WIthout Tape, as the character Sun, this ship would have sunk
Firstly, Tape is a star-- a bonafide leading man. Yes, he has a rugged beauty that's typical for certain Thai leading men, but it was his incredible charisma and strong acting, as the character Sun, that anchored a very rocky ship and held the series together. And a rocky ride it was-- periodically baffling editing and a core mystery that often spiraled out of hand and into the realm of a jumbled mess of misdirection.
Other PROS
• Sun's group of friends— lovable, loyal, capable fighters and always ready to lay their lives on the line for each other.
• The actor who portrayed Songphum, Sun's father, is a wonderful actor.
• Sun's sister;s were both adorable.
• The character of Jun Ho was a real pain in the ass, but he possessed hidden depths and the actor who portrayed him did a good job.
LUKEWARM
• The character of Peace. My feelings for that character remained lukewarm throughout the entire series. Other than him being conflicted and sad, as well as a caring person, nothing else really rose to the surface.
The CONS
• The vast majority of the baddies. Collectively, they had the emotional complexity of cardboard.
