Started out entertaining but dumb and ended up just being dumb.
This wasn't anything like the Chinese original version but I was willing to forgive this version because it was so much fun. I liked that there was more humour and that the romance was less of a slow burn and was more sexy, though I missed the little animal drawings.But then in the last few episodes everything went wrong somehow: the writing and acting got so sloppy, it was like the police and the criminals were competing on who's less competent...
This could have been (and was for a while) a nice, lighthearted take. It's a pity that they didn't follow through and let their standard slip.

Fun watch
The drama shows different cases they solve and the main guy is looking for revenge. It’s pretty entertaining to watch them magically solve these cases.The romance is pretty funny because the girl is obviously a little slow to catch on. The brother and Mu are so cute and I waited for them to have screen time together.
This show is honestly a comedy and I don’t take it seriously. It’s been an easy to watch since the episodes are 40 minutes.
Overall, it’s not a terrible drama but the female lead can come off as unlikeable since she takes so many risks like she’s Superman 😭.

on of the best dramas I've watched this year (2023)
The FL and ML were well casted imo also everybody in this drama. The end or tge part where was revealed who Luker was, was kinda shocking. Loved this drama so much, more than the Chinese version. So sad that Mr. Han died, i really didn't want him to die but it is what it is. My fav case was the case where Vita's friend was found dead and the FL and ML had to act like couples. It was so funny especially when she flirted with that guy. (don't remember his name) At the end it was revealed that Luker is still alive. (currently Luker is suppose to be died) It was funny when the playboy's son flirted with tge FL's and ML's daughter haha.Was this review helpful to you?

It was a weird watch
It is indeed the Thai adaptation of the Chinese novel. They couldn't pick up the whole Myanmar concept so they had to change things a bit, understandable. The thing that made me the most delighted would be the development between the ML and the FL, which was highly missing in the Chinese one. But at the same time they destroyed it on the character issues. The cold high IQ low EQ FL was missing. The basic explanation of FL's proper conclusions are missing. It didn't feel like she was supposed to be a psychological expert, because she fell short there. I liked the male supporting role Sen but to be honest it was unneeded. It was easy to guess the main villain in the story but the so called easter egg at the end just made it worse for me. The only reason I am giving it a five star is because of the development of their relation.Was this review helpful to you?
I feel okay with the stroy...
Synopsis of story had cleared everything about the story . A brilliant mind can't hired in police department because she had failed her physical examination as she can't run much as well she was not good in defence. She tried to prove her many times but always messed the police work . Actually she interrupted the police work when they are on duty inorder to prove herself . Eventually after so much scolding from the police officer . She got the position what she always wanted and slowly she won the police officer's heart and then their love story had started. They solved many cases together . Police officer working on one secret case about this his head and the girl knew . While solving it ,he came to know something heart break truth . Something happened by the girl which had shaken the police officer completely which he was not able to forgot and the girl asked him to get separated . Then something was happened to her about which he knew and he reached to her inorder to save her and they again come together.As I watch Korean ,Chinese as well japanes drama so I found this story was indirectly similar to other stories so I didn't anything new .
Actually I like the love story which started from hatred or which has concept of Boss and his employee .
So I liked it.

Pretty good drama with lots of different emotions
This drama is actually pretty good, it's storyline is entertaining and very interesting. There is lots of action in the drama, lots of investigative scenes, but just as much romance, friendship, comedy and sorrow. Every scene has a thrilling effect that keeps you hooked until the very end. The cases are very well played out, and the investigation & action is very exciting. It's a definite must watch. Loved the acting of all the cast members and really enjoyed watching their amazing chemistry together being played out on screen. The music was very very nice too. Overall, It's a really interesting drama with lots of emotions and thrilling investigation that is really well played out, with just as much romance, friendships and sorrow. 🐌👮♀️🩸💗🔫👮🦁Was this review helpful to you?

