Sad Power (2024)

Cute power!!

If you are looking for a simple, fun and engaging story with good actors and great messaging, this is it. Every power that the cast receives is well explained and well done. The show tugs at your heartstrings almost all the time and you just cannot get enough!

Thua is such a lovable boy, you genuinely want to protect him at all costs. His story with the sweet yet fierce Kam is organic and very adorable. Yai Cheuy shows the greatest extent of the power of a mother and how love can heal the world. Goonggink does a phenomenal job as Phakbung in showing the emotions attached to being cheated, feeling abandoned and managing teenage pregnancies. And Typhoon, he has my heart!! Typhoon is the sweetest little child and he deserves all the love!!

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the series. Watched the show for Yin but quickly fell in love with the rest of the cast and kept watching because of the story!

Thai style comedy that gives hope for people.

This is another great production by snap25. I consider this lakorn to be a large-scale production, judging from the veteran actors in the cast and the use of many large-scale scenes, such as the bus crash scene. I haven't watched lakorn for a long time, but I came back to watch this one because Yin is in it. And when I watched it, I felt nostalgia for lakorns I used to watch when I was a child.

All the actors I used to see in lakorns when I was a kid are in this. I got to see people I hadn't seen for a very long time again. The big names are probably the actress who plays Grandma and the actor who plays Gaem's father. All the guest actors are big names as well. The drama feels complete and realistic. I like Thua's house and the other houses; they don't look like just sets but like real, lived-in houses. They feel very realistic.

The story's concept cleverly twists the common theme of vulnerable people, such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly, who require consideration on Thai buses, into heroes with superpowers.

The content seems fantastical, but it's executed realistically. Watching it, many vulnerable groups facing problems should feel a sense of hope. The presentation style is Thai-style comedy, as the goal is to create hope and alleviate suffering from problems, which it does well. There are many hilarious scenes that had me lol.

Yin's acting is excellent; he portrays a charming character. Those who like underdog stories will surely love Yin. His character is full of encouragement, brave, and never gives up. Kate, who plays Gaem, is perfect for the role and has great chemistry with Yin. Grandma also has excellent chemistry with Yin and is a character that gives a lot of hope to older people.

As for Gungging, she plays a character with many scenes with Thua, to the point that if this were a series, I'd start to think she might end up with Yin instead of Gaem, haha. Lastly, Typhoon is a very charming child with both a cute face and adds color to the story. All the elements in the story are so good that I want a sequel.
