjoyed Chart and Singh as characters, and the relationship development between Ravee and Anya was surprisingly cute.
Everybody else was just meh to me. The villains were unconvincingly strong and they were all one-dimensional.

Overall, it could be entertaining but it was also frustrating to watch. I would have liked shorter action scenes and more development of characters and the plot. 5/10
