The Tipsy Mystery (2025)

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.
