Lah Tah Chon (2020)

Great action

If you're looking for the human rights theme... you might be disappointed, tbvh. They basically have nice nice speach here and there but the theme is lost in their actions.
But, you're looking for an action lakorn than this is amazing! Well, at least the first part, personally I think it would've been an amazing 10-12 eps, after it basically dragged, but it was still watchable.
But ahhh, the initial fights... I loved so much! The best I've seen so far!
I also LOVE the ost, the main song kind~a became my fight song, one that you listen to and get powered up to go and do whatever you need!
The romance wasn't big deal, maybe it wasn't really necessary, but worked for me to not get tired of so much bad things, fighting and killing, so it wasn't bad.
Overall, worth checking.

a boy manga + a girl manga (with humans)

not to be taken seriously... it's so unrealistic that you wouldnt fool a kindergartener. the ML kicks left and right and puts down the police, the bad guys, the secret organizations... all in-between some cheesy moments with the FL. everything is black and white: the good cops are too good - and handsome, the bad guys are just so bad - and scary looking.
feel safe to fast-forward, nothing to lose abt actors' facial expressions or something, everything is just so basic! if you're a fan of martial arts and guns, dont miss the action scenes, there are plenty. the ML looks good with his shirt on and even better without it.
chewing-gum movie, no stress for the brain. i'm still not sure if i can pull myself through more episodes - and i only watched 3.

Es Kantapong still has it. I watched his previous main roles under Oliver Bever, this is like third in a row. Obviously he knows if he wants someone who'd look convincing as both action hero & romantic lead, he can cast Es and he won't make a mistake. Who is not convincing though, is bratty "Boss" Chanakan and his team, whom I would not believe he could help the main hero's case for a second. And I'm seriously getting annoyed with these naive storylines that "fight corruption" in more stupid way than love stories occur in romantic telenovelas. I know extreme naivety is like Bever trademark, but I'm tired with thai television producing more and more stupid corruption dramas, like they would like to somehow justify what is occuring in real Thailand. Making such a stupid shows about it is probably helping the mafia even more:// What's worse, this is not as trashy as Oliver Bever's previous work so you cannot even laugh watching it. I watched 1 episode which had a length of a movie and I think this time I had enough, nothing compels me to watch 17 of them.
