This has "badass" opening credits suggesting that basically all the characters in this are supposed to be badass fighters. None of the cast are types that look even remotely convincing in a fight scene, so the viewer must not take this so seriously:) As a parodical thing (they made jokes during most fights, so I went with it) it's not that bad.
There main couple here consists of Prin Suparat who looks funny when trying to look seriously badass (I think it was in 'Tawan Deard' where he best managed to not cross the thin line into getting ridiculous with the badass thing) and his regular onscreen/offscreen gf (they don't do a good onscreen kiss, though) Kimberley Anne Woltemas. Apart from them, we have 2 more.
The main villain is actually main girl's brother, who is a creepy guy on drugs.
Kom Faek's fighting style is very entertaining. Apart from it being actually funny at times, it mostly uses baton as a main weapon. It's a special baton of unique shape. It looks cool (just don't look on the poster, I don't know what's that there, but definitely not it:) The variety of things you can do with the baton seem endless. It also keeps the fight on the right level (not just fists, and not shooting each other to pieces, either) and out of stereotype.
Romance line is half-hearted, unconvincing and lukewarm - despite all the involved drama - for all 3 couples.
The main plot is about overthrowing the local mobster who is terrorizing people in small village and working with dirty cops cooperating with US army. Understandably I tried to absolutely ignore that and just concentrate on the individual fightings.
Though at times I had fun watching, I didn't really care whether Prin Suparat's character dies. And even if I cared I obviously didn't have to worry, as it seemed nobody is able to actually kill anyone, here. Had it not been like that, the main hero would not see the light of episode 2, and the same goes for the main villain, too (if nobody else, one of his not-so-loving lovers could take care of him while he slept). But things dragged and in the second half of the series, it all started to re-play itself.
By episode 9, my overall interest was gone. That time, someone started appearing there regularly turning into a smoke (as if this needed a supernatural element added) so I figured it was the best time to quit it... First, I dropped it, then I needed to rate it so I returned to watch the last 3 epis. And I ended up even lowering my rating.
