The Sixth Sense (2012)

5 Girls with Sixth Sense

Based on the novel "The Sixth Sense Seu Rak Sampat Huajai" the drama is based on 5 girls who each have 5 different forms of "Sixth sense". They obtained this gift because a divine monk decided to distribute his good karma between 5 pregnant women who happened to be the mother of the 5 girls.

Focused mainly on the girls and their encounters with either ghosts that need their murders solved, or evil sorcerers who forcefully hold ghosts captive and make them do evil things in order to obtain money — the drama is wrapped around a cloth of comedy in order to keep the tone light and entertaining.

From the beginning, the drama was cut out to have a sequel, and I believe it did a good job at closing just enough doors while leaving others slightly open in order to create a path for the second season.

The first season mainly focused on 3 of the 5 girls, "Ros", "Net", and "Nin" who each had their own supernatural "cases" to solve as well as their own love-lines with their MLs "Trais", "Vardh", and "Tinh". This was a clever way to give the remaining two girls' their spotlight in the second season.

I enjoyed the lighthearted story-telling of the drama, despite there being sad moments. I also enjoyed the sisterhood between the five girls, and how Nert's brother was like an older brother to all of them. I also enjoyed Ros and Trais' relationship since it was full of playful banter and teasing.

One of the things that I did not like was that each male lead had to have an ex-girlfriend or a girl after him. Seeing one maybe would have been better, but seeing all three girls facing crazy second female leads was annyoing as hell. In addition to that, It felt like 20 something episodes were too much to just solve three cases. At one point it began to feel really stretched out like things could have been solved at a much quicker pace in my opinion.

Overall, it was an entertaining watch.
8/10

a supernatural drama with hysterical girls

The story is very good but really? They possessed abylities to see, hear, smell ghosts and with a touch one of them can see the past.

Well, the one who sees ghosts, since the childhood, was supposed to endure when she see them. but no, she is always frightening, screaming, crying... so annoyng. The others scream a lot, act like stuborn childs almost of the time, except for the one who can left her body. Don't remember their names, because are all too complicated. Even the auntie is an hysterical woman. I've a headache when i just saw the series.
The guys where ok, and the romance is also the same in every asian drama.
The goldengirl (the ghost kid) is amazing, funny and such a good litle actress. The same to the Trinita's grandpa.
It's a pitty that in asian dramas the girls act always act like they are 15 or less and take all the time screaming, not talking.
But it was funny to watch, but very far from the western series from the same genre.
