Ok it's a remake, so I won't spoil it - here's the gist of it. The male lead is an anti hero, and one of the best anti-hero I've seen in Thai TV - you want to hate him but you can't. The female lead is the 'goody two shoes' you don't want to hate but end up getting irritated by her behavior. It's actually really well done.

Both leads are exceptional actors, and do a brilliant job. I could nitpick on a few issues (some plot points are vague at best and revealed a tad too late for the beginning to make much sense, the sound quality is oh-uhm for a show called 'voice'), but overall it's really good.

I've been reviewing for a good decade now, and I have been only disappointed by US series that adopt the 'lost' model, you know, where nothing happens but a new red herring is revealed to keep you going at the end of each episode.

Here, the series defies all Thai standards, and displays a bunch of flawed individuals instead of the usual good vs bad. Everyone is a bit of a POS, and it's really great to watch the outcome of all the mayhem. Stuff actually HAPPENS in each episode, believe it or not:)

Sure, it's not high art either, but Nopachai Chaiyanam (the cop) is absolutely brilliant in his role - he could have played the T1000 in T2 and pull it off. Cold as ice. Genuinely happy I discovered him in this show!

There's a saying in script writing that anything you write should be extraordinary. Your fav movies and series are all extraordinary plots - but this however is about nothing. Not in a Godo type way, no. In a "daughter smokes weed and son plays video games" kinda way. Those are the stakes: none. No one to hate , no one to like. No one. Boring endless Brolls are the only interruption of this snore fest.

How could they mess a script so bad was my only takeaway. Paint dying is more interesting. Acting in S1 can't salvage this fiasco of dialog - nothing could have to be fair. Save yourself 10 hours.
