Similar to the Show “Big Brother.” The Prize: Katha Singh
Katha Singh! Where can I begin? Not going to lie, going into this lakorn, I was a bit scared because I’m not a huge fan of historical (AKA: Boran) lakorns. As this plot involves present and past life, I thought they’ll focus on storytelling both present and past life equally due to this being 18 episodes long. But boy I was wrong and I’m very thankful for that. So if you’re someone like me, and not a huge fan of historical aspect, then you’ll definitely enjoy this drama because the historical parts are less than five precent of the entire drama.
Next comes the genre. This lakorn is a mixture of a whole lot of action (hella gun/sword fights, black magic, etc.) and a decent amount of romance and comedy. The storyline revolves around Katha Singh, a powerful historical wand that not only connects present and past, but brings our lovely leads together. Due to the Katha Singh’s greatest power, many different parties with greed for money and power becomes the hunters to be the sole owner (if you watched the show Big Brother, this drama is pretty much that). Allies switches up back and forth until you kinda get confused whose on which side lol. Anyways, which party do you think won the battle and became the owner of this magical wand? Let me give you a hint, it’s a battle between greed and love.
Personally to me, this drama was extremely strong from the beginning to the middle, but felt a little repetitive and draggy towards the end (very little romance from middle to end). Regardless, I cannot say it was boring to watch. From the first episode, you kind of get an idea of what the storyline is about, who the characters are instantly. Each and every episode was intense due to the good balance of high quality production, background music and OSTs, storyline, and the characters. I lost count of the times I watched those fight scenes over and over because those were intense and production was epic!
Now comes our characters. Let’s talk about the leads, Sirinda and Trai. I loved them together and I think they made such a cute couple. The chemistry was good. I feel like Sirinda’s character could be more stronger (if not physically, least mentally or with black magic). On the other hand, I have to give a big applause to Bank Arthit. Him in action is a GEM! That man can fight (just not me please lol), but I would definitely watch him fight all day long! Expressions wise, I think both of them do need improvements. The two side couples (along with the policemen) were cute and fun to watch. Going to the conclusion and ending with spoilers below.
Overall, this drama was a great watch. One thing I can say though, the ending felt a bit rushed and was questionable. There were plot holes and questions without answers. Like how did Sitha have that condition in the first place? That was never explained. The open ending was also confusing. Did they go forward in time? Like reincarnation to another life? Would everyone end up knowing each other? Like are Niran and Trai siblings? What about the evil people? Are they in that life time as well? Like many questions without answers. I kind of hope there’s a season two to conclude everything, but other than that, this was a great action drama and a fun watch.
