Cursed to be an emotionless product placement soap opera
This is a soap, but it's a supernatural soap with reincarnation, super powered gay characters, and multiple types of angst that were all good foundations that should have made this drama better than it was, but the execution was so bland and such a waste of the interesting concepts. This started off decent enough, setting up the attraction between Siwat and Thara and Khunkao being drawn to Siwat. I liked that Thara and Khunkao are actually friendly with each other as team members and in the business of saving people in the current life even before they remember their past life. Somehow as the episodes went on, the show forgot to keep developing the relationships between the three of them with them being the core of the story and it just dragged on and on until the very sudden end. Their trek to find the mythical place as so anticlimactic, it felt like there's still a bigger story in a few episodes when it's the grand finale. The ending with Siwat turning to dust should be extremely emotional, but it feels like just another Wednesday. Where are the emotions? These are two guys that have been obsessed with Siwat/Suraya for mulitple lifetimes and that's all the emotions they can muster? The whole story side of the show feels like placeholders for the actual meat of it, which is product placement. They mostly make the random side characters do the selling, but it's horrible on the nose and boring every single time. There really isn't more emotional reaction to a whole man that appears out of nowhere named Peem that looks exactly like Siwat either?
