Praai Pikart (2019)

Epi 1: Why is it so hard to simply find enjoyable romantic series to watch? This lakorn has a synopsis that immediatelly puts me off, I'm not interested in any crime lines and in anything supernatural. It's always stupid and never helps any romance. In the first minutes, this spurres a load of action scenes on the viewers, before they can even start to care about ANY character in there (after 1hr and 25 min runtime, the police has a meeting which finally makes for an introduction of the characters that is missing at the beginning). The thirties daddy Off Chanapol is shown wearing either heavy makeup, or fisherman's hat. Other lead is Kitkong Khamkrith, who seems very stiff. Maybe he needs to be a police officer for his "acting" to work? I like Anyarin Terathananpat, but what of it, when I'm not interested in anything/anyone that surrounds her (here). But her '2016 Rissaya' is still not fully subtitled. I'm waiting for it so I'm watching this meanwhile...

Everyone who watched this praised the secondary couple. Just because they're not COMPLETELY boring as the lead one. It tries to flatter the feminists as she is proving herself to be "better crime boss" than her brother. Well, if he's a stupid person, then it's not that hard. Off Chanapol is not so young anymore but can do more than just one facial expression so he easily beats the male lead acting-wise, especially while portraying the character overflowing with various tricks. I admit that at times it's funny (about the only reason I did not DROP this lakorn in episode 1). Pitty he isn't more of a looker (like Cee Siwat in 'Lep Krut' - vaguely similar role) and she a better actress.

Apart from him I don't see anyone pulling their weight, so if Off Chanapol is the best actor here far and wide, it would be difficult for him to keep the whole series going (probably the reason why this is 12 episodes only).

Epi 2: Anyone can recognize Off Chanapol in his makeup and hat, so it's kinda silly. Also, he's not THAT young for most of the antics.

Epi 3: Getting bored.
