You'll excuse me if I won't spend another 1080 minutes on this
In context of lakorns, having one fantasy themed is a MINUS that burdens it from the start. As it's extremely tricky to make without the result come off as ridiculous, even for far more developed filmmakers than they are in Thailand. Also - for me personally - it's boring.
I was prepared to quickly skip-through this one or drop it as soon as I read the synopsis. Of course single episode runtime is twice longer than bearable... There is Jub Jib to lighten it a bit but that's just a momentary alleviation.
Basically, nang'ek gets mysterious visits by a strange clothed dude who enters through her bedroom mirror. At first he appears there to help her not get murdered, later he keeps appearing everytime she gets asleep by a table and needs to be carried to the bed gently. When she finds herself hanging off a cliff outside the house, he has no problem momentarily appear there (far from that mirror) as well. Apparently he's from a strange world formed by cheap CGI purple flower meadows, huge golden trees, mountains and waterfalls, where he's got nothing else to do than to watch our nang'ek like she's on a telly, or smth. Every single time he fancies it, he can go and join her story. One day he drags her through the mirror to see his country, too. She now sees he's really from a different realm (where they speak thai) and obviously kinda morally superior, despite being portrayed by Sean Jindachot with his bohemian looks of a heavy smoker. Therefore, nang'ek obviously forgets the hot cop pursuing not only her grandmother's death case, and sets her sights on him firmly. Shall I continue?
That's what I asked myself. Should I continue watching? Because that's like episode 2 out of 15. It already feels I've seen enough. I skimmed through episode 3 and felt just ZERO interest in it... all. Had she at least go for the copper (love their uniform in Thailand) it might be bearable. At least he's got Jub Jib accompanying him frequently. But everytime we switch in the "beautiful" realm with the waterfalls which Sean Jindachot is always standing next to (as he apparently doesn't need a roof over his head) trying to make his face all serious, or any of the side characters, I get reminded that time is precious. You'll excuse me if I won't spend another 1080 minutes on this:)
