It's bad... Not terribly bad but bad nonetheless.
Right from the beginning the direction pulled me off and then, it only continued.
There is absolutely no continuity in this series and a lot of errors that could have been easily rectified if the filming crew was paying attention to what they were doing. I have two examples in mind.
The first one is when Sun goes down the mountain alone. He decides to go back up for a reason that he is not even doing at the end and then, goes back down but... the road he's walking on is climbing and Arthit comes from the opposite direction from where Sun is, which is totally illogical if they both are going down the mountain. They should walk in the same direction. Also, I have to add that when Sun is halfway to the hotel when he is first descending, it is totally dark outside, but when he goes up, the sky is lighter than before.
The second example is when Sun begs Arthit to free him from the handcuffs and Arthit accepts. But the next scene shows them walking side by side, with the handcuffs locked on their wrists. So what happened between those two scenes?...
And there are so many errors like these throughout the series that I sometimes wondered if they didn't lose any footage and tried to deal with what they had left.
We also lack information about important things. Like the fact that Sun's dad has scammed an old man for 10 million bahts but we don't know if the old man realised he has been scammed and what happened next. We also have a flashback of Sun and Arthit when they were young (and Arthit remembers who is Sun) but we don't know if Sun remembers who is Arthit. And why is Ashing's dad sending Sun take back the money when he knew that was Sun's dad that owed money to Arthit's dad? Unless, Sun's dad was owing money to both Arthit's and Ashing's dads? I'm so confused...
Last but not least, the pacing of the series is awful and badly done. There is absolutely no progression whatsoever between the two leads throughout the whole series and, all of a sudden, at the end, Sun wants to stay with Arthit (when he wanted to escape the last 5 episodes) and Arthit accepts with a smile and a tear in his eye. Since when did they develop such a relationship? Is this again a case of missing footage that I was mentionning earlier? This is ridiculous. So I couldn't care less about these characters and their relationship because we didn't see anything interesting between them.
To conclude, I would say that the plot could have been interesting if it were correctly written and directed. I even thought at one point that maybe it was because 6 episodes were too short to develop such a story but the problem wasn't it: the main problem is the filming crew... The same filming crew with a 12-episode series would have been the same or even worse because our suffering would have lasted longer.
