Y’all know the drill, negatives first which for me was FL. Whilst she wasn’t completely useless, she had knowledge and apparently knowledge is power. I just wish that physically, she wasn’t so weak and needing to be rescued every single time.
STORY
I had absolutely no idea what I was walking into when I started this but I knew there was Magic which I’m a huge fan of - clean not Black Magic. This is possibly the highest level of Power Struggle I have ever encountered, even more than Laila Thida Yak (last Action lakorn I watched).
ACTING/CAST
I wanted to watch this solely for the Action and I’m happy to say that I wasn’t disappointed. ML is one of the strongest I’ve seen in all the year I’ve been watching dramas in general with no signs of weakening as the story progressed so his definitely my favourite. I think together the characters worked really well and the actors made their characters their own.
MUSIC
I mostly remember the opening song since I heard sooo many times, even during the episode so it’s stuck in my head but there is one other song they played that I also enjoyed.
REWATCH VALUE
If you enjoy it as much as me I’d say yes, but if not then obviously not lol.
Whilst there is Romance here, this lakorn is almost pure Action so if you’re thinking of watching this for the romance you may be disappointed. The Romance is so little you may not even notice it but if you’re a fan of Action then this may be right up your street. As I pretty much enjoyed this all the way, I can’t say if this dragged or not so I’m not really qualified to comment on that. I do hope Thailand come out with more lakorns like this one.

Very excellent!
Overall, it is very great! I wasn't expecting much because nowadays Thai drama has been boring for me, but this drama really catches my interest.What I like most is the strong connection between the two main cast. It doesn't feel force, by watching it you can tell that the two actually just love each other and not because of their past lives. The drama has a good balance of having romance and the main problems/plot.
The two main character did a great job acting. But the acting in the past lives wasn't as good as the acting in the second lives. They both did great though!
The ending was great without too much rush. I like how they didn't leave a cliff hanger, and actually let us know how they both meets each other again. It was a great and satisfy ending. I wish there will be a season 2 or a special episode though.
The songs was great!
The plot wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I've seen worst, and this is probably one of the best Thai drama I have watched.

I am surprised
I have low expection for this lakorn because lakorn with action never amazed me. But I am surprised how much I love this lakorn.Reasons to watch:
1) Bank - His acting really surprise me. He is good at conveying his emotion. He is so cool when fighting but cute when he isnt in fighting mode. His fighting scenes are amazing
2) Chemistry between leads - The leads can feel the deep connection between them due to their past lives even from their first meeting. I usually hate instant love. But because of amazing chemistry, I can feel they are trying to let their affection grow because of themselves, not due to their past lives. Every cute scenes between them are heart fluttering
3) Good plot with mystery and supernatural - 18 episodes didnt feel long and dragging. The lakorn has many sides. It is not only a fight againt good guy and bad guy but there is also fight between the bad guys themselves. Thats probably why the lakorn isnt boring
4) Good action scenes - All fighting scenes are properly choreograph. I usually avoid lakorn with action but this lakorn has done amazing job. MVP for fighting scenes are Trai. Since guns are useless against him, he only fight using hand combat and sword. Trai has smooth movement and his entrance into fight is chef kiss
Annoying parts:
1) Annoying side characters - Some side characters cant even fight or have magic but still persistant to follow the adventure
2) Good guy only has 1 guy with magic - Trai needs to save practically everyone since he is the only one with magic among the good guys. Not that I am complaining because he is so cool when saving people. But it is still annoying to see the good guys are so weak without him. And there is inconsistency in Sirinda power. Fortunately she still can save herself in some situations

