It streched like molten cheese and was ended in a heartbeat...
Hmmm... I'm not a fan of LUAT with the misrepresentation of gay live 400 years ago in Thailand. Here they handled it much better, but on the other hand LUAT tried very hard to use time-accurate speech while this series did not invest in that. The storyline is convuluted, there is much going on, but there are episodes where nothing much is happening which makes the series dull and boring.
The servant couple is just an afterthought and I guess the comic relief, but thai comedy does not really work for me. And then we have a finale where it felt like they cut two episodes out of the series because they run out of money or time. They wasted so much time on trivial things or the Kings wife and Sriprach storyline. But in the end, we don't know what happens to the bad noble. We only see a flashback to "Dech" in his time, some stupid bantering in the "now" and the final scene is suggestive he does remember. That's it.
Lengs and August together do not really work. Even when it's their first job together, it seems both did not "click" and so the chemistry is lackluster. Some scenes are really akward. Besides that, production quality was high and the rest of the cast was good, but when the main couples does not work, the series does not work.
While LUAT was not good, this was even worse and I was surprised it could end up like that. The problem with the series is not that it's so bad, it's just soooo boring. At least for me, it made it hard to watch at all and that's the reason why I'm late with my review, because I had no motivation at all to watch this. So, when you don't want to waste your time, watch something else.
