Usually I don't like supernatural element or Margie Rasri, but I bore with both rather well in this lakorn. Usually James Ma is more my type (his 1st role in Suparburoot Jutathep, he was the only "prince", that was actually charming) but I found Alex Rendell really hot in this, so I cared for the second couple more.
Also the 1st couple does not have very likeable plot, which is also featuring old Johnny Anfone - who now looks hideous while his acting skills have NOT improved - so it's more or less skippable.
Nevertheless, it all comes quite quickly to a conclusion and the 9th episode already feels like the final episode and it could be, if not for yet another unnecessary twist.
Troughout the series, there keeps to be loads of action, in compare to that the romance is relatively scarce. When the romance comes to more focus, it gets too mushy. Quickly we go back to the action thriller but as for the romance, it is not kept as thrilling (and that's what I like, thrilling romance:)) Watching all the fighting among some using magic, cgi smoke, invisible ghosts, etc. doesn't do it for me. Supernatural is not my cup of... well, anything. Also the crime lords didn't really interest me. I was more interested in side-people like Non Thanalop Pridamanoch's character. Pitty his actor never got many roles.
The series has distinct visual stylization, especially the colors. There are many sophisticated interiors. The music tries to add to the atmosphere too, but it's a random mixture that sounds like it's borrowed from many sources here and there.
The supernatual cr*p is the usual mix, as well. The leads can read each other's minds, but only when it's convenient for the script. As usual, the least pragmatic person works as a doctor, the least observant person as journalist, etc., etc. After Margie Rasri's character uses the same way of "healing" on everyone, we expect her to use it on the guy she loves, too. But suddenly she changes it for a kiss that is supposed to conquer all magic. Romantic, huh? Well, the kiss is fake. And there was not even need to push that not-kiss onto the audience at that moment... This is the way it goes on with everything. By the last 2 episodes, it all dragged till no one cares anymore. The lenghty finale (well, all the episodes are lenghty) is just tiring, as this is truly average in all storytelling, conclusion or moral.
