First of all, as expected the actors did great with what they were given. It is not an acting skills issue nor was it ever going to be.

The fandom for the original is pretty big so I theorized previously that the producers thought it would be an easy money grab. In the end we all tuned in (or at least the fans of the previous series who watched) out of curiosity so they somehow got their wish, even if people dislike something, producers still make money by us tuning in.

This theory of it just being made for money felt confirmed to me by how aimless this series felt. They had no idea what they even wanted to do with this new series, just that they wanted to make it again. I did have the hope that we would be given SOMETHING new, something fresh or to add to the original universe in a way. Expand it, add to it...literally anything intriguing we haven't seen before.

There was no real point to this series, especially nothing new that the original series didn't already deliver - better at that. No new lessons, no real expansion to the overall series universe. So my conclusion remains..money. This series was made solely to make some money because it had no real other aim and nothing to say that hasn't already been said before by a piece of art.

Was it bad? Not necessarily. I think if you've never seen the original and aren't familiar with its concept this could be a fully entertaining show, albeit not mind blowing. It's produced well, looks like any other decently made Thai series and the acting is good. Overall it's average entertainment that I wouldn't necessarily talk anyone out of checking out if they have time to kill.

But if I were to recommend something with this concept, I will continue recommending the original because it is simply more intriguing in the writing, production and directing department.

I gave it a 6/10 on MDL

Again, I thought I’d be able to catch up with this show. But once again, my actual job that pays me actual money had all of my attention for most of the week, so I am once again playing catch-up.
