I didn't expect the series to be that good. There were quite some things I didn't like, but all in all really good. The only other action/thriller Thai drama I know is KinnPorsche, but this one is more mafia, illegal stuff and very sex-centered. Too much comedy to be an action series for me tbh. This one is more on the legal side (cops and medics), also has sex scenes but way less explicit than KP and also less comedy. It has slow and romantic scenes on the other hand, where I got a bit bored from time to time, since I was in an action mood. But the psychological thriller moments in the 2nd half were so unexpectant that they made up for the rest of my hopes/expectations! I'm in awe with the production, post-production (ie, color grading) and intense acting too. The crying, wow! Also especially Tin's teen actor did a phenomenal job, holy! It's just so rare to have that kind of depth for a GL, so I'm mind-blown in a lot of ways. The budget was definitely high for this! The side GL couple was also really sweet. No hetero romance except for established and failing relationships. And a semi/doomed bL. This one was quite interesting, actually! I went from hoping for it to be a BL addition to accepting that it was probably better for the other character that he wasn't further involved with the other person. Although a deeper relationship would've been really interesting, too. But alright. Definitely recommended. Sets the bar high for GLs. I hope to see more lesbian thrillers!
