The Feel-Good Part

The story’s general plot is ingenious. Long Khong had the to be – righteous revenge – in this play, which has both terror and intelligence. The “good people” race against time to unearth Praewa’s background, as Praewa seeks vengeance, while also trying to figure out who cursed her. The plot of revenge is intriguing. The twists and linkages between events are presented appealingly. There are a few storyline twists that will leave you speechless. All of the elements of black magic were frightening, strange, and sensible in the appropriate way. Even the background music is spot on and adds to the enjoyment of the viewing experience.

The Disappointing Factor

The plot was predictable at times. The story was rushed at the end, resulting in too many surprises and twists one after the other. The characterization could have been more detailed, and somethings appear amiss at times. At times, the horror effects fall short of expectations.

In-depth Analysis

The plot revolves around demons and sorcery. It depicts the supernatural theory of the three-eyed god cult. The theme defines typical jealousy and envy. The sets and effects work well with the storyline right from the start. The plot does not have a classic ending. The characterization made every character either a victim or a villain. Boun and Prem looked identical to the surfaces they play in Until We Meet Again. The BL relationship appears similar to other Thai dramas. Nonetheless, the story is strong enough to stand on its own without relying on the BL (Boy Love) theme.

Star Power

Ticha Wongthipkanot (Preawa) and Pornnappan Pornpenpipat (Aya), also known as Nene, delivered outstanding performances. Their rendition of the scary characters will easily make you sympathize with them. The supporting cast did an excellent job with their roles.

Overall Opinion

Long Khong is a thrilling drama with just the right amounts of thrill, mystery, and horror. If you want a series that will give you goosebumps with its supernatural and dark plot, this is the series for you.
