Surprisingly Well Crafted, Better Than Jessica Jones
I know GMMTV usually does romance/BL dramas, but they can also amazingly adapt thriller novels, especially this one.
The story is for sure a must-see, but what really makes this series shine is its production quality, which ACTUALLY SHOWS the gripping and believable story.
Every single detail from the actors’ chemistry with each other to the flow of each scene makes the whole experience seamless. There were no spare moments like you usually see in other Thai dramas where you’re just waiting for the character to finish reacting. I’m always like “I get it, he’s thinking really hard about the problem”. But with The Gifted, everyone’s reaction is there for a reason, and the scene never felt longer than it should. This, coupled with the extraordinary turn of events, pulls you into its world and the characters within it.
These characters are very well written with personally identifiable struggles. You may not see each of them develop far in the series (since it’s only 12 episodes and there are multiple mains), but you will definitely see the layers in their personality.
To be honest, this series is definitely better than the last season of Jessica Jones lol. Netflix should really get into this. They already have SOTUS on there; this would be such an amazing addition.
I’m a harsh critic but I was extremely impressed with The Gifted. I’m so glad they’re doing another season in 2020. Can’t wait.
