Bad Brother (2017)

OK short filler series. Pretty basic.

To start out with, they aren't really brothers. They are brothers in the Thai Phi or P' meaning of the word. Said another way, they are friends. (P' Pun and P' Porsche) And there is plenty of bad to go around.

Like everyone says in the comments, the English Subs are not the best. I don't think these were official subtitles though. So you will have to deal with that a bit. Some things are literally lost in translation I think. I do appreciate someone taking the time to sub this as some series never get them.

The story was pretty basic, but straightforward. It was acted OK for young and presumably amateur or first-time actors. This story was all about falling in love, and love triangles, and broken hearts and not much beyond that. No filler in this series, it was right to the point. I thought it was funny that the boys were basically fighting over who was NOT going to date Fah. Maybe that wasn't the intent of the story, that is an alternative way at looking at things. There are a couple unexpected twists and turns, especially in the ending episode.

I liked it, but was glad it was only 5 episodes long, I don't think it would have been as good if it was stretched any longer than this. I would call this just average at best when comparing to more current series, but back in 2017 this probably was probably OK for its time. It isn't SOTUS which also came out that same year, but that was a pretty groundbreaking show in my opinion.

Like many of these minor short or low budget series, it is worth watching as a filler, or when you just want a quick distraction. You don't have 13 episodes that last an hour here. This is only a bit over a couple hours long if you skip the intros, so you aren't losing much if you don't enjoy it.

Watch out for the black car of death (they couldn't afford a white truck apparently) to make an appearance!
