Needed to be blessed from romance
The supernatural mystery mass murder case itself was a fascinating hook with it being interesting to see how inspector Singha investigates and reconciles the evidence and facts of the case in a way that would be acceptable in the eyes of the law as his investigation team is haunted by an aggressive ghost.
Pavel is the strongest actor of the bunch by leaps and bounds as Singha, but the actors who play Thup, Sey, and Darin are all incredibly miscast and out of place in this particular story. The romance plots are the worst pacing hog as none of the pairings have even an ounce of chemistry and made all the worst being played by actors with the weakest acting, completely lacking the range to handle to serious tone of the series. Thup is played is like a child in a grown man's body and sadly that's on the actor Pooh. He's unable to be versatile in portraying a character different than his previous role and can only portray a character that always acts cutesy and petulant. It is a shame, because the character has a lot of interesting potential in the hands of someone with more capable acting abilities. Sey and Darin being miserable ex's are also annoyingly childish and worst utterly uninteresting with neither of the actors being able to bring any charisma to the scenes. They are nowhere near nuanced enough to be a foil to Singha and King's actually interesting complicated fallout from being both professional partners and private situation ship, which organically would be the relationship that most makes sense to be explored by the story. 99 percent of the Sey and Darin screen time does nothing to further the story.
The investigation staff being targeted by the ghost would be a lot more engaging if the story spent more time building their importance as a team outside of just the soulless romances. It's also more interesting that that King also has a dueling motivations between wanting to please his corrupt father and wanting to be a legitimate investigator on his own merits alongside Singha. I hope to see Pavel in lead acting roles outside of the ones contractually mandated to play all his bl love interests.
