The dub very disturb me

Not many people watch nor know this show. But I've watch season 1 & in my memory I quite like it, for mystery detective drama, this drama quite interest me. But in term of the story, I've completely forgot about this & not have any willingness to watch the season 1 first before jump watch this. Fortunately, the story is quite separated from season 1, only the important cast remain the same (ML & FL), so I or anyone can just jump to watch this, without need to watch the season 1 first.

This time, this drama joined between 2 country, Thailand and China. The story, Jin Ling (JL) has been working with police in Thailand for some time (don't know how long). This drama open with Tan Jing Tian (JT) also go to Thailand for student exchange & met up with his girlfriend, JL.

Arrived at Thai, JT welcome with a murder case and him as a suspect ^^. After investigation, of course JT proven to be innocent just wrong place and wrong time. And with that JT also get acquaintance with the Thai police. Of course at this foreign country, JT also help police with their investigation, especially when it comes to insect. And over time the police more and more trust JT, especially the captain, "Chai" Vorarit.

That's overall the story for this drama. Now let's discuss what I like & don't like.

What I like:
+ The relationship between JT & JL is just cute. They're really one traditional Asian couple. No kiss, hardly hold hand & absolutely no sleep together. I don't know this the decision of the director or the actor/ess themselves. And the funniest thing, Chai is like the third wheel in their relationship. Always disturb JT & JL, especially when comes to crucial moment, like when they're about to kiss. That's why sometimes JL just be jealous for JT & Chai relationship.
+ The world of insect really wide, deep & interesting. In here we get a brief explanation about many insect, that in my opinion, sometimes we can learn & can't take it lightly.
+ The earbud translation... Haha... You know the smart technology that can translate any language directly to your ear. Yeah, because JT & JL in Thai and they don't understand Thai, they use that earbud for most of the time to communicate with police Thai.
+ They use the Conan cursed but ward it off nicely... Haha.. You know Detective Conan. Yeah... JT like Conan, who always find case around him, so some people just mocking JT with that mockery.

What I don't like:
- The final case seem anticlimax. I can't really explained how or what I mean. That's just what I feel.
- Sometimes they're not too consistent with the language. Sometimes they like forget to wear the earbud but they're like understand the conversation between Thai & Chinese.
- The one thing that's really bothered me for the whole drama, that make me HAVE TO give this drama quite low score is... The over dubbing. OMG.... They already join production with several Thai actor, but sometimes when it's all only the Thai people speaking, they still dub it into Chinese. It just make me feel weird & quite confuse actually when it's only Thai people and there's no people from other country between them, they still dub it into Chinese. And when suddenly there're Thai or English voice it just make me weird as a whole.... Oh yeah they still sometimes use Thai not dub into Chinese.... If maybe they're just completely dub in Chinese with a few English it's gonna be a little bit better.... Why...? Why must spend extra budget for some voice actor to dub the Thai language instead just use their own voice with Chinese sub...? I know I know maybe it's due to censorship b*lllsh*t.

And you know what the most funny thing for me. It's only for me & I'm sorry if that's make whoever read this feel I'm homophobic or whatever. But I think I watch too many BL drama, that's make me feel or rather search for BL vibe... Haha... And several times I feel like they try to insert the BL vibe into the drama... Like the relationship between Chai & JT, or Chai & Ter.

But overall I really happy this series get the chance to get season 2....