A Snail Might Be More Interesting to Watch
I'll admit I went into this with high expectations. The Chinese version was the first Chinese drama I ever watched and I adore it so the stakes were high. As far as I'm concerned, the Thai version does not come close to it, not even remotely. Even with a longer run time, rather than a more fleshed out, better developed story, there's just a lot of nonsense that goes on and while it had promise, it doesn't live up to it and goes up in flames with an absurd and disappointing ending.What I was pleased with initially was that it was not a carbon copy of the Chinese version. It has a vaguely similar plot, but they ultimately made it their own so I wasn't able to guess what was going on exactly. The tone is also significantly different. The Chinese version played like a serious police drama whereas the Thai adaptation was far more humorous, especially towards the beginning. All of the characters had their comedic moments and Vita's cluelessness regarding romance was played up for laughs whereas it was a slow burn in the Chinese version. The romance in general was treated much differently with more of a focus on it in the Thai adaptation and the pair discovering their feelings and getting together while that was more on the backburner of the Chinese version though still present. But the plot did eventually become predictable and when the villains were revealed, I wasn't surprised at either one of them, having figured it out multiple episodes prior. It was honestly amusing because they seemed so proud of themselves like here's this huge reveal and I was just like, yeah, it was kind of obvious if you thought about it. Oh, well, kudos to them for trying. It really wasn't too bad until the last couple of episodes where the writing just really fell apart and it turned into a giant mess. It had potential up until that point.
The characters, for me, were just weaker versions of their Chinese counterparts. Bie was probably the closest and the one I liked the most because the man, for the most part, had a level head on his shoulders and got stuff done. At least until the end where his whole change of behaviour towards Vita, which despite the explanation, did not make sense to me because he'd been shown to be too level-headed up until that point. Vita did not come across as a genius to me. Taking a civilian along on a potentially dangerous mission screams stupidity. She lacked the reasoning to make her thought processes stick and actually seem like a genius and the fact that she kept putting herself into dangerous situations, not once, but repeatedly despite her lack of physical skills, again, just further spoke of her stupidity. She had moments of intelligence, but I would not call her a genius. I hated Ming's character. Her Chinese counterpart is an absolute badass in every sense and the Thai adaptation reduced her to a crying mess at the drop of a pin. She came in and I thought she was going to be amazing and then there was just nothing to her. She had no grit or guts to her and don't get me started on how unprofessional her wardrobe was for a supposedly elite police officer. I'm all for women wearing what they want, but the impracticality of it just irked me. Ta was cute, but again, I liked his Chinese counterpart better because there was just more to him. He was more forthcoming in his pursuit of Yao Meng than Ta was of Ming for one and he seemed more capable of acting as a second in command. In general, for a crack police team, I found them largely unprofessional.
Sen was just annoying. The fact he refused to get a clue that Vita wasn't interested made me dislike him even more. Also, what kind of police station allows civilians to just waltz in and out and about , just because of how rich they are? Mook and Wasu's romance was cute, but largely unnecessary aside from providing some cute and dramatic moments. Even their characters were largely superfluous, though I did enjoy some of the back and forth between Vita and Wasu. Badin and the police director were, quite frankly, weak villains. Both of their reasoning for what they did was, again, weak and there was a major lack of explanation for why two seemingly upstanding men would turn and commit such horrific acts. Loving your spouse is one thing, but the things they were doing were extreme. Also, the ending and the implication that Badin had once again cheated death was absolute bull. This is not a show that needs a second season.
The acting was okay, but nothing spectacular. The only one who really stood out to me in any way was Poppy because he has such good comedic timing and he made it work here. Otherwise, the rest of the cast was hit or miss with some good scenes and some bad scenes. I definitely felt the acting was less than stellar in those last couple of episodes. I wonder if the cast could feel how bad the script was too.
The Thai adaptation was not the worst thing to watch, but having seen the Chinese version which is so crisp and clean and to the point, it made the wandering plot here much more obvious. The characters of the Chinese version are also just more refined, exposing the weakness of the Thai characters. And while I did enjoy the comedic take here from time to time, I think I prefer the more clinical approach the Chinese version took. It was fun to watch the one time, I can appreciate the greater focus on the romance for one, but I'm afraid it's the Chinese version that I'll keep going back to and watching again and again.

A funnier and more romantic version of the 2016 drama of the same name.
I watched this one first and liked it on the first go. As I was about to rewatch it, I discovered the 2016 drama, which is was watched for the first time, before rewatching this one. Both dramas have their appeal. Where the 2016 drama has more depth and sticks to the crime tone more, this one is more sillier and funny. The ML is both are very attractive, however, even that didn't much endear me to the 2016 drama, as it lacked romance. They dropped the ball on that one.This 2023 version picked up that ball and gave us better romance, even balancing other genres well. This version clearly has a higher rewatch value for me. (Already seen it twice) Sometimes this silliness is just what we need in life to make us laugh. I liked certain aspects of this story better, especially the part about the FL being the one to loose a friend to murder. It just added more to her character.

A thrilling and emotional take on police work
I really enjoyed this show. I find the Thai shows especially interesting as I am introduced to parts of their culture and new subject story lines. The leads were interesting to watch as their relationship developed and the police team showed a supportive group working together. I would definitely included this on my must watch list plus I am gonna watch the earlier Chinese version. I would recommend this based on I didn’t have to fast forward any long drawn out boring scenes !Was this review helpful to you?
Good remake, to watch only for the CL and for fun.
Great remake with the Thai style, with Bie & Baitoei Zuvapit as CL.PLOT: Difficult integration of the FL, a profiler but physically weak, within an elite unit led by the ML. The team must put an end to the activities of criminal groups linked to drug traffic, organs traffic, children traffic, prostitution, etc. Little by little, a romance develops between ML & FL.
+++ an excellent CL with Bie & Baitoei Zuvapit, both perfect in their roles.
+++ Dynamic production, with a good balance between romance/investigation/fight.
+++ Nice ending with a pretty funny easter egg
However:
### It's a comedy, tinged with investigation/thriller!!
- Impossible to take seriously these "elite police officers" who are so unprofessional.
- The FL, a weak fighter, will constantly investigate alone?
- ML2, because he is rich, has permission to come and go in the special police unit??
- the villains never dies ???
In short, a bunch of inconsistencies (or a poorly written story) that ultimately gives a poor image of Thai society and its police...
=> So watch it only for the CL and for fun.
****************************************************************
Great remake à la sauce thaï, avec Bie & Baitoei Zuvapit as CL.
PLOT: Intégration difficile de la FL, profileuse mais faible physiquement, au sein d'une unité d'élite dirigée par le ML. La team doit mettre fin aux activités de groupes criminels liés au trafic de drogue, d'organes, d'enfants, de prostitution, etc. Peu à peu, une romance s'installe entre ML & FL.
+++ un excellent CL avec Bie & Baitoei Zuvapit , tous les 2 parfaits dans leur rôle.
+++ Réalisation dynamique, avec un bon équilibre romance/investigation/ fight.
+++ Final sympa avec easter egg assez drôle
Cependant :
### C'est une comédie, teintée d'investigation/thriller !!
- Impossible de prendre au sérieux ces "policiers d'élite" si peu professionnels.
- La FL, combattante faiblarde, va sans cesse enquêter seule ?
- Le ML2 , parce qu'il est riche, a l'autorisation d'aller et venir dans l'unité de police spéciale ??
Bref, un tas d'incohérences (ou une story mal écrite) qui finalement donne une piètre image de la société thaï et de sa police...
=> Donc à voir uniquement pour le CL et pour le fun.
