Lep Krut (2018)

The first three or four episodes were AMAZING! Great action choreography and cinematography! Cee Siwat was adorable and handsome af in here! However, it got really boring and draggy by the middle till the end. I was disappointed that there weren't many Kom/Cheep + Morakot scenes! Sure, there were some super cute parts here and there, but I feel like the supporting characters had WAY too much scenes (which were super freakin' annoying!). The storyline was ok, but it definitely lost my interest after a while. They tried to put in some little comedy here and there, which was cute, but I didn't like it how they made it 'unrealistic' with the 'hypnosis' and 'technology' stuff. Other than that, I do recommend ya to watch it, because out of all the Thai Lakorns action choreography I've ever seen, this one had the BEST ones! Beware though! There's hella unnecessary explosives and shit though. LOL! :D

Dark. Trashy.

Note Watcharabul doesn't look handsome anymore, LOL. Cee Siwat was always a cutie but got a bit slimy in his thirties (the oldfashioned hair gel adds to it, too). I always liked Praew Chermawee in the past but here Yui Chiranan became my favorite. Very cute fighting/flirting sequence with Cee Siwat right in episode 1:) It's been long since 'Le Femme Nikita' that I watched stuff like this, LOL.

Talking about years back... Music here sounds REALLY dated. The villains use some kind of mind control... There is some kind of a cult wearing masks... It's all so b-grade. So, the spicy character interactions are what makes watching this bearable (yeah, it gets quite unwatchable at times) because despite them all having smartphones, this seriously doesn't seem like something from 2018.

Action is present in every episode. For me, to care about an action scene, I need to care about the people in it. Both couples here engage in action scenes, but while Yui Chiranan's heroine is a woman who can take care about herself well, Praew Chermawee's character is a stupid "reporter" who is only a burden and needs to be rescued each time.

Everyone here has a double identity or a triple agenda and most of the screentime is filled with the endless dealings of all the numerous groups involved, while I cared only for a few people. After first 5 episodes it all started to drag despite constant fight scenes. My only fun in the monstrose 18x90 minutes runtime were OCCASIONAL Yui & Cee scenes, some inserted comedy (little of it, but funny) and some action scenes so over-the-top they were funny, too. I seriously could not care less for any of the plot. First Yui & Cee kiss is episode 11. I waited long;)

The first use of the mind on control on the character I cared about was end of episode 15.

Rewatch value: Yui & Cee scene in episode 1.