Cette critique peut contenir des spoilers
Done watching this lakorn. For me if u're not kind of patience person do not watch this lakorn cause the villain which is Sutha will death at the last which is in episode 18. But, if u're fans of action and fighting you will like this lakorn. This lakorn contain so much of killing, kidnapping, running, journey to the mountain, a lot of betrayal and all the chaos is caused by greediness in some of the character. You will feel quite headache cause there's so many characters end up betray their boss or partner. I wish FL which is Sirinda she will be quite strong person and know how to defend herself instead of need to save everytime by Trai or Niran. But i think this is the second best lakorn which is on their journey looking for the thing in the forest/mountain something after watching pachara montra. Cet avis était-il utile?
Similar to the Show “Big Brother.” The Prize: Katha Singh
Katha Singh! Where can I begin? Not going to lie, going into this lakorn, I was a bit scared because I’m not a huge fan of historical (AKA: Boran) lakorns. As this plot involves present and past life, I thought they’ll focus on storytelling both present and past life equally due to this being 18 episodes long. But boy I was wrong and I’m very thankful for that. So if you’re someone like me, and not a huge fan of historical aspect, then you’ll definitely enjoy this drama because the historical parts are less than five precent of the entire drama.Next comes the genre. This lakorn is a mixture of a whole lot of action (hella gun/sword fights, black magic, etc.) and a decent amount of romance and comedy. The storyline revolves around Katha Singh, a powerful historical wand that not only connects present and past, but brings our lovely leads together. Due to the Katha Singh’s greatest power, many different parties with greed for money and power becomes the hunters to be the sole owner (if you watched the show Big Brother, this drama is pretty much that). Allies switches up back and forth until you kinda get confused whose on which side lol. Anyways, which party do you think won the battle and became the owner of this magical wand? Let me give you a hint, it’s a battle between greed and love.
Personally to me, this drama was extremely strong from the beginning to the middle, but felt a little repetitive and draggy towards the end (very little romance from middle to end). Regardless, I cannot say it was boring to watch. From the first episode, you kind of get an idea of what the storyline is about, who the characters are instantly. Each and every episode was intense due to the good balance of high quality production, background music and OSTs, storyline, and the characters. I lost count of the times I watched those fight scenes over and over because those were intense and production was epic!
Now comes our characters. Let’s talk about the leads, Sirinda and Trai. I loved them together and I think they made such a cute couple. The chemistry was good. I feel like Sirinda’s character could be more stronger (if not physically, least mentally or with black magic). On the other hand, I have to give a big applause to Bank Arthit. Him in action is a GEM! That man can fight (just not me please lol), but I would definitely watch him fight all day long! Expressions wise, I think both of them do need improvements. The two side couples (along with the policemen) were cute and fun to watch. Going to the conclusion and ending with spoilers below.
Overall, this drama was a great watch. One thing I can say though, the ending felt a bit rushed and was questionable. There were plot holes and questions without answers. Like how did Sitha have that condition in the first place? That was never explained. The open ending was also confusing. Did they go forward in time? Like reincarnation to another life? Would everyone end up knowing each other? Like are Niran and Trai siblings? What about the evil people? Are they in that life time as well? Like many questions without answers. I kind of hope there’s a season two to conclude everything, but other than that, this was a great action drama and a fun watch.
Last but not least, thank you NekoMeowMeow for the English subtitles!

What I liked about this drama:
-Tons of action/constant flow of story
-Graphics kind of interesting
-ML was great
-Villains were evil enough to make me dislike them but weren’t totally despicable to where I wanted to rip out my hair and break my laptop screen out of frustration
-Perfect mix of romance, fantasy and drama
What I disliked about this drama:
-Draggy towards end... drama could have been shortened. 12 episodes would be enough, 13 episodes would be ideal and 14 would be more than enough
-Chemistry between ML and FL didn’t blow me away (although it wasn’t bad)
-Romance was the backdrop of the story but not the main focus and at times didn’t feel like a romance. No heart pounding eye covering moments.
Overall I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the drama. At first I kept skipping to watch because of the synopsis plus I’m not into dramas that involve present day characters meeting their past life selves as I find the storylines very typical and frustrating but this was done really well. As the drama progressed I feel like the acting and storyline got better. Minus the last few episodes I didn’t really feel the urge to skip whole chunks of episodes.
Although, the past live and karma focus in Thai dramas are typical I found the story quite fresh and enjoyed the approach of the characters. Really enjoyed the elements of magic and it wasn’t done in a silly or goofy manner which is a plus.
