Interesting and Strong start, but draggy and boring second half.
Subjective Gut Rating; 7.25
This is my 3rd completed drama of the Dhevaprom series after “Dujupsorn” (8.25) and “Kwanruetai” (8.25). I like the first two for different reasons and had quite an enjoyable time despite two VERY annoying mothers. I tried “Laorchan”, but dropped it because I didn’t like the lead couple and didn’t like Gulf’s acting. I haven’t given up on the Dhevaprom series yet, so I continued on with this one, “Dhevaprom: Jaipisut”.
Unfortunately, it did not live up to the two that I liked. It was fine in the first half of the drama and my main complaint was Tate’s acting. He’s very green in the industry, so I am willing to tolerate his emotionless acting and hope that he will get better as the drama goes on. Well, it didn't quite happen. He’s a very good-looking guy, but he lacks presence and charisma, especially when he’s a police officer.
The plot wasn’t bad in the early episodes. I enjoy the kids and the school shenanigans. The leads’ romance develops nicely as well. They are cute together with decent chemistry, and the flirting is not as cringey as I anticipated. The love square is tolerable and I actually find the secondary couple romance interesting. This is one of the rare dramas that I actually like 2ML more than ML, not because of looks, but because 2ML is just better-written and better-acted. He’s just a good guy! The first half was a good 7.75-8.0 for me.
Well, then the pace starts to slow down for me. The drug cartels, gambling, police investigation and the annoying/sabotaging mother plotlines move slowly and repetitively. Even the romance lost its sparks, and Tate’s acting has not improved. I was watching at 1.25x speed for most of the second half and I was dragging my feet to finish the drama. Is it horrible? Not necessarily. I just totally lost my interest. 17 episodes is way too much for this drama. It could have been condensed to 12-14 episodes. Jaipisut is the longest of the Dhevaprom series.
Unless you really like the leads, I would not recommend this drama. Go watch “Dujupsorn” and the very handsome and talented Kongthap instead. Or watch “Kwanruetai” for a different location set in the village and a cute Mikey as the ML (he’s also a newbie but acts way better than Tate). The only good thing about “Jaipisut” is a less annoying and hateful mother, and pretty good acting from Oom (FL), Lingling (2FL) and Job (2ML).
