I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like this: it's a thriller, prophecy, love story, comedy. I didn't expect all of this in one drama. This is a mature story about mature people - this isn't about high school kids or university students. There's a serious and disturbing story in the first half of this drama, which is well handled.

I've never heard of the Naga, but now know that lots of cultures have similar folklore.

The action scenes are good and some appear more realistic than some scenes in 'real' action films. The slow burn and tension of the love story is exquisite. The comedy is sometimes a bit cringey, but sometimes really funny.

Only one thing was irritating: Tharn's woodenness. Initially, I thought it was Babe's acting but realised it was his character's fear and self-protection. He became less wooden as he relaxed and opened up.

That scene (you will know it when you get there) when they first stay in Babe's condo....phew...

What I liked: the acting - the pain and loss on Phaya's face was so well communicated. The distraught look on Tharn's face, and his behaviour as a result, was obvious and realistic.

What I didn't like: the female characters weren't great - apart from the grandmas, who I loved (particularly Phaya's as she pulled herself together to accept the revelations she was being told).
