The last remaining 'Parakit Rak' I didn't yet get to watch is Om & Sammie's (I didn't follow the watching order). Now, these two sure did spend enough onscreen time together to be able to portray a kiss not as horrible as the one shown in episode 1... Seeing this, and seeing Ko Vasin, didn't incline me well towards this part of the multi-lakorn. There is lot of annoying side-cast (like Tarn Kanya Rattanapetch) so it would be a miracle if this 'Parakit Rak' story should beat the ratings I have given the others (but, those were all below/average). It is of course packed with action and when we watch a lady abducted, a fist fight, and a bad guy dramatically drawing a knife at the main characters for the fifth time during the same episode, it starts feeling ridiculous.
I think I criticized the stupidity of the "military plot" enough in the past reviews.
This of course features human trafficking and underaged girls being sold to brothels across the border which looks like something that occurs every day in today's Thailand, as it is in EVERY thai ACTION-romance series. Of course it's then solved with such a naivety I sometimes wonder if the real mafia secretly ordered so many blatantly stupid tv shows made on this topic. Or if somebody is just taking a p*ss:)
Second epi kiss is not that bad but it's not much, either. We get to listen to the title song (some kind of annoying soldier "hymn") every episode again... I admire who took the tedious job to subtitle this. It's exhausting to even watch in full and I kept skipping through it. Each episode runs for an HOUR AND a half and that IS a strain. Of course it's in the script that the main girl needs to act like a ninny. When she thinks she'll help somebody lost in the forest, she of course needs to be rescued herself. She spends the night in the forest with her guy and still does manage to make quite complicated hairstyle in the morning which doesn't even flatter her. I occasionally smiled at things like these else I was bored. But when I mention hairstyles, the guy is supposed to be in the army, so it should mean short hair. Instead, he's got the front part so long it needs to be lifted and curled away from his forehead, while he's got it shaved practically to bald on the sides. I'll never understand the asian hairstylists who insist on deliberately making the simple, short guy's haircut into something complicated and unflattering.
Ugh... Dropped after episode 5. The show is filled with fillers. I didn't CARE for any of the plot or numerous side-cast. I didn't care for the main couple. Enough said.
