Bangkok Breaking

One of the first Thai series I watched really enjoyed it, can't wait for the second season Really worth a watch, But in Thai with English subtitles.........

Very enjoyable indeed with an absorbing storyline, great action, strong lead acting and readable subtitles. Wanchai (Sukollawat Kanarot) and Kat (Sushar Manaying) portray likeable and sympathetic characters with rounded personalities. The themes are topical and boldly-dealt with. It is a piece of Thai TV which will endure. It helps if you are used to Thai film and TV, but this deserves to appeal to people new to Thai international cinema/TV. Hard not to binge watch and definitely NOT a 'naam now' soap. We really liked it - good fun, good humour, well-produced, well-directed and a massive credit to cast, writers and crew. On the 'watch again' list.

Better than expected

Props to the writers, They really hit the nail on the head with the corruption topic in Thailand. Always looking forward to shows that have balls to talk about something that deems inappropriate in Thai media. Though I have to say that the romantic part feel a little out of place for me, not to mention that the two leads have zero chemistry with each other. Still other characters conflict made up for what's lacking.

The story was entertaining through episode 3, although not especially original. Appreciated the way they addressed pervasive corruption and the public's acceptance of it. Some very unnecessary brutality. Most of the characters seemed like real people. The acting was very good. However, after investing the time to watch 3 episodes, the subtitles were missing in large measure throughout episode 4, making it impossible to follow the story as closely. I didn't downgrade the score for that, but maybe I should have. Anyway, I quit during episode 4. If you're not a native speaker, might as well not bother getting started.

Confusing first episode, draggy, dramatic, predictable. But it did give me some thrills.
