Not a cult hit

There is a promising premise beneath the desperately unfunny over the top humor tone to everything with how despite initially joining the cult undercover with clear intention knowing it's a grift, Phu still falls for the charlatan cult leader's snake oil that appeals to his ego and he even takes over the cult in the end along with Ploy who also thought they could have an ethical cult. There is also an undercurrent of the cult being a satirical take on the Idol and fan system and relationship, especially in the second iteration, not unlike GMMTV's Idol events. The overall execution however is a big, long, dragged out dud despite only being 4 episodes. Nani is the lone bright spot in the entire show. He's got an inherently serious vibe that when he has to portray the over the top tone as officer Wutkrai that delusionally believes he has magic skills, there's actually a grounding balance that makes him funny. I think the show would have worked much better if the rest of the characters was cast the same way, with the most serious feeling actors, preferably with gravitas and screen presence. Phu's storyline definitely should have been given to an actor that has stronger acting abilities.
