This is a Good lakorn ..... Good acting ... Good chemistry ... Interesting story-line ... lots of angst ... believable…
The cast was great indeed! My first time seeing the main couple (although I feel like I've seen the female lead from somewhere) – both were gorgeous! Got any recommendations for more Chakrit dramas, Ru sunbae? :D I'd die to see more of this guy!

Anything similar and as good / intense as this drama in terms of acting and screenplay? I don't mind the…

Great arguments! I can’t see why it should be ok to promise an idealistic world to the audience, when portraying the opposite is a total no-no. The real world is complex, no one is 100% devil or saint – we have the potential for both.
This was my first lakorn too! I’m a sucker for tormented and flawed characters as well, so I too was totally thrilled to have come across something like this. Glad to find another person who felt the same way, as I was honestly..a bit conflicted about liking the theme so much, when so many others didn’t...
Ps. I just finished watching Sanaeha Sunya Kaen. So far this has been the closest to come to Sawan Biang for me, except that the male lead character was a lot more despicable than Kawee (the actor himself was extremely handsome though, and probably the most seductive male lead I’ve ever seen in a drama, lol).
I second Ru sunbae’s recommendations above, Neung Nai Sueng especially was a super enjoyable watch! I have to thank her for recommending it to me as well! heh
Can we just please try to evalute dramas for their entertainment value and not get into a heated debate over nothing?…
Exactly! Watching crime shows and enjoying them doesn't mean you approve of the crime either. As for Thai shows, I too wish we had more options with less violence, but at the same time I think these kind of shows bring us something that others don’t; they show us the darker parts of human nature; chaos, vulnerability, and what happens when you lose control.
Most dramas are wish-fulfilment fantasies. The characters are flat; you’re either the hero or the villain. Reality isn’t black and white. It’s a million grey areas. I’m not saying that Thai slap/kiss dramas are more realistic, just that they show us parts of human nature that we’d rather not acknowledge (or see play out).
Also, like you said, portraying intense emotions isn’t an easy task either. Imagine how awkward it must have been for the actors, but nevertheless they pulled through – and very convincingly at that. If anything, this was a display of fine acting. Hard not to be impressed!
My second Dome drama. Dome perfectly fits into bad boy characters. Even his outlook is a type where your mother…
Yeah, if one of the leads aren't deranged in some way, it can't be a proper lakorn.. hahha but personally i get way more scared of all the batshit crazy side characters! and you say this one has a psycho celeb gf? oh man..
A lot of people complained about this drama being "Just cops doing their job", and this is the reason…
Don't let negative comments scare you off. There's a lot of dramas that get bad reviews but deserve a ton of praise instead.
Also, you don't need anyone's approval of anything. If it sounds like your cup of tea, jump straight into it and you might find yourself enjoying it – even if the majority doesn't. What's important is what YOU like and not what someone else does. No one should call you out for liking the things you do or dictate what you should and shouldn't like.
