Good action and surprised ending for this crime drama, but the pace was draggy and repetitive.

The Embers is a police crime investigation drama based in Thailand about a younger brother who has PTSD about his brother's death. Through the deceased brother, he solved the case with the help of the police and his brother's fiancee.

There is a lot of action, but the pace is slow and draggy. Many small stories eventually link to the main story, some of which could easily be eliminated. I found it repetitive and draggy. I skipped and walked away to bypass the middle episodes. The last two episodes were more interesting, where the killer was his adopted mother.

No romance whatsoever if you are looking for romance.

Synopsis: A tragic massacre in their childhood completely changed the fate of the Liao brothers. Will they break through the darkness for self-redemption or descend into the abyss of vengeance? Once inseparable and solving countless mysterious cases, the two brothers now stand on opposite sides.
