Anyway, good
Overall, the drama was pleasant enough and quite enjoyable, except for the sheer nonsense of the last two episodes, which in my opinion completely ruined an otherwise relatively good plot. Given that it's very difficult to make quality crime dramas (see, for example, the mess made with Dare You to Death), I particularly appreciated the script, the special effects, the ghost makeup, the religious and spiritual references, and the character of Atikun, which I thought was very well-crafted. For this reason alone, I'd give it an overall 7. I have a lot to say about the investigation, as well as the structuring of the couples. Given that I'm a very practical and realistic person, I found some parts of the investigation decidedly implausible and unlikely, and I really couldn't ignore the fact that Thup was taken literally everywhere. I understand it was necessary for the plot, but it's something I found truly absurd and senseless. In addition to the various plot holes, I repeat, things in the last few episodes were rushed too much without adequate time jumps and I didn't like that at all. As for the couples, I admit I didn't particularly enjoy them, nor was I particularly moved. Contrary to popular opinion, I think the actors playing Thup and Singha have no chemistry whatsoever, and I couldn't really relate to them on a romantic level. Thup's character was extremely boring in my opinion: static, impersonal, passive, and rather bland; paired with Singha, all fire, recklessness, and determination, he didn't really spark anything. Moreover, their interactions truly bordered on the banal and saccharine: corny, meaningless, without any kind of development. The second couple was even worse. Truly insignificant. But let's move on to what I can truly consider the best discovery I've made in recent months: the actor who plays King. That guy is truly talented, he undoubtedly has a lot to improve on, but if he keeps going like this, he truly has what it takes to embark on a first-rate career. I really enjoyed the psychological characterization of his character, the fact that he was torn between the desire to please his father and the will to do what was right, and I truly appreciated the evolution he went through throughout the series. I also found him very mature and conscientious in his desire to distance himself from Singha, well aware of the feelings he still inevitably harbored for him, and I must say I couldn't help but be very pleased with this choice. Overall, it wasn't bad, although I personally would have developed it in a completely different way, probably keeping the investigation partially, if not entirely, unchanged, but radically altering the couples and relationship dynamics. First of all, away with the sentimentality, more mature conversations, free of stereotypical banalities, moments of tension and fracture. This is what makes stories interesting. But I realize I was partly wrong too; fundamentally, I appreciate more mature BL shows, and this show, on the other hand, is aimed primarily at a teenage audience. Still, not bad.Was this review helpful to you?
