Disappointing.
Disclaimer: This is all my opinion, if anyone here enjoyed the drama, you do you. Let me do me.
1. Why Tik? Out of all the actors available, why him? He's passed his prime. Visually, verbally, and physically, he's passed his prime. When I watched the episodes, I didn't feel the energy of a King. He lacks assertiveness. His acting was stiff and lack emotion. He looks like he read the script and repeated the dialogues. He didn't become Rangsiymun, he's impersonating Rangsiymun. He's not making the character into his own, he's just portraying it. You get me? I don't think he's fit for the role. He literally looks like a Dad attempting to be some badass guy.....and it doesn't look good. The chemistry between Tik and Kimberly is almost non-existent. To each their own but to me, I didn't see it. They look like a mismatched pair.
2. The clothing choice is over the top. It looks like clothes you'd see on a theater set. I wonder if they spent all the money on costumes and had nothing left for the CGI.
3. CGI. It's so bad it's comedic. I don't mind bad CGI when I know it's only a small part of the whole story, but this drama relies so much on CGI for the locations and surroundings that I find it insulting the CGI was so awful. It's beyond me. How can this drama be from 20019-2020 and have the same (or similar) level of CGI as the 2008 version?
I don't think I have anything good to say about this remake. It just feels so flat for me.
Overall, in my opinion, this remake is disappointing. Pass.
