Decent and ordinary

First of all, the other 2 reviews in here seem to be a bit delusional giving the series a 10 and calling it the best ever... not surprising that one was posted 2 days ago before ep 14 even aired, so, quite suspicious.

In any case, this is another low-budget show with relatively inexperienced actors and a crazy storyline that could have ended around ep 8 or maybe 10 instead of 14.
The whole plot was to find Wit's killer and help both Wit and Win souls to reach the afterlife... but no, in the end, both end up staying to "see the outside world". At least, that was ok... the chemistry between Boss and Peter (Tha and Kim) was not great but at least we had some nice moments between them. The chemistry between Sun and Net (Wit and Win) was much better but with the dark theme Wit had at the beginning, it got lost. The writers did try to exploit the chemistry towards the end so at least they realized that.

However, I think the series became a bit predictable after some episodes because the writers could not find many plot twists when the small cast is locked in a quarantined building for 14 days so they had to do two fake weddings, pool parties, Tha trying to kill himself twice, etc. But the most ridiculous thing was nobody being able to avoid a speeding SUV that took an eternity to reach the characters and then Wit and Win saving Tha by making the SUV go over Aunty Anne. Now, I know she was guilty of everything, no matter how much she tried to share the blame with Kaew, but it would have been better to bring her to the police rather than dying without much punishment for her crime.

BUT, by killing her, the writers leave the door wide open for season 2 because her soul seems to take over Kaew's body. But for what? To make Tha and Kim suffer? It makes no sense. Kaew also makes no sense in the last episode because she seems to accept Wit and Win being dead and she seems to move on from the past only for her to be crying in Aunty Anne's room with a picture of both of them and suddenly realizing that nobody loves her and being possessed by Anne's soul.

The story was somewhat original having a couple from the past being rejected by Thailand's culture back then and a couple in present-day Thailand being more openly accepted. The acting was decent at parts. But the writers went a bit crazy with the story and it ended up being decent but nothing worth watching again. We'll see what happens if there is season 2.
