Art Pasut was always my type (not sure about the moustache). Pinky Savika was a pretty nang'ek 12 years ago... But that was 12 years ago. Just wonder whether her hair is naturally that curly. Before, she never had it that way on a camera...

This has 45 episodes and I was tired after 5, as I seriously care about the whole historical/reincarnation/mythology plot approx. number 2 on a scale of 100. I liked the main couple's dynamics. Their shared scenes were the only ones I enjoyed (there are also many scenes with the ex-girlfriend, then there's yet one more woman who has history with the main guy... there's a lot). So, it was like a fraction of the huuge screentime.

I didn't like watching the historical fantasy line, either. Somehow the costumes and hairstyles didn't flatter the people. Art Pasut looked like an antagonist. Fluke Jira looked like he's about to change sex. Pinky looked like 10 years older. Not to mention I found it stupid. So, after like 10 episodes I affirmed I can watch only Art & Pinky scenes, present timeline. Even there, we have 4 insanely powerful historical artefacts called "Naga Head" that look ridiculous like a child's toy (you can see it's really light like it's made of styrofoam, not heavy) and completely different than when it becomes "alive" by obvious computer imaginery. One might laugh about it, but not 45 times.

Art & Pinky scenes in the monstrose 45 episodes were very scarse, but also very cute. Apart from this, I don't want to watch this kind of genre at all anymore. When the idiotic ghost fighting started in episode 27, I had to skip even Art & Pinky scene. Aon Sarawut, entering middle age, was ridiculous mostly as "Frank" (mostly everyone pronounced it "Fang", of course), he overplayed in every scene. Another thing to skip. This was really a skipping fest. Definitely my last lakorn of such genre.
