The actor playing the villain is outstanding in his role. FL WILL really test your patience in the early episodes, but she does come around. Adored the story arc of the Panom Naka family with the mom, nurse and little bro.
Fight scenes are incredible. Love the CGI for the payanaks. Their crowns are a really nice touch. If you are afraid of snakes like I am, they were mostly in ep1, maybe ep2 too. They looked fake enough for me to get through those eps.
There are some really beautiful scenes that if there was an award for most beautiful scenes in a Thai drama, this drama should get a nomination.
As mentioned, the story and characters do have their flaws that regrettably took away from how amazing this drama could have been with more well thought out writing. Often times, you're probably going to be thinking to yourself why a character is this or that. Or why something is happening the way it is. After a while, I learned to let go and accept that things are the way they are for the convenience of the story lol. Understandable if some people drop the story because of it. But for me, it wasn't annoying enough for me to drop this and there were enough good parts for me to stay for the ride. And believe me, I've dropped plenty of dramas even with 1-2 eps left to finish.

Good story but the music not that much
this is a good show and good story too, tho some episodes are boring but that doesn't affect the whole show. cgi is kinda funny to me but awesome at the same time, I like those scenes where the brothers are fighting in their naga form, and ofc it's not a lakorn if there's no annoying characters, especially if it's the FL or the 2ML lol. kinda sad that they killed one of my fave characters tho, whyyyyyyyy ðŸ˜. overall, it's worth it w. the 19 hours of watching. PS. I still can't take the sad scenes seriously bc of the darn background music, my brain automatically dances or sing christmas song lmao.Was this review helpful to you?

Faith and love in naga world make everything possible for lovers!!!
This story of the naga legend is totally something new and different as the interspecies romance subject and has not the steretype of conventional thailand dramas of violence with slap and kiss that almost all lakorns are known to be like that.I watched this show because I watched once "krachao seeda" for the female lead and she was better back then but did not succeed too much in this drama in my opinion.
Too much fantasy but not bad at all, the battle of two nagas with magical red and blue colors had stolen the show in few episodes was super well excecuted, this is something unpreceneted in thailand lakorns that I did like it a lot and how they excelled to add the fantasy elements of superpower that the two main naga brother had and how they transform from human being to a giant big flying snakes was super exciting and amazing in addition how the naga's masters control the mind and movements of people and hearing the prayers of everybody was greatly done as half human/half snake creatures.
If talking about the acting Asia was average and should give more feelings for every scene she was acting, otherwise Anantachai the master of naga legend is the most excellent one that he should take the main title of the drama based on his convincing performance as he was so adequately playing his gaze full of love and care for Asia, he is the loyal and the one sacrifying his life for the sake of Anachalee his first and only love that he was waiting for her in every new life to recognize his love and to accept him besides her as he was affraid she would reject him cause Asia is rational and didn't believe in naga existence, he is always ready to help and save her from all dangers surrounding her at any moment.
Anekchat is the devil and abominable other second master of naga legend who is doing all he can from the old era to the present time all over thousand years just to separate the lovers from each other, he did so many crimes as he is the selfish for the acquisition of Asia to compete against his brother Anantachai to steal his love of life and to be the naga king, was a great choice of actor.
Sowanee the servent of Anekchat complied with him for the purpose of winning Anantachai her unrequited love, Asia was her rival and she was wronged by being so neglected by Anantachai but she really deserved this at the first but I didn't like the fact they made her disappear once Anekchat take over all her naga's power cause she saved her only love from the lash of Anekchat, though Anantachai healed her wounds but wasn't enough to survive from the hands of culprit.
The other cast in support characters from the villains who helped Anekchat to complete his evil plans to the doctors and sick childrens were wonderfully added
What I didn't like at all why they made the assistants/servents of nagas disappear as they sacrifice just for the sake of their masters and they put them a spacegoat while Asia was in many dangerous situations and Nuput the friend of Asia was super annoying that he could be less affected by Asia and just the loyal friend to help her not more than that as he is always standing between Asia and Anantachai, not bad as he is in kove triangle but he overcared about Asia knowing she willnot be for him at all!!!
The end is satisfying for me as when thinking that Anantachai will not be reborn as human to eliminate the curse of Asia, as he was cinsidered comitting a sin when getting rid of his rival brother but was a great surprise how the love and faith of Asia revive him for another chance to live together for him being a human not a naga cause he suffered so badly not being able to face Asia at the beginning for his identity as he is not a human but he succeed at the end to make her loving him back as he saved her countless times.
Flaws talking: the show could have been shorter by more episodes because it was boring in some places and I skipped so many times in episodes 17 and 18, at the other hand the romance was added in so unnecessary scenes regarding the male lead is "obviously mad in love with his ever one and only female lead is very understood for all watchers" so it made the show more longer than needed and I wonder how they consider at MDL the show is for all ages but I highly recommend this show as it is a new unprecented idea and hope to see something worthy like this drama.
If Asia couldn't eliminate her curse in order to make Anantachai be reborn as human not naga creature and she didn't end up with Anantachai I would have rated this less than 8 as they make to the final moment thinking it is impossible for Anantachai to be reincarnate as human being but the faith and love of Asia and all the naga people make him reappear as a decent human being!!!!

The best forbidden love story
I couldn't stop myself from binge watching it and i finished it for 2 days!If you are looking for jaw-dropping plot, let me tell you how good this drama is. As you know, this is fantasy romance but you cannot expect more on its FX . I just really love how they develop the characters like how they met, the struggles, when they start to fall for each other and i thought it would be hard for me to understand because it is about superstition belief but they manage to deliver it. The story is not cringe at all.
Talking about the acting and chemistry, they are really good and i cried to this! I love how the male lead acting when he was hurt whenever he got into fight, It was really convincing that he was in hurt. The female lead show her love and cry especially for latest episode.
There are many scenes that made me unforgettable like HOW BEAUTIFUL THEIR KISS BCS I CAN FEEL THE LOVE. Many of the scenes are near the nature so its really mesmerizing to see all of that.
Please wait no more, watch this on Netflix right now!
