BE CAREFULL THERE ARE SPOILERS HERE!!

IVE FINALLY MADE IT. I've watched this series after basically delaying it for YEARS. (If u wonder why is just that I've heard only good thing and I didn't want to get disappointed, if it was bad, or set my expectation too high if it was good). But it was worth the wait, and I'm honestly glad I've watched when I was more mature and able to understand better this world, cause it was a very intresting and honestly good series. I've enjoyed every minute of it, it left me speechless in some part and made me feel like a genius in other.


So, imma start with a short synopsis: after a guy, called Bun come back to his hometown a series of death start happening in the town, and since he is a doctor he has to conduct the autopsies. While everybody firmly believes that it was a suicide, Bun is fully convinced that there is something behind and decide to start investigating, helped by this mysterious guy called Tan (a colleague and friend of one of the victim, and a very suspicious person indeed, at least at the beginning).
From here on they descover a sick world made by human trafficking, prostitution (of even m1nors) and a very dark and twisted system that involves some of the most powerful people of the city.

Now, I am an absolute sucker for investigations, Thriller and everything that involves some kind of mysteries, so u can understand how exited I was watching this series after just the first ep. And honestly call me nostradamus cause I was able to get a couple of person whom I found very suspicious actually being involved.
Even if I understood them it's still very true that the show is PACKED with plot Twist, discoveries, new suspicious people at literally every new episode. U just never get to rest in this huh? And it's good cause one of the main problems in Thai bl is their slow pacing while this show was able to keep me entertained for the entirety of the runtime. And this is honestly the show (among those with more mature theme) that was able to balance romance and action the best. As much as I have loved other shows, they either focus too much of the action or, way worst, on the romance. This series was able to find a good balance that I quite enjoyed tbf.

If I gotta say one thing that didn't make sense to me was... what happened to Natty? And to Nam?? It was kind of s plot hole... I mean, why would they have syringes punctures? It made sense with Jane and the way she died but the other??? Was just to show they assumed drugs I guess?? Idk, it was never confirmed and we will live with the doubt.

After finishing the series I was honestly so angry with like half of the character in the show. The absolute ability of this show to make me hate almost everybody was buffering. I especially hated Rung (Jane's sister) and Gun (the second police man) + the police officer I completely forgot the name of, glad he is in prison. At least I can say that the character were complex, not just one faced, and they were very human, in a lot of thing they did, even in their mistakes. There were not only "morally white/morally black character" like some series love to write. All of them made at least one mistake that made u think "he is human"... some were just pure assholes tho.

And the series was full of small details that just made it all 100% better. Like when the inspector before killing Gun says to him that he chose to follow the wrong people (the same words Gun told him before attempting to killing him).. or, my personal favoruite of the entire series, when Rung was talking about how Pued "killed" Jane she explained everything she did, everything she said and just pretended that this was a convo between Jane and Pued. And it makes so much sense cause a lot of time killer projects into other the murder they made and it was honest so impactful. Even Pued last word "you know Jane loved you so much" in the confession Rung pretended that she was the one who told them to Pued instead... so good.

The main couple was great. I felt the chemistry and I understood what made them fall in love with each other (which is not something u can tell about s lot of series). I think Bun was a little too forgiving at times tho. Your man basically handcuffed you to the staircase so that u could escape from the house for TWO FULL DAYS and not even a "fck you" or being s little angry? OK.. or even at the proposal like damn I would kill tan if he proposed to me this way. However they were cute, so I'll let it pass

Acting wise the series was OK. Some actor really had it in them. Some had some amazing microespression that just made everything more believable. Jane's actor deserve the mvp, cause filming your death scene three times is not joke. Max and Tul were OK. My main problem was that every single time the camera panned to Tul he resembled so much Bright (don't ask me why idk) that I just kept seeing Bright and kept getting distracted. But he was way better than Bright in terms of acting (even if they both overuse the smirk a little too much).
And honestly, when the writers are able to give u a good script for your character your job is way easier, and I gotta be honest, this series had some of the best script I've seen in a long time. Things felt natural for once.

The direction also killed it. It's true, there weren't that many imagoneries in the show but the couple that were present were absolutely gorgeous (I'm talking about the cliff above the lake where Bun pretended to die or the view of the mountains at the very end of the last episode. Great job of playing it all on the green (intelligent use of the place u were in)


As for the music i really liked it. And u know why? Cause it wasnt even there. Like fcking finally, honestly. Like I'm so tired of watching a series, getting very investe in a romantic scene and right when they are about to kiss a random Thai man start singing in my ears, volume +3000 comparred to the series (i seriously get scared every single time) and it completely take away the momentum. Also, call me horny if u want, but when a kiss scene roll around id rather ear them kiss than just hearing random song roll around. And I'm so glad that this series was made with some thought into it. Also, I love the opening: simple, straight to the point (plus the pictures of all the character were very hot)


SO... if u are someone who likes those typa series, with a mystery to solve, morally ambiguous characters and a good romance this show it's absolutely for you. It will make u doubt of everyone while still getting so attached to the main character

Ps. I thanked at every episode whoever chose to put great in such a tight police uniform. We thank u for your hard work.
