Game Rak Patihan (2024)

I really liked it!!

It's been a while since I watched a lakorn and enjoyed it this much. I can relate it to a Japanese drama (Aijin Tensei) which I started watching at the same time and coincidentally both have revenge and reincarnation/body swap centric theme. That one felt more serious and darker comparatively. This Thai drama fits the typical lakorn vibe and I felt more inclined towards this one and the reason is-inspite of all the angst and serious undertones this one isn't too dark that one might feel emotionally drained after watching a few episodes. Plus the way they showed all the body swap thing felt more believable unlike the other one that completely forced the body swap thing right away without us getting attached to any of the characters. Japanese dramas do have a way to throw everything right at your face from the get go and sometimes it becomes too much.
The first thing that caught my attention was acting. They are all really good. Obviously it has a beautiful cast plus a good production that will make you stick to it till the end. There are certain questionable parts that will make you think-is it even possible? was it even necessary? Or why would you even do that? But the simple explanation for that is-
It is a LAKORN so why not. Towards the middle it was draggy for sure and I watched it with 2x speed but then it got better towards the end. I just wished there was a better ending for the other couple but overall it was an enjoyable drama that I can definitely recommend to all the khleun chiwit fans. ( I don't know why I compared the two but it really reminded me of that show.)
