Petch Tud Petch (2016)

The beginning of this drama was like bam bam bam bam! Action, action, action! One after another. I was wondering where the plot was for a while. They fight every episode every 15ish minutes or something. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little but that's how it felt for me. Things start to slow down toward the end when the conflict becomes more central and characters spend more time in conversation.

Chart is a smart, calculated character. I like him. He likes to use his brain and plan things out so that he gets things done properly. Pailu on the other hand was a pain to watch. Her character is sassy and bold but the one thing annoying about her is she's selfish and thinks she's the shit. She acts on emotions and have ruined Chart's plans over and over again. I found her attitude intolerable after a while. Like when people tell you to not do something risky, how about don't do it? Your confidence doesn't reflect the shit situation you end up in when you fail. You just end up exposing yourself and Chart to dangerous situations.

Yod was a complex character. I sometimes liked him but at other times, I was like, dude wake up, you are living a delusion. He was so angry and on edge all the time and I just wanted to sit him down in a spa, hand him a cup of tea and tell him to relax. Yod and Chart's bromance was probably the best thing about this drama. I loved their interactions. They're always at each other's throats but they won't kill each other. Their relationship development had the most progression, in my opinion.

The story itself was pretty good. I enjoyed the mixture of action, romance, drama, and comedy. I thought the plot was set up in a good way as well. There was flow and progression. Things were slightly predictable but it wasn't so bad that it ruined the fun. The two main characters had to build their feelings and it didn't look forced. I liked that about it.

Overall, I think this was a good drama. Definitely give it a watch if you've got some free time on your hands.
