The disappointing factor
Character connections were unnatural and unreasonable in the novel. The potential of the characters is undervalued, and their personalities aren’t strong enough to stand out in the plot. The romance plot was weak, necessitating a more detailed analysis. The drama became increasingly predictable as it neared its conclusion. The tale moved at a slow pace and needed to pick up.
In-depth analysis
The drama is a Thai genre that is unusual. The genres are mystery, thriller, and crime detective. Though her characterization should have been improved to make the audience appreciate the characters, the drama’s lead female position as an investigator is a highlight. Her portrayal of characters was more like that of a novel. The drama’s plot is highly exciting. Rather than protogonizing, it focuses on a narrative style.
Star power
Pathapee is played by Thanwa Suriyajak, and Wanruk is played by Tubtim Anyarin. Thanwa has come a long way since his earlier works and did an excellent job in the drama. Tubtim absorped to the drama’s emotions as well. Boss Chanakan plays Trichi’s support character. Other members of the supporting cast also contributed significantly.
Overall opinion
Lhong Klin Chan is a good mystery story overall. Until the very end, the storyline maintained a high level of tension. The investigation and progression of the crime were intriguing. The characters, on the other hand, were underdeveloped. The romance plot was ineffective. Regardless of its flaws, if you enjoy crime and detective drama, this is a must-see.
